SIDED TRYING TO
DEVELOP CHOSEN
RELATION WITH II. S.
Stockholm, June 30. The con
scious drive to develop closer
and more friendly relations be
tween Sweden and the United
States was emphasized as the
celebration here of the anniver
sary of the Sweden America
Foundation when 200 Americans!
and Swedes exchanged fecilita
tions upon the progress made in
this movement. Efforts to make
Americans and Swedes better
acquainted with one another
have !een in progress for three
years and now are about to cul
minate in the establishment of
the high -power radio station on
the west coast of Sweden by
which direct communication with
America will be attained for -the
first time in history. The Sweden-America
Foundation led the
movement for the construction
of this station but its main func
tion is tc promote the exchange
of shorlarships between the two
countries.
To show how the two countries
i-re being brought closer togeth
er it was pointed out at the cele
b ration that 13 Swedish students
will spend this academic year in
American institutions of " learn
ing while 10 American students
will .study in Sweden.
Attention was also called to
ihe increased accommodation for
tr-u-el between Sweden and
America which will be provided
by the addition of another big
passenger vessel to a line plying
directly between Swedish and
American ports.
American motion pictures are;
more popular m Sweden than
are those of any other country
except Sweden itself while Swed
ish film which only a few years
asrowere unknown in the Unit
ed States are now said to be
saining popularity there.

FOUR O'CLOCK EDITION
ONLY AGENCY WHICH CAN
AVOID STRIKE OF RAIL
ROAD EMPLOYEES.
(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO, ILL., June 30.
The eyes of the nation cen
tered today on the Railroad
Labor Board as the only vis
ible agency to avoid a nation-wide
strike of shopmen
authorized to begin tomor
row morning.
Even as reports arrive
that the shopmen are prepar
ing to quit jobs intimations
of settlement resulting in or
ders countermanding th
j strike call were heard.
. .
Chicago, 111., June 30. Rum
ors of a compromise to be sub
mitted by the Labor Board at a
meeting this afternoon had it
that the railroads; agree to abol
ish the system of farming out
work to contractors, one of the
issues in the strike referendum
and controversy in which the
Board has ruled against several
of the roads. With this conces
sion of the carriers as a partial
victory for the unions, their lead
ers were said to be manifesting
a -disposition to cancel tomor
row 's strike order and accept
the wage reduction.
Chicago, 111., June 30. The as
surance of the railroads and the
employees that they will abide
by the law and orders of the
United States Labor Board was
the basis which the Federal body
pinned its Hopes of throttling
the railroad strike.

RUSSIAN ORTHODOX
ZED
Moscow, June 30. The great
Russian Orthodox church, which
lor centuries was probably the
most important social factor and
one of the most important politi
cally in Russian life, seems to
have gone to pieces itself, rather
than to have had any effect upon
the Bolshevik government, in its
first direct conflict with the So
viet regime.
Whatever may have been thi
underlying purpose of the Cora
muntst government in directing
the requisition of church treas"
ures for relief of the famine suf
irers, the requisition itself has
succeeded in splitting the church.
Scores, of priests are under ar
rest and revolutionary tribunaK

resentment on the part of the
parishoners. PatiarcH Ti'kon,
the head of, the church, abdicat

civil courts on the charge of op
posing the requisition. One of
tlie raei he suggested as his
posssible isuccessor, the Metro
politan Benjamin, of Pertograd,
is also io be put on trial, and in
the meantime the control of
church affairs has been turned
over to a group known popularly
as the "red clergy."
This group, pledged to simplify

government already has taken
over a number of churches. It
is headed by Bishop Antonin, of
Moscow, who early in the con
flict that developed over the re
quisition of treasures, voln nteer-
; ert to assist the Soviet govern-
ment. Now Antonin is planning
to secure close cooperation be-
j tween church and state bv
? pointment in the Russian cabinet I
ap-
plr
! ot a commissar for church
af-
; lairs.
The actual value of church
.
trea:'1lref;: ot Russia probably was
seve"al hundred million dollars,
but the requisitioners obtained
but a smaU proportion of this
amount. They secured tons ot
silver, much gold, and thousands
ot precious stones, but for every
diamond studded mitre, the re
quisition ers found one or two
similar articles listed as stolen or
missing. For the theft of these,
and for open agitation against
requisition there is scarcely a
province in Russia where church
men have not been arrested. In
addition to the eight,
priests, one woman and two lay
men sentenced to death at Mos
cow, and the four sentenced at
Shuya, other death sentences are
being imposed. Except at Shuya
however, none has been carried
out, and it is generally believed
in Moscow that most of these
convicted will be pardoned or re
ceive reduced sentences. General
Brussiioff, one of the heroes of
the Russian war against Germany
and Austria, has interceded for
his daughter-in-law Mrs. Barbara
Ivanova Brussiioff, the woman
sentenced to death in the Mos
cow trial.
