A former American, manageress of

We joined the. paraders going

ex-Czar Nicholas first heard that he

In the station yard Commissar
Antonoff made speech. He told
us that the workers of ENGLAND, Am

Russians, free from the yoke of cap

work.
Carrying Rails
For four hours we carried railroad
ties and steel rails, while the women
went to decorate the graves of men
who had died for the revolution.
At first the work was taken as a
joke and the Russians laughed and
talked as though playing game.
Then they began grumbling. AND

Finally the women and girls re-
turned and we all marched back to
the Trade Union House, once the
governors mansion.
Here we got meal tickets.

the Bolshevik transport department,
addressed me as follows:
