New York. The farmers markets
in the city Of New York are run under
Tie most contemplate system Of hand-
ling farmers markets anywhere in the
country leekng IN graft, cheap pole
tics and coerc. on vicious, parasite
condition controlled BY spectators, for
tie benefit of spectators.
So says the current issue Of the
American Agriculturist. Simultaneous
". lie New York Market Growers Assn
declares that farmers in this vicinity,
resentng the outrageous conditions un-
der which they are forced 10 pay tri-
butte q these cheap grafters and poll
ticians, annoyed at the insanitary con-
ditions Of the markets, tired Of petty
graft and the tolls they are forced to
pay at every move while trying to sell
their products, unable even to get Mar
ket Commissioner E. ]. O'Malley to
tslk with them Of conditions, are stop
ping their trips to the city.
The spectators are given the best
places in the market, the farmers say,
and self-appointed officials who have
some mysterious pull with the Tam-
many administration collect nightly toll
fol- performing. services which should
be performed BY officials Of the city.
The farmers have to pay 81 a n ght
to get places reserved and they only
are compelled to pay $3.50 a night adj
ditionally to men called carriers who
help them unload. Then there is a fur
ther holdup Of Is cents to men who
fetch water for their motor radiators
from some nearby restaurant, altho the
city hydrants are ell about. Still am
other form Of graft has been brot to
light in watchmen for which the far
mers sometimes have to pay ST a night
to watch Their produce About $I4|
600 d year is coilected, from the farm
ers in that way a sum for which Che
city could put SIX policeman on duty
to see thet produce is net stolen.
Commissioner O'Malley, the grow
ers association declares, has ignored
repeated requests to meet them and
talk over Improvements.
The formers are getting Disguised"
said Morriss L. Ernest, counsel for the
association. The city Of New York
ought 10 conduct markets as they do in |
Detroit. which would draw in more and
more farmers. Instead, more and more
farmers are leaving the local market.

GERMAN STANDARDS SEEN AS
FUTURE BASIS OF U. S. TRADE
by The Federated Pressl

New York. ~ German standards
as the word is applied in manufactur-
ing and not in philosophy-will some
day be the standards by which Amer
lea will have to furnish materials to
most Of the countries Of the world, ac-
cord ng to Oscar R. Wikander, an Am
er,can engineer, who has just returned
from Germany where he represented
the American Engineering Standard
committee.
An example Of the progress in STAN
dardization which Germany has made
since war time conditions began" says
Mr.. Wikander, SIS the recent story Of,
Russian locomotives. Nineteen German
and one Swiss manufacturers built 700
for Russia, and every part
in every one Of them was interchange
eble with the corresponding part in any
lof the others.
Because of this Standardization, ev-
cry locomotive which was disabled be-
came store Of spare parts for the
others Of the same type. Standard.za-
, ton work is being forced BY Germans
because they want to introduce their
standards in the great import countries
land possibly in the entire world.
70 this end the great German de-
iliYeries in kind to France will, as far
as possible, be made according to Ger
snan standards, thus introducing them
Into that country.
Standardization in Germany is the
work Of a huge committee, which
works in splendid cooperation with
the manufacturers. This committee,
called the 'Normenausschuss, is most
interested in American Standardization
and is veey anxious to coIlabosate with
Jus. IN establishing international STAN
Edards.
England, too. is working to force
the adoption Of her standards on man
ufacturers in her colonies and domin-
ions, and it is time for America to plan
to meet the conditions which some day
may force us to manufacture goods
THAT will conform to the standards
made in Germany. !" Duluth News

GERMAN SEAMEN
VICTORIOUS In STRIKE
[Bx The Federated Pressl

Hamburg. Germany For five
weeks German ocean shipping was al
lmost at standstill, owing to strike
Iof ships Officers, engineers, machinists
land stokers when involved the whole
water front of Germany and especially
The ports Of Hamburg, Bremen and
Stettin.
The issue was one Of higher wages
to meet the advancing cost Of living,
and of putting into practice the eight
hour day on the high seas-a demand
THAT has thus far been enforced only
lby the French seamens union.
| The strike was settled through an ar
Filtration award by Germany's federal
department of labor, and was accepted
| BY the workers in referendum vote
Iby an overwhelming majority, after an
earlier awerd, July rs, had been turn
fed down by them. The award which
YVES accepted gives the strikers a 90ao
increase Of wages over their April wag-
es, leaves the quest en- of overtime work
beyond the eight hours open to fur
| Their negotiations, giants a considera-
IDLY higher sum of money for QUILTING
men with uniforms and other necessar-
lies, and makes larger allowance fer
seamen who furnish their own food
while en- route. There is to be no
blacklist against participants in the
strike.
The strikers feel that they have gain
ed practically every point except the
eight-hour day. but console themselves
with the fact that in other countries.
too, the eight-hour day at sea is, with
the exception of France, a myth.
When the question Of a new wage
agreement first came up at the end Of
June, the department Of labor proposed
scale that seemed unacceptable to
the workers. They therefore declined
the departments suggestion. There
upon the Federation of German Ship
Owners refused to deal with the union.
The workers appealed to the depart
lnent of labor to persuade the ship own
ers to recede. but the department YVES
Ipowerless, The strike was the inevita-
bic result.
The German shipping industry he's
been severely hit by the strike. This is
evident from reading Of the papers
owned by Hugo SHINES, who is heavily
interested in shipping. What seems to
hurt the SHINES editors most is the fact
| that there is a general breaking away
on the part of the workers from their
trade union leaders. ut was the bust
ness Of the trade unions" says the
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, ito pre-
serve the terminating life in our ports
and to save German shipping. They
are showing themselves, however, eth
er unwilling or powerless to exert the
necessary influences upon their mem
bership.''

GERMAN SCHOOLS TEACH
ANTI-WAR SENTIMENTS
(By The Federated Pressl

Berlin. That war is a hindrance TO
culture may now be taught in the
schools Of Prussia, in accordance with
an order from the minister Of education
Dr, Boelitz. He bases his decision on
Article 48 of the national constitution,
which prescribes that teaching must be
conducted in the spirit Of German ma
tional ideals and of the reconciliation
of nations.
The opinion Of the minister was
handed down as the result of a con-
troversy between a Berlin teacher.
Erich Witte. and the Berlin board Of
education. White had put into his
course of lectures TOPICS such as inter
national courts of arbitration, self-de-
determination of nations, international
life of to-day, and the culture-destroy-
ing nature Of war.
His school board objected, Witte was
told that he must not mix polit cs with
education White took his case direct
to the minister Of education, who sus-
tanned him.
The reactionary and miIitsristic pa
pers of Germany are enraged over the
incident. The Taegliche Rundschau
calls the permission 10 hammer the
thesis about the destructive Influence
of war upon youthful brains a daring
one. It certainly isn't the business Of
education to take one-sided slogans Of
an international clique Of pacifists and
