SHANGHAI, Feb. 9-Fear of Boil
shevism entertained by employees in
Shanghai is a factor which is making
more difficult the hard lot of the hun

out of Siberia into China.
The growing colony of these Rus
sian refugees, whose numbers swell
ed after the Siberian capital of Omsk
fell into the hands of the Bolsheviki,
has become a problem in the city of
Shanghai. One handicap upon their
efforts to obtain employment has been
the reluctance of employers to give
work to persons from Siberia believed
to have been exposed to the Bolshevik
| Infection.
Members of the colony here which

being taught to the newcomers. Al

weeks volunteer teachers came for
