DOUMA' 5 CONTROL
Of MACHINERY Of
ADMINISTRATION

st. Petersburg July 12.-The leaders of
the groups forming the majority in the
douma have held a series OF important
conferences. at which IL was decided that
complete control of the administrative
machinery OF the empire must be given
to those who are given political office.
Deputy Jilkin OF Saratoff. chairman of
the peasant and labor combination in the
douma, assured the parliamentary COM
mittee of the Constitutional Democrats
that his party would accord confidence
in a Constitutional Democratic ministry
II members OF the latter party felt tusti-
fed In taking office.
This assurance was given i'm exchange
for an official declaration OF the Constitu-
tional Democrats. communicated by NJ
Mi,iukoff. that the party would adhere
entirely 10 the program II published prior
to the election OF the douma.
This program makes two demands,
which, the party holds. must be conceded
before anything else is considered The
first demand declares that before mutual
confidence can exist between the cZar and
the people complete amnesty must be
adopted. The second declares that a set
tlement of the land problem can only be
effected on the basis OF compulsory ex-
propriatlon Unless both these demands
are conceded the Constitutional Demo
Gratis will continue 70 make an aggres-
slve opposition.
In the discussion preceding the adoption
OF this policy the speakers explained that
their political action was directed toward
guiding the revolutionary movement into
parliamentary channels. They denied that
the struggle should he left TO be fought
out solely by the Black and Red sea par
ties.
II Is stated in the lobhies Of the douma
that the governments last alternative. II
II fails to induce the douma TO come 10
its assistance, is to revive ex-Minister OF
Interior Durnovo's plan OF drawing of
all tfie military forces whose loyalty IL
reliable from the rest OF the empire TO
protect the lines OF communication be-
tween ST. Petersburg and Moscow, 81
Petersburg and Warsaw and 81. Peters
burg and German frontier, leaving the
rest OF the country in anarchy.
The plan Is already beginning TO be put
I'm operation As a result, deputations OF
land owners have arrived In st. Peters-
burg from the provinces OF Voronez ku-
rak. Tula, saratoff and simbirsk to ask
for armed protection. Their appeal Is
foredoomed TO failure. as the bureaucratic
hierarchy blnmes the land-owning classes
for not coming 10 it's rescue.

ARMOR PLATE
TRUST bees FOR
CONSIDERATION

Washington. July 14--One result OF the
action OF the Midvale Steel company OF
Philadelphia In greatly undertaking the
so-called armor plate trust OF the con-
tract for furnishing the armor plate for
the battleships South Carolina and Mchi-
gan has been TO produce a tremendous
howl from the Bethlehem Steel company
and the Carnegie Steel company, which
are reputed TO compose the trust.
The Midvale company bid was in the
aggregate $4,000 lower than that OF the
Carnegie company and more than a quar-
ter OF million dollars lower than the
bid Of the Bethlehem company.
Rear Admiral Mason OF the ordnance
department Of the navy had scarcely
reached his office yesterday when he was
sought out by delegation representing
the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies.
appealing TO be let In on at least a part
OF the contract
In the delegation which saw the rear
admiral were Charles NJ Schwab. Presi-
dent Johnson OF the Bethlehem company
and Vice President Snyder OF the same
company.
II was represented 10 the department
by the representatives OF the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies that unless
these concerns get part OF the armor
plate contracts II will be necessary for
their armor plate factories TO go out OF
business
The delegation further represented that
the government Is their only purchaser.
and the representation was made that
they had been led. upon the good faith
and promise OF the government 10 con-
tinue the purchase Of armor plate. 10 ex-
pend several million dollars In the con-
struction OF their plants.
This was done years ago when armor
plate was first used upon warships: and
IL Is alleged that they were given 10 un-
derstand by the late William G. Whitney,
when he was secretary OF the navy and
the first armored vessels were built for
the American navy, that the govern
ment would continue TO use the product
OF these plants
The annealing ovens and other parts Of
these plants were especially constructed
for the purpose OF making armor plate
and are practically worthless for any
thing else.
They contend also that they have edu-
Gated TO a high degree a large number
OF workmen in the processes OF making
Of armor plate and that these men will
all be thrown out OF work unless these
companies get part Of the contract for
the armor for the South Carolina and
Michigan.
Last year the Midvale company under
bid it's competitors. but got only one
third OF the contract on the ground that
Il had not the capacity 10 supply the en-
tire demand fast enough for the govern
ment. Since that time It's capacity has
been greatly enlarged. and II Is said TO
be In a position TO supply the whole
amount as fast as the government wants
it--in fact. faster than II has before been
furnished.
What action the navy department will
take in view of the representations made
is problematical.
