 vLAD|vOSTOK Members of Fur Trading Company Thinks ShlIka
 Friendly to Ker-

 derstanding.
AND NOT BOLSHEWKI

SEATTLE, Dec. 31. - That the mysterious Russian steamship Shil- la represents the Kerensky govern nent instead of the Bolsheviki gov. srnment, taking orders from the old provisional governments naval com nander at Vladivostok, is the con ;lusion reached today by N Nichol, Trading Company of Seattle, who vas one of the leaders of the 1905 'evolt in Russia.
 Nichol has been quietly investi- ,ating the status of the ship since Ter arrival in Seattle.
 "The ship represents the provis- onal government headed by Alex nder Kerensky," he said, "and the )fficers and the men feel hurt by heir reception in Seattle. Not long go they joined in giving an enthus- astic welcome to certain American yarships which called at Viadivos- ok The ship is operating under he laws and regulations of the provisional government which was lriven from Petrograd by the Len ne uprising.
 Capt Boris Bedel, commander of he Shilka, is an officer of the Russian navy and his immediate su- )eror is the commandant of the naval station at Vladivostok The ;ommandant is a representative of he provisional government and has iothing to do with the Lenine gov ,rnment.
 Flies War Harbor Flag
 "The Shilka seems to have excited suspicion because of her flag. The vessel belongs to the Russian navy. being used as transport, and flies he Russian war harbor flag. This lag never has been seen in Seattle before for the simple reason we lever had a Russian naval transport here.
 When the Shilka sailed from Vladivostok for Seattle the provis- ional government still held that port. The telegraph operators there refused to receive any messages ov- CT the wire from the Lenine govern ment. The workers on the Trans Siberian railway also refused to rec. ognize the Bolsheviki.
 "The presence of the committee aboard the ship Is in accordance with the laws of the provisional government There are such com mittees on all war vessels and all merchant ships, but their jurisdic tion is limited to the question Of food They cannot interfere with the commander or the navigation of the ship. They have nothing to do with the ship discipline They have nothing to say about the hours of labor or anything else except food The committees vary with the size of the ship.
 Committee of Six
 "The Shilka's committee consists of five sailors and one officer, the latter having control of the money for food supplies. Each and every member of the committee must obey the orders of the commander The commander is supreme.
 Long before the Lenine uprising the provisional government estab lished the eight hour law on all

GARFIELD BLAMED
FOR COAL FAMINE
Senate Sub Committee Will Say
He Intcrfered With Laws Of
Demand and Supply.
WASHINGTON. Fen. I.

WASHINGTON, FED. i.
Senator Reed, chairman of the sub
committee of the Senate committee on
manufactures, will make report on
Monday or Tuesday on the sugar and
coal Investigations authorized IN the
Lodge resolution. 1t will not deal with
individuals, but will criticize the system
developed under the food and fuel act.
The report will recommend that the
administration protect the public from
spectators, hoarders and conspirators,
and suggest that the best way to handle
coal and sugar distribution is to leave it
10 the agencies which have been de-
vclopcd for that purpose for many years.
GARFIELD Is CRITICISED.
Senator Reed will argue that the
fuel and food administrators went too
far in trying to interfere with the natural
laws of supply and demand.
The report on the coal Investigation
will say that Mr. Garfield brought about
chaotic conditions by eliminating all the
distributing agencies that had been
established in the course of years. 1t
will be asserted that that mistake is
chiefly responsible for the coal famines In
many of the larger cities, where the natural
distributing agencies have been put out OF
business
In the report the food administra--
ton viii receive credit for having curbed
the spectators and having dealt ef-
fectively with hoarders. The food adj
ministration will be critized for under
taking other work that should have been
left 10 long established agencies.
Whatever the committee does the
senate will be slow to change the food
and fuel laws The effect of the adverse
report may be in the nature of 3 warning
10 the food and fuel administrations
but at this time no one expects to pass
ny legislation that will cripple either.
