RIISS|A FACING
ECONOMIC RUIN
,untJsrRIAL CRISIS Is so ACUTE
THAT ONLY MIRACLE CAN =
SAVE COUNTRY. II
MAY BRING WAR TO A CLOSE
nemands of Workmen So Enormous Il
Seems Impossible to Keep Industrial
Wheels Observation-Disclosures Of FL
nance Speaks.

Petrograd, via LOndon.-The indus
trail crisis in Russia is so acute that
according to a recent utterance of the
Minister of Finance, M. Shingarof
only a miracle can save the country
from economic ruin. The demands OF
the vorkmen were so enormous, he
declared, that it seemed impossible to
keep the industrial wheels going for
any great length of time.
The Socialist ministers at a recent
ministerial council said that the only
possibility they saw of settling the
difficulty was to bring the war to a
close.
Neither the coalition Cabinet nor
the newly appointed Commission to
regulate the difficulties between CAPT.
tai and labor has yet found way to
settle the industrial crisis. The Com
mission is composed of the Ministers
of Finance, trade and industry and
labor, but since there is a wide diver
gence of views between the Minister
of Finance and the new Socialistic
Minister Of Labor, it seems probable
that this Commission will be confront.
ed with the same difficulties that at
tended previous efforts at reconcilia-
ton.
An investigation Of the factory con-
ditions in Petrograd leads to the
alarming, but inevitable, conclusion
that unless the Government soon finds
a means of adjusting the present diff
fculties, most of the industrial enter
prises working for National defense
will be compelled to close within a few
months. An investigation shows that
virtually the same difficulties prevail
in all the big factories in Petrograd
and apparently authenticated reports
from the Moscow, Donets and Ural dis
tricts indicate general disorganization
In many of the factories, the demands
by the wworkmen for increased wages
are actually greater than the entire
profits of the factories under the best
conditions Of production.

HOUSE PASSES FIRST OF
FOOD CONTROL BILLS.
Provides For Survey of Food Supply,
Appropriates S14.77OOOO

Provides For Survey Of Food Supply,
Appropriates $14,770,OOO.
Washington.-The Administration 3
food survey bill, first of the food con-
troll measures, was passed by the
House without a record vote. It ap-
propriates S14,770,000 for an immediate
Investigation of the country's food re-
sources and for measures to stimulate
production. A similar bill is under de-
bate in the Senate.
The Agriculture Department expects
to present fairly accurate estimate
Of food resources within three weeks
after the bill is signed by the Presi-
dent, Secretary Houston said. AS
soon as the measure becomes a law,
the Department will start its $4,000
employees and the 10000 voluntary
crop reporters to work on the inves:i-
cation. The preliminary report to be
made within the three weeks will be
supplemented with monthly reports
and probably by a further complete
report within six months if necessary
Material gathered will be turned
over to Herbert G. Hoover, who was
named as head of the food admins
tration, as soon as the pending regu-
latory food measures becomes law.
In the survey bill, passed virtually
as 1t came from the committee, Miss
Rankin, the woman representative
IRON Montana inserted an amend
ment which would require the Depart
ment of Agriculture to use women in
the survey work whenever practical
DIE An amendment by Representa-
i've Mckenzie of Illinois would make
all persons employed under the bill
liable to military service, and another
would permit citizens to refuse to go
more than 300 miles from their homes
or places of business to testify in a
food inquiry.

United States Government Using Doble
Detroit Steam Power Plants.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an article copied from the Detroit Free
Press of August LIST, 1917. Read it.
The government engineers are not
making any mistakes in our present
war. You can rest assured of that,
when they set aside gasoline and other
sources of power to propel their vehi-
cles it must be for a superior power.
No one has ever denied the superiority
of steam power. The only question was
to obtain the steam in a satisfactory
manner for its different applications.
The General Engineers Company have
perfected steam generator for vehicle
use and is now being used by the gov
eminent as well as the Doble Detroit
Steam Motors Company. 1t is well to
wait for car that has the government
stamp of approval. For further infor-
nation, write THE RITTER AUTOMOBILE
COMPANY, Madison, Wisconsin. Factory
distributors for the Doble Detroit Steam
Car. Local agent will be announced
later.

Auto Speed Laws.

There seems to be a failure on the
part of most automobile drivers to
understand the laws governing the
speed of autos. The law does not say
that man shall drive or even may
drive under all circumstances at the
rate of Is miles an hour in the cities
and Is miles an hour in the country.
1t says that he shall not drive in a
manner or a speed that endangers life
or property and not to exceed Is miles
an hour in cities and villages or rs miles
in the country. A man who drives az
fast as five miles an hour where such
speed endangers life and property ia
just as much subject to arrest and fine
as the man who goes faster.

In getting out paper these days
it is hard to find anything of prime in
terest to write about except war. Of
this great struggle we all have our
theories. With many it is relief to
unload them. But the more one writes
or talks the bigger the subject gets.
The imagination feeds and wakes strong
by exercise. When newspaper writer
completes an article and turns about TO
peruse it, by comparison with the in
rush of new ideas, the article has sunk
into insigniicance. The first impulse is
TO consign the article to the waste
basket, and one is only constrained by
the bald necessity of having something
to fill up the paper with-and there
you are.
Eliot Ewart, designer of the Cen

to Washington by Mr.. Doble at the re-
quest of the ordnance department, and
the presence of certain Engineering
officers of the offices and laborators OF
the General Engineering Company re-
Gently, all taken together, have brought
out the fact that the General Engineer.
ing Company is working on war order.
Absolute secrecy is being maintained
as to the nature Of some new and i'm
portant type of war vehicle that is being

and officials of the company refuse t.

glad to give information, but are pro
hibited from doing so by government
orders. Detroit Free Press.
