RUSSIA BETWEEN

PREVENTION is unnecessary for the
present.
The absence of word showing move
ment into Siberia tends to confirm
reports here yesterday that the
American position had delayed action.
On the other hand, the government
is puzzled at a wireless message
picked up by the American wireless
at Honolulu several days ago. stating
that forty thousand Japanese troops
already had landed in Siberia.
Honolulu merely reported having
caught the flash and the government
has received no confirmation.
From all sides today come reports
of the lethargy among the Russian
peasants in the. face OF the crisis
facing their country.

/ Industrial Situation.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The in
dustrial situation in the United States
is now in a better state than at any
time before the war. the labor depart
ment announced today. Today there
lare only seventy-four labor disputes
and only seventeen of these have
reached the strike stage. Less than
100000 men are involved in these
seventeen and negotiations are under
way to settle all others before they
reached the strike stage.
During the first eleven months OF
this country's participation in the war
April five to March fiye-the depart
ment dealt with S07 disputes which d.
rectly affected 100000 men. OF
these, commissioners of Cancellation
settled 500. The average number in
which conciuators were unsuccessful
were about six cases each month.
The majority Of these controversies
took place during the first six months.
They have been held down to mini
mum in the last three months.
