sentiment is very marked.
Scandinavia is already getting rid
of drinking by the sternest kind Of

The railroads employed every pre-
cautionary mca:S at their command i'm

during the strike, said the director
general. but striH. conditions developed
new and intricate problems. Extra
hauling OF coal to avoid famines extra
terminal charges for handling the add
ed burden and a heavy reduction in
revenues resulting from the cessation
OF new coal shipments, combined to
cut the net operating returns, II was
