And when one day the release came

relief to both husband and daughter.

old New England farmhouse where

with plain gray frocks and soft white
laces at wrists and neck and ruched
about her sweet old face above the
silver of her hair.
Starr had not been there since She
was a little child, and her sad heart
found her aunt's home restful. She
stayed there through the fall ana un-
til after the first of the year; while
her father came and went as business

Madison avenue remained closed e x

Huge Stores of Food

Thousands OF packages OF food,
valued at hundreds of thousands Of
dollars, sent from this country to re-
ieve the shortage in Poland. are or
the, piers and in warehouses of Danai~
and cannot be delivered, according to
report received from Warsaw by the
American Relief administration here
yesterday.
Packages which arrived IN the Bal
tic port last summer are piled high
in warehouses and may never be de
ivered, it was said. Virtually all Of
he sh pments to individuals in Poland
have been lost.
Edgar Rickard, acting chairman OF
the administration, in calling atten
tion to this huge loss, again warne1
Americans not to attempt to send sup
pies in individual packages because
such action not only made conditions
IN Danzig worse but failed to relievC
the growing stringency in Poland
Secretary Lansing's attention has been
called TO the conditions in the Baltic
port. and the Secretary Of State has
been asked to help prevent individual
shipments.
The only solution so far devised is

chase food drafts" here which the,
may send by mail to Poland. where

time the roads were taken over under
Federal control.
During the two or three years
antedating Federal control of the rail-
roads an alarming situation was created
in that the employees organizations,
as whole and through federations.
found themselves confronted with simi-
lar federations on the part of the rail
roads. the roads being represented by
conference committees and the confer
advisory committees 1t was alleged
by employees that these conference
committees of all Of the principal rail
roads in district were not permitted
to grant the demands of employees, or
even to make favorable compromises,
without the consent of the advisory
committee. The advisory committee, it
IS eyed, was the agent Of the great
banking institutions that controlled the
financial policy of all the railroads.
Minor Strikes Adjusted
"a bitrations have been resorted 20
in the later years, with the result that
employees reached the conclusion that
an arbitration award depended en-
tircly upon the frame of mind of the
neutral arbitrator Later, provisions
were made for submitting controversies
over the application of an arbitration
award back to the arbitration board
or to some other umpire, but this re-
versies over period of two or three
years.
at may be truthfully said that at
the time the railroads passed under
Federal control. because Of these vexa-

that Argentina and Canada had "signi-

relief" declared Secretary Glass, re-
citing the conditions related to him
by American officials just back from
Europe. "Ths relief is the humani-
tartan and safe thing to do. 1t is the
plain, practical common sense thing
to do, even if we don't get the money
