BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 20.— Trade with Russia, that magnet which bas drawn business men from every S | part of the world to the seaports near &) | the borders of Russia, is now actually under way. . | Nearly two years have elapsed since M. Litvinov first opened his parleys with Capt. James O'Grady, M. P., to 5 | bring about the commercial relations 3 | which are now just showing signs of life. Heavy freights are moving eastward; involving real money, and | not shyster paper, and cargoes of hides, flax and hemp are arriving in German and Danish ports, and space is being chartered to carry forthcom- ing shipments from Copenhagen and Stettin. * Boats Leave Stockholm. Two boats loaded with material for Russia have left Stockholm. One car- ried 200 tons of lead and telephone material, and the other carried 135 tons, consisting of lead, scales, metal sheets and motors. These cargoes lalone are estimated to be worth near- 1y 1,000.000 kroner (normally $268,- 000). The heaviest shipments for Russia are leaving German ports, where, owing to the shortage of boats, the Germans use steel barges, towed by small tugs. Although the shipments from Russia are still insignificant, many signs 3l | point to unusual activity in Moscow. | The Russian economic council has re- quested the former owners of big wool factories in Kuprianov and Jela- gin to resume charge, with the right to dismiss the workmen now em- ployed and engage others. Similar offers have been made to other man- tufacturers. Foreseeing the necessity of closer commercial communication with the western powers, Lenin has ordered that, beginning immediatdly, tele- graphic communication be established with all the border states and that regular commercial traffic be resumed to enable dealers to consummate quick sales. As soon as the private owners get back into the Russian factories they will begin ordering raw materials which, it is believed, will react immediately upon buying in Scandinavia and Germany. Graft Still Prevails. 3| These indications of a revival of | | trade with Russia are pleasant to the men who have been waiting patiently in every Baltic port for more than | two years. Those, however, who hoped | the Russian business never would g back to the old, graft methods ar i | S5 | 2 | | sorely disappointdd.

Before the expiration of this time it i8*ex- pected a new wage scale, embodying a_compromise between the demands of the union and the terms of the employing companies, will be per. fected. The agreement includes a stipulation that all strikebreakers employed during the strike will b replaced immediately by union men. The conflict arose over the annul- | ment of wage contracts between the | employing companies and the mar: time union, the companies insisting that these contracts be replaced by a system of individual understand- ings. So serfous did the situation become that a delegation went to Mexico City to confer with President Obregon and Gen. Calles, secretary of the interior. It was upon the initiative of these officials that the tentative agreement was reported. COL. FOLTZ RELIEVED. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., June 21.— Col. Frederick S.
