RUSSIAN PEASANTS
SEIZE LANDS OF RICH

London, April 26.-Dispatches from
Petrograd report that the revolution.
airy spirit is manifesting itself in the
rural districts of Russia, bringing the
long standing agrarian troubles to a
head.
Notwithstanding the organization Of
food committees which are doing
their best to make the peasants I'M
derstand that the land question can
not be wisely settled until the con
stituent assembly Is elected, the peas.
ants are inclined to take the matter
into their own hands.
Soldiers visiting their rural homes,
with or without leave, spread the
news Of the revolution and led the
peasants against the land owners.
This is chiefly the case in the Saratov
government, where the people are
often inclined to be turbulent. The
peasants here, after passing fesOlu-
tions OF confiscation, have proceeded
to take possession Of the lands and
drive the land owners away.

MAINTAIN LABOR STANDARD
Defense Council Asks No Change BE
Made Now.

Washington. April 26.-The Council
of National Defense, in a statement to
employers and workers, asks that no
change be made at this critical time
in the standard of labor.
Adjustment may become necessary,
the statement said, and the council
itself may propose notifications. 1t
will not, however, undertake to de-
termine the wage rate sufficient to
maintain the existing standards Of
living.
THAT should be referred to the
mediation agencies of the government
or to such other constituted agencies
as may exist, to the end that such
questions may be adjusted In an order
ly and equitable manner to avoid the
stoppage of industries. vital to the
nation at this critical time"
