quarters in the Smolny Institute is en
deavoring to collect the reins of au
thority that it has wrested successfully
from the Kerensky Cabinet, has set
about speedily to extend its power all
over Russia and bring about an early
consultation over its aims. The con
gress already has selected commissaries
to assume control of various depart
ments pending the institution of a per
manent government.
The revolutionary committee has ar
ranged a search for Premier Kerensky
with the intention of arresting him, and
has taken many other measures to fur
ther its control. The congress is meet
ing In the dimly-lighted commencement
room of the Smolny Institute, where

Lenine In Laborer's Garb.
: Lenine, who wears workingman's
garb, sat during the sessions of the
congress on a raised platform with
Leon Trotzky, president of the execu
tive committee of the Petrograd dele
gates, M. Kamineff and other Bolshe
vlkl leaders. Last night they outlined
the alms and decisions of the military
revolutionary committee as follows:
."The abolition of capital punishment.
"The immediate release of all sol
diers arrested by the Kerensky govern
ment for political offenses.
.' "All members of the Kerensky gov
ernment to be arrested and all the rev
olutionary committees to arrest Keren
sky himself and to punish those aiding
him to escape."
No Annexations Urged.
"We must take practical measures
Immediately to effect the promises
given by the Bolshevllci party," Lenine
said. "The question of peace is a burn
ing: one today, therefore, the first act
of the new government which is to be
formed is to offer to all nations a dem
ocratic peace based on no annexations
and no indemnities. Such a peace is to
be concluded not by diplomacy, but by
the representatives of the people."
Lenine explained that by annexation
he meant the forcible seizure of any
territory in the past or the present
without consent of the people. He as
serted that all secret, treaties meant to
benefit the bourgeoise must be pub
lished and voided to benefit alL
Building Is Guarded.
There were macMne guns and a field
piece and a strong guard of Infantry
protecting the three-story building In
which the workmen's and soldiers" con
gress met. The spacious commence
ment room of the Smolny Institute was
crowded with delegates, with soldiers
predominating. There also were a num
ber of sailors seated among the peas
ant delegates.
The audience wore an expectant, ear
nest air. Though many factions of the
Socialists are represented there was no
grouping of seats to the left or right.
On the platform Leon Trotzsky was
seated, carefully groomed, smiling and
triumphant. Nikolai .Lenine, quiet, re
served and studious, was beside him.

Nov. 8. The Italians continue their
retreat, in accordance with the plan of
the general staff. Although the plain
over which they are fighting offers no
new natural defenses with the excep

determined resistance to the enemy.

a rain of shells on the Germans and

price for the ground they gain.

"National Tendencies."
"Here in this shipyard you are doing
something really worth while. Tou are
rendering your country a real service
In producing ships with which to win
this war. The worst that could happen
would be for this industry to be crip

Using a pile of lumber as a platform,
Mr. Marshall commended the workmen,
who stood on freight trucks and rail
road cars, for their industry and patri
otism. Sacrifices Are Needed.
"We are at war with the Imperial
German government and It Is not the
time for wrangling among ourselves
over petty differences," said Mr. Mar
shall. "Let's be good, common, every
day Americans. You men are equally
Interested with the President and the
members of his Cabinet in having this
war prosecuted successfully. My idea
of patriotism Is not how much a man
can make as a 'direct result of war
time conditions, but how much of a
sacrifice he can make. - We all should
and must make some sacrifice, no mat
ter how small It may seem when com
pared to the sacrifice the soldier In
the trenches Is making."
"Go ahead, you have 20 minutes more
to talk," shouted one of the enthu
siastic workmen as Mr. Marshall con
cluded his remarks. ,

Governor Declares Conditions
at Prison Are Good.
FLAX FARM HEAD TO GO
Failure of Flax Industry and Attack
Made Fpon Warden Mlnto Ssld
to Be Responsible for Re
moval of Mr. Crawford.
SALEM, Or.. Nov. 9. (Special.)
More rigid selection of the men who
are granted honor-system privileges at
the State Penitentiary and establish
ment of a closer surveillance are "new
rules which will become effective at
the state prison at once, following a
conference between Governor Withy
combe and Warden Murphy today.
Flax Head May Lose Job.
Incidentally, as another important
change In the course, of prison affairs.
Superintendent Crawford is due to lose
his Job at the head of the flax plant In
the near future and will be succeeded
by two men. This change, however,
will cut the administration cost down.
Governor Withycombe, who has Just
returned to the city after a trip to
Lewiston, Idaho, had an opportunity to
express himself here on the workings
of the honor system for the first time
since six convicts made their break
from the honor gang at the Peniten
tiary wood camp, a few days ago.
Governor Xet Discouraged.
"I never have been enthusiastic over
a radical honor system. asserted the
Governor. "A lot of maudlin sentl
mentallsm clusters around it. But I
believe a modified ' form of an honor
system can yet be made practical and
wholly beneficial. I am not at all dis
couraged with recent events. The con
ditions at the prison are better at the
present than perhaps at any time in its
entire history.
"This Summer more than 100 men
have been worked successfully without
guards. Those who recently escaped
had been working as honor men since
early Spring and were excellent work
ers. Their escape is evidently the re
sult of a brainstorm. Those men are
more to be pitied than to be condemned,
as they had not the power to resist the
Impulse to escape.
Errsr of Mercy Favored.
"The former administration at the
prison evidently lacked the milk of hu
man kindness which sweetens human
souls. While Warden Murphy may
have a little too much of that same
milk of human kindness. I nevertheless
have absolute confidence in his admin
istration. I would much rather err In
that direction than be unmercifully
harsh with the prisoners.
"Conditions as a whole, as I before
stated, are very good and especially
has the parole system proven itself re
markably successful. Seventy-five per
cent of paroled men and those" who
have been conditionally pardoned are
making good, and that is a record
which I believe is unsurpassed in any
similar institution in the United
States.
Flax Industry May Aid.
"I am hopeful that the flax industry
will ultimately solve the prison labor
problem. '
"Criticism that has been directed at
the alleged high per capita cost really
Is unfounded. There have been many
extraordinary expenses to meet during
the past few months, with a small pop
ulation, and the same number of guards
is required to handle 300 men as to
to handle 500 men. The smaller the
population the greater the per capita
cost.
"When slight friction between em
ployes is settled the flax plant at the
prison will be placed on a working,
basis.
"For some time it has been my pur
pose to lessen the cost of the adminis
tration of the flax industry. It Is now
costing $350 a month and two men at
$100 a month apiece can operate it
Just as successfully. This will mean
the dispensing with the services of Su
perintendent Crawford at 200 per
month, and. two men, now employed at
the prison and now perfectly familiar
with the work, will carry on the con
duct of the Industry."
Crawford Long; In Danger.
Probability of Crawford's walking
the plank as a state employe has been
considered likely for some time, but
today is the first actual intimation
given by the Governor that Crawford
would soon be Informed that his serv
ices no longer are needed.
Suspicion has been pretty well
grounded In the mind of the executive
that Crawford has been responsible for
attacks, more or less in the dark, on
Warden Murphy. Crawford frequently
has gone to the Governor with allega
tions aa to interference on the part of
the Warden. Just how far these alle
gations have Injured the Warden are
Indicated plainly by today's develop
ments. The Executive did not state positive
ly how soon Crawford's name will be
erased from the state payroll, but gave
the Inference that It will not be In the
d'n distant future.
S
