10 RUSSIAN LABOR TO PROSECUTE WAR "Liberty and Victory" Now Is Cry of People in the Streets Hy Associated Press IVtrugrsd, March 28, via London, March 29. —A declaration in support of the war has been Issued by a com mittee of worklngtnen, soldiers and deputies, which apparently repreSepts (lie sober conclusion which the masses of the population have reached, after being swayed this way and that by the turbulent currents and cross-currents which swept through the country in the first days of the revolution. This conclusion is that liberty and victory over the Germafis are Inseparable arid that the responsibility for plunging Europe into war rests on the Hohenzol lern family and Prussian Imperialistic ambitions. The tendency is to regard the war tio longer as a struggle between na tions, but as one between the new Spirit of democracy and the old spirit of imperialism. The people are eagerly desirous of Deace, but are ready to de vote redoubled energy to war if that is the on)v way of achieving it. Even the dissentient voice of the extreme imperialist element, which at first openly declared itself against war and counseled the soldiers to lay down their arms lias been drowned In the universal cry that the struggle must continue. The result of this broader under standing of the object for which the country Is fighting has been to bring the extreme radicals into unison with the rest of the country. Reassuring reoorts of the visit of Minister of War Guchkoff to the front continue to be received. Everywhere the army re sponded with the greatest enthusiasm to these appeals and declared itself ready to continue fighting until the end. The same spirit is manifested in Petrograd where there are daily pro cessions cf troops carrying banners in scribed: "Liberty and Victory."

The Governor telegraphed to the President the pledge of support by the committee ahd announced the ad dition of ex-Governors Edwin 8. Stuart und Tener to the committee. Ho also sent to Chairman Pepper some, sug gestions lo organize committees 0:1 food supply and geological resources and to select men representing the State Grange, organized labor and scientific bodies 01 the State. Plans were made to-day for fhe Governor and his military staff to at tend the great patriotic mass meeting In Philadelphia on Sathi'day at which the chief city of the State tfill pledge Its loyalty. Cnfler authority conferred upon him Governor Brumbaugh announced to day that he proposed to organize S4 sub-committees of public safety In us many sections of the State, remarking that he planned to organize "every inch of ground and every man, woman and child." Governor's Suggest ions The Governors suggestions to Mr. Pepper were as follows: "After thinking over the actions of yesterday, J am altogether pleased with the general outcome and believe that we have gone a long way in ail effective organisation for real and sub stantial good. Might I suggest the wisdom now of securing Some initial fund by appeal to the members of this commission, that will enable us im mediately to put a staff of trained workers, which 1 have assembled anil have ready, lor action, into the field to begin this industrial inventory'.' "There are at least two additional organizations that ought to be prompt ly recognized in the scheme or organ ization for our committee on Public Safety, (1), a committee on agricul tural products and food supply, and (2), a committee on geological re sources, having in mind all the mineral deposits of Pennsylvania that might be available and necessary in a crisis. "We ought in connection with these two matters to secure the hearty co operation of the State Grange and labor organizations and the scientific bodies of the State, and I shall have in mind the naming of men to the com mittee representative of these inter ests." The executive committee will take into consideration at once the project to put the AViliam Penn and the Lin coln highways across the State in con dition for military purposes. To Safegtulrd Food Supply One of the things to Which the Gov ernor is giving special attention is the discussion of the food supply, mobili zation of agricultural resources in other Words. This was brought to the attention of the meeting yesterday by Commissioner of Health Dixon and President E. 13. Sparks of State Col lege, who said that every effort should be made to turn the fields of the State into poductiveness to Jneat the food Situation. Dr. Dixon, who is a practical farm er, among him varied activities, said to-day that he considered this to be a matter of prime importance and he suggested that It be brought to atten tion of every farmer and land owner. State Treasurer Y'jung said this af ternoon that he considered that a sub ject which should be given immediate attention by people conversant with the situation. "The meeting was a wonderful one, one which 1 shall never forget. I never knew of such a gathering or of such united senti ment," said the Treasurer In speaking of it. Patton's Call to Arms Secretary of Agriculture Patton this afternoon took steps to call to atten tion of the farmers and merchants and housewives of the State the food situ ation, urging that not only should everything be raised that could be grown, but that it should be preserved. He called attention to the shortage of food which is in prospect and to the prices prevailing. The canned goods supply, he said, will soon be exhaust ed and everyone should guard against it. Mr. Patton has had his crop re porters and statisticians at work for weeks getting information o ntlie situ ation in regard to food and set forth his views in the following statement issued late to-day: The Governor's telegram to the President was as follows: A committee of Public Safety for Pennsylvania, made up of over two hundred representative and influential citizens met here yes terday on invitation of the Gov ernor and pledged their services to organize Pennsylvania for com plete preparedness and to support the National government in every patriotic endeavor. The Governor issued this statemtnt I find that through inadvertence Edwin S. Stuart and John K. Tener, ex-Governors of this Com monwealth, were not appointed on the State Committee of Public Safety for Pennsylvania. Ex-Gov ernor William A. Stone would have been appointed on this com mittee were it not for the fact that his judicial position exonerates him from holding such a position. A Wonderful Meeting People who saw the meeting yester day joined with Governor Brumbaugh, State Treasurer Young, Commissioner Dixon and others In praising the splendid sentiment in behalf of mo bilizing the manhood and resources of the Commonwealth to meet the shock of war. The Governor said that he considered the meeting one of the most remarkable ever held in he State and that he appreciated the sacri fices made by captains of business in coming here and what they offered to do. "It wll get the great business sys tem of this State behind the movement for preparedness and place the State In the rank it has always taken In every national emergency," said the Governor. "I have been thfilled by the spirit manifested at the meeting and expect great good to result not oftly in the event of war, but for the future to come from it. Important matters were brought up on which t' e people will think." Food, !{<m<N and Labor It is likely that serious attention will be given at once to the food supply problem tnd to-day Highway Com missioner Black discussed with the Governor plans to push the work of repair on the main highways, notably in agricultural regions so that things needed could be brought to market as soon as available. The employment bureau of the De partment of Labor and Industry Was brought Into the pr¶tdry work to-day and its reoords of persons seek ing work and the Centers where men and wtjmen Who are fatnillar With cer tain lines of work are to be located. Consultations will be held wlthh la bor representatives so that the skilled and unskilled men may be listed and be prepared for the calls which may come because of emergency in trans portation, construction or repair. Or ganized labor representatives have pledKed to the Governor their co-op eration with the committee. The Governor's office was in touch with men all over the State to-flay in the effort to get names of men -who could -be called upon- to servo OD-<;QJ mlftees or who could give specialized assistance.
