NEW REVOLUTION OVER WHOLE 0F RUSSIA

LONDON, June 2.-(By the Associ- ated Press)-The discovery in Moscow and Petrograd of a large counter revo- lutionary plot which stretches trough out the whole of Russia is announced in a Russian wireless message received here tonight. To this plot is attribu- table in part the mutiny of the Czecho- Slovak troops which have cap- tured several important railway junc- tions and lines.
 The soviet executive decided on May 20 to undertake the partial calling to arms of several classes of workmen and the poorer peasants in Petrograd, Moscow and the Kuban and Don re- gions.
 At the same time Moscow has been declared in a state of siege. Counter reVoutionaries have been arrested in considerable numbers and energetic measures have been taken against the press.
 These measures are necessary, it is announced owing to the situation in which the Russian revolution has been placed
 The question dominating all others is that of supplying the people with bread, now that Russia has been de- prived of the Ukraine granary. The Kuban and Don regions are, according to the Russian scheme, menaced by u counter revolutionary band which hopes by means of complications to provoke intervention by foreign pow CTS and thus drive the Russian masses toward famine
 In some regions the large land owners are mobilizing the well do peasants. with the object of resisting the efforts of the government to com mandeer the flour depots, and are try ing to conceal their stocks for pur- poses of future speculation and finally, agents of the counter revolution in the various cities throughout the country, says the statement, "are seeking to ex cite the starving masses against the l soviet government"

WESTERN UNION
 AND WAR BOARD |. FAIL TO AGREE
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, June 2.-The Western Union Telegraph company has declined to submit to the jurisdiction of the national war labor board which sought to adjust the differences between the company and those of it's employees who are members of the Commercial Tele- graphers Union of America.
 The Western Unions decision be- came known when the report of an ex- ecutive session of the war board held here yesterday was made public to- night. It embodied a report by W. H. Taft and Frank P. Walsh, joint chair men of the board, who conferred with Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union, in an effort to compose the differences between the company and those of its employees who had been dismissed, it was charged, because they joined the Commercial Telegraph CTS Union of America.
 War Board Investigates
 Complaint against the company's s action was taken to the war board and MT. Taft and Mir Walsh made an in vestlgation. They then submitted a proposition in the nature of a com promise based on the principles under lying the work of the war board. This platform recognizes the right of men to organize and holds they should not be discharged for membership in trades unions or for legitimate trade union activities.
 This compromise proposal, under which the Western Union was not re- quired to recognize the union and by which the union was bound not to use the strike as a weapon, was submitted to NIT. Carlton but he declined posi- lively to permit employees of his com pany to join the union unless a refer endum of all the company's workers showed that a majority of them ia = vored such a step
 Declines to Compromise Tn view of the correspondence. it does not seem useful to further pro- long the mediation. The construction Of our principles as set forth in Mir Taft's. telegram to Mr Carlton leads to the conclusion that the Western Union Telegraph company should ac- cept this compromise It de- clines, however, to do so or to submit to the jurisdiction of this board and no | further action of the board, is there fore, recommended, except the publica- tion of this report of the section, and the vote of this board upon the report
 In his final letter to MT. Carlton, MT | Taft wrote:
 T ask you to consider again this proposal before a final rejection Ol course, your submission to our juris- | diction is matter of discretion, but | deprecate an attitude on the part ot an employer of men so widely distrib- uted which may defeat the usefulness of our board"
 Employees Must Choose The Western Union is not seekinf rights said Mir. Carlton in a statement issued tonight, but it recognizes tha- its employees must choose employment l with the company or membership 1T the C. T. U. A., with employment 1T the many other telegraph position.
