Officials Are Confident That
Russia Viii Fight to the Last

Washington, Aug 24.-The United
States government today extended @
further credit of $l00,00O,00O to Rus
sia. This was Secretary McAdoo 8 ans
wer to gloomy rumors that fear of Rus
sian collapse had created a feeling OF
unrest and lack of confidence in this
country.
Russia S credit is now $275,000, 600
only a beginning of the efforts this
government will make to assist the new
democracy to its feet. Plans for furn-
ishing supplies have been completed.
That Russia will fight on-not col
lapse-was the general official view
here today.
Secretary of State Lansing officially
denied stories of a general pessimism
in government quarters over the Rus
sian situation. He authorized this com
ment:
81 don t think there is any feeling
that Russia is on the verge of a col
lapse. In fact, she is stronger today
than she was a month ago, both from
the general government and military
standpoint. -
The recommendations of the Root
mission, he added, are about to be car
ried out. He confirmed United Press
statements YESTERDAY that American
aid in the way of loan, supplies and
ships, has been agreed upon.
This will have the PROBABLE effect
of composing difficulties, forecast in
recent confidential advices from Am
bassador Francis. This aid is immedi-
ately available as a result of yester-
days cabinet conference.
And though Riga may fall, military
men here in complete touch with the
Russian situation doubt that Germany
can spare sufficient men to make her
drive tell.
Conference May Sessle it
The Francis advices, gathered from
the Russian government pointed to the
possibility of Riga falling and also
to the fact that internal political trou-
bles as well as the military menace,
might force removal of the capital
from PetrOgrad to Moscow.
Today the state department expected
to address note to Minister Teres-
chenko in an encouraging vein.
This message along with the aid
voted, indicated that this government
has confidence in the outcome. So long
as collapse is not certainty, the Unit
ed States stands ready to assist fully
in establishing Russia effective against
Germany.
The Moscow conference this week is
expected to crystalline the political sit

"Steye" Gives Peanut-Stand
Proceeds to Red Cross

Washington, Aug 24.-Up on Pennsyl
vania avenue, at the southwest corner of
the White House grounds, Steve Vasil-
akos and his peanut stand hold forth.
Steve, a burly, fierce-mustached
Greek, stands scowling beside his wall
ing little nickle plated whistle and his
stack of goobers from early morning
until late at night. Just to look at him,
YOU'D think he neither knew nor cared
whether there was a war or not. There
is about him an air of gross CONNER
cialism.
But today, seowling and crusty as
usual, he tackled this sign, daubed with
red paint on white cardboard, over his
stand:
~ give my entire proceeds this week
to the Red Cross. Steve Vasilakos."

From where the former French line

May Move to Moscow


London, Aug. 24-The allies eyes
were turned to Russia again today.
Germany was driving powerfully to-
ward Riga A number of Petrograd dis
patches, admitting considerable ad-
vance in this offensive, suggested the
possibility that the government would
move from Petrograd to Moscow. Pc
trograd is less than four hundred miles
from Riga, and the Baltic seaport is
one of the key cities to the capital. All
Russian advices characterized the front
situation as grave, but not necessarily
without hope.
Sundays conference of all political
factions in Moscok is looked to for en-
ergetie action. Russia whole internal
and military situation will be discuss
ed Military chiefs will be there to re-
port in person. 90 viii all cabinet
heads.
The direct purpose of the gathering
is the formation of coalition govern
ment which will accurately represent
the whole people and which, by this
power, will be able to extend its iron
hand methods to sween out disaffection
in the army as well as home.

each side For years the men have
been seeking the right to belong to
unions and to have arbitration meas

grievances.
Such provision was contained in
the accepted terms. Then men also
sought the reinstatement Of certain

Lawson and McLennan Contest in Refer
endum Election for Presidency

and November 27. Nominations are
made by local unions on printed blanks
between September l and October 8.
John r. Lawson has let his friends
know that he will be a candidate for
president, and it is understood John
McLennan will oppose him in an effort
to be reelected.
Favor Non-Partisan League.
Tellers to canvass the referendum
vote were elected at the convention as
follows: Dan W. Law, Pueblo;
Charles M. Moore and Margaret Han
sen, Denver.
Resolutions were adopted condemn
ing the recently enacted state con-
stabulary law and the industrial COM
mission law, urging unions to ignore
the, latter when negotiating wage
scales.
The Non-Partisan Farmers League
movement in Colorado was given ap-
proval, and affiliated unions urged to
cooperate in establishing this new
party.
After Editor Houston of The Dem
yer Labor Bulletin had asked the con-
vention to receive back any indorse-
ment hitherto given this paper, reso-
luton was adopted that no labor paper
should have the Endorsement of the
Colorado State Federation of Labor.
Only One Constructive Act.
One constructive measure alone was
considered and adopted by the con-
vention. This provides for raising a
fund thru donations to provide for the
education of young men and women of
organized labor families in the state
university. 1t is framed somewhat on
the plan adopted two years ago by
the Wyoming State Federation of La
Dor. 1t provides for twenty such en-
trants of the university each year,
provided the funds are available. Such
students will be loaned sufficient
money to secure a complete education
al course, same to be repaid later
when the graduate enters career.
Supervision of the plan will be thru a
college board of nine, of which three
are to be chosen by the state univer-
sity faculty.
Elect a College Board.
The Federation elected the follow
ing college board: Frank NJ Sloan,
Typographical Union, Pueblo, and
John R. Lawson, United Mine Work
ers, Denver, for terms of six years;
Miss Alice McCabe, Garment Work
ers. Denver, and James Duce, member
of the Miners Union, Boulder, for
terms of four years; W. S. Walton,
City Firemen, Colorado Springs, two
years. The sixth member of the
board is to be selected by railroad or
ganizations.
Funds for the educational depart
ment of the Federation are to be
raised thru donations and assess
ments, and each beneficiary of the
plan is to be allowed about $500 year.
All persons granted such loans must
take out life policies payable to the
board for the amount of the loans
granted. Students receiving such
benefits will not be permitted to join
any fraternity or sorority, without the
consent of the college labor board.

DEATH OF DANTE BARTON

Dante Barton, writer, Investigator,
publicist, died in New York city, Sat
urday, August a, after short illness.
Dante Barton was best known to
the readers of The Denver Labor Bull
letin as the publicity agent of the
committee on industrial relations, a
voluntary association which was in
tended to advance the adoption of the
industrial relations commission.
He was one of the few newspaper
writers who rebelled against the de-
mand of the business interests to con-
troll the editorial policies of leading
newspapers, and that seek, generally
successfully, to distort even the news
stories.
And because he refused to be so
controlled he had found it impossible
to express his uncensored ideas in the
general press of the country; the Ia
Dor unions and other forward looking
bodies of this country recognized their
interest to furnish him means of self
expression.
Dante Barton was closely associat-
ed with Frank P. Walsh and others in
their Investigations and propaganda
that brought about the appointment OF
the industrial relations commissions.
During his useful life he has helped
to turn the light of public knowledge
on many purposely darkened places
In his death we recognize a loss that
we can i'll afford. Too few are the
men who see and know and refuse tc
prostitute their knowledge and ideals
to the masters of the bread.
