Many of the victims during the poyrom
days are still lying here. The Polish au-
thorities do not permit to have them
buried in the Jewish cemetery. They fear
a demonstration. Among the sixty-five or
seventy Jews who were massacred in
Wilma there were perhaps two Bolsheviki
and they were killed by accident, not as
BolsheviHd but as Jews. The real Bolshe-
Wiki managed to escape. Both the Polish
and Jewish Bolshcviki crossed the front
by bribing the Polish soldiers. The Polish
Bolsheviki who did not want to go back
to the Bolshevist ranks stayed in Wilma
unmolested. 1t was n real Polish Jewish
posrom. 1t may be called a pogrom in

New York. Saturday
~ ONE day the psychologists will get to-
gether and decide what It is in New
0York that makes most of the Greeks
here walters and most of the lrishmen
policemen. But the most interesting racial
problem will undoubtedly be the solution Of
the Russian question. why is 1t that Rus
sian laborers dominate the house wrecking
industry Lower middle class English
men-if there is any such class--make good
buffers. They like to serve They have
been brought up on serving. Light hearted
Italians. make good organ grinders. They
like the sound of the music themselves
Russian laborers make good house wreck
ers. They seem to enjoy tearing down raf-
tiers and brick walls. ~
It is little unfair to the conservatives
and the antiBolshevists to tag them with
the word house wreckcrs." But any red
blooded Russian who so desires can find
employment with house wrecking estab-
hshment. He can dernolish residences, gar
ages and office buildings. He can tear
down steel beams and church steepies. 1t
takes little longer than dynamite and
bombs. but it achieves the same result. 1t
is destructive, yet in the end 1t achieves a
good result. Any one with mind for de-
struction can satisfy his cravings without
Turing profession for men with pugilistic
tastes.-or for Russians.
There is a Union of House Wreckers
which is composed almost entirely of Rus
SLAMS.
While there are nearly million Jewish
immigrants from Russia and the smaller
nations in the vicinity of the land formerly
ruled by the Tsars, there are only forty
thousand real Russians in New York OF
these eighty-five per cent are men. Russian
women do not come to America as rule
Most Of these forty thousand are laborers
They are strong. sturdy men. They like
outdoor work for the most part, although
there are good many Russian tailors and
garment workers. Then, following the lead
of the Greeks, many Russians work in res
taurants.
Also Make Pianos.
Russians as rule are good linguists.
They are valuable in restaurants where for
eigners eat. Many of them also work in
the kitchen. Aside from these two occupa-
tons Russian Iaborers seek the open air
and work where strong men are needed.
In addition to wrecking houses they be-
come dock workers. Another profession
where many Russians are to be found Is
piano Iuakbg. They string piano wires
and work at cabinet making.
But to return to the idea of house wreck
ing. While the Immigrants from other
countries may unite to fight conditions that
assail them in the New World, the Russians
divide to create few additional conplt

sure TO be a group OF antagonists. Some
groups are positive. others negative; but 1t
really matters little which side 4 Russian
is on so long as he has chance to argue.
The French. it Is said, have made an art
Of conversation. The Russians In America 1t
appears. are trying to make an art of argu-
mentation. So far the artistic standard
has not reached very high level. but it is
rapidly getting away from caveman tactics.
Formerly at Russian political meetings in
New York there were invariably dozen
fist fights Now the number Is occa-
sionally as low as two or three.
But at all events the Russians like to
talk. They speak of their souls as freely
as an American would speak OF his bust
ness connections. And their imaginations
run to the widest excesses

far as books were concerned He had read
everything worth while from philosophy to
the humorous magazines. But l always

he felt hungry. 1t is an almost impossible
type to an American. He was an intel!
Iectual aristocrat, but he had the bearing
and the social polish Tor lack of it, of

But to revert to the house wrecking
characteristics of the Russians there is one
place where Russians meet ON peaceable
terms. 1t is a little restaurant In West
Thirty-seventh street called the Russian
Inn. 1t is a headquarters for all parties and
their antagonists. Apparently the New
York Russians cannot eat and fight at the
same time. Or perhaps it is matter of
etiquette. Probably it is considered bad
form to quarrel in restaurant.

A wonderful amount of work was

week and the first of this one in these
parts. Two trips in different parts of
the county reveal that great deal of
the crop has been worked out and the
condition is by no means as alarming
as it looked two weeks ago while it is
far from satisiact ry at the present
