RUSSIAN CANhL. SYSTEM MAY BE
 REVIVED AGAIN
Negotiations Reported Com pleted and Loan Secured
 from Scandinavia.

l HELSINGFORS. Jan. 31.-The So lviet government has completed ne
 gotiations, according to reports
 reaching this city for loan from
 Scandinavian banking firms to be used for the extension of what is known as the Marie Canal system. Canals connect tho upper reaches Of the Volga with the Neva, thus mak- ing Petrograd virtually q commercial
 port for Caspian sea trade. A Ger
 man steamer recently demonstrated that ships can pass from Petrograd to the Caspian sea through these
 canals, and the plan is to make them navigable for big river lighters and boats of fair size.
 The amount of the loan has not been made public.
 The steamer that made the passage of the canals and rivers reached Enseli, the Persian port on the Gas plan sea, direct from Hamburg with a cargo of sugar. footwear and sew ing machines. The trip was part of the German plan to regain former shipping influence, and more o< less in the nature of an experiment. The steamer left Hamburg in July passed through the Baltic to Petro- grad, and by the Neva entered Lake Ladoga. Thence she made long Journey through the canals which brought her to Rfbinsk. on the Volga. From that point the Volsa is nayig- able for small vessels. The boat reached Mini Noygorod on October 9, descended the river to Astrakan and proceeded to Enseli.
 Tho trip seems to have proved that the route is satisfactory, as Hamburg company has been organ ized and will build fleet of yes .sels to make regular trips along this route. Tho boats will begin opera tions in the spring of 1923, and will

weeks was 1000 anthracite coal
miners who went out for four days
at the Hudson colliery in Pennsyl
vania. Several thousand former rail-

to their jobs following the strike Of

There is strong sentiment from
the camps of both miners and opera

being heard about an extensive coal
mine strike next spring, and a gen

possible the agreements under which
the coal mines of the nation now
