Other Parts of Country to
Secure War Materials.
TRANSPORTATION IS BLAMED
Inability of Railroads TO Supply Coal
and Haul Freight Prompts
Action.

WASHINGTON. June II, -- To
check further Industrial congestion
In the already overburdened east the
government has prescribed district
in which 1t will permit no increase
in the volume of war orders nor In
the number of plants handling them
This district includes New Eng,
land, eastern and southern New
York, eastern Pennsylvania to VII,
Transport and Altoona, New Jersey,
Delaware and eastern Maryland, ex-
Guiding Baltimore.
The new policy, announced tonight
by the war industries board and fuel
and railroad administrations. viii
tend to create expansion of indus
tries In the middle west and south
The reason for the action, which
already has been put into effect to
some degree. is primarily the inapiI-
ity OF the railroads to supply coal or
to haul promptly the manufactured
products.
The policy has been under con-
siderat!on since the serious freight
traffic tieup and the coal shortage
last winter.
Officials In charge OF quantity pro-
duction for the government point
ont that the demand for war ma.
terials n actually greater at present
than the capacity OF manufacturing
plants and that consequently a con-
tinual expansion is In progress. II
is this expansion which the govern
ment hopes to promote in the less
congested middle west and south and
TO prevent In the east. To some ex-
tent the execution of the policy will
affect factories through the country.
The labor problem also will be af-
fected. Labor advisers of the gov
ernment had found one Of their
most difficult questions In the lure
of labor to new war Industries in
New England, eastern New York and
Pennsylvania and along the sea-
board through New Jersey, Della
ware and, Maryland Farms In tho
east are almost denuded OF men and
there was n general unsettling OF
labor conditions farther west
So far as the shipyards arc con-
cerned. this situation can not be I'M
proved much by the new policy.
but the government hopes to min
imize labor difficulties in other In
dustries.

Fifteen recruits responded to the
call Of the Second Oklahoma regi-

and accepted for the supply COM
pany that is now being raised in
Tulsa.
The supply company needs men
familiar with horses and automo-
blles as the stable detachment and
motor truck trains Will come under
the care OF the men OF this COM
pany. No trouble Is expected In re-
cruiting the men TO drive and re-
pair the autos, but the horse hostiers
are going to be scarce, according
to the fears OF those In charge Of
recruiting.
The company will probably be re-
cruited far beyond the minimum
strength OF thirty-seven men, The
prospects for recruiting here are
good. as many have inquired about
the company and will Join as soon
AZ they tell their wives and sweet
hearts. The company affords an
opportunity to chauffeurs who are
slated to lose their Jobs under the
work or fight rule. II was also re-

RUSSIAN ACTION
STILL WITHHELD
Despite Rumors, Policy at
Washington Remains
Unchanged.
CADET PARTY ASKS HELP
Appeal for Expeditionary
Force Made by Consti-
tutional Democrats.
B0lSHEVIKl ARE OPPOSED
Reaction Against Huns and
Government May Bring
Nation Back.
B0LSHEvIKl ARE OPPOSED

WASHINGTON, June 11.-There
has been no change in the policy
OF the American government in
dealing with the Russian situation.
In spite OF recurring rumors that
military action in Siberia by the al
lies with American support or APP
proval is imminent it was learned
today that no agreement had been
reached for positive ACTION. The of
ficial view here is that this attitude
must remain unchanged until there
is some further development of great
importance in Russia er,
An authoritative explanation was
given today after the Russian en-
bassy had transmitted to the state
department an appeal to the United
States and the allies to send an ex-
peditionary force to Russia TO repel
the Germans forwarded by the CEN
trail committee of the cadet party.
The committee which speaks for the
Russian constitutional democrat
forces asked that such an expedition
be under international control to
guarantee the rights of it's country.
1t is evident that the Bolsheviki
government is now meeting with
strong opposition, not only from the
old conservative elements in Russia,
but also from certain powerful fac
irons just as inimical to the restora-
ton of the empire as the most pro-
nouRced red Russian. OF these the
cadets or constitutionalists are un-
derstood to be the most in evidence
In the Ukraine technically separ-
ated from Russia by the Brest -Lito-
hA n
completely TO break off the old ties
and there is distinct and powerful
reaction against the German dicta-
torship. The Cossacks are reported
to be ready to overturn the new
government by revolution II not re-
strained by the German army.
The cadet party, as II Is popularity
called. is composed of the constitu-
tional democrats who were first in
power after the overthrow of the
Romanoff dynasty 1t was removed
from power by the bolshevikI.
The message of the constitutional
democrats declares the situation in
which Russia has been placed by the
terms of the rest-Litovsk treaty
only can be ameliorated by the ac-
tive aid of the allies The advance
or the German armies, 1t Is declared,
otherwise can not be halted.
The appearance of n strong allied
force in the east. II is declared. will
have decisive bearing on the is
sues OF the war and on the condl.
ttons of peace.
Success for allied Intervention, the
party says, depends on its form and
II an expedition is sent II tx asked
that every means be taken to safe
guard Russian interests and rights.

ing he would have no opposition,
had not planned n campaign at ALL
this year, but II IL now likely that he
will return to the state and make n

tho attacks OF G6lbreath.
Galbreath asserts a that Senator
Owen. in spite of the fact that he is
man OF influence both In the SEN
ate and at the White House. has not
secured any war contracts for this
state. He charges that the present
incumbent is an aristocrat and
wholly out of tune with the rank
and file of his constituents.
