Government Conciliatory
Toward Striking Workmen

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 9-It is re-
ported differences have arisen between
Governor General Trepoff and NJ. Yerm-
oIoff. the minister of agriculture.
General II poff ordered the minister
of agricultu.c to visit him to confer
with him regarding the Institute of
Mining and Forestry, which is under
the supervision of the ministry of ag-
rieulture.
NJ. YermoIon repea tedly refused to &C.
knowledge Trepon as his superior.
whereupon Trepon complained to the
Gar.
His majesty supported Yermoloff
The latter thereupon seized this op-
rortnnity to explain to his majesty
that Trepen's regime was most Inpopu-
lar and decidedly dangerous 70 the dyr-
asIy.
Other ministers supported YarmoIon's 3
statements
Moderate Reforms Granted.
N. Witte. the president of the council
of ministers. 1t is learned. is now push
ing moderate reforms eTlergeticaIIy.
The last meeting of the council dis
cussed religious tolerance toward the
unorthodot. sects IN Russia. 1t was de-
cided that tolerance should be shown
especially oward the sect known as the
Cid Believers.
This Is a decided step in the opposite
direction from that previously pursued
by the government.
Even the metropolitan. Antonious, and
NJ Sab1eT. WhO Is the assistant OF Nj.
Pobiedonotseff, prOcurator Of the Holy
Synod. supported this plan Of tolerance.
The question as to the amount of toll
erdnce toward other sccts will be dis
Cussed at the next sitting of the coun-
Gil.
Conciliating WoEkmen.
The governments attitude toward the
workmen is daily becoming more con-
eiliatory.
Another meeting between the manu-
facturers and the minister OF finance
was held today. at which the manu-
facturers declared they would reject the
worlzTnen $ demands, unconditionaIIy
The minister of finance, TO their utter
surprise. urged them to be reasonable
and make whatever concessions were
possible. He announced that legisla-

This is the official position OF the two
electric car companies In tie District of

Capital Traction Company. this morn

git our cars through the shops We viii
equip them with yestibuled fronts.
George H. Harries. vice president OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. could not be seen today. but
other officials of the road stated that
ultimately they would extend vestibuled
cars to ali of their lines. AT present
they operate closed cars on several
lines.
For the last two or three years" one
official said, we have been purchasing
vestibuled cars, and our policy will be
to add them as We buy new equipment.
Question of Old Cars.
The officials old not state whether the
company would put yestibules on the
cars now III operation. and they would
not commit themselves on this point.
At the present time the East Capitol
street line. the Ninth street line, and
the Anacostia line use open cars. and it
would be many years before new equip
ment could be purchased for all these
systems.
James F. Oyster, president OF the Busi-
ness Mems Association, is heartily II
accord with the movement started by
The Times for vestibuletl cars on all
lines in the District of Columbia In
speaking of the subject today tc
e.9;H
Tomorrow afternoon at the meeting
of the board OF directors of the Busi-
ness Mems Association I shall recon-
mend tie appointment of committee
to wait upon the two street railway COM
panies and urge that they put vestibuIes
on their ears. In my opinion, if the mat
ter Is put 10 Mr.. Dunlop and General
Harries in the right light they Will be
only too glad to grant the wishes of
the people.
"a Splendid Work"
I think The Times is doing Il splendid
work in advocating this matter. From
financial standpoint I think the car
companies should be only too willing
TO put vestibules upon all their cars.
It would insure them Il better class OF
motormen, and the men would be more
regular In their duties. Just 10 think
of q man facing ali Of the terrible winds
and storms we have had this winter
with no protection whatever. 1t Is but
atural that many Of the motormen
have shirked their duty at times. An
other thing which vestib1Ile cars would
do would be to make the inside of the
cars warmer, and be more comfortable
for the passengers. and l also believe
that vestibules would preserve the cars.
I shall earnestly urge the appoint
Gnent of a strong committee to appear
before General HarrIes and President
Dunlop and place the matter before
them. We have the backing of almost
every man and woman who rides on
street cars, and believe that a forcefuI
presentation in this way will do a great
deal Of good

men shoppers, and the merchants who
so out of their way to make their
stores attractive are the ones who suf-
fer the most by the graft.
There are lots of women who never
think OF writing letters anywhere hut
at their favorite department. store.
They may never spend cent in that
particular store, but II is their favor
tic because 1t keeps such nice paper
and the womens waiting room Is SO
cory and comfortable. There, in an
easy chair, before mahogany desk,
with all the dainty accessories that a
woman needs for correspondence, the
woman tramp whites. away hour after
hour writing to her friends, adding up
her bills and making out Shipping lists.
There is something attractive in the
luxury that the stores provide-an ali;
of sumptuousness in the surroundings
that the average woman of the middle
class misses in her own home.
| I'know OF many women in this town
who are unattached. so to speak, who
either have little income, enough to
live on, or who make their living In
one way or another, who never think
OF inviting their friends to visit then,
in their own homes, or rather at theii
own rooms. for this Gloss of people gen.
orally live In rooms. Instead they
make arrangements to meet them al

"a more liberal spirit prevails, as is
illustrated by the reply of President
Bataoka's denial of the statement that
the war was one between q heather
and a Christian Nation. There are
Christian members of the Japanese
Parliament, and the Boys High School
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
Tokyo. with 600 students, Is partly
supported by the Government and IL
part of the national school system.
This modern system of tolerance
las made it possible for the protestant
Episcopal Churches of America and
England, known is Japan as the Holy
Catholic Church, to thrive with II
churches in Tokyo. There are 10000
I.rotestants in the city.
Another evidence of modern Japan
Is seen in the taking up OF mercantile
pursuits by the better classes of the
Japanese. In former days :he mer-
chants ranked below the artisan in
the rank of professions and occupa.
tons. Only the lowest classes in the
commercial cities engaged in trade.
There was prejudice against It, AS
a result the Japanese merchant was
looked upon throughout Europe as q
man without commercial honor.
