Planting Season Brings New
Kind of Russian Chaos.
Lenine Sends AgitatOrs Thru
Nation To Spread Anarchy.

Petrograd. Wednesday, Feb. g.
With the approach of the spring plant
ing season land distribution is become
men who are leaving the cities for
their native villages to get land, rap
idly are spreading the economic strug-
gle thru Russia. The All-RusSian
congress of workmen's and soldiers
delegates adjourned without adopting
the plans of M. Kalegayev, the minis
ter of agriculture, for the apportion-
ment of the land. Consequently no
definite legislation has been estab-
lished for the method of division. The
land owning peasants as well as the
bourgeois are to be deprived of their
estates.
PremieRs Lenine today addressed a
large gathering of agitators who are
to depart soon for the provinces to
lead the confiscation campaign. He
urged them to make war on all villa ge
exploiters and rich peasants as they
did on the wealthy land owners.
I'VE have taken the land to give it
to the poor peasants the premier
said. do not let the rich peasants or
exploiters get the agricultural imple-
znents. Put ten poor peasants against
every. rich one.
THE police are dead and buried
and the masses must take affairs in
their own hands.
External war is being finished
now. Internal war begins but not a
war with arms. This is an economic
war. The masses must take back
what has been stolen from them"

MUST TREAT ALL ALIKE
Other British Unions Condemn En-.
gineers for Claiming Exemption.

London, Feb. A private confer
ence Friday between Sir Auckland
Geddes, minister of the national SER
vice, and trade union representatives
with reference to the government s
man power proposals, failed to end the
dispute about the position of the en-
gineers but ELECTED clear statement
from the other unions that the en-
gineers were not entitled to any ex-
ceptional treatment and that a COM
bining scheme must apply equally to
all.
The Amalgamated Society of En-
gineers refused to send delegates TO
the conference. The labor leaders at
the conference after rejecting various
proposals condemned the engineers for
their aloofness and resolved to invite
the amalgamated society to meet the
other unions in conference at which
the government. would not be repre-
scented.
Individual members of the confer
ence say that Sir Auckland and his
government colleagues interviewed as
little as possible with the proceed
ings The delegates were asked to
decide among themselves whether the
demand of the engineers for a sepa-
rate consultation with the govern
ment should be conceded or refused.

STOCKS SITTING TIGHT

New York, Feb. 9.-The uncertain
course of this weeks stock market
was influenced in equal degree by for

were superseded by developments
pointing to an Indefinite continuance
of the war. The tone of Industrial
