A perfect hulk of a man. somewhere near nine
feet in heighth. wanders into the dining room of
the local hotel and a great crowd gathers to watch
him eat.

NUMEROUS HOLIDAYS
OF RUSSIANS PEEVE
RELIEF WORK HEADS
Americans Forced to Fire
Many Russians for May
Day Absence.

MOSCOW, June 17.-Russo-Ame
lean relations, if there be any rela-
tions. have been strained by the love
of the Russian worker for his hOli-
day
The American Relief administra-
ton hired a number Of Russian
workers, and everything went alonG
merrily fer a time, but the Russian
workers began absenting themselves
frequently, and their only excuse
was that they were celebrating a
national holiday. 1t appeared to the
heads of the A. r. A. that every
third day was a holiday in Russia
and the crisis came on May Day
Indeed it was a crisis, such a crisis
that Pravda, the leading Soviet or
gan, used il as the text for a lengthy
editorial sermon.
Captain Tourtillot. Director of
the Food Remittance Division of the
American Relief administration, or
dered all his employees 10 come to
work on the first of May" Pravda
explained. "even though there was
no urgency in the work. The pur-
pose was to ignore our international
proletarian holiday"
This was the last straw. The
Russian workers claimed that they
had been working through too many
holidays, and they just refused TO ap-
pear on the job on May Day.
This brought them TO work on
May 2, before the terrible judgment
Of their exploiters in the persons Of
Captain Tourtillot and Mr. Rem
shaw" Pravda explained.
The upshot Of the whole situation
was that several holiday loving Rus
slams lost their JOSS.
Let this be exemplary proof of
the fact that the Americans, the
same as other capitalists in Europe.
came to Russia not in order 10 save
the starving or to improve the work
ers' condition" continued Pravda.
"Oh, no! They weld the chains for
the working class - they are pre-
pairing the moose for the workers.
And. therefore. workers, be on
your guard. IF, due to economic
conditions caused by our state OF
ruin, you should be forced 10 work
together with the bourgeoisie OF Eu-
rope and America we must be on
guard, and at their first attempt 10
throw the chains and moose upon Us
we must do that very thing ~ them.
Long live the proletarian holi-
day, We viii never allow II to be
abolished"
And so the incident is ended Sey-
era Russians have lost good jobs,
but the Russian workers holidays
viii continue.
