TCHAPL|N RESIGNS,
 LABOR DISPUTES IN
 MECHANICAL SETTLED

MECHANICAL. Wednesday, Sept. II. -(By the Associated Press) Colonel Tchaplin, leader of the receEt attempt to overturn the provisional government headed by M. Tschaikovsky, in north western Russia, has resigned his po- sition as commander of the Russian forces and has heen-- succeeded by Colonel Ivanoff.
 The labor disputes in Archangel are being rapidly settled. American sol diers who had been operating the street car system have been trans ferred to other duties.
 Allies Assume Direction
 EXCHANGED, Monday 9.-(By the Associated Press)-As a result of an attempt to overthrow the Tchaikovsky government the allied diplomatic and military chiefs today assumed temper ary direction and established a pro- tectorate in the region in the rear of the allied front pending the adjust ment of the political disputes. This decision followed the arrest of NJ. Tschaikovsky and all but two mem- bers of his government early Thurs day by party of conservative officers headed by Colonel Tchaplin, the Rus sian army commander, who sought to establish a new regime.
 Troops Assume Tranquility
 NJ. Tschaikovsky and his ministers were taken on board a ship en route to the Solovetsk monastery. from where- they were returned by order of the allied ambassadors with the ap- proval of Consul General Poole. Mean while the allied forces, including the American troops. are patrolling the city assuring tranquility and a just settlement of all disputes.
 The allied ambassadors had abso- lutely no desire to interfere in internal affairs, but they considered that the Tchaplin party's attempt to establish by stealth, and force to be incompat- ible with the principles for which the allies are fighting.
 Diplomats Take Action
 As soon as he learned Thursday morning of the coup detat. American Ambassador Francis called confer ence of the diplomats and General Poole. with the result that the new government was prohibited from func- tioning and the Tchaikovsky ministers were ordered immediately returned pending an adjustment and the pro- clamation prepared
 MeanhWile, however proclamatiorf by Tchaplin and Ivanoff and Dedus- enko, who were not arrested, and the Tchaikovsky ministers appeared in the streets. These several proclama- tions so confused the people that a second allied decision became neces- sary. Working men and operatives before the allied decision became known called strikes which are being adjusted
 ArchangeI Generally Quiet
 The Tchaplin group contends that 1t was not fairly represented in the government. The proclamation by De- dusenko charged that Tchaplin was attempting to restore a monarchy. headed by Grand Duke Michael Alex anderovitch, brother of the late en- peror. who, they contend. is hiding in Archansel. Of this there is no proof.
 Archangel is generally tranquil and the people are watching the American and other guards, apparently satisfied with the fairness of the allies. M. Tscnaikovsky and members of his cabinet conferred with the allied ann bassadors in an effort to reach an ad- justment satisfactory to all. | An Associated Press dispatch from Archangel September 12 said the Tschaikovsky provisional government had been re-seated after conference between the entente allid diplomatic and military chiefs and that it would continue to direct the affairs in the region of the north with the advice of the allies.
