Increase of Poverty.
The concentration OF capital has
greatly damaged the village industry

operator everywhere. The managers Of
the cooperative enterprises found that
they were forced to take less and less
for their toll until they became so poor
that they could hardly realize the bare
necessities of life Every member OF

thing to contribute to the family in

a boy gets to be 16 or II years of ge

only advantage of the union beng that
the girls labor goes to the household TO
which she has been joined.
The art of cotton spinning and cot
ton weaving is an old institution in
Russia. For generations it did not ad-
vance beyond the cottage industry
stage. the yarn being distributed among
the peasants to be worked " n their
homes, but later it became mOdernized.

cloth factories operating on small

conditions of that period a writer says:

At the present time eighty-three ger

is larger now than when the above was

TO keep life in their bodies. 1t is not
surprising that people who are i'm

should join in revolutionary schemes
