GREAT RUSSIA
STRONGEST Of
SLAV NATIONS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 24,-The
Great Russians are the first of Sla-
vonic peoples, and the history of their
rise is the history of the growth Of
the mighty Slavonic Empire. There
are Little Russians, White Russians,
Red Russians, Cossacks, and scores of
widely varying peoples within the
confines of the Muscovite realm, but
Great Russia is the cradle of real
Russians and the source Of Russian
progress and greatness. OF this
people of the vast modern nation,
a bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic Society at Washington says:
Before all other Slavonic peoples,
those of Great Russia have succeeded
in building the most powerful, the
most enduring and the most promfs
ing of empires. Great Russia COM
prehends that part of the empire
which is bounded by the Polar Seas
upon the north, by the Ural Noun
tains upon the east, Novgorod and
Kursk upon the south. and the Polish
and Baltic Provinces upon the west.
Within these confines has grown up
the power that, today, has brough into
being the mightiest of all empires
welded behind one unbroken border.
"The nucleus of Great Russia in
cluded a narrow region, with Kursk,
Smolensk, Novgorod, Vologda, Mini
Novgorod and Tamboy as its bound
aries. Moscow is the heart of this
region, the inspiration in the develop
ment of the dominant Russian. From
this central region, growing outwards,

slowly, but steadily, through centur-
les; much as in the case of the indi-
vidual of the north and in strong
contra-ristinction to the nations OF
the south, they have come to their
prime late. Today Russia has reach
ed a majority that is filled with un-
bounded promise.
THE Great Russian has a touch Of
Finnish and of Tartar blood, the one
making him little more phlegmatic,
a little tougher than his other Sla
yonic brothers, and the other giving
him a quality of thrift, making him
better housekeeper, than is the free
handed Pole, Little Russian and Ser
Wan. The Firms at one time lived all
along the Volga valley, while the Tar

is not suggested.
Union officials are not interviewed.
The one-sided view of a police de-
partment, notorious for its direct
connections with criminals, designat-
ed by the states attorney as the pro-
tector of ''crime trust" is not par
aIlelled with views of union officials,
or, better, yet, impartial bystanders.
And so whether Trust Press editors
and publishers do so Willingly or not,
the further fact stands that they are
the abettor from day to day of sit
uation in which police declare mar
tial law in certain districts, override
the rights of petition and assemblage,
and get away with it, unscathed of
criticism
Here is the story of one outsider
and what she saw and heard
last Wednesday afternoon. This is :
only specimen. Somewhat like sto-
ries with only the names, dates and
numbers different, have been told by
Mrs. James Morrison, Mrs. Medill Nc
Cormick, Maud Cain Taylor, Mrs. Al
bert H. Sweitzer, Mrs. Charles E.
Merriam, Mrs. Dunlap Smith and
other women of repute who have
been on the picket line. So we enter
here as a matter of history, if moth
ing else, what happened to Ellen
Gates Starr when she arrived at
Ederheimer & STEMS garment shop
at Kedzie av. and 22d st, after what
the police call riot:

was told that these dirty Russian

HSoSSS duu -IACtl VI SulDllIyJ !GI IlIlS
important fact be stated:
NOT ONE CITY POLICEMAN OR
PRIVATE POLICEMAN HAS BEEN
SHOT NOR HAS SHOWN ANY
MARKS OF VIOLENT HANDLING
BY STRIKERS.
Though the police have told many
stories of riots and assaults, the
stiff and sinister fact stands up that
ALL DEATHS, BLoODSHED, HUN
GER, WOUNDS, SUFFERING AND
DEPRIVATION IN THIS STRIKE
HAVE BEEN SUFFERED BY PER-
SONS OUTSIDE THE POLICE DE-
PARTMENT.
One striker was shot to death by a
strikebreaker, who may or may not
be a private policeman, the facts be-
ing kept under cover by Chief
Schuettler. Two strikers are in hos
pital with revolver shot wounds from
private police. On gunplay, and at
those points where the highest pitch
of violence has been reached, the rec
ord thus shows that the city and the
private police officers are the advo-
Gates and practitioners of the vio-
lence that results in bIoodshed.
A second fact of Importance: Pub
lie opinion is formed by newspapers.
Outside of The Day Book only one
daily newspaper in Chicago (The
HeraId) has stated that the views of
Ellen Gates Starr, Mrs. MediH McCor-
mick, Mrs. James Morrison and the
clubwomen interested in the strike
are woNth belief equal to the word of
Chief Schuettler.
That powerful machine known as
The Trust Press is thus almost a unit
in shaping public opinion to favor the
police and to discredit the strikers.
If mysterious act of violence is
committed, such as smashing the
windows of strikebreaker's home,
The Daily News and The Tribune
publish the police version of it. The
Impression gains that the strikers did
