The matter is still lacking adjustment between the company and the men.
 Officials of the company, which oper- ates the interurban railway lines, water and power station here, claim that the reduction in wages had been ordered pe- cause it was absolutely necessary to meet expenses of their operating departments. The men claim that present living costs do not justify a reduction in wages.

OF THE
 PEASANTS ALL GONE
High Prices and No Work Responsible for Condition of Those in
 Rear of Allies
By Associated Pres.

Archangel, February n.-High prices and no work have exhausted the savings of the peasants, and according to advices reaching the American and other allied food committees in Archangel, the world will have to feed and clothe the half. million people who live behind the allied lines in north Russia for at least S months.
 Six months ago, almost every peasant family in this district had it's secret hoard of banknotes While in the cities the DC ople were, in many instances, starving, the peasants had money hidden under mattresses, in socks and buried in the ground and hidden away from possible Red Guard raiders were supplies of grain and other foodstuffs
 Tn August frost killed most of the meagre acreage of grain that was sown last year in this territory which is most ly forest. The secret food hoards were eaten months ago. Lumber mills and other concerns which usually gave em- ployment have been shut down, and the peasant, with no source of revenue, has been digging every day into his money savings to buy the food that came ip from
 
 no prospect of north Russia feeding her self until the next harvest, and even this i, is made extremely difficult by the short az of good seed.
 The allied food committee in Archangel are seeking way to help this population The conditions that prevail in this ter Sitory among a population of 5O0OO0 are believed to prevail to an equal or worse extent throughout central Russia, under bclshevik control.
 The American Red Cross has ceased civ ilian relief on large scale in the Arch angel district. since this work is to be taken over by the Hoover federal organ ization, whose representatives at this date have not arrived.
 The Archangel Wiestnik, commenting on the situation, says: 'If the northern region desires to be able to subsst on it's own supplies, the necessary seed grains must be received not later than in four months. If they are not received in that time the population is either condemned to starvation or they will depend entirely upon the allies.''
 Relief work among the peasants in the hunger-stricken territory along the Mur- mansk peninsula and on the Arctic Pe- chora, at this time of the year, is greatly hampered by the ice. An ice breaker with about 700 tons of flour sent to the Pe- chora district had to return to Archanges unable to penetrate the ice fields.

HOW OLIVER MADE GOOD

the situation. The navy found it neces- sary to depend on the man who knew the situation. The navy found it necessary to depend on MT. Oliver because he knew exactly what the navy required-must have.
 IS PUT IN CHARGE
 It was the most natural thing in the world that when subcommittee were named to consider certain big subjects, MT Oliver was put at the head of such subcommittees. And just as the work of Congress is done in committees. so the work of committees is done in sub- committees.
 Therefore, as matter of fact, Mir. Oliver was guiding the legislative end of the navy when, due to the existence of war, it was of vital importance that the work be well and skillfully done. And inasmuch as the navy, in time of war, is one of the two big arms of defense the real proportion of the Alabamian's S job may be realized.
 Mir. Oliver was chairman of the sub committee which investigated the navy and the activity of the navy following the signing of the armfstice and the prac- tical conclusion of peace. His report was thorough and when necessary, vigorous, but fair and considerate throughout.

 He was member of the sub-commit- tee of the naval affairs committee which visited France. He saw the battlefelds and the devastated districts, and at one time was actually under fire.
 Later as a member of his committee, he stood with Secretary Daniels in the harbor of New York when the battle ships of the line, from their guardian ship of the war zone, came steaming back to the American shores for re- view
 Later still he accompanied the com mittee to the Pacific coast trip from which he has just returned.
