UNSETTLED CONDITIONS
ON INDIAN RAILWAYS

CALCUTTA, May 15--Some dis
orders have resulted from the
strike of employees OF the East In
dian railway which began Febru-
airy p in consequence of a disa-
greenent over wages, The strik-
ers at Anasol burned the temper
airy quarters occupied by the
workers there and this started d
fracas between the workers and
the strikers, two of whom were
injured. Magistrates at Alfalfa
bad and Dhanbad nave prohibited
gatherings of more than 10 men
because the strikers were holding
mass meetings and intimidating
the employees who wanted to
work.
More than half the Calcutta
suburban trains, which usually
carried about 10000 passengers
each way daily, have been discon-
tinued owing to the strike.
The secretary Of the Indian La
Dor Association has called for
conference of railway delegates to
be held at Anasol to discuss terms
of settlement which have been OF
feIed by the East Indian Railway.

BIGGEST FARMERS
WEIGHT THEIR MILK

BURLINGTON, May 15-Fre-
quent complaints are voiced by
producers who ship milk to city
distributors because Of the dispali-
ty between their figures on the
quantity of milk shipped and
those of the dealers on the guam
tity received says Professor II. b.
Ellenberger of the University of
Vermont and State Agricultural
College at Burlington. In order
to locate the cause of complaint
by studying the actual loss be-
tween the country shipping point
and the city plant the United
States Department of Agriculture
made an investigation on the Bal
timore market. Records kept on
more than LOO cans showed that
the loss between the country sta
ton and the city plant was less
than l per cent. The loss on
trains, probably due to spilling,
was only 0.19 per cent; and from
the city railroad platform to the
plant 1t was 0.55 per cent.
However, it was found that
when the milk was weighed in the
city plant there was a shortage Of
2.56 per cent on the amount shin
ped according to can measure in
the country. Of this shortage, 0.7l
per cent was due to actual losses,
while 182 per cent was the DIFF
ference between can measure and
weight. This is easily accounted
for by the fact that cans become
dented and battered, which de-
creases their holding capacity.

Many people are teaching their chill
dren the Importance Of saving money
by opening savings accounts for them
in our savings department, and then
encouraging the regular saving Of
small amounts.
In many instances we have on our

If your boy or girl does not now have

accumulate they are deposited so that
they will earn interest.
