STRIFE IN RAILROAD CIRCLES
 DISRUPTS THE COUNTRY

Unless the present railroad strike is settled on permanent basis, it will have far-reacn- ing consequences. Both sides showing a to be out of proportion to the importance of the questions at issue To the average person seniority rights mean little, but there is more behind the present warfare in railroad circles than seniority rights even wages.
 The railroad executives and the unions would probably fight to finish, if it were not for government interference, because the executives see an opportunity to break down the power of union labor, while the unions realize that their organization is at stake Thus far, the railroads seem to be getting the better of the struggle but the influence of the government andtthe weight of public sentl- mnt will be too great for either side to make a conclusive test of its strength. The rail roads might win and the strikers might win, transportation facilities to be hampered, with the danger of widespread suffering. The strike has already cost the country millions of dollars, a great part of which did not come out of the pockets of either the railroad owners or the strikers.
 Since it is evident that compromise will have to be made, it should be the kind that will endure and not be simply lul before another storm. We don't want and don't need government operation of railroads, neither do we want perpetual strife between railroad ex- ecutives and their workers. An agreement to abide by the decisions of the railroad labor board seems to be the only solution of the rail- road problem that will maintain peace, but it has doubtful value long there is no au- rulings.

Russian Commissars

Copenhagen, Feb ga Danish
fnancier with knowledge of Rus
sian conditions says that between 2OO,-
100000 and 100000 900 kronen are de-
posted in Swedish banks in the names
of various Russian commissars.
He adds that any money deposited
in the name of any Russian commits

He'll adds that any money depos-
tied in the name of any Russian gov
ernment is liable to sequestration by
states with monetary claims against
Russia and it is therefore necessary
to have the money deposited in the
names Of commissars.
The financier also asserts that still

American School in Shanghai

Shanghai, Dec. 18.-(By MaiD.-
Plans for the first units of an Am
erican school that is to be built at
Shanghai are in the hands of archi-
tects and building work is to be
started on site that has been ac-
quired in coming months. This has
been made possible as the result of
a campaign for funds that was made
in the International Settlement in
October and by which approximately
taels 100000 were raised.
What has been known as the Am
erican school of Shanghai is an in.
stitution that was started some ten
years ago by several missionary fam
lies. In the period that it has been
in operation this school has kept
pace with the swift growth of the
American community in Shanghai
and in recent years has been made
luately housed in a group Of dwell
ings. In the school year that recently
begun the enrolment touched the rec
ord mark of 2S5 pupils. The new
school will be the outcome of the eff
forts of public spirited American res
idents and it is to be governed by a
board of trustees representing both
missionary and commercial interests

Marketing

An article relative to the club mar
kets in South Carolina appeared in
the January issue Of the Woman's
Home Companion. This article ex-
acted wide interest as its evidenced
by the fact that the home demonstra-
ton department Of Winthrop College
received letters from twenty one diff
ferent states and in q good many in
stances several letters from the same
state. Some of these letters came
from home demonstration agents,
some from the presidents of federated
clubs, civic leagues and other club
leaders and some from farm women.
In every instance information in re-
gard 10 the organization plans of the
South Carolina club markets was eag-
erly sought. Truly our fame has gone
abroad
We as n state are very proud of
the success of these markets and the
result can hardly be foretoli. Aside
from the money which is being put

state the permanent improvement of

Hostility to Foreign Relief

Moscow, Feb. 24.-Among the old
time Russian bourgeoisie there is a
decided hostility to foreign relief
work. The general opinion among
the anti-Bolshevists of the more in
telligent classes is that foreign re-
lief will lengthen the life of the
Bolshevist regime and they are so
bitter against the Communists that
they express desire to starve and
let all Russians starve rather than
have the present government
strengthened
The old bourgeoisie in Russia, for
the most part, are apparently as ir-
reconcilable as the groups of old-time
Russians in Paris and other capitals.
But among the peasants, the folks
in the Volga who are actually get
ting the food, there is decidedly
different feeling. They appreciate
the American generosity and express
their thanks in unstinted terms.

System of Narrow
Gague Roads

Buenos Aires, Feb. 23.-Patagonia,
that far-away region stretching out
for hundreds of miles in southern Ar
gentina, may be linked with what is
now the thickly settled section of the
country if Presiden Yrigoyen and
government officials are able to carry
out their plans for constructing a
system of light, narrow gauge rail
ways connecting with the present
railroad system.
The plan is to begin as soon as
possible the work of constructing
lines totaling 622 milese.
At the present time Patagonia is
linked with Buenos Aires only by ir-
regular steamers, and the ranchers
throughout the region have great diff
ficulty in getting their products to
market.
A large part of the region is more
or less barren, and much that is fer
tile is not yet settled on account of
the difficulty Of transportation. Pat
agonia produces wool, meat, some
grain and other agricultural products
and is said TO have a great potential

Egypt Declares Boycott
On English Goods

Alexandria, Egypt, Feb. 23.-Ir
declaring a boycott against all goods
, Of English manufacture, tha Egyp.
tians have adopted the tactics of the
Nationalists Of India. They have
heard that the Indians have been sue
cnssful in their attempt to b1ycott
British goods and are cndeavoring
touse tn same means to bring the
British government to terms.
AS yet the extent of the boycott is
not cicar. However, many Egyptian
merchants are now refusing to buy
English goods and statesmen calling
on Egyptian customers are prompt
~ told that he wishes no quot atoms
on such merchandise.
Bat the great majority of import
crS and exporters are foreigner who
desire to continue to buy and sell in
the best markets
If the Egyptians arc able to hold
together on the boycott program and
force the importers to no longer deal
in English piece goods, iron and steel
products, the result may be serious
for English factories in Lane ishire
and Birmingham.
British banks are included in the
boycott 1t is stated that consider
able sums Of Nancy have been with
drawn from English banks in Egypt
and placed in other foreign banks.
School boys have boycottcd the
schools and the native bar association
voted to suspend all work.
IT has been proposed also TO re
strict the cultivation of Egyptian cot
ton, which would be of interest to
the cotton growers of the United
States. 1t has even been suggested
that the Egyptians should refuse to
export onions to England which now
takes so per cent Of the Egyptian
crop
Certain members ofi the Effendi
class, Egyptians of leisure, have an
nounced that they would cease to
drink English whiskey and refuse to
wear short-cropped mustachcs as the
English do. Various other boycotting
