Advertises Bread Loan
Then suddenly, observing the
chance Of good harvest, the gov
eminent advertised ten-million-dollar
bread loan, selling at low price -four

denly made the paper ruble good, since
you could pay paper rubles for food

sign OF being Oversubscribed, which is
quite a mark of confidence OF the peo-
pie in the financial power Of their gov
eminent.
But how can the Russians them
selves pay the high prices charged for

But Russia can dare do things which

Russian Baths Priced
at Three Million Rubles

MOSCOW, July 81 have just paid
three million rubles for a bath Clean
hneSs comes high in Moscow. Every
thing else does. too; everything costs
regular New York prices and then
some.
After all. three million rubles is
only 10 cents. not too much to pay IN
America. But have been spoiled by
my year in Europe. Everything in
Germany is cheap as dirt, II you know
the language and where to buy Mos
cow is the most expensive capital in
Europe.
It is expensive even for foreigners
with good American dollars. We
folk have been accustomed since the
war to exchanging our good money
for a lot Of paper money in Germany,
or Austria. or Italy. and just buying
up the country. Russia isn't going TO
let us do it. There are quite a lot OF
old New Workers who have got into
the government OF Russia, and they
don't intend to be held up by any one,
They intend to do the holding Up!
told a commissar at MinslI how
cheap everything Was in Germany in
comparison to Russia, and he replied
dryly: But that is Just selling Ger
many away. Germany has TO on ac-
count Of the reparations. But we do
not have to sell out Russia"
Flags Communism
Russia tried first to offer commun-
ism to the world-a system in which
every one would work hard and be
given free Of charge whatever he
needed. She couldn't make her indus
tries run on that basis. Partly this
can be blamed on the war. the block
ade and the famine and partly, as the
communists themselves say: BE
cause there we're not enough honest
people in Russia-not enough people
who would refuse TO accept from so
ciety more than they returned. We
must train up the next generation.
"State Capitalism"
So Russia has now retreated TO
what she calls state capitalism" Ev-
cry one is free TO go out and make
money, to produce goods and sell
them, to charge as much as they can
and make any fortunes they can pile
up. But let no one believe that this
IS capitalism as we have It IN Amer
lea. For the government runs the
key industries and the biggest facto-
ries all over Russia; It runs them 70

the market price and pays tho work
ers according to what they produce.
It intends to make ell the money it
can, to build up IT'S surplus and to

STA
Defines Purposes
The government hopes TO develop
Russia toward communism, that de-
ponds on what happens in the rest
of the world AS long as the rest of
the world IS on a capitalistic basis
and money is the standard in foreign
trade. Russia intends to have money
and pay her own way.
Meantime she keeps up a running
fight with the spectators. The spec
ulators had the best Of 1t during the
winter, for the governments resources
were drained to fight the famine The
spectators boarded grain in hope of

Authorities See Intervention on
Part of Government as a
Last Resort.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Coal min
ers are paid cheaply for their labor,
considering the hazards Of their work
and other factors, Government officials
are convinced, after a study OF the
miners side of the controversy with
the operators.
The human element in coal produc.
ton at last Is recognized by the Gov
eminent as the chief thing to be
weighed in coal strike settlements.
One Of the chief spokesman for the
Administration in coal problems-sec-
rotary Hoover-declared emphatically
that permanent settlement OF coal
strike troubles, present or future, can
only be possible by removing from coal
production the ever-present danger Of
intermittency.
Mines Stagger
AS long as the industry is so con-
stltuted that coal mines are allowed
to Btagger along, working two or
three days week and keeping men
employed only part OF the time,
strikes are inevitable.
This element OF "intermittency, u
Mr.. Hoover is convinced has led to
much OF the trouble which now con.
fronts the country by a tie-up OF
most OF the soft coal mines. In other
words, the coal mine laborer La worthy
OF his hire and should be assured rea.
sonable wage and reasonable periods
OF employment.
Besides doing the most undesirable
form Of labor, the miner works al
the within of a system which may or
may not so manipulate the production
strlngs-and in turn production prices
-Vthat the average worker CANDLES or
the size OF his pay envelope from
week to week.
Wages Lowest
Government records now show that
the coal miner receives a lower an
nual wage than workers in most other
Industries. 1t IS the time out Of
work that puts 4 crimp in his wallet
and leaves him owing the grocer and
the landlord. II he has q family his
risks are even greater. There still is
lacking that assurance which ultl
mately must be given the miner, OF
reasonable certainty OF length OF en-
ployment.
Just how the element Of intermit-
tent employment can best be over
come IS not yet clearly Indicated
Some suggestions have been made
that the operators themselves must
take the lead and reform their own
industry. II they do not. say some
Government observers, the Govern.
ment may IN the end be forced 10
take a hand and attempt a solution
OF what is now regarded on all sides
as a major problem, along with the
railroad problem.
