According to Representative Flood, chairman of the democratic congressional committee, Representative Fess, the if publican chairman, has claimed gains for the republicans in states where it is physically impossible for them to increase their strength in the house "Mr. Fess says the republican gain 20 members in certain states will result from grins of one mem ber each m Mait Massachusetts, Connecticut, Michigan, Illinois and Nebraska,-' Representative Flood said. "Mr. Fess apparently does not know there are now four republican tnembers of the house from Maine. -- Where would he-make a gain of one member from that state, as he ' predicts? Evidently he is ignorant of the fact that there are now six re- publican -members from Nebraska. IIow could he gain one there, as he asserts ? "Continuing his v'M claim, .

System Carl R Gray, Fresh From 7,500-Mile Swing Around, Declares Adjustment Pe riod Near End. A big business year for 1921, with the period of readjustmenl left be hind, was predicted yesterday by -Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pacific system. Mr. Gray has just returned from a 7,500-mile trip over the ntain lines and branches of the Union Pacific extending clear to Puget Sound, and including Ogden and Denver. "While the Union Pacific has done up to now a peak business, and traf-' fie in October slightly exceeded that of the same month of last year, which was the heaviest ever known. I do. not believe there will be an unusual volume of freight during the next few winter months," said Mr. Gray. "In a period when priced are un certain, business men tend to con fine their purchases to actual neces sities. "In the spring, with most of the readjustments made, business may be expected to put on full steam. "I believe, with the great volume of grain in the west, at the beginning of spring- the railroads will face a large traffic. Car supply conditions are improving,' and therer-is a better return of empties from the east." As evidence of the heavy traffic of the past month, Mr, Gray said that while in October of last year the Un ion Pacific had loaded 730 cars of grain, in the same month this year it had loaded 1,283. The supply of grain cars is in general more closely approximating the demand than for some time, he stated. Greek Republic Hinted At in Speech by Premier Athens, Nov. 2.
