The All-Russian Agricultural Workers Union

The All-Russian Union of Agricultural Work
ers as at present constituted is of recent origin
and growth. 1t was not until after the revolution
Of October 1917 that they saw the necessity of
allying themselves with the city workers, the
land workers were also carried away with the
general revolutionary enthusiasm prevailing at
that time. Until the revolution Of 1917 the agri-
cultural workers of Russia had no union of their
own, neither during the time of the old Russian
feuda system nor during the period of growth Of
the capitalist regimes. Some attempts to organize
the Agricultural workers were made during the
revolutionary movement of 1904-5; the union of
the workers of Boutirsky Farm in Moscow, can be
quoted as an example, but these were of a scatter
ed improvised character, without any general plan
or aim; they had no serious influence upon the
development of the Agricultural workers organ
Mation.
Only after the February revolution of 1917
were small unions of agricultural workers started,
chiefly in the neighborhood Of the capital and the
near industrial Centres. This fact can only be eX-
planned by the influence of the industrial prole-
tarians Of the Trade-Union who were constantly

revolutionary spirit. But all these unions were of
very primitive character both in their form of
organization and in the aims they pursued. In the
first place they lacked experience of organization
which was very Marked and secondly the in
fluence of the compromising leaders, who were
mostly of the socialist revolutionary type with their
narrow bourgeois ideals and their agrarian pro-
gram full of contradiction and COMMISSIONS
These unions in the period of their development
during the February revolution, aimed mainly at
protecting their craft interests, not reaising that
the problem confronting agricultural workers was
the OWNERSHIP and organization of production
Only in October 1917 was an end put to this
position and the illusions of craft unionism were
thrown aside and first place was given to the pro-
blem of securig working class ownership and
organization of the industry on communist prn
ciples. From this moment revival took place in

the various Agricultural Workers Unions which
were in existence. The organization Of new Unions
were soon started in districts populated by
an agricultural proletariat.
The Composition and structure Of the Union.
The main task of the first Central Committee
was to organize the working masses, to attract
them into the Union and to set up proper ap-
paratus. According to the rules, all agricultural
wage workers are eligible for membership in the
union At the present time the union is composed
of workers and employees on the Soviet Farms
agricultural orchards cattle breeding, dairies,
experimental stations) laborers as well as special
lists working on the Soviet estates ana serving in
tn Central and Local governmental districts,
(agricult orchards cattle breeding FARMS dairies,
surveyors, etc.
The union is organized on industrial lines, there
fore the workers and employees in auxiliary
trades serving the Soviet Farms j. e. workers in
mills blacksmith shops; also members of other
trades, saddlers, carpenters, joiners, locksmiths
tyers, coopers, shoemakers tailors, are eligible
for membership
On the first Of January 1920 the number Of
paying members in the union were $4,000; but
this is only Approximate because many local Sec
tions did not give any information owing to the
great distance and bad communications. The prob
able number of members is nearer 100 900 Accord
ing to the data of the Commissariat of Agricul-
ture this number Of workers were employed on
Soviet Farms alone. AS the membership is oD-
ligatory, it is quite clear that that number of
members could not be less than the number of
workers employed in the industry
The Congress organized and drew up scheme
for organizing several sections of the union: such
as Agricultural, Horticultural, Forestry, Land
Surveying ETC. but it soon became evident that
such subdivision was unnecessary and was there
fore abandoned. The land surveyors particularly
urged the need for their section, but even they
eventually abandoned this position, and the Bu-

the basis OF the reports recommending
the conditions upon which the American
Navy should cooperate with the allies.
Commander Babcock was constantly
at my elbow during all these consulta-
tons. and was all the time independents

eral departments Of the admiralty. The

British government--and all this with
such an absence of diplomatic formal

and genuine kindness that he immedi-

miration but our personal affection.
During all this period events of the
utmost Importance were taking place .
1t was within these four months that
the convoy system was adopted. that
armed guards were placed on merchant
ships, that the first American troops
were escorted to France. and that our
destroyers and other warships began
arriving in European waters. In July
1t became apparent that the strain of

had been continuous during the past
four months, could no longer be sup

him to the London headquarters. This
proceeding was necessary if our essen
tial administrative work was to be
done. We also obtained two valuable
workers. Stockton and Kittredge. men
who had been serving under Hoover in
Belgium.
Among the reserves who began to
be assigned to our forces, many ex-

Many men have made vital contribu-
