NEW YORK, July 15, (By MaiD.- Russia, as now constituted, is as little likely to make a separate peace as IS the United States, in the opinion of C.. H. Boynton, of New York, president of the American-RuSSian Chamber of Commerce. Mir. Boynton, who IS now in Petrograd has forwarded to the or ganization, of which he is president, a statement on the conditions in Russia, in which he presents an optimistic view of the Russian outlook. Wher- ever separate peace has been mention ed, it has been howled down with in- dignation, he writes.
 "That one may have fair and just appreciation of the events which have taken and are yet to take place in Rus sia, it is necessary to understand the psychology of the situation. A nation under a rule of absolute autocracy for centuries suddenly found itself an ab solute democracy. Almost over night autocratic Russia became the most lib- eral democracy in the world"
 "This was not planned nor even or ganized revolution. It was a spOnta- neouS outburSt of dissatisfaction and resentment against existing rule so unanimous that an Empire became a democracy with the least bloodShed that ever overturned a long establish ed reign. Keep straight before you the fact that this has been a political revolution. The problems now con fronting the Government are both So- cial and political. Social evolution must follow political revolution. In a nation so huge and of such diversified interests, time, courage and patience must be allowed for clear understand ing and adjustment. The marvel Is that with restraint and control abso- lutely removed, disorder has been so inconsequential
 "The commercial and business Op- portunitieS lie in every branch of in- dustry and trade, just as much as con- fronted the United States one hundred years ago. War has created a scarcity of labor and the wars necessities practically monopolize transportation facilities. Thus immediate industrial operations would encounter almost in- surmountable obstacles and heavy f. nancial commitments for new enter prises would not be justitiable at this time. Merchants everywhere seek American goods and orders are the easiset of things to secure, but deliv- cries are impossible, except for such goods as the government permits for the requirements of the war. There is a worlds shortage of tonnage and no private enterprise or opportunity can be permitted to occupy one yard of space that energetic prosecution of the war requires.
 Russia has few ports, and the full transportation facilities from them are more than necessary for handling ab solutely essential freight. In refusing to permit private enterprises to hin- der the wars requirements, Americans must recognize that Russia is taking

officials OF the Nonpartisan league
this noon at the latter's headquarters.
The discussion, which Nonpartisan
leaders said was devoted entirely to
the subject of "Co-operation"-and
which the Trades and Labor represen-
tatives in attendance admit was more
specific in it's application-arose, it is
understood, from the fact that Mayor
Van Lear of Minneapolis was not put
on the program.
No Politicians on Program.
League officials say no public Off
Gals or politicians were put on the
program except those necessary for

A delegation of the Minneapolis
men called on Mayor Van Lear this
noon, it is understood, to talk over
the fact that he was not invited to
speak.
Joseph Gilbert represented the Non
partisan league at the discussion.
Organized labor was represented on

Will organized labor in Minnesota

A BREACH OF FAITH.
From the Black Diamond.

The Lane-Peabody plan provides
that the maximum commission to the
jobber shall be twenty-five cents ton.
Franklin county, Illinois, operators
have taken the stand that this is to
be deducted from the maximum price
of $2.75 on steam Goals and $3.50 on
prepared Goals.
The common-and proper-interpre-
tation is that this is to be added to the
maximum prices in each district.
Acting under this provision, some
coal mining companies are reorganiz.
ing their selling departments into job
bling houses. These jObbing houses
are taking the additional twenty-five
cents for themselves. They are then
saying to the regularly established
jobberS "Do business for nothing or
retire"
And the jobbers reply:
1--WE refuse to be drawn out of bus
mess by an agreement which has no
force In law. We will pay the maxi
mum price plus the Jobbers' commits.
sion II we must, but we will add
something to it."
Such an action will, of course,
break down the agreement, in three
days, The LanePeabody plan will go
to pieces on that rock, But this will
not mean that prices will go back up
where they were. 1t will mean mere
ly that Congress will stop in as 1t is
all too anxious to do and regulate
coal with an iron hand,
Thus you may get twenty-five cents
a ton more for a week, Then you will
get hell for years to come. That is the
plain English Of 1t.
You know as we'll as anyone that
this line Of action is subterfuge. 1t
is an open violation Of the spirit of
the agreement 1t is immoral.
Stop 1t. In the name of common
sense, stop it.
