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."

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.
The island's chief purchases from
the United States were rice, valued
at $5,600,000, flour valued at ap
proximately $2,000,000, hams and
pickled pork valued at $2,000,000.

BOSION TO RELY
UPON HIE T!
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. The names
were ordered removed by tho, city
government.
LONDON, Aug. 30. 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, -
