AMERICAN RELIEF
WORKERS ABSOLTED
Individuals Engaged in That Work
Are, However, Alleged to Have
Been Guilty Of Smuggling
Articles Out of Russia.

Moscow, Dee 20 (By the Associated
Press).--A statement signed by so
Wet officer published in the Isvestia
with reference to the article recently
printed in the journal charging that
members of the American relief ad
ministration were smuggling contra
bard articles out Of Russia. declared
that the article was misleading and
that he felt it necessary TO explain.
| After presenting certain facts which
are supposed to have led to the publ
cation Of the article the officers state
ment says:
AIt was quite clear that in this case
we were compelled to deal with the
actions of individuals, but to accuse
the American relief administration as
whole is quite impossible.
son the contrary, the higher officials
of the administration, particularly
Captain Cyril Quinn tits acting direc-
tori met all the soviet demands re-
garding the opening of mail and the
identifying of persons responsible
for misuse of their trust. The individ-
.uals who violated the agreement and
the customs regulations will be called
to trial and win be deprived of the
right to continue the American relief
administrations work in Russia or
elsewhere.
II consider il my duty once more
to emphasize the readiness of the high
er American relief administration off :
cials to come forward to meet all our
demands in connection with the incl
dent"
The soviet authorities. calling atten-
tion to the position of the Russian
employees of the American organiza-
tion, says that they are working sew
en- hours daily instead of the six stip-
ulated by the labor code.
The article says that the employees
are not paid for the extra hour and
that furthermore they work on holi-
days and sometimes on Sundays with
out additional compensation. The
newspaper asserts that the American
relief administration disregards the
regulations Of the union of govern
ment employees In various ways, and
that if the dissatisfaction continues
general strike may result.
The journal adds that the relief
work is thoroughly appreciated but
that the Russian workers must insist
upon compliance of the labor laws, dis
regarding intimations that the A. r.
A. officials might be compelled to cease
operations altogether if interference
from the unions continues.
Officials of the American Relief ad-
ministration, commenting ON these al
legations, explained that from time
TO time they had had misunderstand-
ings with the unions but that the diff
ferences always had been adjusted.
They denied that they had threat
ened TO withdraw from Russia and de-
elared that every effort was being
made to comply with the soviet labor
regulations.
