neiena, Mont Marcn . n.in a
statement published here today G. Y.
Harry, federal commissioner of con
ciliation, Said he expected no' trouble
from caulkers employed at wooden
shipyards in the Puget Sound and
Columbia river districts.
"The caulkers, while they are pa
triotic as any other class of workers,
ate jealous against a Considerable in
crease in" their numbers," Mr. Harry
said. "Notwithstanding this, when
the war-time needs of the government
were made plain to them they waived
their objection to apprentices and
now. there Is one of these to everv
caulker. They waived also the ques
tion or common labor lor the work
known as horsing that is. work on
platforms, laying out material and the
like. . -V v

' "The result is." said Mr. HarVv.
"that the work has been wonderfully
speeaea up in tne coast yards and
the wage and hour scale is satisfac
tory, Caulkers are drawing $7.40 for
an eight-hour day and time and a half
for overtime and many of. the men
avail themselves of the overtime, to
their own benefit financially and to
the government's in connection with
its war -work"
: Speaking for the shipwrights and
caulkers, a union representative gave
out a statement in Seattle last night
that no fears need be entertained of
any shortage of caulkers. To
their loyalty, it was stated, they would
put apprentices at wok as caulkers

von Diedcrichs, commander of a Ger

Spanish-American , war; and who
clashed with Admiral Dewey, I the
commander of the American squad

The friction between Admiral
Dewey and Admiral von Diedrichs
arose from the German officer's dis
inclination to observe the rules of the
blockade established by the Ameri

miral Dewev insisted that the war-
K

was upheld in this contention by the
British naval commander. The Ger

the rule and on, several occasions
there was friction.

Large Crops in Prospect

While the Burlington will not begin
the issue of its monthly soil and
crop report prior to April 15, infor
mation coming to the office of Gen

there is considerable activity among
the farmers of Nebraska, all of whom
are making plans for putting out one
of the la.gest grain crops in the his

Numerous letters from Burlington
agents, who are in touch with the
farmers tributory to their respective
stations, say indications are that win
ter wheat has come through the win
ter in excellent shape and that al
ready fields are beginning to show
!;reen. The letters , speak of many
armers who arc going to sow a large
acreage to spring wheat and of others
who are going to turn their attention
to growing barley and oats.
Everywhere in 'the southern and
central portions of the state, . it is
said, farmers will plant an unusually
large acreage to corn. In most lo
calities they are taking, time by the
toreiock and testing the seed, it is
saia that a little difficulty is being ex
perienced in getting good seed, ow
ing" to the fact- that last year there
was such a large proportion of soft
corn. - .'':.

SYSTEMFOR WHEAT
Bureiu of Markets to Meet at
; Kansas City to Consider Pro-'
posed Plan of Standard
Y Grading.
Farmers, grain dealers, millers and
others interested in the growing and
marketing of wheat are invited to a
meting of the Bureau of Markets to
be held in Kai.sas City March 18. Ten
tative rules presented by the Bureau
of Markets t apply to the grading of
the wheat of next season's crop will
b the tonic of discussion. -
The Kansas City meeting is author
ized by the Department of Agricul
ture and in line with otheis that have
been held, or are to be held at central
points in' the grain belt of the United
States. A meeting dealing with the
grading proposition to some extend
was held in Omaha last November
and out of this meeting grew the idea
of fixing a uniform, system for the
grading ot wneat. ,
It is likely ,that the Kansas City
meeting will be attended by not only
a considerable number of the Omaha
grain dealers, but by many farmers
of the state. - I
1 The call for conference comjts
through D. F. Houston, secretary 'of
agriculture. He calls attention to the
fact that the war has brought about
fixed prices for wheat and the sub
stantial elimination ot competition in
wheat transactions and adds that it
has placed the milling and baking
industries on a new basis and that the
regulation of storage, mixing, clean
ing and distribution of wheat-has al
tered materially the relative import
ance of other jfactora.
Y f Y Standard System. ' ..
Under the proposed revision of the
grading system as applied to wheat,
a standard system is to be adopted.
Thus, if on the Omaha market wheat
is given a certain grade, that grade
will stilt apply when it reaches final
destination to be milled- ",'
The revision will provide for stand
ard grades and will designate the
number of pounds to the bushel that
each grade, cr classification ofgrade,
shall weigh. Hard red, dark northern
and northern spring; red winter and
the subclasses will be taken into con
sideration in fixing the rules for grad
ing and the same will apply with reference-
to the durums and the white
wheat
One thing to come up at Kansas
City will be the possibility of mak
ing a little more liberal method in the
grading of No. 1 wheat Under the
present plan, No. 1 must weigh. 61
p6unds to the bushel -and the berry
must be perfect No. 2 includes all
wheat that 'weighs more than 59 and
under 61 pounds to the bushel, pro
viding it is clean and the berry' is
good. V .
The opinion of a large number of
the grain dealers, and most of the
farmers is that if wheat weighs better
than 60 pounds to the bushel and
meets all other requirements, it
should grade No. 1 and take the price
that goes with this grade. As wheat
is now graded, if it weighs a fraction
tinder 61 pounds to the bushel, no
matter how pertect the condition may
be, it cannot be marked hp as better
than No. 2. r . .
