MEDFOItD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREO OX. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 30. 191G PAGE THREE FRUIT IN SOUTH TO SUFFER LB. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30. Tre mendous losses are threatened, to producers and shippers of California fruits and vegetables by the embargo ulaced on nerlshable products In anticipation of the railroad strike. The fruit crop Is estimated as be- Iiik worth SO. 000.000 and is largely exported to the east. Four hundred cars of fresh fruits and vegetables were being forwarded east dally, each car wortli about $1,600, a total dally value of about $000,000. Colonel Harris, Wlelnstock, state traffic director, sent an appeal for arbitration late last night to Austin Garretson. his personal friend and . fellow member on tho federal com- mission on Industrial relations, ile wrote as follows: "Should a strike be declared by the brotherhoods, the railroad man ugers can truthfully point out that the best paid railroad men In the world, without a full and fair inves tigation by impartial arbitrators to be appointed by the president, do lnand what Is equivalent to a 25 per cent wage Increase. . "I therefore, hope that In the in terest of the men themselves and of organized labor which will be Jeopar dized If the strike falls, you will ub your deservedly great Influence In preventing tho calling of a strike." AT OF 11,01 OF E READY FOR BREAK PITTSBURG, Aug. 30. All rail' roads entering the Pittsburg district were busy today completing arrange ments begun a week or more ago for hand business In case of strike. Pennsylvania railroad em ployes some time ago were polled as to their availability for service in any department where they might be needed and report was made that in excess of 90 per cent had signified tholr willingness to work. This list, now In the hands of operating of ficials, includes division and general officers, many of whom are comne tent to handle any part of the rail road's work. Shippers are looking to motor trucks to solve many of their troubles, particularly those handling provisions and produce, while some of the more important war muni tion factories were said to have ar ranged for motor truck lines to carry their completed shells to the nearest points on Lake Erie where they can be sent to Canada by water and from there to Europe. Mill managers confidently pre dicted there would be no serious in terruption Jn the shipment of muni tions. KJU SAN JUAN, P. R Aug. 30. -Porto Rico has Just completed the most prosperous year in Its history. Of ficial figures compiled up to July 1, show exports and Imports at a valu ation in excess of $105,000,000 an in crease of $23,000,000 over last year, and a gain of more than $13,000,000 over 1912, which bad been the ban ner year. ' ' Exports for the past year exceeded $CC, 75,000 while Imports were slightly less than $39,000,000. Of this trade the Island shipped to the United States products valued at al most $61,000,000 and In return bought goods valued at $37,750,000. Out of the total trade of mora than $105,000,000 more than $95,000,000 was with tho United Stutes. There was a balance of trade In the Island's favor of more than $37,- 000,000. ,11 1 Kli sugar prices and a large in crease in the sugar output were chiefly responsible for tho big In crease In tho Island's trade. Dur ing the 12 months ending with June, the sugar exports were 424,955 tons, valued at $45,800,000. The average price of $108 per ton received for this sugar was the highest price in the history of this island industry. Other chief itoms of export were coffee, valued at more than $5,000, 000; cigars at more than $5,500,000; oranges, grapefruit and pineapples valued at almos't $3,000,000 and leaf tobacco valued at approximately $3,000,000.

ROME, Aug. 29, via Paris, Aug. 30 Workmen today chopped off the marble meorial names of Emperor William and the German crown prince, Frederick William, which had been placed in the senatorial palace on the ancient capital hill during a visit of the German emperor to Rome some twenty years ago.

There are 11,000 women clerks and stenograph ers now employed in the British gov ernment offices in Whitehall, n fnct which gives some idea of the way the women have filled the gnus left by the-men who have joined the army. And still- the cry is heard for more women, which leads to the belief that ho demand bus outstripped the sup ply- Even the government departments are finding difficulty in securing the clerical assistance they require.. At one time Whitehall officials could pick and choose their clerks, and the majority of those engaged were of an adaptable age from 'JO to 30 hut un intelligent girl of 17 without experience can now find a place, and middle-nged women need no longer feel that they are not wanted. To meet extensions of the nctiv- itics of such busy places ns the war office and the ministry of munitions, it is estimated Unit some 200 women clerks can bo absorbed every week into the official machinery. The pay is not high, though it is more than what was regarded satisfactory starting salary for young iris before the war. It is, of course, far below tho salary paid for similar work in the United States. For ordinary routine work or type writing the pay is one pound ($") n week, with six pence ,(12 cents) nn hour for overtime. For ordinary cler ical work the pay is 25 shillings ($(i.2,r)) n week, with an overtime rate of 7 pence. Competent stenograph ers start nt 2(i shillings n week which mnv be .raised to .10 alter a period of satisfactory service, und the overtime rate is 0 peneo un hour. The normal hours of work vary from 42 to 48 a week in different departments. The civil service commissioners are chiefly engaged in the task of sup plying the staffs required for tempo rary employment in public depart ments. The ministry of munitions and the postoffice departments have to u great extent made their own ap pointments, but in the lust six months the commissioners have found nearly G000 women for other government de partment.4, - L AFTER FAST CHASE SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.
