Vodka is another thing which I'M
dermines the staying power of the
Russian workman. 1t is almost the
universal custom for the workman
to get drunk as soon as he is paid
off. There are not many bars in st.
Petersburg, as the government seeks
to restrict this form of drinking,
but there are thousands of places
where vodka can be bought by the
flask or bottle. The peasant will
buy a bottle for about 25 cents and
take it out into the street Should
he drink it publicly the police would
stop him and take the liquor away,
so he sneaks into a doorway and
drinks about half of the bottle. He
goes on, more or less unsteadily,
and after little sinks into another
doorway and finishes the bottle. BY
that time he is drunk-hopelessly,
miserably drunk, and unless some
friends turn up to carry him home
he is carted off and dumped into a
police station until he becomes sober
Monday morning the factories never
expect more than half of their
workmen to turn up The other half
