PACT
WITH SOVIETS
TO Be SIGNED
Great Britain S Action in
Agreeing to Relations
Subject Of Comment
by British Papers
Some Use Strong
Language.
Pact Is Signed


London, March 16.-The trade
agreement under which commercial
will be resumed by Great
Britain and Russia was signed here
this morning by Representatives of
London, March 16.-Signature of
the trade agreement by which Great
Britain and Russia will resume COM
mercial relations, was expected hel-
today. 1t was reported the board of
trade. after having carried on nego.
tiations with Leonid Krassin, repre-
sentative of the Russian Bolshevik
government, had rewritten several
clauses which had presented consid-
cradle difficulty in the past. The prin-
ciple that Russia will cease all pro
paganda outside Of that country, ard
that England will observe neutrality
regarding Russian internal affairs
was given due recognition in the
clauses which were altered.
The fact that the trade agreement
was about to be signed, revived, in
this mornings newspapers, the con-
troversy regarding the eXpediency of
such a move. The Morning Post in an
editorial captioned THE Unclean
Thing" vehemently inveighed against
the agreement and angued that its
signature would inevitably involve
recognition OF the soviet regime,
which is blackened by every crime
and the agents of which are actively
plotting the destruction OF every civ
llized state"
Under this agreement" the news
paper continued: British traders
eventually will become receivers of
stolen goods"
The Chronicle, on the other hand,
approved OF the agreement on the
ground that the world can no longer
afford to leave Russia outside the
pale of commercial intercourse" The
Daily News declared 1t expected trade
with Soviet. Russia would relieve un-
in Great Britain, saying
Talk about blood-stained gold is hte
rhetoric of blind hatred"

Luck must have been OF the all
round seesaw variety In a poker
game that was begun yesterday aft
ernoon after the mon were paid at
the Parker Run mine near Rives-
vile. At o'clock this morning,
the game was still in full blast and
might have been going yet had 1t
not been for the interruption occa-
stoned by Sheriff Charlton and a
squad Of deputies who swooped
down on the shed where the game
was in progress and arrested the
outfit. Six men were sitting In
and each posted forfeit of $35 for
his appearance at later date for
trial. The owner Of the premises,
Julian Musung, was compelled to
put up deposit Of $50,
The others arrested were Paul
Dokoro, Fortunate Colras, John
Sabo, Joe Ktsik. Gerson Pakosi and
the ubiquitous John Smith.
Complaint was made to Sheriff
Charlton that the gang had been
playing poker and drinking all
night, making the night hideous
with their arguments and discord'
ant singing, but when the officers
arrived at 9 o'clock this morning
they seemed to have got down to
the business at hand and we're play
ing in the silence that ought to go
with the great American game.
Tony Krohmar was arrested last
night by Sheriff Charlton and his
deputies at -Bellview on charge
of carrying revolver. Tony pack
ed a SO and said he was on his
way to Mingo county to do his bit
toward disrupting the peace and
order Of that community.
Two men giving the names
Marion Stevenson and John
Hughes, were locked up in the
county jail last night for drinking
some 'alcorub" In the basement Of
the court house. They were re.
leased after a few hours in jail and
warned not to repeat the offense.
