FAMINE IS DUE IN SIBERIA

RAILWAY MEN FOR ANARCHY
Revolutionary Theory Impregnates Re
cent Congress Of Railroad Workers.

Paris Aug. L-At a time when the in
ternational situation renders union among
all French citizens desirable the signs Of
class hatred shown by the delegates OF the
Railway Servants Congress in Paris form
a far from satisfactory element in the ma
tional affairs. There is, Of course, nothing
new or particularly remarkable about dis
sensions among French trade union dele
gates, who, a. American trade unionists
found out long ago, are much more inter
ested in fighting among themselves than in
improving the material position Of wage
earners. The disqu!eting part Of the bust
ness Is that, though the congress passed a
resolution against sabotage or wlful
damage, about 90 per cent Of the delegates
voted on the side of the "saboteurs." while
others, who had been instructed 20 go
against the revolutionaries, failed 10 vote
at all. for fear, no doubt OF reprisals.
one is consequently driven TO the conclu-
sion that among the railway workers OF
France there is a strong minority which
approves, or at least tolerates, train wreck
ing and similar outrages Should another
conflict occur tomorrow IL can only be
anticipated that a still worse outbreak Of
hdIldEts d. tho EAliFLAolc
delicately call throwing trains of the
line, will come. Ii is their way of terror
izing the moneyed class, as represented by
the railway company.
The railway men Of France undoubtedly
are becoming more and more impregnated
with the revolutionary theory that force
is the only effective means of obtaining a
better share Of this worlds goods for the
working man. Those delegates who now
form the least advanced section OF the con-
gress we're considered the most revolu-
tionary few years ago. The movement is
all toward violence and anarchy.
In the mean time there is an irreconcil-
able difference OF opinion as to whether
labor can lose or gain by political action In
alliance with the Socialist party. At pres
ent this alliance Is In favor with the ma
jority. a motion 10 this effect having been
voted in the congress.

SINISTER MAY RESIGN
Persian Treasurer General Won't

APPOINTMENT OBJECTED TO
Great Britain Forced to Stand by

Teheran. Persia. Aug. 19-W. Morgan
Shuster, Of Washington, authorizes the
statement that he is prepared to resign az
Treasurer General Of the Persian govern
ment. as the Anglo Russian action regard
ing his appointment Of Major c. b. stokes
as head OF the treasury gendarmerie has
made the effective occupation OF his own
post impossible.
Mr.. Shuster. who Teorganized the Philip
pine customs service and revised the Phlllp-
pine tariff law headed commission OF hNe
Americans engaged by the Persian govern
ment to rehabllitate the finances Of Persia
The commission arrived in Teheran last
May. and the National Council two days
later adopted the proposal Of the Minister
OF Finance investing Mr. Shuster with the
most extensive powers for the control OF
Of the finances of the country. Mr.. Sinister
early met some obstacles. The Russian
Minister objected to the payment OF Rus
sian coupons and fixed charges on the GUS
toms through the new Treasurer General
A day later Count Won Quadt, the German
Minister, addressed q note to the Persian
government protesting against the. payment
Of the subvention to the German hospital
In Teheran through Mr.. Shuster.
: The final difficulty came when Mr. Shus-
ter appointed Major Stokes, the British
military attache at Teheran. at the head
OF the treasury gendarmerie. the organize
ton OF which the American insisted was
imperative II Persia was TO be saved from
bankruptcy. Russia objected to Stokes
operating in northern Persia, in the sphere
OF Russian influence, and was sustained
by Great Britain.
All hope Of settlement Of differences
dlsap peared to-day. when both Russia and
Great Britain informed Persia that the ap-
pointment Of Stokes was not admissible by
virtue Of the Anglo Russian agreement re-
garGing Persian affairs. Russia was aware
that her insistence would involve Mr.. Shus-
ter's resignation. Great Britain had ex-
hibited a desire to support the American,
but felt obliged 10 accept the Russian point
Of view. The Russian government has
never concealed its objection to Americans
being employed by this government.
There is no confirmation OF the report
that the ex-Shsh. Mohammed Ali Mira,
who Is at the head OF an invading force
has been sssassinated.

gard TO a newly elected Belgian Socialist
Senator. This Senator, who appears TO be
an extremist found IL out OF keeping with
his advanced" ideas 10 wear the official
uniform OF the members OF the upper
house when invited 10 an official function.
"a Uniform" he exclaimed; this is not in
conformity with sound democratic princi-
pies"
Being invited TO an Official dinner at the
palace, the senator declared that he would
either wear evening clothes or decline to
attend He was careful. however hrst 20
inquire OF the grand marshal whether this
dress would be admissible. and was told
that so great was the esteem OF King AL
bert for his talents that he would be well
coined whatever his attire.
Accordingly the Senator accepted the
royal invitation. and arrived at the palace
in evening dress without the least dscora-
ton. He alighted, however. from
