G0MPERS GETS PICTURE,
OF INDUSTRIAL RUSSIA
Disorder in One Factory Is Called
Indescriba ble-Food
Full of Straw.

Protests against oppression Of
trades unionists by the bolshevist
government in Russia and an appeal
to the workers of America from the
PrinteFs' Union Of Moscow are con-
tained In . letter received by Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor and pub
1ished in the American Federationist
I Other documents and letters re-
ceived from Russia, showing the con-
ditions existing in soviet Russia, also
were published. A graphic account
OF the Russia of today is contained
in the report Of William Dittman, a
socialist. who. with a party Of Ger
man independent socialists, took adj
vantage of passports into Russia to
make a 6rst-hand Investigation.
The Dittman report deals particu-
larly with the treatment accorded
German metal workers who went into
Russia with the understanding that
they would have charge Of the man
agement themselves of a small fEc.
tory. They found, however, that fts
management consisted Of q carpenter,
q baker and q clerk. The German dele
gates were informed that the factory
council II an organization Of metal
workers trade union. composed Of five
members. but that 1t has nothing to
do with the management Of the fac
tory. 1t occupies itself with protecting
the workers and maintaining disci-
pline. The hours Of labor are from
$3.50 am. to 1880 pm. and from pm.
to 5:30 pm.
The factory. it u reported. is en-
ploying only 5000 men, as compared
to 1900 formerly. The state Of dis
order in the factory is declared to be
fndescribable. Russian workers fre-
Quently lay down their tools and
smoke cigarettes and gossip for halt
an hour or more at time. The food
is declared to be uneatable and full
of hRshed straw. Wages are as high
as II 900 or 10000 rublcs a month. but
with butter costing $500 rubles a pound
and other foodstuffs almost as dear
the wages are insufficient. The Ger
man workers were deprived Of thefp
passports and prevented from send
ing letters to Germany. according to
the Dittman report.

WOMEN IN PULPlTS.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., November 81.
The board of bishops OF the Metho-
dish Episcopal Church announced to-
night that one Of the leading subjects
of their conference today was the
consideration Of the problem that

for the ministry. 1t was decided the
bishops should strive here and in the
foreign fields to utilize the various
church agencies. such as the deacon
esses, to serve in some degree as
substitute for ministers where pulpits
cannot be supplied.
The bishops. however. state that
this does not mean that women will
be licensed to serve as lay preachers.

RYAN COMES HERE
! IN FIGHT ON BANKS
Wall Street War Suggested
as He Seeks Conference
With Controller.

NEW YORK, November p (by the
Associated Press).-Allan A. Ryan
went to Washington today to confer
with John Shelton Williams. con-
troller of the currency. after bankers
and attorneys at a conference here
considered plans for the formation of
a committee to inquire into Mr.. Ryan's
affairs
Mr.. Ryan declined to make state
ment, but said Mr.. Williams might
have something to say to the public
after his conference with him in
Washington. His only comment on
the report that the banks intended
to take care of his assets to protect
his obligations to them was 1.-The story
was inspired"
He denied that he was either in
financial difficulties or facing them,
and characterized as a joke reports
to that effect.
"1f I'm broke" he declared, "all the
banks are broke
Mr.. Ryan'S reported intention to
take up with Controller Williams his
relations with the banks was inter-
preted in financial circles here. to mean
that he might start a war on the Wall
street banks.
His conference with the controller
was regarded as significant in view
of Mr.. Williams criticism of Wall
street national banks for what he re-
garded as excessive rates for call
loans made for stock exchange pur-
poses.
The action of the bankers is said to
be merely a protective one, taken to
safeguard their loans, and because
the collateral on which loans were
made had decreased considerably in
value through declines on the stock
market.
Different representatives of banks,
1t is said, admitted that MIR. Ryan's
assets were sufficient to take care of
each bank in question, while others
declarations were to the effect that
Mr.. Ryan's assets were much greater
than his total obligations to the
banks.

EVERY FLOWER
HASASTORY
ALL ITS OWN
TIE PASSION FLOWER.

The passion flower is symbolic Of
religious superstition. When the
Spanish missionaries, following in
the steps OF the invaders OF South
America, discovered the gorgeous
passion flower, they deemed II to be
sent them as an aid in converting the
natives TO the Christian religion.
The flower is dedicated TO AL
Saints day.
At the request Of Quenn Victoria, a
wreath Of passion flowers was laid
upon the grave OF Abraham Lincoln.
The Interpretation.
The Spanish missionaries thought
1t TO be the most wonderful illus
tration OF the cross triumphant in
The nature world. The following
symD0lical Interpretation was given:
The column rising from the center
Of the flower, represents the beam OF
the cross, while the small stems
above II represent the nails. Above
the column is the corona which SYM
bOlizes the crown OF thOrns, while the
veil Of fine hairs, amounting Of 72,
signifies the number OF thorns.
The seed vessel is the sponge filled
with vinegar, which quenched thirst
ul tut odNttuIs dlu Llit i've, NlNlu
red spots upon each Of the leaves are
His 1--WE wounds. Because OF this,
the Spaniarcs call it the flower OF the
five wounds.
What Sepals Represent
The five sepals and the flve petals
are the ten apostles, Judas, the be-
trayer. and Peter, who denied the Sa-
vlOr, being omitted.
The leaves. being set singly on the
stem, signify that there is but one
God, but testify to the Trinity by
being triplicate in form. The bell
shape which the flower takes when
opening and fading was interpreted as
lmeaning that God does not choose to
lreveal His power until such time as
His wisdom deems best. II the plant
is cut down, ii grows again readily
and this means that no one who bears
in his heart the love Of God, can be
harmed by the evil OF the world.
