AMERICAN EXPORTS
OVER S4,000,000,00O
United States Doing Largest Busi-
ness In History In Worlds
Market,

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Amer-
lean exports for February reached
$4O9,S36,525, according to the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce.
This is the highest point ever reached
by the export trade in this country
and exceeds the high mark for De-
cember, 1915, by $5o,0OO,00O. It ex-
ceeds the total for January by $685.
100000. The total exports for the
first eight months of the fiscal wear
1916 are $2,5S6, 3O1,57O, and it now
seems probable that the exports for
the whole fiscal year will reach
O0,O0O,O0O.
February imports also set a new
high record, at $193,935, III, which
is about s1O,OOO,OO0 more than in
January, and much above the total
Tor any earlier February. Over two
thirds of the months imports entered
free of duty.
The excess of exports over impor1s
amounted to s215,901,4O8 in Febru-
airy and to 1926, 217,462 during the
eight months ending with February.
Last year February showed an excess
or $l14,6SS, 47S and eight-months De-
ROO an excess of $57S,S34.390, or less
tnan one-half that of the current pe-
Rod.

But Waddell Strike Breakers
Have Run Against Snag
In East.

SCRANTON, Pa, April 13.-The
Sunday ScrantOnian handles tho
Wilkes-Barre Street Car company, its
strikebreakers and the Waddell de-
tective agency without gloves be-
cause of the lon: street car strike in
that city. The strike has been on
for five months, and the Scrantonian
declares the lines are not being pa
tronized by the decent people of the
valley"
This has been a remarkable strug-
gle in more than one way" says the
paper. with the newspapers against
the men and every influence that
could be brought to bear, the public
through the worst part of the win
ter has refused to ride, and each day,
instead of seeing any weakness on
the part of them, has witnesses a re-
newal along this line
The Waddell strike agency has
been given fine bump in that city.
1t has utterly failed to break the
strike. The lawsuits brought against
the men have only served to incense
the public the more against the COM
pany, and when it IL said today, that
the strike has been won by the troll.
ley men, it Is no exaggeration.
Decent people of Wilkes-Barre
and the other towns have no use for
scab-manned cars. They have got
along nicely during the winter and
now that the fine weather is at hand
they will continue to walk or ride the
'jitneys,"
