ARRANGING AN ANGLO
 RUSSIAN TRADE, AGREEMENT

London, March 21.-(By The A. .P.)---- The despatch of British trade delega- tions to Russia this spring may be. ex- pected as the first tangible result Of the recently concluded Anglo-Russian trade agreement accc fding to official cir cles. Upon the investigation and reports of these agents vii! be based attempts to rebuild Anglo Russian commerce, start. ing in a small way and increasing as the volume of goods from Russia becomes increasingly available.
 The agreement, carried through oy
 Premier Lloyd George and Sir Robert
 Stevenson Horne, president of the sboard
 ftrade, in the face of determined op-
 position both from within and without the cabinet, is generally regarded as
 more important from it's political than it's economic impli cations. inasmuch as. ai- though it does not recognize the Soviet ] government in the regular diplomatic
 sense of the word. it is nevertheless tantamount to reorganization of the de : facto government. According to the view held in wei, informed ircles it will be | followed in the not distant future by a regular political treaty.
 Moreover, while it dies not establish l friendly relations, it at least establishes non hostile relations.

 Tne sist of General Atterbury's tesh- .nony today may be summarized thus
 Rules should be negotiated between ef- fcials ..f the roads and their own em- ployes across the conference table ike a game of poker
 The eiyht-hour day could not be uni verssliy applied to all employees, espe- ,ialiy tram service men, because the l,p-d didn't build the railroads that way
 TLc establishment of the hourly h&s's of shop work has destroyed the energy and initiative of shop employees and aDo- li,lon of piece work would be the most dreadful thing that could happen to rail- road employees.
 ,.eueral Atterbury declared that al- thoazh the national agreements had the object Of employing more men, ne was "a better friend of my men than any oi ;he ue.on men at this table The acc laration brought from Mir. Walsh query wh. ther General Atterbury represented the ssctcn hands of his road.
