DEMOCRATIC-STATE | INRUSSIA IS SEEN Bakhmeteff, Former Envoy, Says Kaleidoscopic Changes | Can Be Expected. By the Associated Press. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., July 28.— Faith in the re-establishment of a sound Russia was expressed by Boris A. Bakhmeteff, former Russian am- bassador, when he addressed mem- bers of the Institute of Politics today at the opening session of his round- table conference on “International As- pects of the Russian Question.” Within two generations, he predict- ®d, Russia would be transformed, in all probability, into a modern demo- cratic state. That country, he said, had been suf- fering from a violent soclal malady the causes of which might be traced to the land problem and social hatred, both of which had exhausted themselves. “The peasants are now In posses- slon of the land, and the spirit of | revenge has run its course.” he said, “but this does not mean that Russia has reiched a condition of stable | equilibrium—much to the contrary. it means we must anticipate a period of the very greatest and most rapld changes. She has finished the purely destructive. The old order has been destroyed, never to return, and she is now bullding herself a new house trom cellar to attic.” Three Discussions. Started. Three other round table conferences | were started today. One on “The Con- | duct of Foreign Relations Under Modern Democratic Conditions,” was led by Dewlitt Clinton Poole, chief of | the division of eastern affairs in the | Department of State. Prof. Willlam McDouglass of Har- vard University outlined the plan of study which will be followed in his conference on “Race as a Factor In Politics.” He sald that racial antipathie uymn’m! 8 had become accentuated rather than diminished with Increasea intercourse among the peoples of the world and while a large group of political thinkers would Ignore and deride these as factors In the course of history, he believed research rather than dogmatic affirmation or denial was the urgent need of the times In the face of the problems of race. Royal Meeker, Pennsylvania_state commissioner of labor and Industry, opened a conference on the league of nations. He explained that the con- ference would be devoted to study of the league organization and would not concern itself with the question whether the United States should enter the league. CAPITOL GUIDE “TRUST” IS FORCED TO RETREAT and (Continued from First Page.) Even before all six chiny had dropped to their normal level after being tilted toward the mural paintings that | adorn the walls, a gentleman whose bralded hat proclaimed him to be the chief of the United States Capitol guldes, approached and said: “Good morning. Nice morning. I suppose you would like to have a Bulde escort you through the Capi- tol. Only 25 cents a head. He can tell you all about- @ | “Thank you, but we have ‘employed this gentleman to show us around the whole city. and he will direct us through the Capitol.” replied a mem- ber of the party, indicating the chauf- feur, who wore no sign of a badge or anything else to make him an official | guide, Barred Other Guide. “But he can't take vou through here,” protested the chief. “He isn't en allowed in the building. Walk around by yvourselves if you wish, but with him you can't go a step fur- s a public building. He is an American citizen,” stammered the apparently surprised tourist. “We | prefer his company. We know him | and trust his statements; further, we have already paid him. Are we to be held up for 25 cents more? At least Just let him walk with us. “He can’t even stay in this build- ing.” retorted the now excited chief. | “He ain’t got no business in here. 1| don’t want no contention about this here affair, but 'l have to put him out.! Thoroughly indignant in reality by such an absurd argument, the visitor demanded that he be taken to the office of the sergeant-at-arms imme- diately. The chief guide even pro- tested against the chauffeur accom- panying him there until the captain of the Capitol police, scenting some- thing unusual, interceded and took the party personally to the Senate official’s office. Against the Rules. They were politely received by John J. McGrain, a deputy, who con- firmed the fact that it was against | the “rules” for any but the Capitol | guldes to conduct visitors through the building. He, too, said visitors might go through alone, but smiled, probably in contemplation of the un- initiated finding their way through such a labrynth of halls without as- sistance. Asked who had propounded such a rule or law. he said the Cap-{ itol police board, consisting of David 8. Barry, sergeant-at-arms of the Sen- ate; Joseph G. Rogers, sergeant-at- arms of the House, and John Welsh, acting architect of the building. Prefessing disapproval of such & method, Mr. McGrain admitted Con- gress had had no part in framing | the rule or law and said the ser- ®geant-at-arms of the House, Mr. Rogers, had frequently declared in | his presence that the Capitol guides should be paid salaries to conduct Americans through their own bujld- ing without charge. Under present conditions, every quarter goes into the pocket of the man who does the conducting. No Opening on Staff. “Haven't you got an opening on | the staft of guldes” asked the re porter, who had counted three of them conducting more than 126 per- sons through at “two-bits" a head, a total of $31 for less than an hour's work. “Sorry, we haven' It's a good paying job, though,” replied Mr, MrGrain good naturedly. But tell| me. who are you.” Then the reporter made known his identity, the manager .of the tour- | ing cabs introduced himself and both | announced their intention of going through the United States Capitol with their chauffeur, rules and so- called law to the contrary and not- withstanding. Returning to _the | rotunda they met the two young women and children and set out, ful- 1y expecting to find themselves in police court within the hour. A lone gulde started after them. But the captain of the Capitol police force was just ore step quicker, Snatching him by the arm, he whis- pered something in his ear which he evidently had already sald to the other guides, waiting for stray quar- ters. . “Oh, youre going that way, are You?" the guide sald weakly, as the Party started toward the Senate side on its now unobstructed tour of their own United States Capitol.

Demand Is Old One. “The demand for a closed shop ha twice been a subject of arbitration between us—Afirst before the Roose velt commission in 1902 and second before the Wilson commission in 1920. Both of these commissions refused your demand In no uncertaln terms and decided unequivocally for the open shop. You seem to ignore en tirely the admonition of the Roose velt commission that the trade union is a voluntary social organization and, like any other organization, I§ subordinate to the laws of the 'and and cannot make rules or regulations in contravention thereof. ~ Yet, at times It seeks to set itself up as & separate and distinct governing agency and to control those wWho have refused to join its ranks and to con- sent to' its government, and to deny to them the personal liberties which are guaranteed to every citizen by statement, s in the the Constitution and the laws of the | land.” Mr. Warriner declared could more clearly expr than this quotation. We are opposcd to any contract which requires a man to surrender rights guaranteed to every citizen under the laws of the land and the demand is therefore re- fused.” Says Earnings High. The miners' demands, he s othing id, wera a repetition of those submitted to the | Wilson commission. He declared the industry was operating under a scale of wages representing “the very peak of the post-war conditions,” and an- thracite employes today were “far above the increased cost of living as | compared with the pre-war period.” The recent report of the United tate Coal Commission corroborated these statements, b sald, continulng: In the light of these conditions we are prepared to execute a contract renewing the present wage scale t April 1, 1925, We will eliminate the twelve-hour day where it is in effect, spced up the work of the board of conciliation and endeavor to embody in the contract clauses covering thos minor matters which we have e pressed a willingness to consider during the present negotiations.” ‘The operators’ prepared statement evidently took the miners by rprise Mr. Lewis, replying extemporaneous- 1y, charged it “obviously was pri ed for the press, for public con- sumption,” that it as manifest the operators obtained a truce for this pur- pose “and not with the intention of giving further consideration to the mat ters before the conference.’ He declared the quotation from th Roosevelt commission’s award wa unfair and unjust,” saying the union was “a legal and an Ameri. can organization, recognizing the majesty of the law and the sovereign ty of our republic, and there is conflict in principle or in fact between any of our demands and the laws of our country or the public welfare.

With the completion of that trip “Tom" Bowler, as he is familiarly known, will have made his last trip as an engineer. He recently reachad his seventy-first year. and on Monday ! goes on the retired list of the Penn- sylvania system. He entered the service of this road fifty years ago and during the last thirty-seven years has been an engineer. He al- Wways has been at the throttle of fast trains between here and New York, and he has the proud distinction of never having had an accident and never having destroyed a bit of | property. Friends of “Tom” say this record is unprecedented. They believe also that he has the record for mileage. He has made sufficient trips during | his career to equal nearly one million and a quarter miles. i During the week “Tom" and his old pals will celebrate his retirement at the Bowler home, 1716 Kilbourne place northwest, and a few weeks later the members of Capital Division, . 160, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, will stage a celebration in his honor, on which occasion he | will be presented with the division medal, AMMONIA BLAST IMPERILS LIVES Explosion in Ice Plant Circulates; Powerful Fumes Among Tenement Dwellers. By the Associsted Press. NEW YORK, July 28 —Hundreds of tenement house dwellers in the! vicinity of East 70th and exterior streets were imperiled late yesterday | when an ammonia pipe exploded in | the plant of the Knickerbocker Ice Company, spreading the powerful fumes through several blocks. The fire department rescue squad, equipped with gas masks, was rushed to the scene and began the work of getting persons out of the danger zone. Ambulances were called out to | remove those overcome, No one was killed by the explosion. A similar accident occurred in the plant about a year ago, driving the inhabitants of the tenements to the street. Consequently they, in this case, covered their faces with towels, knowing from experience that this was the safest way to escape the fumes. Twenty employes were in the plant when the explosion occurred, and all were affected by the ammonia fumes. Six were carried to the street by the others, but later were able to go to their homes. —_—_— WARNS OF UNSCRUPULOUS PROMOTERS OF STOCKS Persons who asked to speculate in a platinum property should be carefully advised and ought not to invest unless a careful examination is made by a competent engineer, the bureau of mines warned today in ex- posing the activities of unscrupulous Stock promoters who advertise fab- | ulous finds of “platinum-bearing ock.” "Fhe bureau explained that aithough the United States, from widely scat- tered sources, produces only a few hundred ounces of platinum each ear, certain promoters have made “extremely fanciful” annquncements regarding properties claimed to con- tain platinum in commercial quan- tities. The staff of the bureau has made an especial effort to determine whether the United States has really any domestic sources of platinum, but the results have proved disappoint- ing. ‘““The United States appears to have no important resources of plati- * the bureau says.

Great Britain proposes that the reparations commission shall appoint an impartial commission of experts with an American chairman to re- examine “Germany's capacity and means of payment. France and Bel- glum accept the idea of such a com- mission, but only if it is clearly un derstood that the commission sha not be allowed to discuss the total German debt, as already definitely fixed by solemn treaty and agree- ment. In other words, France and Belgium want a commission to ex- amine not how much, but how Ger- many should pay. Great Britain proposes a new allled conference to modify the scale of payments set in 1921. France re- fuses to envisage a modification of this scale except as the reparation commission may demand. Belgium apparently is ready to consider a modification, provided Belglum's min- ifmum claim of 5,000,000,000 gold marks is safeguarded. Great Britaln proposes to postpune the allied debt settlement perhaps fifteen years. France and Belgium are ready to accept postponement, not only on th debt settlement, but also on ‘the “C" bond settlement, leaving the German reparations debt at 56,000,000,000 gold marks of which France_claims 26,000,000,000 and Bel- gium, 5,000.000,000. Great Britain offers, In the case of an agreement, to consider benevolently any French or Belgian security pro- posals. France and Belgium profess to see no direct relation between reparations and security problems and refuse to allow them thus to be linked together. The French and Belglan replies to Great Britain will be concillatory leaving the way open to further nego- tiations. BRITISH HOPES WANE. Think Joint Action on Reparations Will Be Prevented. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 28.—The opinion that Great Britain eventually will be obliged to send its own reply to Ger- many without co-operation from France and Belglum ls strengthened by the latest reports from-Paris. Some observers, however, hope that the attitude of Belgium, the aim of which {s described by the diplomatic | correspondent of the Daily Telegraph | as an attempt “to bridge the gulf| between the British and French| standpoints,” may keep the allies to- | gether to maintain a united front to- ward Germany. 1t js reported here that there is con- siderable divergence in the French and Belgian views, and that for one thing particularly Belgium looks with less favor than France upon the putative British proposal of the ap- pointment of an international com- mission to investigate Germany's ability to pay. The Belgian reply to great Britian is expected to be delayed a day or two longer than the French, which, it is anticipated, will be delivered In London today or tomorrow. PRICE HALTS WHEAT CROP.
