Cardinal Slated to Par !" ticipate in Balloting. VEIL OF SECRECY LIFTED Secretary of Congregation of Prop aganda and Papal Major Domo in Fore as Candidates. ROME, Feb. 6. (By the Associated Press.) Sunday passed without the election of a new pope. Balloting by the conclave of cardinals continued today, but so far as could be learned, without coming any nearer to the se lection of a successor to Benedict XV than previously. . It Is now considered a certainty that Cardinal O'Connell will arrive in time to take part In the balloting to morrow. Indeed, the cardinals are reported to have, discussed, at length the advisability of prolonging the sessions so that at least one repre sentative of the church In America could be nresent. The thick veil of secrecy which sur rounded the deliberations within the Vatican since the conclave convened Thursday was lifted slightly today when It was learned from a most au thoritative source that Cardinals Gasparrl and Merry del Val were lead ing candidates Friday, wun a ib scattered votes for five other car A I nftln. On Saturday morning the conclave was still deadlocked, ana me car dinals realized that the election oi either of these candidates was impos sible, and. In consequence, both were virtually eliminated in the afternoon. The cardinals were busy last night. looking for a compromise candidate with Camlllo Laurentl. secretary of the congregation of the propaganda, and Giovanni Tacci, papal major domo. orominently to the fore Car dinal Tacci was reported to be lead inir in the balloting The crowds awaiting tne apostolic benediction, which was not forth- comlne-. numbered probably loo.ouu. The long wait for the smoke signal. with the accompanying disappoint ment. led to the conclusion that the sacred college had decided to retard lt final choice until an American cardinal occupied a place among the thrones in the sistine chapel. St. Peter Square Crowded. Thna. it is thougnt that there will be no election until Tuesday morning, or if the choice is made tomorrow afternoon. It will not De ennounceu until tha nAxt morning. Cardinal O'Connell's entry into me conclave Is expected to tajce piace about noon. Whether he will be ushered immediately within the secret walls or remain outsiae until Just before a session begins, has not been decided. The Camerlengo has communicated to the marshal that the health of the cardinals is excellent, but nothing has been vouchsafed regarding the nature or progress oi tne pruceeu- c-r.ot weather brought out the i...a-Ac, r-mnA vet Assembled in his , rtai-'a anuare.

Regulation of the traf fic was lacking, and people moved in every conceivable direction and, while crowds were dispersing, there were still long lines of tram cars bringing tn the scene. The two streams converging made a veritable nwse of confusion, but siowiy me grea.1. uui gle was unraveled without serious in cident. ence. Great Britain desired more than did the United States. in the back of the president' always was the thought that conference could sweep away the war clouds hanging over this country and Japan a great step toward world peace would be achieved. Wfcat of Kavyf Is Asked. Meantime, a question universally asked Is: What immediate effect does the five-power treaty of limitation have upon the United States navy? With the exception of stopping con struction on some of the new ships, there is no immediate effect. There is to be no reduction of naval per sonnel.' As a matter of fact the number of ships which the navy is to keep under the Hughes plan will require me addition of between 25,000 and 80,000 men to the present enlisted force. The only battleship to be scrapped is the old Ohio, which has been used or late as a radio experiment ship, witn a skeleton crew on board. The enlisted strength of the navy today la 90.000 men. The navy has appropriations for 106.000 men, the ro be apprentices in training. lueoroucany congress Has used lores of 128,000 enlisted men, but the money for" the full force was not proviaeo. lUlBDR DISRUPTION TO BE PREVENTED Outside Contractors to Pay Prevailing Wages.

Great Britain became perturbed over the situation. t,i.iiiB Questions were being asked of parlia ment. Would the British government. the event of hostilities oetween Japan and the United States, be com pelled to go to the assistance oi ja Dan under the terms of the Anglo- Japanese alliance? The question was put in the house of commonds. The answer was a diplomatic one. mi government had heard no report of a possibility of war between the two nations and therefore the question of policy did not arise. Newspapers in Japan, in tne unitea States and in England were taking up the discussion of war In the Pa cific. The German press fairly huckled over the prospect.

It was said at the navy department that the marine corps was in the market for four-ounce shirts for use or tne men In the tropics.

Building construction, high way and contractors throughout the united btates have reached among themselves an agreement which pro vides: 1. That before undertaking work In other than home territory a contractor must ascertain the rates of wages paid labor in the locality where the woric is to b3 performed. 8. That the contractor must not pay more than prevailing wages. 3. That If he cannot get the men he needs the contractor will appeal for assistance to the local contractors, who shall consider his case, and that he must be governed by their actions. . That he may appeal from ad verse decisions from local contractors to th National Contractors' Trade association for relief. The foregoing was adopted in sub stance by the Associated General Con tractors at a general meeting in Cleveland on January 15. It is estimated that these firms em ploy approximately 600,000 skilled workers. Disruption to Be Stopped. By the adoption of tnis agreement the contractors hope to exercise far reaching and beneficial effects upon building and other construction costs in the United States during the fu tore. The agreement, however, it is stated, was not reached in anticipa tion of the imminent building boom, reckoned as greater than any the country has ever seen, but to check and eliminate an evil that has long been under consideration. Heretofore a contractor, say, with headquarters ia Chicago, might undertake work in another city say Indianapolis and, because of the magnitude of the work and the owner's desire to have it completed quickly, upset and disrupt the entire building trades labor situation by off - scale inducements to labor to come to work for him. There have been many such instances in the past and the recently adopted agreement is aimed at this practice. As a penalty the agreement pro vides that any contractor failing to observe its terms may be disciplined by the National Contractors associa tion by suspension or that he may be expelled from the organization. The text agreement states the fol lowing: 1. Whenever a member of the asso ciated contractors assumes any con tractual operations in territory with- n the jurisdiction of a local chapter other than the one in which he holds membership,, it shall be the duty of such member, before employing labqr n the various crafts, first to ascer tain from the local chapter the pre vailing wage scale. 2. That i t shall be the duty of such member to offer employment to the various crafts at a rate of remunera tion not more than die prevailing local wage scale ascertained from the local chapter. 3. That' in case of difference in secur'ng a sufficient force of men, due either to the magnitude of the work undertaken, or to a prevailing scarcity of skilled men, the member conducting such operations shall re quest a special meeting of the mem bers of the local chapter having juris diction and upon such meeting being called shall lay the matter before it. 4. That it shall be the duty of the local chapter immediately to investi gate the differences complained of and attempt in good faith to relieve such differences by whatever methods seem best under the circumstances. 6. That it shall be the duty of the contractor outside of the city to con firm the suggestions of the local chapter in attempting to relieve the conditions complained of, without in terrupting the prevailing wage scale. 6. That if the methods suggested by the local chapter fail to relieve the situation, the outside member and the local chapter or either of them shall place the entire matter before the executive board of the associated board of general contractors for its ruling, such ruling to be final. 7. That any member who shall re fuse to abide by any such ruling of the board after due notice in writing i shall be subjected to discipline as provided for by section 7 of erticle 2 of the rules of procedure. 1. 15 c BAKED OLYMPIA OYSTERS SUPREME 1 pt Olympia Oysters (about 00), 1 egg, I tablespoon each parsley, celery, warm water, 1 cup bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons each butter, cream; salt, pepper.
