The orders are not only to meet requirements at home, but come also from the oyerseas Do- minions and foreign countries, and are already 'well ahead of those placed: in recent years. \ The four great British railway companies, the L.N.W.R., G.W.R., L.M.S, and the Southern, have ex- tensive programs mapped out. Be- tween. them they will: build this year: Four hundred and twenty- five engines, ; inclading the most, powerful types in the wor ' i ht Sondred passenger and corridor coaches, restau rant cars, and baggage ears. Twenty-six thousand freight cars and containers of all de scr ns. In 'addition fo. this new building program, the Fhobe will be busy on their usual work of overhaul ing existing rolling stock. - 400 Cars a Week While the railway companies' shops are working at nearly full speed--and some idea of what that means can be seen at the L.N.E.R. works at Darlington, where 400 cars can be turned out in a week-- other great British engineering works are turning out large or- ders for abroad. The export of locomotives for January, 1929, showed a great in- crease. Their total value was £324,- "879, compared with £172,385 for the same month in 1928, and £75,- wi Program of Work Entailed by Orders Received «From All Parts of World by British Engineering Locomotives Ordered. freight cars, and spare parts in January amounted to £723,141. This British rolling stock: was sent to all parts of the world, where it is recognized as the finest work- manship obtainable. A recent, order from the Central Argentine railway for 20 heavy lo- comotives will be carried out by the firm of Armstrong, Whitworth & Co. Ltd., within 34 weeks. These engines, weighing 128 tons each, will be shipped in fully erected condition. They are being built at the Scotswood works, New- castle-upon-Tyne, £29,000 Engines Large contracts havé been plac ed for the Indian railways, and two |of the largest locomotives in the world, outside the United States, will soon be completed at the Man- chester works of Messrs. Beyer, Peacock and Co. for South Africa. They will cost £14,500 each, and will be 50 per cent more powerful than any now running in Europe or South Africa. 3 They represent a triumph of Bri- tish engineering skill. They are 90 feet long. and weigh 220 tons each. They can haul a load of 3, 000 tons up a gradient of 1 in 100. Some of the British railways have placed contracts with other firms. This activity will have a good effect on the British steel market. The Southern Railway will use 70,~ 000 steel sleepers during the year to replace the old wooden sleeper. The Great Western Railway are installing on more than 200 piles of their lines the fool-proof train control system, which has proved so successful.

The men left Killybegs for Easkey, Canty Sligo, in a yawl that had been built: for them in the Industrial Sclhivpl at Killybegs, and soon after a thick fog settled down over the sea, which caused them to lose their bearings. 5 'When they reached Innismurry the men had lad neither food nor drink for more than 24 hours and were thoroughly exhausted, but they re- covered after being cared for" by the islanders. REDS IN INDIA London.--Earl Wintertor stated in the House of Commons yeéster- day that the general strike in the Bombay mills was responsible for three-quarters of the working time lost through industrial dis- putes last year in India, It was beyond doubt that an intelligible part of the dispute was increased by the activities of Com- munist agitators from outside In- dia...

Before the question was put, Colonel Watts-Morgan (Lab. Rhendda En.) said the name was wrongly spelt. Mr. Mardy Jones (Lab., Pontypridd) said there were also two syllables out of order. (Laughter.). The Postmaster-Gen- eral was asked, in replying, to pro- nounce the word, but he said with all this influenza about he had better not attempt it. (Laughter.) Sir R.

At the time of his death Mr, Allery's only income was a small allowance from a syndicate who subseribed £10,000 to further his claim to the huge Angell estate in South London. About a year ago, | it will be recalled, Mr, Allery sud-, denly jumped into the lime-light by seizing two houses in Brixton and der the control of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. self in one of the houses with an assistant and remained there for a' week.. Then, as the result of an application to the Courts by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, he was ordered to leave.

CO-OPERATORS IN BRITAIN ENTER NEWSPAPER FIELD London--The British co-operative movements first venture into news- paper production is foreshadowed, it is said, by the vote of the sharehold- ers of the National Co-operativePub- lishing Society, meeting in Manches- ter and Glasgow, authorizing the di- rectors to purchase for £150,000 the well-know weekly, Reynold's Illus- trated News, and the trade journal, Carpenter and Builder. The decision was taken by a ma- jority of 289 to 125, the voting being as follows: At Manchester, for the purchase 162, against 67; at Glasgow, for 127, against 58. A special general meeting is to be convened later to ratify or disap- prove the vote.

White Slavers London.~More stringent measures to protect English girls from the machinations of white slave agents are being taken by Scotland Yard, This action follows the receipt of confidential reports, some of which have come from the League of Na- tions at Geneva. New officers have -been allocated to watching persons suspected of dealings with keepers of immoral houses. The seaports are under ob- servation, and special warnings are being issued to register 'office pro« prietors who supply servants to ap- parently respectable householders. There are now registered at the Yard the statements of a number of girls--most of them from distressed coal areas--who narrowly escaped the traps of decoyers. "The Sunday News" has already referred at some length to the watch that has been kept over disreputable night clubs. Since the Goddard case this watch has been increased, and the women habitues are under spec- ial observation. More police women in plain clothes are being employed--and, what is more important, the "bullies" who control the girls are being tracked down. Most of them have proved to be aliens, and a number have been deported. There have been several raids in Brixton as well as others in Soho.

Mr. Griffiths, aiter giving docu- mentary cv'dence as to ihe character of the plaintiffs, said that they were at a wmov:2 house on'a certain afterncon, when the operator offered each. of them a aquarette, which they took and smoked. As they walked along thus engaged, they met a preicct of the schoo), fiuncd Bracey, with whom, without further} words, they 'passed the tie of dav." On the following morning, after prayers at the school, | they were asked to remain by the headmaster, whe accused them of smoking on the street. Both lads admitted their guilt. Thereupon, the headmaster said: "It is against the school rules, and I am going to make an example of you and flog you." ; To this both boys objected--Wil- his muscles, so that-it took the. two liams with words and Wright with god | assistant masters to overpower him and place him over the table so that the headmaster could properly wicld the rod. Williams, who made no re- sistance was similarly treated, and then apologized. Wright would not, and showed the court lacerativns on his back and arms, which the mast- ers, in testifying, said had been re- ceived ig his attempt to resist them. All three said that the boys had been warned not to smoke on the street. The father of Wright, who had cau- sed the masters to be summoned, said that he had given his son per- mission to do so. Before dismissing the charges, the magistrate, J. Clegg 'Hill, made a lit- tle speech, sayingi "Both boys knew the rule of the school, There is evi- dence that they" had been warned. Wright deliberately broke the rule of the school 'and led a younger boy astray when he should have. set a bettér example. There is no doubt that Wright assumed a defiant atti- tude."

Certain prominent British motor- car manufacturing companies have been experimenting for several months with crude oil engines for private motoring purposes. "Bound To Come" 3 "The crude oil engine is bound to come into its own," sdid a prom~ inent scientific engineer recently.
