v News that the strike had been

faction by the people of Rock Hill,
-the business interests having lost
thousands qf dollars in trade as a
result of the disagreement at the
mills. .
State indicates that labor Is rapidly
going back .to a pre-war basis.

is the supply of clerical workers.
For some time past there . has been
a .surplus of these men and women,
but since the opening of the colleges
throughout the country many.-boys
and girls" have left their positions to
attend school. This makes room; for
many jobless men ' and ..women1- who
have stepped into the vacancies; For
