POPULATION DECREASES
Fewer People In Palestine Than in
Time of Christ.

There are now parely 100000 people
in all Palestine, population much
less than that of Galilee alone in the
time of Christ, says Sir Herbert Sam

there, in a report just made public.
Ten thousand immigrants arrived in
Palestine in the seven months between
September 1920, and May, 1921, he re-

Sir Samuel attributes the scarcity
of the population to lack of develop

The official condition of Eastern
and Central Europe, and internal diff

of the United States, says the rcpol

from providing, as yet, any large sums

there has been much pressure to admit

The Outlook (New York; in the
course of an editorial attack on the
Klan under the heading of Imperial
Lawlessness," quotes with approval
the common-sense view that is well
put by the Houston Chronicle:
Boys, you'd better disband. You'd
better take your sheets, your banners,
your masks, your regala, and make
one fine bonfire. without pausing To
argue over objects you have in mind, it
is sufficient to say that your methods
are hopelessly wrong. Every tradition
of social progress is against them.
They are opposed to every principle on
which this government is founded.
They are out of keeping with civilized
life"

BOARD DECIDES ID WITHHOLD A.,B. &A.
 DISPUTE DECISION
Recommend That Controversy Between Road and EmpIoyes Be demanded for Further
 Conferences
Bx Associated Press

Chicago, February 2l.-The united States railway labor board today recom-
 mended that the controversy between
 employees of the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic railroad and the road be
 remanded for further conferences before
 the board makes any decision in the case.
 The boards ruling stated that the con-
 ferences held prior to bringing the case
 before the board had not fully compiled
 with the spirit of the transportation act, and suggested that further conferences on all phases Of the situation be held
 before the board takes action.
 The case was brought to the board fol- lowing notices of a wage reduction, which was ordered rescinded by the board. The road argued financial in ability to pay tiie rates established under
 the boards wage award of July, 1920.
 The road was operating under $l0oUJ
 a month deficit, the officers showed, ana declared immediate relief was necessary to avoid scrapping the road. The re-
 duction notice was withdrawn pending presentation of the case before the board. When the case came up February lV' the employees maintained that matters oI l finance were without the boards juris- diction and should properly go to the interstate commerce commission. The D0aru s ueclSiOn says that, III NicW VI eiiS fact that conferences on whether the present rates are just and reasonable had not been held, the board did not deem | it necessary to decide to what extent, | if at all. a carriers financial condition is factor in the determination Of l Justice and reasonable wages to be paid | by such a carrier
 | Both sides agreed that the only argu- ment advanced by the railroad for the l reduction order was the roads poor financial condition. The notice posted by
 the road stated that the reduction was | to be made "on account of present con
 ditions.' and later introduced evidence before the board on lower cost Of living unemployment. comparative labor wages 1 in other industries and the general busi- ness situation in the territory served by the road.
 l Tn the Judgment of this board, the 1 conferences heretofore held do not com ply with the transportation act" the ruling said For the reason that nc I hearing had not yet been had between the parties with reference to the justness
 and reasonablness of the present wages.
