RAILROADS ARE CUTTING
FORCES OVER COUNTRY

The fact that the Rock Island is
cutting off many employees in the
local yards is not really a sign of
hard times according to a railroad
man of this city.
According to this gentleman, who
is in position to know, lot Of en-
ployees were added during the gov
eminent control whose duties were
merely to create a multiplicity of red
tape, yet who had no active part in
the work of the roads.
While it was claimed that not
enough men could be secured to run
the roads many new positions were
created and filled. His idea of the
matter is that the railroad manage
ment did this to increase the operat-
ing expense to discredit government
control.
Now that the roads are back in
private hands these men are being
dispensed with, and his conclusion is
that the roads are merely getting
back to a pre-war help basis, the I'M
necessary employee being turned off
in the interest of economy.
He is authority for the statement
that no men are being laid off in the
operating department for the reason
that none can be spared, and only the
figureheads being dispensed with.
If this be true the fact should
cause no concern. If the roads are
merely returning to pre-war help
basis the laying off of men cannot be
contributed to "hard times" but
merely conservative management.

Slowing down Of British industry has
resulted in part from the German i'm
portations, and caused many thous-

The Treasury Department. watch
ing the financial aspects of this COM
mercial drive by Germany, places
much Importance upon the fact that
German industries are gradually re-
cuperating with better facilities for
obtaining raw materials. An impor-
tant factor, too, they say, in the Ger
man trade situation, is that the unit
of productive power among German
workmen is higher than that of many
leading countries at this time. Ger
man employers and workmen, they
are advised, find they are no longer
able to ask and obtain top prices.
An entirely different trade standard
in Germany, officials say, will re-
suit from the new methods for fixing
the wages and profits and individual
producers, and with increased ability
to secure raw materials and semi
manufactures.
Officials reviewing the German
trade invasion in other fields, partic-
ulahy Britain, declare that while
it is a serious question affecting for
eign trade policy, it has had the i'm
effect of forcing down the
artificial commodity level in British
home markets. American officials
expect that the same German tactics
will be in evidence in the United
States soon after formal proclama-
ton of peace and full restoration of
trade relations. 1t will present almost
Immediately an issue of the highest
for the American Con-
gress to handle. The demand will be
raised by industries encountering
this severe form of German compe-
tition, that Congress must act to pro-
tect them from ruin. The effect of

States upon the labor market might
be disastrous, especially in some of
the industries in which the pre-emi-
nence she held before the war.

by the pin tail, but this latter duck

ADD TO BRITISH OPTIMISTIC

NBN international news oerViceJ
LONDON, Feb. 9.-British offic-
ials are expressing optimistoc feelings
regarding the settlement of the Ger
man indemnity question.
In official circles it is thought that
a satisfactory solution of the question
will be reached despite the opposition
aroused by Germany.
1t is said that no German counter
proposals will be considered unless
they are similar to the demands of
the allies.
German officials do not take kind
ly to the terms submitted to them,
but it is thought that sufficient pres
sure can be brought to bear to COM
pei acceptance of the agreement for

LEGION POST AND AUXIL-
larry HARD TO BEAT

TOPEKA, Feb. 3.-A good liv'
American Legion post and Women
Auxiliary, in those towns whose post!
are fortunate enough to have an aux
iliary-and they now number 95 ii
Kansas-is a combination hard to
beat when it comes to community bet
terment. Take Kingman as a per.
tinent example. Kingman with some
$500 inhabitants was without any
central place for meetings or social
affairs, and this conditions was par
ticularly apparent on the return of
the service men.
A memorial hall was planned-but
through lack of funds that was a
matter of future benefit. Rather
than await such time, the American
Legion and the Auxiliary proceeded
to select a committee of eight, four
from each body, and in short order
things began to move. In two weeks
time $1,000 had been contributed by
public-spirited business and profess
sional men of the city-an empty store
had been converted to suit their
needs and the club was opened with
a house-warming at which were do
mated many useful articles such as
lounges, chairs, tables, books, pill
lows, pictures and plants, and even
including a range and dishes for the
kitchen.
From it's inception this club has
been a leading factor in the towns
social life, for while administered
by the joint Legion-AuXiliary COM
mittee, it is open to the public and
is known at "The American Legion
Community Club" The club is used
as a meeting place for both the
Legion and the Auxiliary. The rooms
are open daily from one until eleven |
o'clock, and are in charge of matrons.
Games. cards and dancing are indul- !
ged in, smoking is permitted; and the
thanks of the parents for providing a |
place of recreation for
their sons and daughters are con-
sidered ample reward by the MEM
bers of the committee who made this !
center possible. This plan !
will no doubt be followed by other
posts and their auxiliaries through ,
out the state.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ,3.-Look
out for Germany in the trade war OF
1921. The hand Of the German
trader is beginning to show renewed
cunning in world markets. The bold
plan of German trade kings is to
dump goods at lower prices than
domestic makers can sell them. Cheap
labor makes it possible for Germany
to do this, and her purpose to direct
price-cutting campaign of unpre-
cedented scope in all parts of the
world is plainly revealed by latest
advices to government officials from
trade and fiscal agents abroad.
England is now feeling the force
of this German effort to crowd Brit
ish goods out of British markets.
German commodities in many lines
are being delivered in London and
other English centers at prices CON
siderably lower than the cost of Brit
ish manufacture. Secretary of Com
merce Alexander was informed by
Consul Clairbourne that rare laces
of German origin are being offered
for sale in Nottingham at prices low
err than the cost of manufacture in
that great center of the British lace
industry. German products over
wide range are being sold on British
mark at equally low figures. AS
a result sharp competition is setting
in between the British and German
Prices Below Cost.
The German in many instances
are selling below cost to regain some
of the trade prestige lost by the
war, The drive by the Germans
has become so daring that Colonel
Clairbourne reported that the British
is giving serious consid-
Grafton to a plan to bar certain Ger
man imports until exchange reaches
normal.
Ability of the German manufac-
turers to dump goods elsewhere and
other competing nations is
seen in the fact that German work
men are being paid at the rate of
from $50 to 400 marks week, rang
ing from 81 to Sc in American coin.
Britain plans to protect certain "key"

"The time for toying with sedition
in this vast Empire is passed."
"The law must be vigorously and

"Sedition is being preached

guage," is another of O'Dwyer's as
sertions.
"The agitators with enormous
funds are carrying on their propagan-

"It can be stated with certainty
that the present extremist movement
is heading straight for the disorgani-
cation of trade and commerce and for
the ruin of every British interest. It
is for anarchy and rebellion and the
one way to meet it and break this

"The masses of the Indian 'popula-

his life in India. He was for thirty
years in Begal and is now chairman )
of the East India section of the Lon
don Chamber of Commerce. He says:
"Gandhi and all his kind ought to
have ben put under lock and key long
since. This is not oily my private
opinion of the arch agitator and all
his works; it is the opinion of the
Indian trading community itself.
"The Indian merchant doesn't want
politics that are going to ruin his
business. The Gandhis are out for
nothing but their own hand and the
Indian merchat knows it."

While deti- nite plans for the trip over the harbor and the meeting have not been decided upon, it is believed that these features will be arranged for Saturday afternoon from the fact that the governor will at tend the launching of the Anniston City at Chickasaw at noon. Mrs Kilby will christen the vessel. The official party is expected to reach Mobile early Saturday morning on a special sleeper from An- niston and Montgomery.
 After having breakfast, the party will board the coast guard cutter Comanche and the Messenger. which will take them to Chickasaw.
