RUSS RULERS FACE REVOLT AS RADICALS BREAK OUT

(By Associated Press) While the greatest battle In history continues to rage in bloody fury in northern France, the riddle of Russia has presented a new phase with a menaced counter-revolution of staggering possibilities. For the moment the provisional gov eminent has the npper hand but the voice of the radicals grows louder and more threatening every day, demanding concessions which would make the existence ot an organised government impossible. Currents of Intrigue Plow. ' The wild currents of Intrigue and dissatisfaction which are in evidence in Petrogred are the more confusing , as the opponents of the revolutionary I government offer no coherent program and seem to have no common aim. The capital Is boisterously vocal but back of it, the vastnesses of Russia lie silent .with net a hint to tell of what the masses of the people are thinking or doing. .An indication of the Ger- ; man view of the situation is given by a report that the best German troops have been withdrawn from the eastern front, ' their places being taken by landstunn and landwehr divisions. Base Attack on Note. As far as news dispatches indicate the radical insurgents in Petrograd are basing their attack on the .May day Bote sent to the allies by foreign secretary Mllukoff, re-afflrmlng Russia's determination to fulfill her obligations to the entente and vigorously prosecute the war against Germany. The provisional government has energetically supported this position and the ministers declare they will resign rather than modify the stand taken by Mllukoff. 1 On the battle front in France there is no sign as yet of a decisive issue to the tremendous battle which is raging day and night along' a 100-mile front. The French have battered their way a little closer to Laon and have stormed one of the great natural fortresses guarding the southern end of the Hindenburg line.

BOBBINS PLANS

Continued From Page One. Bavls. "I am in the north now for the purpose of finding. markets which my co-operative organization can directly supply without our produce passing through the hands of brokers and commission men. "If the City of Richmond will enter into an agreement with our organization we will furnish first grade produce which can be retailed at prices ranging from twenty-five to one hundred percent less than the prices your retailers now have to ask. "If the city does not care to take over this proposition then let the retail grocers of this city effect" a cooperative organization for the purpose of buying directly all the southern produce they use. This organization of local retailers could be conducted under municipal supervision. I think the retailer is entitled to a twenty per cent profit and under the direct purchase plan he can handle southern produce at such a rate of profit at the same time greatly reducing the cost to the consuming public. Let me state that the retailers are not to blame for current high prices. They are the victims of brokers and commission dealers." . Gives Grocers First Chance. After the meeting Mayor Robbins

announced today that the retail grocers" of this city would 'be given the first opportunity of reducing the cost of garden produce under a plan which would be profitable tp them, adding that if they did not take such action arrangements would be made to have the city purchase and sell such commodities at the market house. Most of the produce marketed in Richmond is purchased by local commission firms from commission dealers ; In Cincinnati, Indianapolis . and other large cities. The commission dealers in these cities purchase, as a rule, from produce brokers, who, in turn, purchase from southern commission firms. Each of these middlemen, it is alleged, have been making such large profits that the price of produce now is exhorbitant. - Producer and User 8uffer "The producer does not get much for his produce and the producer suffers as a result of the astonishingly high prices the consumer has to pay for garden truck," Mr. Davis informed the mayor and Mr. Bavls. "We now want to deal direct with the retailers. Under this plan prices will be greatly reduced and the producer will be benefited because a larger market for his produce will be provided." " What " the "middlemen's profits" have done to produce prices and how these prices can be reduced under the direct purchase plan is shown by the following data supplied to the city officials by the Gulf Coast Produce Exchange's representative: Green beans were quoted here today at 15 cents a pound. At Indianapolis today they are being put down f. o. b., at 7 cents per pound.
