The presi- dent is planning to do everything possible to expediate the work of the conference.
 For the first time in several days President Wilson attended moving pictures in the George Washington's theatre tonight.

CONFERENCE IS HELD IN EFFORT
 TO END STRIKE
Walkout of 1900 Clerks Ties
 Up Freight on Three
 " Roads.

Atlanta, Ga, March l1.-First con fcrcnces in an effort to end the walk out of some 1900 clerks on the Nash vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis, the Tennessee Central and the Birming ham and Northwestern railroads were held here late today; A. N.' Banks, an Investigator of the labor division of the railroad administration, woh chanced to be in this territory con- ferred with F. l.. Winchell, regional director and with representatives of the clerk.
 The walkout today, which tied up freight traffic here on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis and also on the Seaboard through the consol- idation of the freight terminals here of these two roads, was caused by objections on the part of the clerks to A. P. Ottarson, a federal auditor.
 Promises Investigation.
 After his two conferences, MT. Banks said it was too early to make any statement as to the outcome and and neither MT. Winchell nor the committee representing the clerks WOudl OlScuSS the meetings. W.T. Winchell said, however, the walkout would be thoroughly investigated" and. indicated that w. L. Mapother, federal manager of the roads, was dealing directly with Washington of fieials in the matter. MT. Banks. said he could not yet say whether he would go to Nashville. "<
 Reports from Chattanooga said an embargo had been placed on ;.all freight shipments, but that local of cials announced tonight they would be in position to accept business there tomorrow. About 60 men are out at Chattanooga, and 45 at Memphis, where officials report little incon- venience as a result of the strike.

Imitation elks' teeth in large quant,' ties recently have made their appear ance in the local market to the alarm Of jewellers who deal in the genuine article. Some of the bogus teeth are easily detected. Others made of bone or walrus tusks are fair limitations of the genuine. A sure test, the jewellers say, is to immerse the teeth in muriatic acid. The acid will bleach and rough en the better limitations and almost dis. Integrate the poorer ones.

I'M ERE are some authenticated facts
I6 about socialized Russia.
u Il Workmen in great numbers had
left the big industrial centers and gone into
the army, or into the villages, or had
turned to peddling or petty specializing
Thus the Petrograd population had
dropped from about 100000 to 100000
The population of Moscow had lost 60 per
cent. In one group of Petrograd factories
the number of workmen employed, former
ly 277,000, was only 10000. The Moscow
metal workers union had lost $4,000
members out of $4,000. The chemical
workers unions had lost three fourths of
their members.
Not only had the number of men en-
ployed lessened remarkably, but the out
put per man had fallen. Thus, as reported
by the Petrograd Soviet, the famous Putt
loft factories, where 100000 rubles had
been paid in wages, and to which the state
had advanced 100000 rubles of public
money, had only produced 100000
rubles' worth of goods. In general, the
factory output was found to be about one
half as much as the money drawn from the
state treasury to keep those factories
going.
Wages were high, but prices were higher.

Along with this industrial collapse went
an orgy of loafing and plundering in public
