Ruin and Decay
On. VOlga Waters

Astrakhan. Russia, Sept. "a, "a. p.
by MaiD-Life on the far famed
Nolga river Is slowly ebbing out.
The great 2.3O0-mile yellow stream.
once Russia's greatest maritime
highway, no longer courses its wind
ing way to the sound of fishermen's
| songs, the churnirg of the wheels of
| great excursion steamers, or the
echoing sirens of heavily laden
cargo boats. The hundreds of VIII
| lagos which drew their life from the
river are melancholy, spiritless
, places. for the people not only are
faced with a wheat famine this year,
out their fishing business, which Is
their chief support, is all but dead.
Where In pre-war days the Volga
produced two billion pounds Of fish
and caviar annually. it now Yields
only one-tenth that quantity. This is
no fault of the river but of the
government to exploit it properly.
The government at first nationalized
the fisheries and, finding that a
failure, 1t restored the fishery enter
prises to their original owners.
But the owners have found the gov
eminent taxes too onerous and many
OF them have abandoned their bust
ness altogether. Only 70 of the 500
tNA1N.' " hANi oDtId leu
Astrakhan, the great caviar depot,
have resumed their activities.
But it is in the striking decrease
IN the number of excursion and
cargo steamers that one notices the
most significant change in the
Folga. Where previously the river
was covered with thousands of COM
mercial and pleasure craft, it now
carries only occasional passenger
steamers and small cargo boats. In
every bend and inlet in the river
the visitors sees scores of aban-
doned excursion steamers slowly
sinking to the bottom.
The few passenger vessels still on
the river are well-eauipped, but
they are patroniZed almost entirely
by Russians Of the proletarian class.
for there are few foreigners in Rus
STA. and members of the old intel
Iectual regime have no money to
make such trips.
One of the most pathetic scenes
along the whole course of the river
are the forests of abandoned fish
ing boats, whose slender masts.
pointed toward the sky like huge
fingers. seem to be calling to heaven
TO witness the death of their ancient
and respected industry. Their own
ers have turned to more lucrative
callings.
In the absence of fishermen. one
sees groups of sailors and long
shoremen. who invariably complain
of bad times and low wages. Work
is difficult to obtain, and the long
shoremen therefore are willing to
discharge huge cargoes from vessels
at the ridiculous rate of a cent for
every hundred pounds.
Nature also seeing bent on COM
pieting the economic doom of the
historic river, for everywhere huge
ceds of moving sand are gathering.
which block the river and imperil
navigation. The sand dredges are
neither numerous enough nor suf-
ncientiy efficient TO remove all these
impediments to river traffic.

N. e. Changes in Congress

Death and retirement from public
life are the two factors which may
be held accountable for radical
changes in New England's represen-
tation In Congress when the Goth
Congress comes into being. In truth,
the complexion of the six states con-
gressional personnel is being greatly
changed in the 68th Congress. Three
senators and one congressman, the
latter. Greene Of Fall River, the Oldest
in point of years in the representa-
| ton, have died since the 9th Con-
gress ceased to exist
When the Senate and House of
Representatives reconvene in De-
cember new faces will be seen at the
desks OF Senator Colt of Rhode Is
land, Senator Brandegee of Conncc-
tfcut and Mr. Greene. The place of
Senator Dillingham; of Vermont has
already been filled by Senator Dale
who, as congressman from the Sec
ond Vermont district, was elected 10
NIL the late Mr.. Dillingham's place by
special election in November 1929.
Congressman Gibson was chosen at
the same time to take Mr.. Dale's
place.
But in the next Congress, what?
Besides the sure losses which have
already been recounted, there are
many others. 1t is well known that
Winslow of Worcester, the man who
mas headed the much denounced
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce for the past three
and half years, has decided to
devote his time to his business.
Also, Dallinger of Cambridge, who
held the chair of the House COM
mittee on education, has gone into
4 forced retirement, not much
against his Will. Speaker Gillett
may go to the Senate, but in any
case leaves the way open for a new
congressman from the second Mas
sachusetts' district. And Congress
man Tilson Of New Haven is also
looking for senatorial honors.
Another loss to New England will
be that of Congressman Paige Of
SOuthbridge. massachusetts,, who is
now ranking member of the Com
mittee on Post Office and Post
Roads. In short, New England
either loses or has lost, the speaker
ship Of the House, the chair of the
Senate Judiciary Committee held by
Brandegee, that of the Senate Immi-
grafton Committee held by Colt. that
OF the House Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce, of the
House Committee on Merchant Ma
rine and Fisheries which was held
by Mr.. Greene. and that of the
House Committee on Education.
The speakership and numerous
committee chairmanships represent
ed years and years of service by
those who held them or who are
about to relinquish them. Gillett
came to Congress In 1893, Greene in
1893. Brandegee in 1905 and Colt IN
1913. They had gone ahead step by
step on their respective committees

arrived in the chairs. New England
