New Estimate of Jewish
Population in Russia

The Petersburger Zeitung. in SER
les of articles published in recent is
sues, takes up the problem of finding
ish population of Russia. In its first
article it put down with some conf
dence the number of Jews in Russia
at about 100000. Further researches
tend to confirm it in that opinion, but
also lead it to form far higher esti-
mate of the whole population of Rus
sia than the official figures would
show. This it puts down at the pres
ent da, as at least 155 ,2O6 900 souls.
The most striking part of these ar
ticles is that which deals with the
unreliability of the official figures. 1t
is pointed out that the census of 1907
was conducted under extraordinary
difficulties. Not 10 per cent. of the
population are capable of filling up
the census returns properly, and the
number of wasted returns was more
than !. million and half. Besides
this, there must have been an enor-
nous number Of people who, for var
iOus reasons. abstained from giving
their names. How much the mere ca
price or fancy of the officials may
have teen responsible for, it is impos-
sible to determine.
The one point on which the Peters,
burger Zietung insists is that the Jews
at present form Col per cent. of the
total population of Russia (not 4.O5.
as the official figures would IMPLY,
and that this percentage has risen
from 24O in 1928 and tends to rise
further. This figure of 6.01 is arrived
at by comparing the number of jew
ish recruits in the years 1SS9-1S94
(94 4.424) with the total number Of re-
cruits in the same period from all
Russia. excluding Finland 1,572.-
O23).

But scene of complete ruin met him
when he arrived there. Everything
had been destroyed by the mob The
very pillows had been torn to shreds
and thrown into the mud. "All that
l had saved for twenty-five years was
gone" said the father.
asked the father what he intended
doing in Canada. Il intend to go on
the soil, y was his reply.
But do you understand agriculture
"Oh, yes" with a smile). AS
matter of fact, some of the emigrants
are to be put to work on the land. and
others on the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway.
One more case is deserving of men,
tion, for it was the worst that the pres
ent writer came across among the few
of the refugees to whom he spoke. 1t
was ii case of a man aged 46. who had
his wife and number of children
with him. The man stated that he had
lived for eight years in the village of
Zlatunoy. On December 9Th last he
was suddenly informed by the magis-
trate that he must leave. 81 want no
Jews in this village" said this petty
tyrant. 81 hate them.
1t was in mid-winter that the order
to quit was given. The victim, who
had shop. and was the tenant of
ten-acre farm which he had sown
with wheat and barley, begged for
compassion. He pleaded the time of
the year: that he did not know what
to do with his property: and asked
for consideration for his wife and six
children. The only reply of the Off
cial was to send a subordinate to turn
him out of his house. The unfortu-
nate man. distracted with grief. there
upon went with his wife to the magis-
trate to beg once more for mercy. The
wife threw herself frantically at his
feet. But the only reply of the Off
cial was harsh: "Get up, woman!
You re mad
''Where shall we go?' the couple
pleaded
''Into the earth!'' was the scornful
reply.
''But our belongings, our little
property?'
''Throw them into the river!" said
the brutal official. II waste no pity
on Jews; they are dogs"
Brokenhearted, the man and his
wife went back home again. They
were followed by the peasantry and
police. who asked him where he in
tended to go. The man replied that he
did not know. The mob threatened to
throw him out of the place.
"You can easily do that he
answered. ''You are 200. and l am
single, weak man.
For brief space he obtained IA re-
spite from his fellow-villagers. But
the magistrate was ineXorable. The
Jew must go. SO one night-at mid
night-the man locked up his shop,
left ZlatunOy, and went with his fam
lily to a neighboring town. While his
back was turned his shop was attacked
and everything in it looted or smashed.
AS for the field and the wheat and the
barley, there was precious little that
the unhappy man reaped. The local
Panjandrum had decided that the Jew
must be ruined; and ruined he was.
These are but few of the eases

with two of them. Both could talk
English a little-they had learned it
at homeland one could even express
himself in French. One of these ex-
sOldiers-a man of distinctly military
appearance, who had served in the
cavalry for three years-stated that
after the expiration of his military
service, he settled down in village
as a baker Then one fine day. in the
early part of this year, the police
came along and gave him three days

fellow, taken aback at this mon
strous decree, asked for permission to
remain over the holidays, and went
to Bucharest to obtain rooms. In his
absence the peasantry broke into his
residence, destroyed his belongings.
and ruined him.
The second soldier was an artillery
man-tall enough for crack English
guards regiment. After leaving the
service, he settled in the village of
Valea-Satului. as administrator of
farm. Some months ago. however, he
received notice from the police to
clear out of the village within fifteen
days. Nothing-not even his SER
vices with the colors save hlm.

some forty or fifty other Jews were
ordered at the same time to begonc.
One poor fellow at the Shelter had
exercised the humble vocation of vii
lage tailor. But even he was appar-
entity regarded as II menace to the ma
tional welfare. They piled the taxes
on him. and, as he put it, he could not
earn his bread.
The ease of the man with ten chill
drcn, to whom reference has already
been made, is deplorable one. The
man is onl y forty-five years old-as
harmless and inoffensivc a person as
one could expect to see. He lived in
comfortable circumstances, for no
less than twenty-five years. in the vii
lagc Of Brehnjeshty. What with his
grocery shop and his work in the tim
ber business. he had managed to amass
sum of $1,000 francs-quite Il little
fortune for Roumanian villager. The
story of how he was reduced to ruin
is curious one. 1t appears the mag
istrate of an adjoining village sent for
him and informed him the project of
police had told him (the magistrate)
to send for the Jew and ADVISE him
to leave his village. The Jew was nat
urally surprised at this friendly inter

you some money!

that he was merely desirous of pro-

wards his village. lie need only
leave lis shop for It few days. SO the
poor fellow, in his perpleXity, thought
the best thing to do was to take the
magistrates advice. He thereupon
sent peasant to his shop, to conduct

other children he instructed to come

TAFT ON LABOR

In an address on Capital and
Labor" delivered in Seattle, Sec.
Taft took occasion, during his dis
cussion of their relations, to defend
his position on injunction,t which
has caused criticism from the labor
unions. Taft defended the process
of injunction on the ground that it
is process for the prevention of
lawlessness: preventative rather
than a cure, and, as such, much
more effective than any other pro-
cess of law. However, he con-
demned the ex parte injunction, ia
voring the issuance of an injunc-
tion only after both sides had been
heard and the fact established that
violence was contemplated.
He ais denounced the boycott
as illegal and un-American, while
warmly defending the right OF the
wOrkingman to strike. He praised
the labor unions for the work they
have accomplished.
Taft urged equal justice for
both capital and labor, and answer
ed at length the arguments of So
cialiSm.
