Russian Wages
 Fixed by Ukase
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., May I8.-Con- tinuance of the arbitrary determina- ton of wages by the Soviet dictator ship is evidenced in the promulgation of a recent wage order published in Izvestia, official Soviet organ, dated Moscow, March 9, 1923.
 Wages are fixed not by negotiation but by the issuance of an official gov ernmental decree. Following is a translation of the wage decree pub lished in the Moscow Soviet organ:
 In accordance with the decision of the Peoples Commissariat of Labor the following minimum wages for March were fixed:
 For the first zone-Moscow, Petro- grad, including their provinces, Mur- man and Archangel provinces, Va kutsk republic-88 roubles.
 For the second zone-Provinces :: Tula, Bryansk, Ivanovo-Voznesensk, Ekaterinburg, Perm, Tyumen, Chelya- binsk, Vladimir, Ryasan, Tver, Nov gorod, Kostroma, Nishegorodsk, Ky binsk, Cherepovetz, Bielorussia, Vot- six, Zyryansk, and the Ukraine indus try transport and post and telegraph services, Crimea, ~Kirgizia, Chuvash, oblast, Mariisk obfast, Turkenstan, Dagestan-65 roubles.

comfort. In all this they have things pretty much their own way; and their occasional denunciatiOnS of the capitalist system must therefore be taken some what as a ritual of group technique as we'll as an expression of inner feeling.
 As they have all the advantage in the more legitimate means, they have, in the more questionable ones, a stark mono poly. The more extreme the revolution 1st, the more e1nanclpated he IS from those little approximations, survivals of llmitations-Which cause one to regard certain gainful activities as inconsistent with loyalty to social ideal.
 To the emancipated, nurnberless are the ways of getting on; and what is good for ones self must necessarily be good for the cause. Many are the modes ot bllklng the insurgent boobery, that unta1l1ng reservoir of treasures richer than those of Ormus and 1ndi and all the rest of the exhaustless East. An then there IS MT. Hearst. The broad and Well-beaten pathway leading from the tents of the radical intelligentisia to Mr. Hearst's payroll has welcome and mama at the end and the most highly recom- pensed and most warmly welcomed are those who in past times have most
  nounced Mir. Hearst as the sum of all things evil. Mr. Hearst, 1 take it, has small humor, but pretty wit-a wit that expresses itself not in words but in picturesque effects. And certainly one must travel far to find anything more picturesque than one of the longtime assaiants of MT. Hearst placed high in the hierarchy of his forces. The anti monopolists come easiest said Commo- dore Vanderbilt. Not so the anti Hearstians They come high; for they know they can get the price"
 Ghent's book Is of tremendous service in laying the blame for the strength of reaction where it properly belongs at the door of the wild, revolutionary radi- calls who have drawn their inspiration from the insanity and barbarity of the the shrine of whatever formula has about 1t the most mystic sound and the least horse sense.

hero Communist, and the villain seemed to be an A. R A worker. The A. K. A. offices were shown in the picture. The Communist and typist love each other, but the relief worker wins the girl by giving her food packages The Communist commits suicide, the girls heart IS broken and the general unhappy Russian ending brings the picture to an end
 Tt was produced by a Government subsidized company.
 The A. R. A. protested and the picture was suppressed for two weeks. Then 1t reappeared, but after a long con- troversy 1t was agreed to retitle the picture.
 Throughout my travels in Russia, Communists asked me why the A. K. A. was in the country They scoffed when 1 told them the obvious reason-to help. Though the peasants know the name of the organization, the masses Ill the cities know Fridtjof Nansen's name bet ter and cheer 1t because the Soviet press constantly features the Norwegian as the friend of the Government and the country. The A. R. As publicity has been scant, except when it was attacked.
 Writers in Moscow, who visualize America as a land where Rockefeller sits on a gold throne and workers live in novels, constantly denounCe the exploiting A. R. A., which works men seven hours aday.
 The treatment given the A. K. A. IS in sharp contrast to that accorded or ganizations which are not doing one hundredth part of the work accomplished by the big feeding machine'
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-05-18

Hurlmg condemnation at both re- action and wild radicalism, w. J. Ghent veteran author and trade unionist, ex- plains the causes and the effects of both in one of the most remarkable books of the year, entitled, The Reds Bring Reaction, published by the Princeton University Press.
 The reactionaries join with the crazy Reds in their rejection of democracy, Ghent points out. The Left promises to restore democracy in some future imagined millennium" the author says, but only after all the disaffected have been starved or bayonetted into submis- sion; while the Right. making no promise for the future, proposes only to extract the substance of democracy, leaving the form for a popular plaything. Though both wings profess to serve the cause of mankind, the one seeks an actual slavery, the other a thinly disguised serfdom. Ap- parent foes, they work together against society as a whole; but the winnings, whatever they are, go wholly to the Right"
 Assailing the revolutionaries, Ghent fares forth at his best. He understands them thoroughly and he launches salyp upon salvo against them. With pitiless logic and burning scorn he tears them to bits and holds the remains up to ridi-
 
 Those opulent revolutionaries, radi- calls and Liberals of the Left (and what scores of them there areD who know so we'll how, while denouncing the capi- talist system, to extract from 1t such ample income, move me to wonder. In the more legitimate modes of income getting they have all the advantage. In the literary world the Reds and the near-Reds climb to points of vantage where the colectivist of sober coloring can not hope to follow. Thus entrenched, and acting in jealous unison (so long as the matter is one of common interest, they are able to jsay what book shall be showered with praise, what condemned and what ignored. In the editorial offices and the publishing houses they sit at the receipt of manuscripts and say to this, Be thou darnnedp In the service of the great journals con- spiciously reactionary ones-they post OCT land and ocean in ease and luxurious

GLAD TO MEETCHA
 SAYS POLA NEGRl
Famous Star of Bella Donna" Uses Colloquial English With
 Effect

Glad to meetcha"
 Pola Negrl's convinced that thars the national American expression That's what they've all said to the Polish actress en route to Hollywood , from Poland via New York.
 And so Glad to meetcha" has as- stunned a central place in Pola Negri's limited English vocabulary of 100 words. It's a general terfn that is serving her we'll until she learns to differentiate and say instead "Gooo morning." good night" and "how are you"
 And so 1t was that when California boosters met her train in Pasadena and presented her with an overflow ing basket of California oranges, her first, she favored them with a gorge ous smile-and the only English words of greeting and thanks she knows, "G1ad to meetcha," thereby scoring a victory for those who up- hold colloquial Americanisms!
 Miss Negri was met at the Califor- nia conclusion of her six thousand mile trip from Poland, accomplished in little over two weeks, and was immediately whisked to Hollywood by Jesse L. Lasky, first vice-president of the Famous Players-Lasky Cor poration, who arranged for her to leave Europe to make pictures in Hol- lywood, and George Fitzmaurize, who directed Bella Donna" by Robert Hichens, Paramount adaptation of passionate desert love story which IS her first American-made picture.
 Bella Donna" will be the feature production on the bill at the Rialto Theatre, next week In support of the star is a trio of prominent leading screen players: Conway Tearle, Con- rad Nagel and Lois Wilson.
