The letters are opened b! the BLACK
cabinet which is mostly manned 10y
sendarmerie officers. The post office can
not protest, because Russia has 10 spe-
ciai minister of posts. and all post offices
are subject To the ministry of the in
terior-that is. to the. department which
controls and instructs the .,hiacl5 cabi-

1t is estimated that AT least 1000 off
cii4is are engaged IN these cabinets. but
this number does not include the host of
auxiliary workers and letter Stealers.
VaSSili iresyatinSGE. AN ex-geidarIne
who is now making revelations. says that
the number is only leo, but that the
auxiliary workers number at least COCO.
The BLACK cabinets are governed by
tie. following rules: Firsj. that they
mus; open ali letters addressed to sus-
pecGcd persons or 10 persons who have
been convicted of political offenSes. This
rule is so well Known thai suspected men,
as far as il depends upon themselves. do
not have letters sent To them through
the post, They make exception to
this rGle when they want the police put
off the scent They write letters to
Themselves giving false appointments to
meet false addresses. etc.
They do this in the conviction that the
letters will be opened, and the police and
spies thus baffied. Desyatinsky says that
there are i1.0oo persons in Russia whose
letters are always opened. and he esti-
mates that at least 2.ns',Nlt such letters
are opened every yea.
