OAKLAND, Cal., July 14. Approxi mately 3500 bollermakers employed in shipyards on this side of San Francls ca Bay, engaged in filling Government contracts, were ordered tonight not to return to work tomorrow because, of the alleged failure of the shipbuilding companies to adhere to the scale of wages established by the Macey Wage Adjusting Commission. The bollermakers, at the conclusion of a mass meeting held in the Munici pal Auditorium attended by more than 2200 workers, voted not to return to work until the controversy with their employers had been adjusted satisfac torily. The bollermakers say that they base their action on two specific grievances, and that they are in possession of facts tending to show that the shipyards, in 2000 instances, have failed io comply with provisions of the Macey wage scale, whicli governs the salaries to be paid all workers employed in ship yards on Government contracts. One grievance, according to the boil ermakers' representatives, is that many of the shipyards are not paying the Macey scale of wages, and the other Is that companies paying this scale refuse to pay money due workers In back- pay since the Macey scale .be came effective. The scale which the bollermakers assert is not being adhered to was es tablished by a Federal wage adjust ment board of the United States Ship ping Board, headed by V. Everitt Ma cey, which conducted a long investiga tion of wage scale conditions in San Francisco last winter. INDUSTRIAL PEACE PLEDGED San Francisco Unions Guarantee Not to Tie Up War Work.

RECKON WE'RE MOVING ALONG, CHARLEY! Leader With Kerensky Has Programme. ENTENTE CO-OPERATION ASKED Strong Man Stands Out From Throng of Visionaries. LAND REFORM HIS HOBBY Former Minister of Agriculture Ad vocates Resuming War Against Germany and Social Revolution ists Expect Peasants to Rally. BY JAMES ODONNELL BENNETT. (Special to the Cblcazo Tribuna and Tha urtf onuuL J STOCKHOLM. July 14. The man a year ago singled out from the throng of Russian visionaries as "the man with a programme" again begins to loom large on the horizon of that distracted land. He is M. Tschernoff. former leader with Kerensky and Gotz, of the Social Revolutionists, but. unlike them, leaning toward the extreme left. a tendency, however, which the tragic events of the recent months are be lieved to have caused him somewhat to modify. Tschernoff was the Minister of Agri culture in the second and fourth revo lutionary cabinets, and in both he fought valiantly for a programme of radical land reform, with which his name is more identified than any other RuBsian revolutionary statesman's. Tschernoff Again to Front. Because his colleagues in the fourth cabinet shilly-shallied on land reform and delayed a sincere consideration of his measures, Tschernoff disgustedly left them last October; since when lit tle has been heard about him. But now again he comes forward. and for the identical reason that made him a man of mark before, namely, be. cause he was the foremost representa tive of the proposition that there can be no stable order in Russia until i drastic land reform has been accora plished. Many peasants are beginning to sus pect the Bolshevlki under present con dltlons cannot accomplish such re forms. Therefore, the Social Revolu tionist leaders believe the peasants will rally to Tschernofrs platform of actual land reform, thus simultane ously creating a nucleus for effective opposition to the Bolshevikl and for co-operation with the entente in re establishing the Russian war front against Germany. Proerramme Something; Tangible. It is Intensely characteristic of Tschernoff, the faculty for formulat ing a concrete programme and adher ing to it, that already he Social Revolutionists flocking to him have been able to seize his programme as something tangible amid the chaos and (Concluded on Page 3.

Government control of the tobacco industry may re sult from the heavy requirements of the allies and the American military forces abroad. Rationing of the Ameri can population is believed to be a pos sibility. Investigation has developed that the consumption of tobacco products in Great Britain is four pounds per capita; France, three .and one-half pounds; Italy, two pounds, and that shipments from the United States must be kept up if the short rations in the allied countries are not to be still further re duced. The average per capita con sumption of tobacco In thla country ia seven and one-half pounds per annum. Taxes on tobacco in Great Britain have been materially increased and large increases In price are reported from France. In the United States the price of leaf tobacco has advanced SO per cent since 1914. The crop of leaf tobacco In the Unit ed States in 1917 amounted to 1.196.- 000.000 pounds, of which 850.000.000 re main available for manufacture in 1918. Tobacco Issued to the military forces of England. France and Italy amounts or approximately 159.000.000 Dounds a year, the War Industries Board said. England and France each allot 40 per cent of their entire consumption, while Italy allows her military forces 45 per cent. The total yearly consumption of the entire populations of these countries, the board estimates at 387.000.000 pounds, or 41.000,000 more than this country Is able to export. Persons who pointed to possible Gov ernment control declared that it is more than probable that with the al lied armies consuming between 40 and 46 per cent of the total consumption In allied countries. American forces would use more than 60 per cent of the total amount used in the United States. FIRES NOW UNDER CONTROL Heavy Rains In Montana. Do Little Good in Idaho, However. MISSOULA.
