Siberia, that great lone lana about
which there is now so much discussion
is so vast that the imagination can
hardly grasp its extent. A vague idea
OF. its size may be gained from the
statement that it is forty-five times
as large as the British Isles, and con
talns nearly 100000 square miles
In all this enormous territory there is
a population not exceeding that Of the
City of New York. There are hundreds
Of thousands Of square miles that are

rivers for purposes Of navigation is

This is to be a week of strikes in

city. To the $1,000 strikers in the
dress and waist industry still holding
out against the Manufacturers Associa-
ton, will be added to-day 5000 girls OF
the housedress and kimono industry,
who are demanding a forty fourth hour
work week and an increase in wages.
Tomorrow the childrens dress work
esr are planning to go on strike and

the dress and waist strikers continues.
Benja Schlesinger, the president,
has accepted an invitation to address
the Womans City Club on the strike
on Monday, February "a.
In the course of the day state
ment was issued that the United Waist
League was supporting the Manufacture
ers' Association in the conuict with the
Union, and the girls were returning to
work. To this Mr.. Schlesinger made
the following reply:
at is true the girls arc daily re-
turning to work, but only in shops that
have settled with the union and con-
ceded to the workers the forty-four-
hour work week, an increase in wages
and all the other union standards.'

Satisfied With ~ l-2-HOur
Week of War Board

PATERSON, N. j., Feb. 15-Adolph
Lcssg, secretary of the local Indus
trial Workers of the World, at q mass
meeting in Institute Hall too day, urged
the rejection of the decision of the
War Labor Board for a forty-two and
one-half hour week and an eight and
half hour day for Paterson silk work
crs.
In the presence of crowd of 45O he
urged that they refuse to enter the
mills at 1880 Monday morning. He
said that a work day from 8 to 5
o'clock, with two and one-half hours
on Saturday, was the ideal work week
and should be insisted on by the silk
workers. They would even work four
hours on Saturday, making it forty
fourhour week, if the 8 a. nl to p. m.
day could be obtained. he said.
Louis Magnat. delegated by the
United Textile Workers to lay the
local strike situation before Washing
ton authorities, said to-day that more
than 80 per cent of the workers would
be on hand Monday morning when the
mills opened He stated further that
the majority Of them was satisfied with
the Labor BoarL's decision.

Has Worrying
Ever Helped You?

In all your life did you ever gain
anything, ever get the slightest bene-
fit from worrying over any situation
Did it ever help you to bear your bur
den better or to make it lighter?
What have all the years of worrying
in the past done for you? You know
that worrying has done nothing but
sap your vitality. lower your courage,
weaken your initiative, handicap your
executive ability and distress and con.
fuse your mind, thus uniting you
for clear thinking and decisive acting.
1t has probably cut off years of your
possible life. 1t has deepened. the fur
rows in your face, whltened your hair,
put a drag on your steps and taken the
spontaneity and buoyancy out of your
life. 1t has made you d poorer huS-
hand, a poorer father, poorer friend,
a less agreeable and less effective
partner and comrade. whether in
business or in social life. 1t has Grip
Piled your efforts and your business.
Multitudes of days have been pretty
nearly ruined by worry and anxiety.
The fear of disaster, of misfortune, of
possible failure, has been your worst
enemy. YOU have harbored it, vel
coined it, encouraged it by dwelling
upon it, listening to its doubts and
dire predictions. Multitudes of peo-
pln who have harbored it have been
ruined by it. 1t has filled our poor
houses, our insane asylums, our hospl-
tails Fear is the great human curse

North Dakota Summons
Hines on Rate Dispute
Supreme Court Orders Head of
Railroads TO Defend His
Freight Schedule

BISMARCK, N. d., Feb. l5.-Di-
rector General of Railroads Walker D.
Hines is summoned by an order Of
the Supreme Court of North Dakota,
filed to-day, to appear February %
and show cause why he should not de-
sst from collecting in this state
freight rates more than 25 per cent
and passenger rates one-half cent a
mile in excess of schedules filed with
the Railway Commission by the vari-
Gus railroads operating i'll the state.
The petition filed by the Attorney
General of the state declared the es-
tablishing of increased freight and
passenger rates last June by Director
General McAdoo was an invasion Of
state sovereignty, in that the Federal
railroad administration ignored the
state laws requiring schedules to be
filed with and approved by the state
Railroad Commission.

Big Jobs Open to
Right Men Released

U. S., Employment Service
Has Many Requests for
Trained Executives:
$1,000 Yearly Is Offered

If there be any among the great army
of the unemployed who values his or
her services at $4,000 year and "up, y
step forward and go to work.
For there is plenty of room at the
top, and the United States Employment
Service has compiled set of statistics
to prove it. A statement just issued
says:
"No matter what situation exists in
the field Of employment for skilled and
unskilled labor, and no matter how
many young college graduates are re-
turning from overseas, anxious to enter
every line of endeavor, the old maxim
that there is plenty of room at the top
is shown to be accurate.
High Grade Men Needed
"The professional and special section
Of the United States Employment Ser
vice, with headquarters at 16 East
Forty second Street, is engaged solely
with the work of placing high grade
men, and while it has a preponderance
Of young college graduates and men of
two or three years experience in busl-
ness, it has not yet found suitable ap-
plicants for large number Of positions
paying between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year. These positions require men with
executive capacity and good education
and also several years Of practical ex-
rerience in special lines
"While the export and import field is
flooded with young applicants desiring
to learn the business, some of the lead
ing firms of this city are unable to OBJ
tain sufficient number Of men with
knowledge of foreign countries, speak
ing foreign languages. A knowledge OF
Spanish appears to be particularly valu-
able.
Big Job Seeks Right Man
If anywhere there exists man ac-
tualy qualified as an expert account
ant and an all-round executive with an
Outstanding personality there is a
big department store in this city will
ing to pay $4,000 for him. Certified
public accountants are at premium
owing to the closing Of war contracts
and the income tax.
"In the engineering field, some of the
largest concerns are looking for execu-
tives with scientific training, and are
willing TO pay $500 q year and up
Coffee and sugar merchants have room
for men at the top. Some of the best
known banks in this city will pay from
$500 to $4,000 for 9en capable ot
managing departments at home OF
abroad.
"The present is particularly oppor-
tune time for men of real ability anC
experience in the advertising field. Ex
pert copywriters can obtain $4,000 {
year Purchasing agents can command
nearly their own price, and experienced
credit men can make $4,000 and up.
"Jn the opinion of the United States
Employment Service there never was q
time when employers appeared to be
more in need of men to fill positions al
the top or more willing to pay for then
services"

PARIS, Feb. 15.-Order and santv
are emerging from a situation be-
fogged by the Bernc conference, for
Samuel Gompers and the fourteen mem
bers of the commission on interna-
tional labor legislation have been
hammering the facts into shape. The
commission has agreed to the creation
of great international labor bureau
for the purpose Of collecting and dis
seminatng information on all sub
jects pertaining to industrial l:fe,
labor and the employment of workers.
thereby hoping to raise the standards
of labor in the backward countries.
The bureau will be located in the in
ternational capital of the world, which
possibly will be Brussels, and will oper-
ate under the league of nations.
The commission also contemplates an
international congress of workers, en-
ployers and government representa-
tives and is still discussing the details
This congress will be separate from
the bureau, although the latter will act
as its executive between sessions.
Centre of Activity
The labor bureau should become the
centre OF international activity and
provide the machinery for worldwide
industrial democracy, while the CON
gress brings together the workers and
employers to work out common prob
lens.
1t is hoped to have the first congress
shortly after the adjournment of the
peace conferences
Finally, there is the project, sup
ported by all the delegates, for trade
union congress to deal specifically with
the problems of organized labor every
where.
Berne Congress Weakens
Their practical, unvisionary plans
take the wind out of the sails of the
Bcrnc conference participants, among
whom riffs arc already appearing.
There are. indications that revolt
against the Bernc internationale may
begin in England, in which case it
would have strong following in
France, including Albert Thomas and
the group of forty loyal French Social
ist Deputies headed by Compere Morel
1t is significant that the deputation
elected at Berne to interview President
Wilson in Paris failed to connect, not
withstandng that at all times the
name of the President was invoked in
sl,pport of the words and acts at Berne.
