More Acute,

Industrial Crisis in Russia Becominq
More Acute.
P%etrograd, Russia - The industrial
crisis in Russia is so acute that, ac-
cording to a recent utterance of M.
S~hingaroff, minister of finance, only
a miracle can save the country from
economic ruin. The demands of the
workmen are so enormous, he de-
clares, it seems impossible to keep the
industrial wheels going for any great
length Of time.
The Socialist ministers at a recent
council said the only possibility of
settling the difficulties is 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 a way to
settle the crisis.
