EXPERTS
NEEDED IN RUSSIA

Washington. May President
Wilson this week---probably tomor-

vital needs OF new Russia to the Am
erican commission OF railroad ex-
perts which leaves for Petrograd
soon. II Is admitted In government
circles that the situation In Russia Is
still critical and for that reason. II
Is desired that the first OF the two
commissions to Russia leave as quick
ly as possible. The executive COM
mittee, headed by Elihu Root. will
start later.
Pending arrival OF the commission.
the American Federation OF Labor Is
being depended upon to a degree to
keep the laborlng classes properly In
formed as to Americas attitude and
purposes In sending commissions TO
Russia. After a long conference yes
terday with Elihu Root. President
Gompers OF the American Federation
OF Labor, sent cablegram to Petro-
grad. addressed to the working
classes. explaining II is not the pur-
pose OF the United States to inter-
fere, but merely to help In the re-
adjustment OF Russia's internal af-
fairs.
This was done because information
has reached here from Russia that
widespread dissatisfaction has been
aroused In Russia with the election
of Root as chairman. The feeling In
certain quarters against Root has
reached such stage that some Of
the outspoken semi-soclalist friends
and advisers OF President Wilson are
urging that Roots appointment be
reconsldered.
