The matter referred to by one Of
the pastors in Montpelier last week
Sunday morning relative to a family
not living under proper conditions was
reported TO the city council by Alder
man Kelly, who had made an investi-
cation Of the place. 1t was referred
to the charity committee and overseer
TO improve conditions. 1t is a case of
an aged woman and a 10-year-old child
living in cellar. While this had been
known by persons in the city no report
had been made TO the officials concern
ing the matter until recently. The
board Of charities also made an inves-
tigation Of the conditions.

Jews IN RUSSIA
!. CRUELTY TREATED
Regarded by GentiIes as
: Coolies" Says
Writer.

LONDON, October 1.-The fate of
The Jews in Russia is anything but
AN enviable one. says an article in the
current number OF the Zionist Bulletin.
According to the writer, 9S per cent
of the forced laborers in Kharkov are
Jews. who are treated brutally. The
gentiles about them are coming to
regard them as "a coolie caste. and
they are shot at least as freely as
other Russians for counter revolu-
tionary activity.
Before the war. the article explains.
about S. per cent of the Jews in Rus
STA were engaged in commerce. and
most of the remainder were artisans
or factory workers. When the soviet
government closed down private COM
ism, most of the -JewS lost their 1iveli-
hood. Most of the non-Jewish Rus
slams. who were likewise made desti-
:tute. turned to farm labor, and have
been able to serape along. but Rus
sian villagers, stepped in centuries of
anti-semitism. would not tolerate Jewish
settlers among them.
While the soviet government barred
actual pogroms. il has not insisted on
access to the land being given to the
from their counting houses. says the
writer. SO when forced labor came in
last March, a very large number of
Jews were visibly "unproductive per-
sons" and ripe for Industrial con-
scription. or for death, if they OBJ
jected
Almost all the Jews were entered
as of no occupation irrespective of
whether they knew a trade or not"
says the writer in the Bulletin. "A
terrible hunt began for the Jewish
masses by red soldiery, with the
willing help of the anti-semites. The
Jews were shut up in the courtyards
of the labor barracks and had to camp
day and night in the open, almost
without food. The compulsory work
consists mainly in the heaviest kind
of labor. such as road building and
the cleansing out of dirty places in
town and country"

OHIO PLEA FOR COAL.
Utilities Commission Wires I. c. C.
to Divert Coal to That State.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. October 1.-The
Ohio public utilities commission has
wired the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington asking i'm
mediate revision of the coal priority
orders under which New England and
the northwest are receiving coal
which normally supplies Ohio con-
SINNERS.
Extreme suffering will prevail in
Ohio homes unless the orders are
modified to permit shipments to meet
current domestic needs until the close
of the navigation season." the tele-
gram asserted. Prompt action is
vitality necessary, it declared.
This action is taken by the Ohio
commissioners Independently of those
of Indiana and Michigan, who met in
Columbus several weeks ago to out
line plans along the line indicated,
but who have as yet taken no action.
