Chicago, Sept. 24-victor Olander,
head Of the lake seaman's union, and
member Of the Illinois state council
of defense, said today that strike Of
members Of his organisation. Oct. I.
seems inevitable.
He explained that while count Of the
secret referendum vote recently con-
Quoted by mail does not begin until to-
night, It ie an open secret that the men
were practically unanimous In voting
to strike unless the Atlantic agree
ment, to which the federal government
was party, Is extended to the great
lakes.
Able seamen on the great lakes, he
said, are paid SIC month during the
summer. They are asking $s5, but the
ship owners, he said, were willing to
pay only $s5, which he said was the
normal advance on Oct. 1, owing to the
approach Of stormy weather. Naviga-
ton on the great lakes generally closes
about the middle Of December and 1t
is customary to pay,a higher wage for
work during the cold concluding
months Of the season.

Operators Figures
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Washington, Sept. 24.--Governor
Harding today urged a reduction in the
government-hxed coal price for Iowa
at conference with the fuel admin
-istrator, DIX Harry Garfield.
A reduction of 80 to 55 cents a ton
in grades of coal used by private con-
sumers and cut of 70 cents a ton
in steam coal were urged by the gov
ernor.
Governor Harding produced evidence
of Iowa steam coal selling in the last
few weeks for $1.25 ton. The price
has ranged from this figure to $1.75.
The price fixed by the government is
$2.45 a ton, which is more than the
operators themselves have asked.
The price of commercial grades of
coal varies in different districts Of the
state but in each case the governor
showed the government fixed price is
excessive and beyond the. price the op-
orators have asked.
Dr.. Garfield will discuss the matter
further with Governor Harding tomor-
row.
Governor Harding took up with
QNartermasteT General Sharpe the
question Of furnishing sleeping cars
for the remaining National Guard
troops scheduled to leave Iowa for
Deming;' N. M, tomorrow. He urged
that it would be an injustice to the
Iowa troops to- send them on this long
trip. as planned, in day coaches. The
quartermaster general is seeing what
can be done to relieve this situation.

Petrorad, Saturday, Sept. 22-(De-
layed)-The controversy over the
source of the recent Korniloff rebellion
has proved to be the sensation of the
day. Petrograd newspapers publish
columns of revelations and interviews
with the chief actors in the revolt, and
while much Is inexplicable, it Is agreed
that negotiations between Premier
Kerensky and General Korniloff for
the establishment Of strong govern
ment at Petrograd preceded the re-
bellion. The march of General Korni-
lofts troops on the capital is said to
have been part of scheme.
The Russkia Volya says ~the revela-
tions have made an overwhelming i'm
preston on the members OF the gov
ernment who were not initiated into the
plan and that these ministers are
awaiting Premier Kerenskyy's explain
alton.
General Savinkoff. ex-director of the
war department and later commander
Of the Petrograd troops sent against
General Kornilon, declares that he was
dispatched to General Korniloff by
Premier Kefensky, who had resolved to
ask the Russian commander in chief
to send to Petrograd a cavalry corps
and the Savage" division under COM
mAnd of a general other than General
Krymoffr, who was in bad politica! re-
pute. General Korniloff broke the
agreement by sending both Krymof
and the savage division toward the
capital.
