W. revolt that has tem porarily gained control of the city." This was the comment of Rev. Vladi mir V. Alexandrof. archpriest of the Russian orthodox church in America, yesterday. Father Alexandrof is on his way to Washington, he said, with mes sages from Premier Kerensky, a per sonal friend, to the American Govern ment. He left Petrograd only a. short time ago. The domination of Petrograd by these radicals is not alarming," he said. "Petrograd is not Russia. Before I left Russia the government had practically moved to Moscow. Mr. Kerensky fore saw this uprising, for he spoke of it to me several times-. "So far as a separate peace is, con cerned, I regard it as a distant proba bility."

December 17 Is Date Set for Hearing Application for 15 Per Cent Rise. BOYS' . DAY Saturday WITH HUNDREDS OF WINTER WEARABLES AT SPECIAL SAVINGS THORNE DARES WILLIAMS Attack ou Proposed Increases Is Launched by Counsel Repre senting Oil Producers. and livestock Men. HOME RULE ADVOCATES FORM TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. Committee Named to Arrange for As sembly at Public Library; Res olutions to Be Presented. WASHINGTON, ' Nov. 9. Western railroads today re-entered the 15 per cent rate increase case by arranging with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion for a hearing December 17 on an application to be made then for a gen eral increase of an unspecified amount. The action will be joined to the appli cation of Eastern roads for 15 per cent higher rates, now being heard by the Commission, and it is believed that Southern roads will not be long in asking to be included in the case. This would brlns before the Commission definitely the issue of allowing in creases to roads of the entire country to cover higher labor, material and supply costs. In disposing of the railroads' appli cation for a 15 per cent rise last June, the Interstate Commerce Commission granted a few minor increases to the Western carriers. They now are pre pared to show that their net earnings have dwindled as compared- with last year and claim that to maintain effi cient service required for the war and make necessary Improvements part of the burden of heavier operating costs must be passed on to shippers. A general attack on the proposed in creases for Eastern roads on petroleum and its products was made before Ex aminer Disque today by counsel and witnesses for the independent oil inter ests. They contended that any increase would be destructive to them and inure to the advantage of their only com petitor, the Standard Oil Company, whose pipe lines, distributing stations and tank wagons make it virtually in dependent of the railroads. Thome Dares Williams. Clifford Thorne, for the oil men, said Jn- many instances the proposed ad vances would exceed 15 per cent, par ticularly in Ohio, where they would run all the way from 30 to 50 per cent or more. He contended that the pro posed rates were arranged without con sultation with the oil men and that towns in the oil field had been arbi trarily grouped by the roads in the rate adjustment. James Webster, of the New "Fork Central, told the examiner that petro leum received the same tariff treat ment as any other commodity. Mr. Thorne, representing Western and central livestock, grain and oil shippers before the Interstate Com merce Commission in the reopened 15 per cent advance rate case, made pub lic today a letter to John Skelton Will lams. Controller of the Currency, taking issue with a recent statement by the Controller supporting the ef forts of the railroads to obtain higher rates. He challenged assertions of the Controller, and dared him to ap pear before the commission and ques tion the accuracy of statements of fact offered there in behalf of the shippers opposing the advance. Williams Replies to Thorne. In a statement tonight, commenting on the Thorne letter, ontroller Will iams declared his statement was issued in the interest of the Nf tional banks. "Our National banks, which are under the supervision of this office," he said, "are large holders of high-grade railroad bonds which have declined greatly in value. My statement was in tended to give encouragement and to prevent the unnecessary sacrifice of such securities, believing, as I did, that the interests of our railroads would be safeguarded and protected and that they would be permitted to charge such rates for transportation as would, with good management, enable them to earn a fair return upon the capital invested in them." Mr. Williams asserted that it was only necessary to refer to the stock quotation list to see the "absurdity and error" of Mr. Thome's claim that rail road securities as a class have declined at a less rate than Government bonds. TERMINAL RATES DEFENDED Seattle and Ixj s Angeles Representa tives Before Committee. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9. Pacific Coast terminals are not trying to raise inter-mountain railway rates, but the mountain points are trying to raise Coast rates, was the charge made be fore the Congressional Joint committee on interstate commerce today by S. J. Vettrlck, manager of the transporta tion bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and. representative also of Tacoma's Chamber of Commerce. He also called attention to the long ex perlence of England in regard to long and short-haul rules and quoted Eng lish decisions showing that competition at terminals obliged carriers to exact high rates from intermediate points in order to get a reasonable return on their - Investments. F. P. Gregson, representing the Asso elated Jobbers of L109 Angeles, made a point of the fact that California s east bound freight was largely in excess of west-bound freight to California, so that It was to the Interest of inter mountain points also that shipments in both directions should be equalized aa far as possible. If the carriers had to return mainly empty cars in which to send out California fruits and products, he said, they would be forced to raise their general rates, and mountain states would also suffer. He added that 250.000 cars of California prod ucts were sent East yearly, of which about 100,000 were returned empty. Several prominent Portland citizens, who for many years have been inter ested in the Irish home rule movement, met at the Hotel Portland last -night and elfected a temporary organization of a branch of "The Friends of Irish Constitutional Liberty." J. Hennessy Murphy presided as chairman of the meeting, which appointed a committee to arrange for a mass meeting at the Public Library at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, when, the branch will be perma nently organized and officers elected. The members of this committee are: L. Shanahan, Dr. J. J. Mahoney, M. H. O'Connor, ' Martin G. Griffin, W. J. Toomey, John Currah 'and Mr. Murphy.

O'Connor, who for seevral months has been touring the United States tn the interest of the National movement In Ireland, led by John Redmond, and which is opposed to Sinn Fein, alleged to be a revolutionary movement and more or less pro-German. ' At the mass meeting tomorrow night resolutions supporting the Irish con stitutional movement and condemning pro-Germanism and. disloyalty gener ally in this country will be presented for consideration and a number of ad dresses will be given by prominent Irish residents of this city. USE OF TRUCKS URGED RAILROAD BURDEN STIRS DEFENSE COUNCIL TO ACT. Committee Organized to Farther Wider Use of Autos and Waterways for Local Haulage. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9,-reater use of highways and inland waterways for short hauls in an effort to relieve the burden placed on the railroads by the war is sought by the Council of Na tional Defense in the appointment to day of a highway transport committee. Co-operative work with the various de partments of the Government Interested in the utilization of roads for military purposes will be started at once by the committee, which later will co-ordinate its work with that of the railroads and assist local highway authorities in maintaining the roads. Inasmuch as the task of hauling freight long distances naturally falls to the railroads, it is planned by the council to encourage the use of motor trucks for shorter distances, especially the movement of farm products. In land waterways will.be used for relief where available. Relief of congestibn in railroad yards and at terminals will be one of the problems to be worked ut in co-operation with the railroads.
