point for day or two.
Men Poorly Equipped.
The points where he has worked
In this capacity are tapped by many
OF the southern and eastern rail-
road systems. He says that the men
who are manning the yards and shops
as strikebreakers, in place of the
striking Shopmen, are demoralized
ana inefficient, and that the men in
large measure employed are not
equipped to do the work of ma
chinists or the other duties of shop
men or yardmen.
Joined d party of fifty men in
this city to take the places of the
striking railroad shopmen. The men
are sent to all points where most
for machinistS is 20 cents an hour,
ten hours pay for eight hours work,
and time and a half for overtime,
free board, lodging, tobacco, movies
and other amusements. which are

Helpers are given 40 cents an hour,
with ten hours pay for eight hours

machinistS. There is bonus of 81 for
tht first fifteen days and 81 from that
on until the strike is ended. with
priority rights for all strikebreakers.
When you sign up for work the agents
never take the trouble to ask if you
are machinist or know anything of
railroad work. That seems to be i'm

Under these conditions the old-time
hobo has disappeared. That class of
wandering willies are now in clover,

The cheap lodging houses in the big
cities are deserted. These fellows are
reaping a rich harvest They sign up
and are sent to, say. California, remain
there a day or two. or until they get a
stake, and then they quit and sign up
with another agent and ride back east

FIRE AT HIsToRIc>wEsT
 CHESTER COUNTRY CLUB

New York. Jan. 2.-Society men and women hurriedly left the ballroom of the historic West Chester Country club this afternoon, foT1red a bucket brigade, and worked for nearly an hour in a~tempera- ture lowering around 10 above zero in an intellectual attempt to save the structure, which was burned to the ground. Women guests managed, to save tapestries. paint ings and furniture valued at thousands of dollars. The, loss by fire is estimat cd at S25O. 900. ~The clubhouse was a three story frame building.
 Several guests. in their eagerness to help put out the fire. forgot to save their overcoats and wraps. which were destroyed.
 Famed by a strong wind. the flames made great headway. The city .fremen were handicapped because the nearest city hydrant was three-quarters of a mile . away. and inaccessible. while the private fwater supply was totally inadequate. Lines Of hose were stretched to Long Island sound, which the clubhouse over-
 looks, but it WAS low tide and the fire men were unable to pump out good stream of water.
 The West Chester Country club, re- garded as one of the most exclusive in the east, was established in 1S76.t George TowQsend, broker, is president of the club. which includes in its membership William K. Vanderbilt Jr.. Clarence Mac kay. George s. Nichols and Thomas Pot ter, all prominent in New York society.

 A~heavy flood was registered in Gatul~ Lake between 3 o'clock yesterday after noon and S.3o o'clock this morning, Ralph z. Kirkpatrick, in charge of the Meteorological and Photographic Blu reau of the canal reported today. This made it necessary toFopen seven of the spillway gates to let the, water out, de- spite the fact that four gates had been kept open during the last 24 hours. MT Kirkpatrick added that this hase been the heaviesS pressure of water experienc- ed since the opening of the canal.
 The extraordinary volume of water IS attributed to the disturbed weather con ditions that have prevailed in the south ern part of the western hemisphere in the last three weeks, Panama now feel ing the effects Hof the floods and storms that have occurred to the north.

Washington, Jan. 3-O-ntiri1ea up- ward movemeYst of business and the grad ual restoratioh of normal conditions are indicated in the comparison of reports in the last month with those of the ccrre- spending month of 1920 according to the December review of the economic sit uatio niss-ed tonight by the federal re- serve board.
 Net Improvement was found by the board despite the recession of business ac- tivity in December as compared with the same month last year.
 "The holiday trade" the board said, Ifs test of the soundness of the pre- ceding business activity. Reports from the various federal reserve districts. cov- ering over half of the month show that this years demand in the eastern dis tricts has registered an increase running as higheas 10 per cent of that of 1920, While in other districts the situation is pronounced satisfactory"
 Manufactur Ing conditions. however. the board reported. as far from uniform | there bein ga decrease of activity in the ! iron and steel Industry while textiles 1 showed little change from previous months and uncertainty exists as to the future of the clothing industry due to | labor disturbances and the continued de mand of consumers for lower prices.
 Freight rates" the hoard said. con tinue as a disturbing factor due to the belief that reductfans already announc- ed as affecting some commodities may be much more widely extended In the neal future.
 Relatively lower prices for cereals
 and cotton the board continued. hal | discouraged trade in the agfrfcultura districts and also had resulted in rafard ing the process of liquida1inr frozer

 situation during the month of December but the extreme caution Tn rhe extensio
 of hank credits which wasNoreviousiy s notable a chase of our foreign trad still continues. Export figures indicat . a still further decline of activity in sta pies. while imports show an advance. -''Disturbed conditions in various cour

Rates of interest whic : had already made a notable decline du1 | ing the autumn. have tended. on n T whole, stflf further downward. part . owing to the fact that there was no fol | ciEn outlet for our capital"
