Washington, d. c., June %. Repre-
sentatives of the railroad unions ex-
pressed belief to-day that the promise
of early action by the railway wage
board on wage demands would tend to
squel h further strike disturbances.
With the return to work at midnight
of practically all striking yardmen at
the Potomac yards here, railroad off
eials announced that they would be
able to handle freight to and from the
South without delay. The walk out,
they said, had caused congestion at the
gateway and the rerouting of cars
through other points.
At the same time the interstate COM
merce commission is watching the
strikes in the eastern railroad centers,
being particularly concerned as to the
effect of the walkouts on its recent eff
forts to relieve freight congestion and
to move coal to the eastern points.

RULLDOZING TACTICS
BY RUM4Nf4
Much of the Carpet Bagging System of
Post Civil Days in United
States is Evident.

Bucharest, June 24.-That the car.
pet bagging system known to the south
after the Civil war has been applied
by the Rumanians in their new prov
inces of Bessarabia, Bukovina and
Transylvania, is the burden of com
plants that the minority population
of these provinces are sending to the
allied governments. 1t is charged that
these provinces have been loaded up
with dishonest civilian officials, who
work in connection with the armies of
occupation to bulldoze and terrorize
the local inhabitants. II is even
charged that the weather. landowners
are being arrested in the hope that
they will either desert their lands or
sell their homes far under the real
value.
According TO DIR. Nicholas Lupu, re.
Gently minister of the interior. the
army of occupation in these provinces
should long since have been removed.
AFTER four years of war soldiers re-
spect the rights of nobody" he said
In Bessarabia, where the army is
kept as a protection against the boil

ton have been many. IL is stated that
here the army has also prevented the

for the division of the land
The gravest charges come from
Transylvania and the Hungarian from

has long been deep. On those mem.
bers of the Hungarian nobility who

estates are quartered a half dozen
soldiers or policemen who practically
hold them prisoners. While they are
able to operate their estates, they are
not permitted TO receive visitors or
mail except by permission of these sol
diers. Many instances are cited where
the head of the house has been arrest
ed and so harrassed that he had 20
fee, leaving his home in the possession
of his wife and daughter. much after
the manner of the Russian and Polish
landholders during the early stages Of
bolshevism.
There are many cases cited where
thoroughbred horses have been stolen
and later entered into the races in the
different cities of Rumsnia.
There have been numerous reports
that the Transylvanians hope to find
way out of their difficulties by con
verting themselves into a small re-

or else of again joining themselves TO
the Hungarians.
II is charged that the land is being
taken from the rightful owners and
divided up among the Rumsnian car
pet baggers, who in turn sell it TO the
Rumanian peasants of the country.

L. S. POPULATION
ESTTH4TED los, 900, 900
Chief Statistician of Census Bureau
Makes That Calculation on Basis
of Report from i4o6 Cities.

Washington, D. c.. June 25.-The
population of continental United
States is estimated at l05,O00000 by j.
A. Hill, chief statistician of the census
bureau His calculation is based on
the combined populations of l,406 cities
and towns for which statistics have
been announced.
The increase over 1910 is placed at
about 100000, showing that the
growth of the country has not kept
pace with that in the previous decade
Almost complete cessation of immigra
tion during the war is the chief reason
assigned for the falling of in growth
Other suggestions were the two in.
fuenza epidemics, return of aliens TO
their native lands, and deaths Of sol.
diers abroad and at home during tho
war.
The aggregate population of the cit
les and towns on which the estimate
was made is 4l.02a.35 This ia an
average gain of 26 per cent compared
with 81 per cent in the previous dec
ade.
