New York, Feb. 9.--Delegates rep

600 Russians in various parts of the
United States, arose and vigorously ap-
plauded the playing of "the Star
Spangled Banner" at the opening here
today of the first All-Russian civic
convention of America. The funeral
hymn of the Russian revolution and
the >Marseillaise also evoked demon

Expressing belief that the Bolshe-

tempt to create disturbances at this
convention, several speakers urged
that none but delegates with credent-

the majority of those sitting in the gall

man Matrin declared, however that
he thought it unwise to place any re-

Count Leo Tolsti, who is a delegate to
the convention, engaged in an argu-

to facilitate settlement on public lands
when each honorably discharged SOL
dier was given 'land scrip" which
entitled him to choose 100 acres of
any public lands not occupied. In
stead OF inducing settlement and col

porations to obtain possession, of pub
lie resources. This method, or any
thing similar to it, which would play
into the hands Of speculation, says the
secretary of labor, must be avoided.
Favors Colonization.
The secretary OF labor favors a
colonization policy. Plans to reclaim
cut-over forest lands, swamp lands
and other public areas, have been
worked out in considerable detail One
plan is for a colony to work 100,0 900
acres of productive forest land. BY
properly timbering this land fifty
years would be required to take off
the mature timber, by the end of
which time new timber would take its
place. The yield from such a farm
would provide COnLlIluOuS employ
ment for more than $50 men, who,
with their families, would make the
population about 500. Half would
Nbe employed in a sawmill and half in
the chopping operations
The Matanuska coal fields and the
Nrich valleys which lie on all sides OF
sthem will open new industrial en-
pire to the workers.
The department of labor mentions
the Crosser colonization bill as a bill
which embodied the principles which
must characterize legislation which is
to care for the k-to-the-lander,
This legislation recognizes the settler
lis too weak in an economic sense to
ggo on the land alone and unaided and
work out his own salvation. The land
must be prepared for him and the
government must help him and his
fellow colonsts to get necessary
buildings, tools and stock with which
to begin life in new country.

Washington, Feb. 9.-m reporting

house interstate commerce committee
had amended the measure so as to
vest final rate making authority in

tent law the Interstate Commerce com
mission could not make such neces-
sary changes IN rates as unified war

To amend the statutes so as to pro-
vide a competitive rate making

added that the president is re.
sponsible for the financial results of
operating these great govern1lent
carrier systems with gross revenues
approximating 100000. The
president must be given powers COM
mensurate with his responsibility.
The bill, therefore, leaves rates and
rate-making undisturbed, except as
the president otherwise orders"
The report discussed each section
of the measure and pointed out that ii
was distinctly war emergency legisla-
ton intended to meet the essential
needs growing out of federal control
and that it should not be regarded as
a bill either for ownership or control
of railroads.
Authority Is Needed.
The main purposes of the measure,
the report said, are to provide n
method of just compensation, "as
probably will result in an agreement
between the roads and the govern
ment determinative of all rights" and
TO confer authority for financing dur
ing federal control.
Before filing the report Chairman
Sims submitted it to Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Anderson, who
as the representative of Director Cen

Chairman Sims plans to bring up
the bill in the house Monday and
hopes to secure prompt consideration.
