MOSCOW, July S.-The union coun,
Gil of peoples commissaries has rati
fed concession agreement with an
American syndicate headed by Mr.
Jameson Whit for the working of the
gold bearing areas along the River
Hemirtak in the Amur district This
is similar to the Smith concession, rat
flied last November for gold produc
ton along the River Charga.
The concessionaire undertakes ia
erect on the area assigned to him
sufficient dredges to work steadily for
"a period Of 20 years. The gold bear
ing areas are to be properly equipped
by him not later than by July Is
1925. He undertakes to work at least
2,572,000 cubic feet per season. In adj
dition to paying rent for the area
assigned to him, the concessionaire
will also pay certain percentage OF
the gross output of gold. The govern
ment is to have the prior right of buy
ing the whole of the gold output.
The hire of labor, and all matters
relating thereto, are to be strictly in
accordance with the established Soviet
labor laws and regulations. They are
to be governed by collective agree
ments between the concessionaire and
the trade unions.

cution of the agreement, the conces
sionaire deposits. property to the
value of $4,000 gold roubles. All con
fiicts between the parties are to be sub
mitted to the law courts of the So
Wet Union. The concession is granted

ANTI-SOV|ETS
ARE A WEARIN'
OF The GREEN
American Office Is in
New York Basement
(By the Federated Press.)

NEW YORK, July S.-And now it is
the green" counter-revolt which
promises to overturn the Soviet re-
gime. It's American plenipotentiary
who has just established himself in
the basement at 324 East 14th St., adj
vised the Federated Press that the big
play is scheduled for next spring. 1t
was originally slated for this autumn,
but, postponement was made neces-
sary by doubts of complete success.
Alexei Moskwinow, who brings this
message direct from Akatsatev, the
green leader, styles himself dele
gate and representative of the All
Russian Peasants association"
The association, he demonstrates,
can trace its genealogy back to 1905,
when an organization of the same
name was formed. 1t was revived by
anti-Soviet elements more recently,
and now has Is branches outside of
Russia.
The American branch will no doubt
assume some Importance, as it already
has the cooperation of Boris Bahkme-
tiev, whom Hughes continues to look
upon as the representative of the Rus
sian people. With Bahkmetiev's help
Moskwinow hopes to form syndicate
of American business men, who will
be given monopoly of Russian trade
when the Soviets collapse" IN return
for present financial support of the
"green" propaganda.
Several local papers have taken
Moskwinow seriously, quoting from
his statistics" of alleged Bolshevik
atrocities and his appeal to the cul-
tured people of the world" One piece
of propaganda ends in a prophetic
strain, thus:
THE peasants will finally win. Our
green banner, with the image of
Christ on it, combined with the tri-
color, will soon be hoisted on the an
cient Moscow Kremlin!"

Yatkutsk Discusses
Cooperative Aid
In Siberian State
fRosta News.l

MOSCOW, July S.-A conference
has been held at the Russo-Oriental
chamber of commerce, with represent
atives of the Yakutsk cooperative
movement, to discuss the question of
the extension of long-term credits II
the Yakutsk union of cooperative So
cieties The object is to supply pro-
visions and goods to the entire cattle
breeding and agricultural population
OF the Yakutsk republic (Siberia), for
inasmuch as the state fur purchasing
organizations provide by way of ex-
change of goods but one part of the
people, namely, the hunters, there is
much room left for supplying goods
to the remaining part.
Under the present conditions there
is much smuggling of Japanese goods
into the Yakutsk republic, and it is
incumbent upon the cooperative
movement of this region to see to it
that the home market be supplied with
the proper goods.
The conference has outlined the
possibility of assisting the Yakutsk
cooperation on the part of the Indus
trial bank and the All-Union Cooper
alive bank. The credits will run up to
a sum OBJ about 100000 gold roubles
in various goods, chiefly manufactured
articles Cloths, etc.).

The place seemed quite full;
men and women, boys and girls,
sat and stood around. There
was an air of apathy, which we

later. We were directed to a

Three Dollars, Please.
We paid our deposit of three dollars
each, and were told to come the fol-
lowing Tuesday, with our luggage. We
understood, vaguely, that there would
surely be position in some hotel or
resort for us.
On Tuesday morning, the United
Employment Agency seemed more
than before place of activity, of
hustle, of action. We gave the peo-
pie, many the same we had seen
Thursday, a fleeting thot, but did
not consider them again. There were

being sent out and returning" Fur
Their questioning gave us the informa-
ton that they charged so cents a
night to sleep in the house-seven
or eight in room. Then we began
to see the need for the partitions back
in the Office, the need for such a
large house here, and the importance
of bringing our luggage. We decided
to investigate further and if our sus-
picions proved correct, make some
kind of demonstration and leave for
the city that very afternoon. The
demonstration did take place, and we
left, taking with us five others.
To Many Submissive.
We were determined to get our de-
posits back at any cost, and arrived
at the United Employment Agency at
72nd Street the next morning, at IL
o'clock. We found it exceedingly hard
to pin down one of the gentlemen
that had been so easy to locate be-
fore. However our revolutionary
ardor sustained us, and we searched
for them thoroly. We uncovered the
secret of many a partition that morn
ing. In one, people who had been
waiting two months, in another place,
one month, etc. Many people were
waiting with the hope of having their
money returned, being respectful and
submissive the while.
Waiting for the head boss to re-
turn, we discussed between ourselves
some fitting epithets for these middle
men, who make their nasty little piles,
not brazenly as a capitalist employer,
but thru the very heart-blood of the
worker, and do not give him even
the customary 1.-THE to sustain life.

we were interrupted by 10000 Oh!

risen, and was glazing at us. She
dashed down the hall shouting "Mr.

uses. Return their money. Throw
them out of here. The common

at us-words that to us were liberal

glare, and, low and kissing, Street

THREAT AGAINST
MUSSOLINI RULE
New Cabinet Receives
Chill Greeting

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
ROME, Italy, July 8.-The police
authorities have at last begun to ques-
ton Aldo Finzi, Fascist minister of the
interior Of Italy, who has been charged
with much grating in connection with
the failure and reorganization of the
Banco Italiano Disconto and with the
oil concessions which were to be given
to Harry F. Sinclair and with the
special oil sales privileges which we're
granted Standard Oil
General De Bono, former head of the
fascist police, has also been ques-
toned in connection with his protect
ing the fascist officials responsible for
the murder of Giacomo Matteotti, So
cialist deputy who was going to expose
their misdeeds.
Plenty of Charges.
Amerigo Dumini, who confessed to
the Matteotti murder, has been
charged with more crimes of violence
by anti-fascisti forces.
The trials of the twelve or more
former fascist officials who are being
held in connection with the Matteotti
murder have not been set yet, Mus
solini's efforts to have the cases come
up outside of Rome have failed so far
The premier's new cabinet is slowly
being made of non-fascist but SYM
pathetic conservatives or reaction-/
aries. The opposition group in par
Lament are expressing much discon-
tent with the three new members al
ready announced Whether they will
force Mussolini to include Socialist
and Maximalist members is uncertain
The former blackshirt premier has
made no move to indicate that he will
actually admit hostile forces to his
so-called constitutional government.
Militia Transferred.
The fascist militia will swear their
allegiance to. the king this week. This
is all the "dissolving" of the fascist
militia Mussolini intends to do: admit
his thugs to the ranks of the regular
army.
The rumble of opposition is still
laundering in the governments ears.
The wearied people are disguised with
the socialists weak acceptance of
promises and are turning more to-
wards the Communists for guidance.

LOWER IN NEW YORK
Reserve Bank Makes Reduction

NEW YORK, May IA reduction in

rectors yesterday. The change, which
Will become effective today, marks
the first action on the rate since Feb
ruary -. 1928, when an increase from
4 per cent was made, and is expected
to have a widespread influence on
money market and trade conditions.
Although no official reasons were
advanced for the cut, the action is
in line with the boards policy of
aligning the rediscount rate as closely
closely as possible with current
money quotations. Because OF the
recent ease in both call and time
funds, local banks have brought pres

a lower rate on the plea that it was
necessary for Il satisfactory margin
