RUSSIAN SOVIET
READY TODISCUSS
TERMS OF PEACE
Suggest Armistice and Name
Conditions to Be
Demanded.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Daily Her
aid, the labor organ, today prints
the full draft of the conditions upon
which the leaders of the soviet gov
ernment in Russia are willing to
discuss peace terms with the allied
and associated powers, which were
brought to London by Lieut.. Col.
Lestrange Malone, liberal member
of parliament, who recently returned
from visit to Russia.
The soviet government, according
to the draft, proposes peace con-
ference in a neutral country after an
agreement on an armistice for all
the fronts, including the border
states, all the de facto governments
meantime to remain in control.
The blockade would be removed,
and the soviet government and the
nationals of the associated and al
lied governments would have free
rights of transit over all the rail-
ways and at ports of the former
Russian empire, including the border
states and Finland, and free trade
communication in and out of the
country. 49, y

The conditions provide that the
soviet government would be en-
titled to send representatives to all
allied countries and for the with
drawal of all allied troops from Rus
sian territory and the cessation of
allied military help to the Russian
forces. The soviet government also
promises to recognize all foreign
debt obligations Of the former Rus
sian empire.
Willingness is. expressed by the
soviet government for conference
on this basis, provided the allies
make proposal before November
rs. The soviet government is "anx-
ious to have a semi-oficial guaran-
tee from the American and British
governments that they will do their
utmost to insure that France lives
up to the conditions of the armi-
stice." .-..-.
The draft concludes by saying that
the soviet government "hopes it will
not be necessary to transfer this Of
FER with necessary notifications to
the central powers"

Plumb Explains His Plans 4
Of Railroad Management
Tells Audience Changes
Would Mean Only a Cor
poration for Service In
stead of Profit.

Glenn F. Plumb, author of a plan
for the management and control Of
the railroads of the United States,
addressed gathering of members
of the railroad brotherhoods in the
Swedish auditorium last night, ap-
pearing under the auspices of the
Plumb Plan league. He was intrp-
duced by T. R. Reynolds, president
of the Nebraska State Federation
of Labor. tj ....
Mr.. Plumb came to Omaha from
Sioux City, accompanied by Mrs.
Plumb, and was met at Union sta
ton by committee who escorted
him to the Hotel Fontenelle.
Plumb Plan in Brief.
By the Plumb plan of railroad
control it is proposed to have the
government issue bonds for an
amount equal to an investment
valuation of the railroads, and Sc
lect governing body whose men,
bers shall be chosen by the gov
ernment, the railroad officials, and
the employees, each to have equal
representation. The plan contem-
plates that rates shall be fixed by
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion.
In his address Mr.. Plumb re-
viewed railroad history, increasing
wages and prices, and the relations
between capital and labor.
"We have been told" he said,
that the railroads are private prop
erty subjected to a public use. 1t
is part of our fundamental law that
the railroads are public highways.
I will venture to say that there are
not more than Sl0,000,000,000 Of

Attorney General Palmer Tells
Union Head Proceedings Will
Be Dismissed When Miners
Strike Order Is Withdrawn.
HEARING IN FEDERAL
COURT SET FOR TODAY,
Three Conferences Held in
Endeavor to Prevent Legal
Action Fai|-DeIay in In
dianapoIis Is Anticipated.

Washington, Nov. 7-Eleventh-
hour efforts by Samuel Gompers, to
settle the coal strike were met to-
night by emphatic declarations
from the government that injunc-
ton proceedings would be dismissed
the instant the strike order was
Withdrawn-and not before.
This final decision was given to
Mr.. Gompers, heading a delegation
of high labor officials, at the close
of the third. conference of the day
with Attorney General Palmer, and
after Mr.. Gompers had talked over
the telephone with John L. Lewis,
acting head of the United Mine
Workers of America, Indianapolis.
Mr.. Gompers, fighting hard to
have the government drop its in
injunction suit set for hearing to-
morrow, plainly showed that he was
under a severe strain as he left the
Department of Justice, flatly and
bluntly refusing on his way out to
say one word about the three con-
ferences or hope of ending the
strike of more than 100000 miners
before the United States could press
its suit against officers of the min
ers' organization.
Palmer Statement Brief.
Attorney General Palmer, to
whom Mr.. Gompers referred all re-
quests for information, refused to
see newspaper men.
"Mr. Palmer wishes me to say
that he will have no statement to-
night other than that he made as
he left the cabinet meeting" his
secretary announced.
There were only 18 words in the
statement Mr.. Palmer dictated to
newspaper men as he left the White
House after the cabinet meeting and
an earlier conference with President
Wilson.
"The Injunction proceedings
against the coal miners leaders will
be dismissed the instant the strike
order is recalled" said the attorney
general, and his utterance stood to-
night as the final word from the
government on the eve of what may
prove the beginning tomorrow of
the greatst labor union litigation in
the history of the country.
Delay Is Expected.
Through the day, although it was
on the lip of all official Washing
ton that the government and the
miners were considering new plans
for ending the struggle without fur
ther resort to law, the feeling grew
that hearing on the restraining or
der, set for tomorrow morning in
the federal. court before Judge An
derson at Indianapolis, would be
postponed without predujice to
either side"
The Department of Justice will
not ask for a postponement. but
/ whether it might oppose the request
if miners asked for more time, not
an unusual proceeding, officials de-
clined to say.
"The only thing that can stop the
proceeding started by the United
States is for the miners to call off
the strike the attorney general re-
/ iterated time and again"
! Gompers Is Persistent.
/ The persistency with which Mr..
| Gompers presented plea after plea
to the attorney general indicated his
earnest desire to bring peace to the
coal fields before the battle is waged
more heatedly in the fedral courts.
