"They are fed by France. In ad dition, General Wrangel Is paying them, from the little money he still has about a dollar a month. "Wrangel, who succeded in get ting employment as labor corps in Serbia, and Bulgaria for nearly all his Cossack troops, is trying to get Serbia to receive his Gailipoli Army Corps. Five thousand of them are going to be used by Jugoslavia as a frontier "guard. "As for the other regiments, the government at Belgrade is prepared to offer them Its hospitality if funds are put at its disposal which will cover their upkeep for two years. The Russia Ambassador at Washing ton has still several tens of millions ot dollars, the remains of funds that were sent him from Russia before the Bolshevik coup d'etat, to pay for the orders for war material. ran gel Is making every effort to get the few million dollars necessay for the carrying out of his scheme raised out of these funds and transmitted to the Serbian government. "If he succeeds, what will be the ultimate role of this legion? Will It fight again as an army? Prob ably not. The general opinion in Russia circles is that Bolshevism must go under In an internal con vulsion of the country, and that the tyranny of Bolshevism will be sue ceeded by anarchy. It will be then that elements ot order, framework of administrative and police organ Izatlon will be needed by the new government to restore calm for the convocation of the Constituent As sembly. This is where survivors of the National Russian Army hope to be ot soirvlco to their country." ..MARTIN DEFEATS HERMAN. k KTLAND. Seol. 22. Den- . - ' Martin knocked out Tiny .

RAILROAD MEN PLAN TO FORM BIG ORGANIZATION FROM LOCAL LABOR UNIONS Plans Now Being Made For Big Euture For Purpose of to Consider A Joint meeting of all ot tbe local railroads unions, for tho purpose ot forming a consolidated union to work for the interests of tho rail road workers of this city is being planned for the near future. At the present time there are about ten loc als, each devoted to work In the In- rests of laborers In a particular line of work, but there Is no organ ization to work for the Interests of the railroad men as a whole. Tho engineers, firemen, mechanics. clerks and other departments each have their local unions and are able through the strength of ihelr organ Iza'lons to accomplish much for themselves, hut by combining the ef forts of all and directing tho com bined strength In matters of local importance, it Is felt by the railroad men that they would be able to se cure much better representation than by their present method. It is proposed to call all of the railroad employees togother for a big mass meeting and at this meet- ng choose the officers for the large organization. The principal obstacle at the present time In finding a hall large enough to conduct such a meet ing and it Is probable that It will be necessary to clear the roundhouse for a short tlmo and hold the meet ing there. As there are several hundred rnliroad laborers enrolled in tho local .unions, and all are In terested In this movement for a big organisation nn.-t a lnrge meeting place is necessary. Plans will prnh- nblv be comoloted and the meeting called for Rome time next week. To Eight Auto Freighters Tho efforls of the organization at the present time will be centered In the campaign against auto freighters and jitney busses. The railroad men ore greatly aroused over the compe tition between tho railroads and truck lines and are planning on de voting every energy to putting an end to the handling of freight by auto trucks ln competition with the railroads. Tf rallrond freight busi ness falls off It means thnt the men employed by tbe railroad will have no work during the winter months. and It Is a matter of holding their jobs and keeping up wages with tho railroad laborers, consequently they are devoting Ihelr efforts to putting tho trucks and busses out of busi ness. They believe thnt a consoli dated union would be nhle to do much more than the less powerful Roseburg Scliools Show Steady Growth In Number of I' upils In Attendance The Roseburg schools are showing a very satisfactory growth and this jenrs enrollment Is abonj that or ny former year, according to fig ures compiled by City Superintend-1 int M. S. Ilnmm. At tho beginning of tho second week of school the enrollment Is shown to set a new re- ord Is practically every department The showing for previous years dls- loses a stendy growth with a con stant Increase In attendance except during tho war period. During the year of 1918 tho attendance dropped to a very low figure, particularly In the high school while In the follow ing year tho attendance was also below normal. Lnst year, however. tbe schools were back to a normal basis and this year have shown a marked Improvement. Enrollments tor the past 7 yetirs are lis follow: Diiln Illicit Sclutol Grade Total r.i 1 1 1916 1917 1918 1919 19L'0 275 2.-.0 2!) 5 191 250 (195 r.on . 97 0 , nr.o .11170 . 791 . 904 .1012 .1014 r,9s r,4 S10 SI7 1921 707 Each of the schools of tho city show an Increase (er last year.

At first tbe organization will ap peal to lil merchants to ship their rioight and goods by rail rather than by auto truck. Many merchants have found tho high freight rates very expensive and have been saving mon ?y by shipping ln their merchandise by auto truck from Portland whole sale bouses. In letters sent out by the railroad employes the merchants have been requested to discontinue this practice it being claimed that the loss of patronage and business from the railroad employes would more than offset the small saving made by truck shipments. The lab orers call attention to the fact tha the railroads are heavy tax payers and are under costly regulations which make the higher rates neces sary. To Be Political In addition to waging warfare on the commercial auto vehicles, the or ganization Is Intended to be political. Roseburg Is strongly a railroad town and tho railroad men feel that they should have somo representation. At the present time they have a rail road employee on the city council, this being the first direct representa tion for many years. In the future the railroad men Intend to be more strongly represented ln city and county government and will devote the strength of their main organiza tion to this purpose. There will also be many other matters takon up. It is planned and all matters directly concerning the railroad laborers will be given con sldertlon and handled by this union. BUILDING GOALS The manual training department of the high school has accepted the task of constructing the goals and other equipment necqesary at the football field.
