Coolidge Leading
Drive Against Pay
Raise for p. 0. Clerks

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-President
Coolidge's latest scheme for beating
the postal salaries bill is to have the
reactionary majority in the senate
adopt the Sterling postal revenue bill
before the vote is taken, Jan. 6, on
the setting aside Of his veto of the
salary increase measure.
II the senate adopts the Sterling
bill, it will then be likely to use that
fact as an excuse for upholding the
veto on the salary bill. And the Sterl
ing bill will then be killed in the
house.
If the friends Of living wage for
postoface workers become so active
in the house as to force the passage
of the Sterling measure-as a last
resort-during the present session,
Coolidge and Postmaster General New
will have one last trick to play. They
will call upon the house machine lead
ers to change the date for the higher
postal salaries from July /, 1924, to
July /, 1926. That will cheat the
workers of their s225 apiece for the
year 1924-25, anyhow. The amount
involved is $6S,OOO,OOO. AS the Sterling
bill now stands, it provides for raising
S6S,0OO, 600 a year from July /, 1925
and for payment of this sum in higher
salaries for the year beginning July 1
1924.
Knowing that the Sterling measure
will probably die in the house because
so little time remains for it's passage
before March 4, several republican
senators who have been wavering on
are now said to be prepared to stand
the issue Of upholding Coolidge's veto
with Coolidge and against the posta
workers.

FORMER BRITISH
spy EXPOSED IN
ANTI-RED TALK
Expelled from Russia as

A workingman who strayed into
Walsh's Hall to hear Francis McCul-
Tough, professional international Red
batter, speak about Soviet Russia,
summed up the talk with the words,
ut was cheap, and it was rotten. The
monarchists bought Mccullough
.cheaply, and now he is peddling his
story"
Mccullough ran into difficulties at
the meeting Several Russians got UT
after the speech and ridiculed his
contradictions and mis-statements
When B. Borisoff, of the Russian
"Novy Mir arose to nail some Of
McCullough's lies, the priests sprink.
led thru the audience started to shout
mo Jews allowed here. Throw him
out"
Borisoff told of the power of the
Russian trade unions in controlling
the working conditions in Russia, and
gave the lie to McCullough's state.

but what freedom have you in Am.

pressive measures used by the police
and the employers during the steel
and coal strikes, when workers were
killed by hired gunner. He declared
that at the present time, workers are
not allowed to hold meetings in Gary
McKeesport and other industrial
towns.
Another worker arose and demand
ed to know why Mccullough did not
give the audience some real informa
ton about what is going on in Rus
STA at the present time. "You have
told us nothing that has not been in

Russia want l would like to know
the good points and the bad points o,

have told us what has already beer

Mccullough, when pressed to tel
who received the proceeds Of the
meeting, refused to answer. He re
fused to say who had arranged foi
him to speak. The DAILY WORKER
learns, however, that Lee Keedick, o
New York, monarchist, arranged fol
McCullough's speech. Many of thos'

CULTURAL LIFE AMONG WORKERS

ed. The fuel question has disappear
ed, the peasants having donated the
necessary work for this, under stimu-
lation Of outside interests. The text
book question is not so difficult any
more as the various city groups act
ing as guardians send out quantities
of books. There are now 1000 spe-
cial schools for reading and writing
in Leningrad district for the purpose
Of teaching adult peasants.
These cultural guardianships by
city groups take various forms. The
all-Russian central executive commit
tee is guardian for several rural dis
tricts and is electrifying them. I'M
Shumsky district a special DAY of
the Red Peasant" was organized, in
which propaganda on new methods of
agriculture was the order of the day.
Groups of workers correspondents as
sumo guardianship of some village
and send periodicals and books.
Rural Districts Get Newspapers
The newspaper is coming to the
village at last. There are still rela.
lively few villages which receive
them regularly, on account of great
distances and bad transport. But a
postofice near Leningrad is now max
ing a special experiment opening %
small rural stations for the special
purpose of delivering newspapers
which it guarantees to supply within
day of issue, to the farthest cor
ners Of its district.
Besides the movement which comes
from the city to the village, there are
plenty of movements among the pea
SAINTS themselves. Independent Pea
SAINT congresses for the purpose OF
discussing local improvements are or
ganized by local soviets. In one dis
trict with which l am familiar, 1906
peasant delegates attended for -four
days discussions; half of them were
women. The move to bring women
into active work in public life is
increasing, and this in itself will
cause great changes in the daily hab
it's and life Of Russia.

papers took place recently In Lenin-
grad; a similar contest in Moscow
many months ago.
The living newspaper is another
popular form Of entertainment used
in club work and evening programs.
The central club of the Moscow I'M
ions maintains group Of workers
which now give all their time to put
ting on such programs, in addition
to the amateur programs organized by
separate groups of workers them4
selves. A newspaper is acted out by
living people in words and gestures.
Cartoons and propaganda and import
ant events are portrayed seriously or
humorously.
AS another instance of the vital
cultural life among the workers of
Russia, notice that the Moscow
trade unions last year had 470S lee
lures, $500 excursions carried on in
176 clubs and 200 red corners, the lat
ter being a smaller social group
which does not boast a building or
establishment OIL lLS OWL.
Study Glasses for Housewives.
In Leningrad, $1,000 working men
and women are studying in classes
for illiterates. An illiteracy census
was made this fall and other classes
are also planned. The largest num-
Der of illiterates are in textile work
! ers, the next largest in the metal
workers union. The medical work.
ers are liquidating illiteracy among
4 the hospital servants. The first at.
/ tempt to organize classes for house.
wives has also taken place in Len.
ingrad, where 1000 are registered.
Restaurants and day nurseries and
clubs are being opened now under CO
/ operative home-societies organized in
the shop committees of Moscow. This
also is spreading, as are other forms
of cooperative house-building and
house management.
Meantime the city-country connec
tons are still matter of close at
tention. There are societies all over

Attorney General Harry Daugherty's
report of March s, 1924, containing
the report of two trustees on the
attempts made by the Chicago meat
packers to obey the consent @ecree"
Of the federal court is used in a circu-

groups tried to sell their holdings il
these other enterprises, as directed by
the court. The sale was not made.
