Although Strike Settlement Was
But Partial Victory for Rail-
road Men, Laborites Gained
in Strength.
LLOYD GEORGE GETS
CREDIT FOR RESULT
His Power in Country Has In
creased While the Strong
Men Who Would Have Used
Force Lost Most of Followers

London, October 9.-Political results
of the strike settlement are beginning
to be felt. Realization is dawning
that although a modified victory for
the railwaymen. the settlement was
downright victory for the labor party.
threatened as it was two weeks ago by
a serious split. The. strike itself
naturally brought all industrial Sec
tions of the party together. BY STRAIT
egy worthy of the cleverest politi-
clans the parliamentary section was
brought into the negotiations and the
success of those negotiations has
achieved party unity which two weeks
ago seemed out of reach.
The coalition movement has not
benefited in the same way, although
Lloyd Georges position in the country
has been greatly strengthened by his
final firm stand for a compromise
settlement against those of his ad-
visers who insisted upon unconditional
surrender. The country has no fond
ness for the strong men who would
have plunged it into civil strife if
they had been allowed to overrule the
premier's moderation and optimism
arose Immediately it became known
that the Geddes brothers were no long
er participating in the negotiations.
Nor is any credit given to Churchill
for the wisdom shown by the govern
ment in refrainfng from provocative
use of the military. All the credit
on the government side goes to Lloyd
George. while the laboor movement as
whole takes the balance.
The important result to the prime
minister is that he is now in a strong
position to make those changes in the
cabinet which the changing opinion
OF the country demands as the only
alternative to an early general cleo
tion- The Strike has divorced him
from the extreme Tories, who are as
ldisgruntled over the settlement as are
the scattered extremists on the other
side, and 1T can be confidently pre-
dicted that Lloyd George. having
reached the extreme limit of Toryism
and taken turn to the left, will now
continue in that direction. His diff
cuities are not over, but his future is
clearer than at any moment since the
last general election put him virtual
| ly in power of the Tories. His rela-
tions with the labor party have been
vastly improved, but it would need
more than one incident of this nature
to bring him within measurable reach
of his ambition to lead that party.

TOBACCO INDUSTRY
IN GEORGIA HAS
BECOME IMPORTANT

Washington, Oct. 9.-Georgia's rap
idly growing tobacco industry is called
a ''boll weevil baby" by the depart
ment of agriculture in the current
weekly news letter. This cognomen is
given because the farmers did not be-
gin to cultivate the weed intensively
until the boil weevil had made great
inroads into the cotton crop. As a re-
suit the tobacco crop increased 600
per cent in 1919 over the previous
year The Infant industry means to
Georgia farmers this year an average
of more than one dollar for every man,

Pensacola is one of the first naval
balloon schools in the country and

at Pensacola are especially steady and
the high per centage of evening on

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service-l
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-John D.
Rockefeller Sr., has Sworn off" his
personal tax assessment in New York
City from 100000 to s1.90O,000. At
the present rate this will cost the city
about $4,000 next year.
The only time Rockefeller ever
took similar action was during the
administration of Mayor Mitchell.
Then he successfully protested
against raising his assessment from
$5,000,o00 to S10,000,000. He con-
tfnued to pay taxes on the $4,000, 900
but late yesterday his attorneys swore
that his property in the city was
worth only $1,900,00O.
