ROADS T0INSURE THER EMPLOYE Delaware and Hudson Leads in Movement by Group Sys- tem Announced. By the Assoctated Press. NEW YORK, December 31.—Many railroads of the country soon may insure their employes, it was In- dicated after the Delaware and Hudson company announced it had taken out group life and permanent disability insurance for every one who has been on its pay rolls six months or more. YLarge insurance underwriters said that other railroads were negotiating for similar protection for their em- vloyes. Each Delaware and Hudson employe of two years' standlnr was insured for $500, and those in the service six months, but less than two Vears for $250, the company lo pay the entire cost, and the men to select their own beneficlaries. System of Increases. At death the insurance will be paid In a lump sum, and to permanently or totally disabled workers in month- ly installments. A plap by which the workers banded in clas groups could increase the mount to a maximum of 00 each. the company to pay part the additional premiuc and the men the remainder, was also announced. In addition, the company said it had arranged for the workers to taks out “at exceedingly low rates” insurance against accidents not coverel by the workmen's compensation laws, 1oss Gf work through sickness and also un- employment. No medical examination is to be required. Employes leaving the ser- vice for any reason can exchange their certificates without medical ex- amination for policies of the same amounts, paying the regular rates for their ages at the time of sub- stitution. Groups of employes, consisting of not less than thpee-fourths of those in any one class, who desire insur- ance above $500, must apply for it before March 31 next. For each ad- ditional $1,000 the insured employe must pay 60 cents a month, the com- pany paying the premium in excess of this amount. Sickness and Accidents. Sfokness insurance and accident insurance are to be borne entirely by the policy holder applying for it, the insurance to be paid benefici- arfes for six months at $15 a week. the sickness premium being $1.26 a month, and accident insurance, 24 cents a month. “The compan; said the announce- ment, which was signed by President . F. Loree, 11 undertake directly to insure employes against unem- ployment resulting from dismissal for any cause, providing payments of $15 a week for six weeks, or for so much of that time as a discharged employe may be unable to find em- ployment, conditioned upon each em- ploye having subscribed for and con- tributed toward the cost of at least two or three forms of insurance pro- vided under the group plan. “This provision for unemployment insurance is prompted by the desire of the company to provide continued employment under conditions as favorable as possible, to promote greater ease in conditions of employ- ment by freeing the employe from anxiety and to secure and maintain the most highly successful operation of the property, which is obtainable only through interested co-operation.” 50,000 RADIOS TO HEAR NEW YEAR GREETING Minister to Speak and Choir to Sing Into Broadcasting Radi- phone in New York. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 31.—"Q. S. T—Q. S. T."—in radio parlance, “everybody listen—followed by the tones of a bell striking the seconds that mark the passing of 1921 and the voice of a minister invoking God's blessing on the new year, will float through the air and into the ears of more than 50,000 amateur radio operators in the vicinity of New York at midnight, December 31. From station 2-BAK, located at Tar- rytown, N. Y., Rev. Lucas Boeve will speak by .means of a broadcasting radiaphone to one of the largest au- diences that ever listened to a min- ister. An appropriate prayer, a brief address and seasonable songs by a selected choir will help to usher in the new year. At other broadcasting stations in and around New York similar_pro- grams have been announced. Radio operators on ships far out at sea and stations inland as far west as the Pacific coast will be In tune witi those of the Atlantic seaboard. A leading radio expert here says if the feeble energies of each individual station that will plerce the air when 1922 arrives could be combined, there ‘would be power enough to run a saw- milL LEAVES TO ASSUME POST AS CHURCH PATRIARCH By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 31.—The Most Rev. Meletlos Metaxakis, ecu- menical patriarch-elect of the Eastern Orthodox Church, boarded the liner Olympic today, bound for Constanti- nople, where he will assume the du- ties to which he was elected early in December. He obtained a passport for Great Britain, where he will spend a short time and probably visit the Bishop of London, who is sald to be interested in the subject of inter- communion with the orthodox church. “1 am afraid I will never see these hospitable shores again,” he said. “I have received a great vision in the ten months I spent here. I shall leave here loving America and Americans, and realizing what an enormous part you play in the reconstruction of the ‘world.” ‘The Eastern Orthodox Church claims Jurisdiction over 120,000,000 persons, 3,000,000 in the United States. Short- ly after the election Mr. Valakoa, secretary to the patriarch-elect, is- sued a statement saying that the Rev. Mr. Metaxakis “is convinced that the union between the Eastern Orthodox and the Aglican Episcopal churches can be realized at once, Inasmuch as there are now no essential differences in doctrine and practice between the two.” —_— 21 PERSONS ESCAPE. Fire in Tenement House Believed Due to Bomb Explosion. ROCHESTER, N. Y., December 31.— The lives of twenty-one persons were endangered in a tenement house fire, ‘which followed a mysterious explosion. Anthony Scalia, who occupied the second story of the three-story build- ing, was awakened by the explosion, which was believed by the police to have been caused by a bomb. He car- ried his wife and two children to the street in their night clothing. The temperature was but a few degrees above zero. Policemen assisted other occupants of the building to safety. A man, giving his name as Frank Scarto, was found loitering near the scene and was arrested on a charge of vagrancy.

The first vessel to carry grain for famine relief in Russia purchased from the congressional appropriation of $20,000,000 will sall from this country today with 240,000 bushels, Secretary Hoover said in a letter last night to Senator Kenyon of Iowa. Mr. Hoover's letter was in answer to an inquiry from Senator Kenyon as to the purchasing of foodstuffs for Russian rellef, and it described the plan of operation by which all the grain will be purchased in this coun- try and transported to Russia in American ships without any overhead expense, through the co-operation of the American Relief Administration. The letter was accompanied by a copy of an executive order by Presi- dent Harding, creating a purchasing commission for Russian relief, which of Secretary Hoover, chair- James P.

LUXURIES ENIOYED BY SOVIET LEADERS American Relief Experiences Told—Starving People Largely in Interior. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 31.—The communists in Moscow and Petrograd are reveling in the luxuries_.of life, while starvation is taking heavy toll in the interior districts and heaps of dead babies remain unburied, Carl E. Floete, the American Relief Adminis- tration’s representative in the district of Pugatchov, declared. He has just returned to this country. Lenin rode around Moscow in a lux- urious automobile, he declared, and the women's display of jewelry and expensive furs outshone anything seen in any other city. The guard of 600 soldiers around the Kremlin com- prised the best fed ever seen there. Mr. Floeto drew a startling con- trast of conditions among the starv- ing population in the interior of Rus- sia. No Time to Bury Dead. “They don’t have time to bury the dead. and they haven't the strength if they had the time,” he declared. “They stack ‘em up. Forty is the most I ever saw in one pile—and they were babies. But I don’t believe they have got to cannibalism yet, except perhaps in some of the remote coun- try districts.” The relief worker said he had fed about 50,000 in Pugatchov, formely called Nicolaiev. “I believe they are feeding 200.000 he said, “but it's only a drop in the bucket. The whole country 18 starving to feed the 600,000 com- munists who are running it. There is plenty food, the finest flour and the most deliclous pastry you can get anywhere in Moscow and Petrograd.” People Fiithy and Ragged. “And dirty,” Mr. Floete said of the people. “Filthy and ragged. They haven't any soap and they can’t wash. The children come straggling in along the roads; hardly able to crawl. We gathered them up and put them in the refugee houses and fed them. Some of them lived and some of them died. We just had to do the best we could—fee them and hope they would live,” Mr. Floete said the Russian rail- roads were in good condition and statements that food could not be dis- tributed because the transportation system had broken down were un- founded. “The raflroads run and the trains get there,” he added, “and the tele- graph is working all right. The com- munists keep up the lines of com- munication so they can bring the sup- plies there are into the cities for themselves.” RADICALS SPLIT BY WAR, SAYS NEW YORK SPEAKER League for Industrial Democracy Hears of New Blood to Present Economic Facts. NEW YORK, December 31.—The war has split the radicals, and the “old guard” looks to new blood from college ranks to present economic facts to the people. This was the statement made by Norman Thomas, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the League for Industrial Democracy, at that body’'s annual conference at the Civil Club, at- tended by representatives of many eastern colleges. Radicals had split, not only over the ethics of war, declared the speak- er, but also over the league of na- tions and the soviet theories. Asserting that the whole disarma- ment situation was filled with insin- cerity, as he sald was evidenced “by the readiness of this government to wage war on the coal miners of West Virginia,” he scoffed at the protest be- ing made against the use of certain modern weapons, declaring that the knights of old must have considered the introduction of gunpowder just as dastardly. He praised the agricultural bloc in Congress as being economic rather than political. —————e SOVIETS HIT REVOLTERS. Heavy Cannonading and Troop Con- centration in East Karelia. BY HAL OFLAHERTY. (By Cable to The Star and the Chicago Da News. Copyright, 1921.) o HELSINGFORS, Finland, December {31L.—Heavy troop concentration along the northern section of East Ka- relia, accompanied by five _hours of cannonading, are interpreted here as the soviets’ first operations against the revolting Karelians, who fol- lowed up their victory at Repla by clearing the entire Porajervi district to the northward. If the bolsheviki are able to move their light artillery over the frozen roads it is only a mere matter of time until the poorly equipped Karellan troops are wiped out. —_— HAWAII'S SUGAR YIELD. Total for 1920-21, 539,196 Tons, ~ Lowest in Ten Years: HONOLULU, T. H., December 8 (by mail).—The sukar production of the Hawalian Islands for the crop year beginning September 30, 1920, and ended September 30, 1921, totaled only 539,196 tons, the lowest in the past ten years, E. Faxon Bishop, retiring president of the Hawaitan Sugar Planters’ Association, told the annual meeting of the organization here. “Shortage and delay in harvesting are due to the shortage of labor, both for harvesting and other operations,” his report said. “The outstanding feature of the year's work has been the shortage and underefficiency of labor, not only affecting the 1921 crop, but having its baneful influence also on planting, progress and rotation of future crops. How serious will be the effect on future crops remains to be seen. “The price of raw sugar in 1921 also has been disastrously low. The upheaval in the market has resulted in a situation little short of cheotic, not only in 'Hawaill, but in every cane-growing country of the world.* ' THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1921 CHRISTAN SUENCE IChurch News, Activities and Services RECEVER POSSBLE Court Will Act Unless Agree- ment Reached by Trustees and Directors. By the Associated Press. A BOSTON, December 31.—Judge Cros- by of the supreme court announced late yesterday that unless the trus- tees of the Christian Science Publish- ing Soclety and the directors of the First Church of Christ, Sclentist, agreed by next Tuesday upon a new trustee to succeed Lemont Rowlands, whose removal by the directors was upheld by the court recently, he would appolnt a temporary recelver for the society. “ The recelver, he said, would not necessarily be of the Christian Science faith, but would be a person in whom the court could repose confidence to manage the soclety wisely and for the best interest of the trust created by the late Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy. Announcement Follows Hearing. The announcement was made at the close of a hearing on the validity of the directors’ action earlier in the day in announcing the removal of the two remaining (rustees, Herbert W. Eustace and Paul Harvey. The trus- tees maintained that inasmuch as they had previously glven their resig- nations to the court the directors no longer had jurisdiction. The directors asked the court to appoint William P. McKenzie of Cambridge, George Wendell Adams of Boston and James E. Patten of Boston as trustees. The court also ruled that John V. Dittemore, who claims that he was illegally removed from the board of directors by his fellow members, and whose bill ‘in equity seeking to com- pel them to recognize him as a mem- ber of the board is pending in the supreme court, might take part in a conference over the selection of a trustee to succeed Rowlands. Asked to Appoint Recefver, Sherman L. Whipple. counsel for the truste ked the court to appoint a receiver to take charge of the pub- lishing society until the court had ap- proved the accounts of Trustees Ku- stace and Harvey, who would then resign and allow the court to name their successors, He said the trustees denied that the removal of Eustace and Harvey by the directors had been effective. ‘but that this action had raised a doubt as to the legal authority of the trustees in_the ad- ministration of their trust. The trus- tees now had in their possession a fund of a quarter of a million dollars, he said, and doubted their right to expend it. Mr. {Whipple sald that pending a hearing on the law and facts involved it was important that the trust fund should be administered by an agent appointed by the court. He said the trustees desired to resign, but would not do so until their accounts had been passed upon by the court. The issue between the directors and the trustees as to finances was com tively slight, he added. and the trus- tees wanted an immediate hearing on the allowance of thetr accounts.

CONDEMNS RAIL MEN. Commerce Commission Reports on Wreck Which Killed 27. Safeguards provided for operation of trains were ‘rendered ineffective by error on the part of the emploves involved, misunderstanding of operat- ing rules nad improper practices,” on December 5, when two Philadelphia and Reading trains met in a head-on collision near Woodmont, Pa., accord- Ing to a report by the Interstate Com- merce Commission. Twenty-seven passengers and employes were killed in the accident and seventy injured. “This accident,” the report said. “was caused by the failure of Con- ductor Evans and Engineman Izekal of train No. 151 to obey train order No. 11, directing them to meet train No. 166 at Bryn Athyn; also by their failure to observe manual block sig- nal rules in leaving Bryn Athyn, with the block signal in the stop position without securing a clearance card. Contributing to this was the failure of the operator at either Bryn Athyn or Churchville, or both, properly to operate the manual block system.” SOVIET TO SEND AGENT. Permission Granted to Supervise Purchase of Grain Here. The soviet government has been granted permission to send a repre- gentative to this country to supervise expenditure of $10,000,000 of former imperial Russian treagury funds for the purchase of grain for famine re- lief, Secretary Hoover sald. The request of the soviet govern- ment that it be permitted to send an agent to this country to check up purchases of famine supplies made with Russian funds was regarded as “reasonable,” Mr. Hoover said, and the soviet government has been 8o in- formed. It was said, however, that the agent would be admitted to this country only for the purpose of su- pervising the purchase of supplies with Russian money. Mr. Hoover said it was probable that the representative, if sent, would be some one connected with the Rus- sian co-operative societies who had experience in the handling of grain and foodstuffs. —_— FARM “BLOC” EXPLAINED. Declared Result of Times by Head of Federation. FARGO, N. D., December 31.—James Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, declared in an address before the annual con- vention of the state federation that the agricultural “bloc” in"Congress is a result of the times. “It was organized ” President How- ard said, “as a crops party group to secure for agriculture some of the legislation necessary to agriculture’'s very life. It succeeded. The last Congress passed more legislation of interest to agriculture than any Con- gress in our history.” A cut of from 10 to 15 per cent in the wheat acreage of North Dakota next year was recommended by the federation in a resolution adopted at the close of its gession last night, CHURCHESTOSEE THEOLDYEARUT Watch Night Services, With Variety of Exercises, Plan- * ned for Tonight.
