K not been for American relief. There

lief workers, the report states.
Mr. Ylekrey and his associates in-

worse, throughout the Near East to
day than they have been at any time
.since the armistice. This Is attrlhut

people from their ancestral homes In
Central Turkey, the warfare between
Turkish nationalists and the Oreeks,
the cutting off of food supplies from
the north and the Influx of tens of
thousands of Russian, Greek, Jewish

The raid created a great sensation
and there was considerable uneasiness

Million More in Outside Shops.
Washington, April 4. Contracts
with outside locomotive construction
companies during 1920 for the repair
of engines cost the New York Central

same work would have cost in their
own shops, the interstate commerce

however, which also contracted re

in so doing, the commission held, even
though it also Incurred excessive
