Harvest May Saue russia
From Ruin, Says Tuu,l3.

Russia will struggle to her feet or
totter into anarchy during the next
year. depending on the success of her
crops.
This is the word brought back from
that region by William H. Johnston.
president of the International As
sociation of Machinists. who has
just returned from a European tour
for the purpose of surveying inter-
tention to labor situat tions.
His principal mission was original
ly to discuss trade relations with
officials of the Russian government.
At Riga, however. Foreign Minister
LitvinCv of the Russian government
sent him the following message:
I'VE cannot talk Of trade as long
as American government continues
to follow Russian policy that takes
away from both sides the most ele-
mentary guarantees upon which the
success of trade relations is SO de-
pendent"
IN the, event Of failure of the
crops" declared Mr.. Johnston yes
terday. Russia probably will be
thrown into anarchy. This would
be followed by slaughters and would
of the entire world.
'At planting time the peasants
had decided to plant seed enough
for crops which would support no
more than themselves. Their atti-
tude was: Why should we plant
fiscated' To offset this condition the
government recently issued a mani
festo declaring that the peasants
would be charged only certain per-
centage tax of their products. The
crop over and above the tax would
be at the disposal of the peasant.
Now comes the great difficulty.
the vast majority of them-do not
read or write. Messages from the
government are transmitted by WORD
of mouth. The situation now rests
on the fact as to whether the mes
sengers Of the government can get
ants to plant enough for the sus-
tenance Of their brethren Of the
cities. If the messengers reach
enough peasants the situation Is
saved. II not, anarchy probably VIII
follow. There appears to be a senti.
in the minds Of the peasants. but
persons who appear to be in posi-
tion to state impartially the condi-
tions declare that Lenin's sway Is
vet strong enough to convince them
that the government should be heed
ed in this instance"
Germany is showing the quickest
"come back" of any European coun
try. Her people, according to Mr.;
Johnston, appear to be Wen req ano Inc

But the cry goes up, time and time
again, for raw materials. >,

what is 1ampering Germany at the

ever. appears to be more speedy and
healthy than any country of the old

Why Men Hate Shops.

"Of course" said the floOrwalker In
the big department store somewhat
alphabetically to the clerk at the
stocking counter, ~ suppose it's talk
ing against my own sex, but you can't
tell me men are more efficient than
women, at least not In the stores.
when man comes In here he
never thinks Of coming to me and
asking where he can find the desired
article. Instead he roams all around
the store, asks salesglrls who aren't
supposed to know the different de-
partments and gets mad generally
because he doesn't get what he wants
in hurry. That's one Of the reasons
why men hate to shop. They don't
use their heads at all."-New York

FACTORY TOLL HEAVY
Loss of Life in industries Almost
Equal to That of War.
American Loss of Life in France Was
$4,000 Men, During Same Period
of Time Industries
Took $4,000.

Neutrality-suspicious. very interesting
statistics have been prepared and
made public recently showing the ire
mendous loss in human life in the
nations industrial plants.
These figures indicate that these APP
palling conditions continue day by day
at rate almost equal to the sacrifice
of American soldiers during the war.
In the nineteen months of our partici-
patton In the war we lost approx
mately $4,000 men, while total OF
$4,000 were killed in factories during
the same period. This sad loss is in
addition to the prodigious waste Of
human energy brought about through
accidents in industrial plants.
There Is no way of computing the
value of human life, and any cOndi-
ton which permits of the monthly
destruction of almost 1000 lives con-
stitutes state Of affairs that cries
aloud to our human instincts as well
as to our hard-headed American COM
mon sense.
Life at all times and under all cir
cumStances is uncertain, and accidents
are bound to happen, but every safe
guard that human ingenuity can
create should be introduced to lessen
our frightful waste of human material.
Thrift of human life-no element
of our industrial activity is of greater
Importance than this.
Yet 1t is not to be doubted that q
very large percentage of the sacrifice
of human life Is preventable, just as it
Is possible TO prevent large per-
centage of disease and fires and other
forms of distress and disaster.
These are problems which to q great
extent depend for their solution on
public conscience, and as the public be-
comes aroused on the matter Of the
loss of human life in industry cor
respOndingly greater efficiency will ex.
list in every phase of our business
life.
Hence the problem becomes one
not to be solved alone by those directly
engaged In industry, but share of 1t
rests on the shoulders of every citizen
of the country. More intensive thrift
thought and practice In the lives of all
citizens Of the country will be reflected
In better safeguards for those engaged
In the various trades and crafts of
industry.
