that aftor q service of thirty-seven
years as financial secretary OF that
Institution Dr. Charles II. Ryland has.
at his own request, been relieved OF
the arduouE dutles attached to that

with Richmond College SO long that ho
seems an inseparable part Of the in
stitution-one rarely thinks of the ono
without thinking tho other. During
his fine stewardship. he has seen the
endowment of tho college increase
almost tenfold and small student
body enlarged into proud en-
roliment. Though Richmond College
has seen panics come and go. not one
cent OF invested money has been lost
during the administration of Dr. Ryland
His service TO the College has been
unfalteringiy loyal. and now that he
has laid down the cares of the ex-

Sah Francisco. Sept S.--Whcther
the shopmen on the Harriman rail
roads in the West snail strike or shall
negotiate further with the railroads
in order to secure recognition Of the
system federation will bc determined
at a conference which began here
early today. Participating in the
meeting are forty members of the
general advisory committees of tho
various unions whose members are
employed I'm the railroad shops and
the five International presidents of
these unions. Though the union lead
ers decline to discuss the situation
for publication It Is clearly establish
ed that they are determined to gain
recognition for the system federation
even If 1t is necessary to forego every
other demand, The international
presidents have heretofore handled
the situation alone and the
presence of 1hc advisory committee
men indicates that they will report on
the temper of the shopmen of the
Hartman roads on proposition 10
declare a general strike.
Although the tenor Of these reports
has not been made public It is undcr-
stood the union shopmen overwhelm
