WOMEN OBJECT TO
NATURALIZATION
Law Is Suspended in One Prov.
ince of Northeastern Russia
Ubiquitous System

London, April q. Correspondence OF
the Associated Press).-The law providing
for the naturalization of women In north.
east Russia has been suspended in one
province as the result of popular cutlery,
according to information reaching Lon.
don from Stockholm.
The commissar of Vladimir has, by
decree. appointed a committee of women
who are to inquire into the operations of
the law. and make report with the
least possible delay. His action has been
approved by the local soviet.
The Kirasnaya Gazeta publishes an ac-
count of the results of naturalization.
The system provides that every girl on
reaching the age of Is must register her
name In the bureau of free love, after
which she is compelled to select a partner
from among men between Is and so years
OLD. The law led to lamentable confusion
says the Gazeta in Judicial notions as
to personal involability''
few days after the soviet's decree,
which every woman very generally ig-
nored, two men, known to nobody, ar
rived In the town and seized the two
daughters of a well known non-bour-
geois comrade," declaring they had chosen
I them as wives and that the girls, without
further ceremony, must submit, as they
nd not observed the registration rules.
"Comrads Yablonovsk and Guriakin,"
who sat as judges on the claim decided
the men were right, ana the girls were
hurried off They have not since been
heard Of by the village folk
This says the Gazeta was done in the
name of the naturalization of women.
Many other instances of the fantastic
operation of the law not to speak of its
inhumanities, are cited by the Gazeta.
Enthusiasts for naturalization, naturally
all males, raid whole villages, seize young
girls and demand proof that they are not
over Is. As this proof is difficult to give,
many Of the girls are carried off, and
there have been suicides ana murders as a
result.
In the town of Kovrov, a campaign
without parallel since the Trojan wal
was waged between the vengeful rel-
atives of an abducted nationalized girl
and her prosecutors
In this town the register of ma
tionali2ed women was opened on De-
ccmber /, but up to September 1, last
only 2 women, both of 40 and neither
of whom has ever been married, regis
tered themselves as willing to accept
the first husband the State sent along.
