MAIN STREET Cafeteria NOW SERVING TiE PUBLIC Bess Is Paramount FOR EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL No Job too Small or too Large Tokio, Nov. 20.-A lengthy state- ment was issued today by the depart-, ment of communications, announcing that negotiations between this country and the United States in regard to the embargo on steel have been broken off. Japan had been seeking to have the embargo on steel raised to a cer- tain extent in her favor, but the two countries could not come to any satis-= factiry agreement. The negotiations began last sum- Amer, when the United States put an embargo on all steel shipments ex- cept where the steel was to be used for the Allies' benefit. Japan just, ,placed a large order in this country and protested. America replied that 4f the Japan1ese would divert their ships to trans-Atlantic service, they could have free steel. This demand would destroy Japan's European trade, the statement de- glares, while another alternative of- fered was not adequate. This alter- native was a proposal by the United States to purchase outright whatever ship tonnage the Japanese were wil- ling to spare. The price offered was $175 a ton. This is the price fixed by the shipping board for American tonnage. Ships on the open market are sell- ing for as high as $300 a ton, and it was not a surprise to officials that Japan considered' America's offer too low. However, there was little doubt' expressed that the two governments would come to some agreement. TO SAFEGUARD ALL MUNITION WORKERS New Orleans, Nov. 20. - The ship timber needed by the United States government at the present time must, comne from the South, and the southern pine association has started a. south- wide educational and patriotic cam- paign for the purpose of arousing the southern lumber industries to their z esponsibility. A number of speakers have been ob- tained who will visit every,town and hamlet in the South and urge the workers to put forth every effort to furnish the enormous quantities need- ed. They will be told that the fate of the nation depends upon ships and that ships depend upon southern lumber. Circulars are being sent out with the following inscription: Mr. Lumberman: Our allies are fighting our battles abroad. Unless their soldiers are fed and supplied, America will have to fight alone. They not get supplies without ships and cannot get supplies without the ships and ships cannot be built without tim- ber. It's up to the South.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Workers ir arsenals and factories engaged in government work must be surrounded with the most perfect safeguards, ac- cording to a general order recentlyd made public by -the chief of ordnancet to arsenal commanders and manufact- urers. Efficient operation of places where government work is carried on, it is claimed, demands that the workers not only be protected with the ordin- arj safeguards, but that their hours, wes and working conditions be sat- isfactorily adjusted. Consequently, a list of suggestions for arsenal com- manders and manufacturers has been issued by the quartermaster general. Among the suggestions as to hours of labor are the following: That the working day should not 1e longer than 10 hours for an adult workman; that 'he working period on Saturday should not exceed five hours; and that one day of rest is seven should be a uni- versal and invariable rule. As to wage standards, it is suggested that those' already established in the industry and in the locality should not be low- ered. The minimum wage rates should be made in proper relation to the cost of living, and in fixing them, it should be taken into consideration that the prices of necessities of life have shown great increases. According to the standards suggest- ed for the employment of minors, no child under 14 years of age shall be employed at any work under an'y :- n- ditions; no child between the ages of 14 and 16 years shall be employed more than eight hours daily or 48 hours a week, and night . work is prohibited.. COIZENS REPEATS HIS $300 OFFER TO DEBATING LEAGUE James Couzens of Detroit, sent word to the oratorical board last night that A class in public speaking has been organized at the University of Wash- Jngton for the benefit of Seattle busi- ness men. The object of the course is to study the best manner of pre- senting business problems before com- mittee meetings and business organ- izations. Campus rules at the University ,of Ptah are being enforced by a vigil- ance committee. This band is com- posed of upper classmen. The fresh- men have learned the traditions of the university surprisingly well since 1any delinquents have received damp and chilly punishment. Utah rooters are not hogs. This was the decision handed down by a railroad company to the students of the University of Utah, when a num- ber of daring spirits endeavored to rollow their football team in a hog car. Case School of Applied Science will have a large service flag; The flag will contain a star for every Case man whonhas entered the service since the United States declared war. Room will be left for the addition of more stars. The flag will be mounted on a pole together with a large American flag.
