abetting Lieut.. George Evans Rule In
selling discharges from the army to
enlisted men. has returned home with
an honorable discharge and a COM

Rule denied completely his guilt Of
any of the charges and attempted to
saddle them on to Sergt. Major Bull
lard. He issued numerous statements
in newspapers in Chattanooga, his
home town, and these charges were
widely published in Georgia to the ef-
feet that Bullard had inherited $10,-
600 in cash from rich uncle and
had led a wild, gay life around the

picion to attach to him. AS matter

NEXT TUESDAY FIXED
AS DAY FOR WALKOUT
FORERUNNER OF NATION
WIDE STRIKE.
Boston Leads in Demands OF
F" Workers for Higher
Wares.

Boston, April 1.-THE strike voted
by upwards of 5000 Boston and New
England telephone operators for next
Tuesday to enforce their demands
for higher wages will be merely the
forerunner of a nationwide strike
| now scheduled for next month, ac-
cording to union leaders.
g. M. Bugniazet, International
vice-president of the Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, in addressing a
strike meeting of Boston telephone
operators asked, them to take no ac-
ton at this time. He told them it
was not case Of lack of sympathy
In part of the international officers
but merely question Of union law.
He assured the Boston operators
that nationwide strike would prob
ably be ordered next month.
When the fifty-nine locals aff1-
lated with the New England joint
council of telephone workers polled
an overwhelming strike vote on Feb.
49,. this action was indorsed by the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers. Telephone workers
unions in other sections of the coun-
try went on record as favoring
strike. But the international officers
found that certain other laws must
be fulfilled. Another set of ballots
for a referendum vote on the nues-
tion of special assessment to finance
the strike was sent out.
It is expected that tahulation of
the special assessment ballots will
take place May II. Then it is ex-
pected that the international body
will issue it's order for a nationwide
strike.

her lead in the commerce Of the world
as follows:
Would Revive Markets.
The activity OF manufacturers II,
the United States of America and the
keen commercial instinct with which
they are seeking to revive old and
secure new markets for their goods
have led to many complaints that
British manufacturers are being left
far behind in the struggle for the
markets of.the world.
ITO British residents abroad. it is
peculiarly exasperating to see Amer
ican business men taking up prem
ises In, say. Scandinavia, for the pur-
pose of trading with large firms IN
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Fin
land. and with an eye to the future,
establishing jumping off place from
which they will be able to establish
themselves in Russia when that
country is once more in a sufflciently
settled state to permit of trade rela-
tions being rerestablished. The
same complaint , Is being made by
Britons in all parts Of the world that
