Says Only Miners Were Attacked.
'One very significant feature Of this
case is that the militia has attacked
only the miners. 1t has not interfered
with the coal operators association.
although that association maintains
an office just as do the miners, and
operators assemble there every day
in connection with the strike. The
coal operators are as deeply interested
in this strike as are the miners. Ger
tainly the military authorities should
treat both sides alike. If the operators
are allowed to assemble without in
reference the miners ought to have
the same right"

Crops Almost Complete Failure.
In the broad belt, whose center Is

parts of the adjacent districts. the
crops are almost complete failure
on account OF an unusual drought and
also in some places because of the
ravages of locusts.
The provinces of Samara ana
Saratov, with a population of 100000,

some of the other districts is higher.
but it will be far below the scantiest
living minimum. The inhabitants of
the region are in a panicky state. The
peasants are leaving their homes in
groups and in some cases whole viii
lagos are deserted. The people do
not know in what direction to go and
the common saying is that they are
going to the king of India" Those
who cannot leave are eating the bark
of trees and sorrel stalks. The cattle
are perishing.
What aid Russia in her present
state can, render the stricken dis
tricts is problematical. The soviet
authorities have few. il any, supplies
of grain to spare. 1t is proposed
that the authorities should use strong
measures to bring about the redis-
tribution. of seeds for winter plant
ing. that the cattle be driven to other
districts and that the peasants be
transported to Siberia, the cotton
fields of Turkestan and to factories
needing labor.
Situation Made Worse.
In the meantime the situation is
being aggravated by the outbreak of
cholera. According to n. A. Samas ash-
epidemic has invaded the volga re-

Orcl. To quote Samashko:
THE insanitary condition OF the

FOXY EMPLOYERS
Fail to Trap Cloak Strikers

New York.-Cloak manufacturers
have failed to trap striking employees
into accepting a basis of settlement
that would permit the bosses to ignore
contract breaking.
The employees suspended work when
told that piece work and the long
work week would be enforced, al
though a contract between the two
parties does not expire until next
June.
The employers have been ham,
mered from every quarter because Of
their contract breaking, and they
now propose that Secretary of Com
merce Hoover and Secretary of Labor
Davis be empowered to settle dis
puted points. The "joker" in this Of
fer is found in the statement that the
two cabinet officials "are not to de-
termine the existence of any con-
tracts"
The garment workers reject this
tricky offer and serve notice on their
employers that they must reinstate
their contract before negotiations are
opened.

LAWMAKER
Would Withhold Money
from Railroads Having
Foreign Ship Deals

Washington Ransdell, of
Louisiana, would amend the 0,000,-
900 railroad refunding bill by with
holding every part of this money from
railroads that have contracted with
foreign shipping companies to give
them preference over American ship
ping companies.
Senator Ransdell's recent exposure
of the agreements has created an
awkward situation for those patriots,
including railroad owners, who insist
that the LaFollette seamen's law IS
responsible for this country's failure
to build up merchant marine.
1t is shown that such railroads as
the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio,
Boston and Albany New York Cen
traD, Norfolk and Western, Southern
Railway, Missouri Pacific and other
trunk lines have contracted with for
eign vessel owners to supply them
freight over all competitors. In some
instances the railroads agree to give
the foreign vessels free dockage, coal
at prices lower than the prevailing
market rates and assist them in Sc
curing exemption from taxation.
These railroads are all operating
under the Cummins- -Esch law, where
in they are assured railroad and pas
senger rates that will guarantee them
5k per cent interest on their invest
ment and " per cent interest for the
purpose of making improvements.

of exploiting the miseries of injured
workers by private insurance COM
panies.
Labor also secured the passage of
a bill which provides for the recall Of
all public officials, except judges, on
the demand of 25 per cent of the quail
flied voters. The high percentage will
retard the practical application of the
law in many cases, but forward step
has been made by accepting the recall
principle.
