Living Costs
Increase in Vienna

Vienna, Feb. 14.--Living costs in
Vienna increased "a per cent between
January l and 10, according to of
fetal figures, and some articles rose
above world prices.
Apparently the announced determi-
nation Of the finance minister, DR..
Guerthler, that he will at least force
all government monopoly prices to
world parity is extending itself auto
matically throughout business.
The newspapers say that suitings,
coffee, flour, coal, furs and stockings
are now above New York prices and
that meal in an ordinary middle or
lower class restaurant here costs more
than it does there. Good tailors de-
mand from eli to els sterling for a
suit or overcoat.
The ump in prices that set in just
before the holidays continues. 1t
gravely affected the Christmas trade
and many shops are still stocked with
the seasons goods. Customers are few
and the rising prices have materially
thinned out foreigners drawn here by
cheap living or for speculative buying
The best illustration of the cha
otic state Of affairs is found in auto
mobile cost. A six cylinder car of the
type that in America sells at from
about $4,000 to $4,000 could have been
bought here in the summer for So 2,4OO.
The same car was offered this week
at a price in kronen equivalent to
$4,000.
The government is resorting to ev-
cry expediency to raise money to
meet its increasing cost. A form of
treasury script known as kassen-
scheme up to denomination of 100000
kronen is now in circulation to offset
the scarcity of regular currency but
is expected to be retired when the new
$4,000 kronen notes are ready for is
sue. The refusal of many merchants
to accept the script caused further
confusion in the generally confused
state of business.
Industries have been badly hit by
the increasing cost of production, par
ticularly those which must import
most of their raw materials, so that
many factories are reducing their pay
rolls and thus throwing the discharged
men back on government out of work
dole and subsidized bread.

Two Bright Spots
In Soviet Regime

London, Feb. 1.-two bright
spots have been found in the Soviet
regime in Russia by a commission
sent to that country by the Health
Commission Of the League of Ma
tions.
These spots are the provisions
made for taking care of children and
the attention paid to scientific re-
search.
The commission found that, de-
spite all difficulties, the Russian chill
dren apparently were being taken
care of in comprehensive way and
that the present regime has done it's
utmost to obtain proper conditions
for the development of the child. 1t
adds, however, that sin view of the
difficult state of things which at
present exists in Russia, the custom
has grown up of voluntarily abandon
ing the child to the care of the state"
Despite. all obstacles, it was found
that scientific studies in behalf of
public health were pursued with the
utmost ZEAL
"In MoSe6w alone" the report
states, there were IL municipal bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratories, while in the
Moscow district there were 3O."
The League Commission found the
central public health administration
in the hands of fully competent medi-
cal officers.
1t found also that the difficulty of
railroad transport in Russia has tend
ed to limit it's cholera and typhus
epidemic. If the railway traffic had
been normal, the commission said, the
cholera would have spread westward
The commission declared that there
was no doubt that thefamine and
spread of epidemics were related one
to another. Cholera" it states,
Seems to have been almost entirely
limited to the famine district, while
typhus is mainly restricted to the
same district"
The commission suggested that the
Russian government conclude n sani-
tary convention and an anti-epidemic
agreement with adjoining countries.
The Peoples Health Commissary ex-
pressed sits readiness to do so and
was particularly anxious to make
such an agreement first of all with
Poland.

German Competition
In Tombstone Business

Aberdeen, Stockholm, Feb. IA
German competition Is even cutting
into the tombstone business and
thereby affecting the granite trade
which is one Of Aberdeen's leading
industries.
Large English cities are reported
to be buying tombstones and ever
war memorials from Germany AZ
rates that are substantially cheaper
than Aberdeen granite firms can pro.
duce them while paying presen.
wages.
American wholesale agents who
once bought large quantities of Alb
erdeen granite also are reported to
have purchased $4,000 worth of
headstones from Germany, these be-
ing manufactured from Scandinavian
granite.
In consequence there has been a
great slump in orders received here
for tombstones and mortuary me-
MORALS. Many Aberdeen granite
firms have notified their workmen of
an impending cut in wages.

Means to Prevent
Railroad Strikes

London, Feb. 13.-Railway officials
of Great Britain hope that at last
they have found means of prevent.
ing strikes. Elaborate machinery
has just been devised with that enc
in view.
This includes a series of joint com.
mittees and councils leading up tc
central railway councils for each rail
road.
1t will work this way. When dis.
pute arises in one locality it will be
referred to local committee. If thu
committee fail to agree, the question
then may be referred by either side
to central railway council. If this
in turn fail, the dispute goes before
the council for the whole railroad
Failure of this council to end tht
dispute will send it automatically t.
the Central Wages Board.
The scheme was adopted after long
negotiations between managers ot
the railways and representatives ot
the three unions of railway men.
Leaders of the unions say this ma
"hinery is as elaborate as human in
genuity can devise.

New Editor Assumes Duties

Boston, Mass, Feb. 14.-Willis j.
Abbot, newly elected editor of The
Christian Science Monitor at the con-
clusion of difficulties over control of
the Christian Science periodicals, is
an American newspaper man of long
experience.
Active in national politics ant.
prominent as a writer from Washing
tn on political topics, he is also a
member of the Authors League of
America. Patriotic themes have
largely interested him as an author.
1t is 80 years ago this year that
the Monitors new editor first came
into prominence in the newspaper
world as managing editor of the old
Chicago Times. Going to New York
a few years later, he served for va
rious periods as writing editor of
The New York Journal, chief eIi-
torial writer of The New York Am
erican, and writing editor Of The New
York Sun. Recently he has been
oIeii correspondent lOI OIIe VI IDe I'D
tional wceklics.
Taking an active interest in poll
tics, Mr.. Abbot in 1893 directed as
chairman the Henry George cam
paign committee in New York, and
was manager Of the Democratic ma
tional press bureau in the presiden-
tial campaigns of 1900 and 1908.

Wage Scale Committee
Insists on Present Prices

indianapolis, Feb. 1.-THE wage
scale committee report tothe United
Mine Workers convention declares op-
position in reduction Of mining prices
and insists that present basic wage
schedules be maintained.
indianapolis, Ind, Feb. lS.-De-
mands for increased wages, backed by
a formal declaration favoring a strike
of half-million coal miners, will be
considered by the special convention
CT the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, which opens here tomorrow. The
increase to be sought probably will be
20 per cent over present agreements,
all of which expire next March 81.
While the miners course will be
made definite by the convention, their
general policy Is already known as
likewise that of many operators, in
various parts of the country, who not
only ask wage reductions, but also re-
fuse to continue the collective bar
gaining movement with the union.
This refusal, provoking an unprece-
dent situation since the beginning of
collective bargaining in the coal in
dustry, virtually sets the threatened
strike date for April 1, for union CT
fcials pointout that tho absence of a
fixed date for conference with OPP
orators terminates the provisions of
present agreements requiring contin-
ved work pending negotiations over
the wage scale.
For the last week, the presidents of
the 81 districts of the union have been
in conference here formulating a re-
port On the scale demands affecting
the entire soft coal industry, and
previously a convention of the Penn
sylvania anthracite miners declared
for 20 per cent wage advance. The
basic soft coal scale, outlined by the
district presidents report, will be fixed
by the convention, which also will rat
ify or modify the anthracite demands.
Delegates to the convention began
srriving here today, coming from the
90 coal producing states scattered
throughout the country. President
John l.. Lewis and other union officials
predicted that 1900 delegates would
be present tomorrow-the same num-
Der that attending the unions regular
convention last fall, and decided to
postpone framing scale demands until
nearer the time for seeking a new
wage agreement with the operators.
The largest gathering in the world
that is ruled by parliamentary law is
the claim made for the miners con-
vention by Mr.. Lewis, the unions
president and presiding officer at its
meetings. Opportunity is given the
delegates to discuss various proposals
presented, and roll call on any ques-
tion requires more than one days ses-
sion. The cost of holding the conven-
tion is estimated by union officials to
be about 5000 an hour.
Union officials expect that the spe-
cial convention will not be long in
session. The program includes only
the consideration Of the wage scale
and officers feel that no other question
will be permitted to come before the

Resurrects Old Plan
Of Constructing Canal

Jerusalem, Feb. 14.-The Zionist
organization has resurrected the old
plan of constructing a 25O-mile canal
through Palestine as a supplement
to the Suez Canal. This project was
first brought out 25 years ago by the
late Duke of Sutherland but was
buried uhceremoniously by Sultan
Abdul Hamid because of his opposi-
ton to progress.
Traffic through the Suez Canal has
beeonss eesestedJ those days that
it is claimed an alternate canal route
is required. Zionist leaders have be-
come convinced that the ever expand
ing trade relations between CONT
mental Europe and the Far East have
reached such dimensions that a canal
through Palestine would fill an ur-
gent need and reap untold CONNER
cial benefits for Palestine.
AS planned by F. A. Maier, of Hol-
land, it's ardent supported, the canal
would be divided into two sections,
one of which would extend from Hal
ia on the Mediterranean to Afuleh,
on the Lake of Tiberias. or Sea of
Galilee.
Then there would be an interven-
ing part to be formed by proposed
Jordan 4 e to extend from the Lake
of Tiberias toward the Dead Sea.
This wouldibe filled with Mediterran-
can sea water. Having crossed the
Dead Sea the canal would begin again
at Arabah at the foot of that Sea
and extend to Akabah at the head of
the Gulf of Akabah, giving access to
the Red Seq
While the ,ailding of such a canal
would nesessitate the submergence
of considerable tract of fertile land
as we'll as few towns and villages,
(along the Jordan), its champions
claim that the advantages would far
outbalance the loss.
1t is claimed that the proposed Jor-
dan lake would increase the humidity
of al Palestine which now suffers
from excessive heat and dryness, thus
improving the climate as we'll as the
vegetation. Also, it is asserted, the
Jordan valley and the desert lying to
the east with the prairics south of
Houran, owing to the increased area
of water, would become great centers
for colonization and development.
Together with these climatic bene-
fits must he reckoned the commercial
possibilities in the scheme. Haifa
might become a second Port Said, a
touching place to ships of all ma
tions. Raw materials from Euror
and America so much needed for The
building up of industrial enterprises
m Palestine and which now are be-
ing held back due to scarcity of call
;ng ships, would begin to flow more
freely.
Thus, it Is claimed, there would
be opened up to the residents of Pal
estine great Industrial opportunities.

Many Working Days Lost
On Account Labor Disputes

London, Feb. 14.-About 86,OOO,O0O
working days were lost as the result
If labor disputes in the United King
dom last year, says the Labor Ca
zette. This is the greatest loss of
working time from that cause ever
recorded in the British Isles and is
more than three times that of last
year. The number of workers in.
volved was about 100000.
This compares with loss of 27,-
100000 working hours in 1920 when
about 100000 workers were in
volved in labor disputes.

y man from Spariarturg told us
the other day that there was consid-
cradle excitement in that county over
the prospective coming Of the boil
wccvil there this year. Of course the
boil wevil will be there this year and
in considerable numbers, for he trav-
els northeast at the rate of 65 miles
"a year. As sure as the boil weevil
hit Union County last year just IA
sure will he arrive in Spartanburg
County-al! over it this year He will
not probably do a great amount Of
damage in Spartanburg County this
year, even as the damage was not so
great in Union County last year. I'm
ion County may expect n hard battle
with Mr.. Boil Weevil this year, as
Spartanburg County may expect a
hard battle next year. This is why
we have So persistently urged the es-
tablishment of potato drying houses,
the raising of food and feed stuffs and
the establishment of a cannery here.
We must make beginning; why wait
until forced to do so? We have passed
the fright stage in this county. We
had that period last year. We are
now getting ready to fight, and to
fight hard. Those who fight will win
even over the boil weevil.
