If Sir Henry could make an honest pound out of Russian oil he would not! give a hang if it were stolen from the sacred sepulchre. Saar tat) Mee ee proof that Soviet indus- try is advancing rapidly can be seen from the report sent out by the Soviet Union Information Bureau. The monthly oil output is 20 per cent above the average monthly out- put for 1913 and the export average is almost two and a half times the figure for 1913.

JOINT BOARD AND FUR TRIM BOSSES TO FORM BUREAU Formation of a Labor Bureau for fur workers was decided upon last night at a meeting of the Conference Committees of the New York Joint Board, Furriers’ Union and the Fur | Trimming Manufacturers. According to Ben Gold, manager of the Furriers’ Joint Board, both the manufacturers and the union will co- operate in organizing this new bureau and it is believed that it will operate to the best interests of both groups. Won't Crowd Market. The Labor Bureau will inaugurate a thorough classification of the craft and skill of the fur workers, and this will do away with the haphazard sys- tem of employment that has existed in the trade*heretofore. The estab- lishment of such a bureau will also do away, to a great extent, with the crowding of the fur market by those |who are seeking employment, and who endeavor to meet prospective employers—or their representatives —in the streets of the market. This system has for a long time been con- sidered an evil and both tne Joint Dentamaro, who testified at the Dedham trial, had been asked by the governor to come from New York and tell him his story.
