An econo mic agreement with Spain under which General Pershing will get mules, army blankets and other ma terials in that country in return for cotton, oil and other commodities from the United States, was signed today in Madrid. The State depart ment was so advised tonight by Am bassador Willard. The terms of the agreement could not be learned tonight and it was not known whether they had any bearing on the rate of exchange between the two countries, which the United States has desired to adjust because of the recent depreciation of the Am erican dollar in Spain where it is now worth only about 75 cents. Success of the negotiations was welcome news to officials here at the ability to buy supplies in Spain will save ship tonnage and enable General Pershing to build up his reserve stores much more rapidly than prob ably otherwise would have been pos sible. Will Aid Ship Tonnage. The negotiations followed refusal of Spain to supply a large number of mules, 200,000 blankets and other ma terials ordered by General Pershing last month. The official reason given for the failure to fill the order was said to have been that the Spanish railroad system had broken down and it was impossible to handle goods' destined for France. Negotiations at Madrid apparently were going on when it became known that Spanisch steamers were being held up in American ports for lack of fuel. Through their control of bunker coal the United States and the allies were in a position to stop not only the shipment of goods to Spain from the allied countries, but from neutrals as well. Spain is dependent upon this country for large supplies of food stucs as well as other materials. Majors Belmont and Brown, United States army, are understood to have conducted the major part of the ne gotiations for the United States, while Spain's representatives were Senor Urquijo, a banker, Senor Gar nica, under secretary of finances and Senor Pina, former Spanish ambas sador to Washington. May Compromise to End the Ship Row Washington, Feb. 21-Coneeasions to William L. Hutcheson, president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, in adjusting the claims of ship yard carpenters appeared prob- . able tonight after further conferences between governmnt officials and of ficials of th carpenters' union. The original signers of an agree ment to leave all differences in ship? yards to the shipbuilding labor ad justment board for settlement, will be called together to see if the agree ment can be amended to meet the carpenters' demands. The signer in cluded navy and shipping board of ficials and representatives of 17 unions whose members are engaged in ship yard work. The carpenters' or ganization was the only one whose members are employed In shipyards that did not become a party to" the memorandum. Hutcheson has declined to leave to the board decisions respecting condi tions of labor, but has agreed to let it adjust questions concerning hours and wages. Today he presented to the conference a proposal for signing the memorandum if it is amended to permit a representative of the, car penters to have a say in the board's findings. - Hutcheson left for New York to night, announcing that he would not attend further meetings until the gov ernment had agreed to accept his pro posal. Takes Casualty Lists to Awaken Women to the War Chicago, Feb. 21. Mr. Thomas Peston, jr., formerly Mrs. Grover Cleveland, came to Chicago today to take charge of the women's activities in connection with the Congress of National Service. The women of America are not working together sufficiently to win the war and until they do, it will never be won, she asserted. "America is not used to .being seri- ' ous about anything and it will take the casualty lists to make women realize the enormity of the problem.''
