Petrograd, Via London, May 29.— ¥he industrial crisis in Russia is s> “imcuts, according to a recent utterance of the minister of finance, M. Shinga- foft, that only a miracle can save the country from economic ruin. The de- mands of the workmen were so enor- mous, he said, thmt it seemed im- possible to keep the industrial wheels soing for any great length of time. 5, The socialist ministers at a recent ulnlmrul council said that the only p-lblmy they saw of settling the dif- ficulty was to bring the war to a close, Neither the coalition cabinet nar the newly appointed commission to regu- late the difficulties between ocapital and labor has found a way to settle the industrial crisis. - The commission {8 composed of the ministers of finance, trade and industry and labor, Jbut since there is a wide divergence af views between the minister of !finance and the new socialistic minis- ter of labor, it seems probable that this commission will be confronted __with the same difficulties that at- ‘tended previous efforts at reconcilia- tion. “ An investigation of the factory con- S —— MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND AGHES Make Life Hard to Bear for New Britlan Women. < Too many women mistake their pains and aches for troubles peculiar to the sex. More often disordered kidneys are causing the aching back, diszy spells, headaches and irregular prination. Kidney weakness becomes dangerous if neglected. Use a time- tried kidney remedy—Doan's Kidney . Pills. Hosts of people testify to their merit. Read a New Britain case. ‘. Miss E. Roseen, 270 Maple street, New Britain, says: “I was just as mis- srable as could be and had continued, sharp, shooting pains in my back. I gouldn’t move unless this pain seized me and it was just like needles plerc- ing my back all the time. It often caused a loss of slecp and made me feel tired and worn-out. I ‘doctored- and used medicines but got only tem- relief. 1 finally used Doan’s Kidney Pills and the second box gave me relief.

Foster-Milburn «—'—W—- = ditions in Petrograd leads to the alarming but inevitable conclusion that unless the government soon finds a means, of adjusting the present diffi- cultlu most. of the industrial enter- prises working for national defense will be compelled to close within a few months. The outstanding fea- ‘tures' of the labor situation are as ‘follows: o An jnvestigation shows that . vir- tually the same difficulties prevail in all the big factories in Petrograd, and apparently authenticated reports from the Moscow, Dunsetz and Ural dis- tricts indicate general disorganization, In many of the factories the demands by the workmen for increased wages are actually greater than the entire profits of the factories under the best conditions of production. The workmen, through their com- mittees, are in virtual command of the factories, and all business has to be ‘submitted to them for approval. ‘Wages in a majority of the factories have aiteady been increased from 100 to 160 per cent., but there has yet been no offset by an advance in prices of the output, In one of the works in Petrograd the workmen recently demanded. the immediate payment of about $6,50! 000 to cover an increase of 15 kopecs per hour for each workman since the beginning of the war. ‘The ‘dlrectors of the organisation immediately com- municated with' the government and asked to be placed under voluntary arrest as Dprotection against the threats of the workmen, . which as usual accompanied the demand. The directors were for two' days housed in the ministry of justice. The government finally informed the di- rectors that the matter would be can- sidered, and, wlth the demand of the workmen held ‘temporarily in abey- ance, the directors returned to the factory. An eight hour day has become { effective in all factories. According to the estimate of a leading manufac- turer the output of these factories has suffered an average decrease of 40 per cent. since the revolution. He explained that all these concerns were confronted with an imminent shortage of Taw materials and with bankruptcy, IN NO FEAR OF SUBMARINES. Newfoundland Fishermen Will Seek Cod as Usual. St. Johns, N. F.,, May 29.—New- foundiand fishermen do not share the fear expressed by some followers of the sea in Nova Scotia that German submarines may cross the Atlantic and work havoc in the fishing flotilla gathered on the Grand Banks, Word has been received that the fishing fleet of 120 vessels from Lun- enburg, N. 8., which annually seeks cod on the Grand Banks, is likely to abandon that region this summer be- cause of such apprehension. Local fishing interests do not comsider the danger sufficient to warrant staying away from such prolific fishing | marily with persons attempting Virginia and Texas Scenes of Plots Against Dralt Law Washington, May 28.—The pur- pose of the government to deal sum- to hinder registration under the selective draft law was reflected late yesterday in the announcement that eleven ar- rests had already been made and nine indictments returned by federal grand juries against persons participat- ing in that form of propaganda. Two of the men were members of an organization in the mountain dis- tricts of Virginia which was to be equipped with arms to resist registra- tion officers. The othér arrests were made in Texas, where a secret society, ostensibly organized for co-operative buying, under strong German influ- ence directed its efforts to the pur- chase of high powered rifles to intimi- date persons subject to registration. Similar undertakifigs in one or two Cent{ral Western cities are under sur- veillance. Severe penalties will be imposed not only for attempting to induce others not to register but for failure of any person to register who is subject to the law. Brigadier General E. H. Crowder, provost marshal general called attention in a formal announce- ment to the fact that the penalty for faijlure to register is a year's impris- onment. . The announcement foilows: “Fallure to register on Jurde 5 ren- ders one liable to a .year's imprison- ment. The fact that one is not en- titled to vote does not excuse him from registration. “White and colored between the 4dges of ‘twenty-one and thirty, both inclusive, must register on June 5. Announcement was made at the de- partment of 'justice that there are to be no half-way measures in dealing with persons who maliciously or oth- erwise counsel resistance to registra- tion. It is using all the agencies un- der its. direction in the enforcement of the Jaw and enlisting the ald of State arid municipal police authorities to that end. Concerning the arrests that have already been made the attorney gen- eral,” Mr. Gregory, said: “These, arrests should be accepted by the country generally as a warning against interfering with the enforce- | ment of the new army law; they merely demonstrate what the depart- ment of justice purposes to do in every case where attempts are made to hinder or discourage registration. “There have been a few reported instances of threats to interfere with of the department arrest will be made, and the offenders will be arraignéd hefore United States commissioners for commitment to await indictment by grand juries. “There are indications that attempts will be made in cne or two of the central western cities to make regis- tration ineffective. . The department is prepared to care for such emergencies, Its agents will be instructed to see that registration officers perform their duties properly and that they are not interfered with in the performance of their duties.” Mountaineers Oppose Registration. Roanoke, Va., May 29.—Special in- vestigators of the department of jus- tice declare that they have run down a most’ astonishing plot against the sovereignty of the United States, or- ganized with apparent thoroughness among the mountaineers of the border countries of Virginia and Kentucky. As ‘2 result, William V., McCoy, re- lated to the family whose feud with the Hatflelds in the nearby mountains of West Virginia, forms an interesting chapter in the history of this country, and his leutenant, J. W. Phipps, both of -8t. Paul, Wise county, Va., are today in the Roanoke jail, carefully guarded. L Special officers are busy in the mountain section around St. Paul close on the trail of others declared to be implicated in the alleged plot, which, according to officers who have been engaged in tracing it down, is one of the most startling the Department of Justice has faced for many years, in- volving disloyalty to the United States, murder and destruction and confisca- tion of ‘property of prominent citizens, talneers of the border coun- tries and, it is said, of many other mountain sections of this and nearby \] states, look upon the recently passed selective draft act with a great deal of resentment. Officers of the Depart- ment of Justice here declare that under the leadership of McCoy and Phipps more than two hundred men are banded together determined to resist the draft registration, and that the first effort to draft any ef them into army service would be the signal for a violent outbreak against organ- 1zed authority, The organization, it is declared, was directed not only against the draft measure, but against the wealthy land EE—— State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas Coun ty, ss.
