Not Even Sympathy for
Colonial Slaves

LONDON-F Women still toll
in the coal mines of India. On the tea
plantations a system of indenturcd
labor exists, which practically am
cunts to slave labor. Flourishing
Bombay cotton factories, paying div
idends of 100 per cent on the original
bonafde capital, pay their workers far
below the minimum living wage de-
termined by government experts and
are now trying to cut these starvation
wages 25 per cent in some cases.
These are few facts about the ex-
ploitation of Hindu labor with which
the Workers Welfare League of India,
the agents in Britain of the All-India
Trades Union congress, are seeking to
acquaint the British labor movement.
The government of India has only
recently been expressing it's full sym
pathy-not with the unfortunate wo-
men miners, who are driven to back
breaking toll underground-bu with
the employers who are demanding
that the use of women shall not be
interfered with. The Indian Mining
Federation (the employer organiza-
tom has protested to N. B. Mira,
government member of industries and
labor, against the bill contemplated
by the government of India prohibit
ing the employment of women labor
underground in the coal mines. In
reply, Mira assured the EN-. ayers
that the government sympatHzed with
their view, and that it would recon
slider.
Action by the British cooperative
movement to assist Hindu labor is
urged by the Workers Welfare
League. 1t is calling on the gigantic
Cooperative Wholesale society to re-
fuse to allow on its tea plantations
or on plantations which, as buyers on
an enormous scale, it influences-th

ployment of women and children. The
league is also asking for minimum

VIII De useu on tractors,
Tractors in the U. S. S. r.
According to the Narkomsem (de-
partment of agriculture) the Union of
S. S. R. has now about 1900 tractors.
Five hundred of them are from pre-
war times. One thousand tractors
have been manufactured in U. S. S.
R. during the last few years. Six
thousand have beenr imported. This
year the Markomsem will import
$500 tractors, part of which are now
on the way to Russia. In 1926 the
Soviet factories will manufacture 500
tractors. a1t
Exhibition of Agricultural Literature.
In October, 1925. an exhibition will
be opened in Moscow Of popular ag-
ricultural literature issued during the
last few years in many tens of mil
lions copies. In pre-revolutionary
times Russia had few agricultural
periodicals and not one daily paper
Now there are hundreds of periodicals
and daily papers. The circulation of
the most popular daily agricultural
paper Bednota is about half a million
daily.
Export Of Grain.
The ports of the Black and Asov
seas are full of steamers which are
exporting grain from Soviet Russia.
From all over the U. S. S. R. thous-
ands of carloads of grain are coming
into the ports.
Harvester Trust Re-enters.
The main concession committee
has decided to allow the International
Harvester Co. to resume commercial
operations in U. S. S. R. This well
known firm will furnish for them
harvesting machinery and spare parts.
The Narkomsem has worked out a
plan by which 2,595,OOO rubles in
various sums will be distributed
among the peasants to improve their
methods of agriculture.
In the month of July in the newly
opened house of the peasants 1,69S
representatives visited the institu-
ton, Notwithstanding that this month
was a very busy one for field work
In July the lectures on agriculture
were attended by 3,4OO persons.

The Caspian of the r. S. F. S. r.
will purchase from the crop Of this
year 100000 pools of the best seeds
in order to establish a seed fund.
The cotton seeding campaign in
Transcaucasia has been completed.
According to the original plan the
area seeded was to be 10000 dessia-
tins. The respective areas are as fol-
lows: Azerzajdjan-10I ,b65 dessia-
tins; Armenia-16,7O5; the province
of Nachichevan-9,7 O5 dessiatins:
Georgia-5,S27 dessiatins. If the con-
ditions should be favorable, a crop
of $4,000 pools will be expected,
or 81 per cent more than the proceed
ing harvest.
The Narkomsem has received from
all parts of R. S. F. S. R. acquisitions
for one million plows, 100000 har-
rows, 100000 threshing machines
and about 100000 other machines. A
large amount of dairy machinery,
binding, spare parts, etc. is also re-
uuired. The sum of 130,000,00O rub
les is on hand for these purposes.
The export will be about go million

the government and conditions. He
also said that as far as the education
al system was concerned in Russia,
well, that could not be beaten in any
part Of the world. Education in Rus
STA was the order of the day.
Mr.. Bennett, the boys grand dad,
opened the subject with him about
young Kenneth staying there. And
he also. assured Mr.. Bennett, that he
did not lave to be alarmed to leave
the boy there. And that he could be
assured that the boy would be well
taken care of and be given good
education at Moscow.
We gave the professor some English
books and he in turn invited US all
to come and visit the school if we had
time. So we told him that we would
like to, so he babe us come along
now which we did, as the school was
only short distance away.
Visit to Soviet School.
Upon our arrival at the school he
introduced us to all the teachers and
took us all thru the different classes
while the pupils were there at their
study. He explained everything to
US. They had the Dalton system Of
schooling. The pupils were all bright,
healthy looking children and seemed
all to be very interested in their
studies. l asked him If there was
any religion taught in the school, and
he said none whatever. l asked him
if any of the children attended church.
Whereupon he answered in the whole
school Of several hundred, just three
girls attended. So l said "the church
is not doing a flourishing business
here"
So we thanked him for his kindness
and said goodbye to him. Mr.. Ben
nett and myself took a walk up the
street and there was young Kenneth
with the boys. We went in the club
and they soon got around him and
wanted to know now if Kenneth could
stay, as they al knew that we were
to sail that day. So the old man
said to one. Il think will leave him
here. He is with good kind people.
And il he gets back to Seattle, his
mother is dead anyway. | think he is
better off here" So he gave his con-
sent and the young people went wild
with 10y and shook the old mans
hand and told him not to worry any
more over Kenneth.
Kenneth Goes to Moscow.
So young Kenneth went on board
with his friends and packed his
clothes and deserted the ship. He is
at the university of Moscow, now.
| have often thought since, how
many of those kind hearted American
capitalists in America would take a
workingman's son and send him six
thousand miles by land and water to
get a good education.
Yet those "cruel" Communists did
thst with glad heart, to a strange
boy at that.

our cabin boy, fine young lad Oh
sixteen years, from Seattle, was on
shore the night before and and II
could be seen that the young people
in the club took all kinds Of interest
in him. So the next morning, young
Kenneth wandered off by himself and
soon found himself back with MS
friends of the night before. A wnile
later one of us went on shore to get
some cigarettes and there was young
Kenneth playing with the boys and
girls. The ship apparently the far
thest away from his thoughts.
About 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, he
came back to the ship looking for
his grand dad who was the engineer
on board. He found him and we were
surprised to hear that he wanted to
leave the ship and stay in Siberia.
His grand dad asked him what he
wanted to stay there for. He said
that the young people wanted him
to stay there and that he had grown
so fond of these young people that
he did not want to come back on the
ship. He further asked his grand
dad to come on shore with him to
the club, which he did.
When they got there, the young
fellow who spoke English was there
and several of the other young peo-
pie. Soon they got around him and
fairly begged him to leave young
Kenneth there; that they had taken
such liking to him and that in about
one month they were going to the
university at Moscow and they want
ed young Kenneth with them. Then
they took the old man with them to
their parents and they also assured
him that Kenneth would be taken
care of and would get a good educa-
ton at the university of Moscow.
Education Best in World.
Well, Mr.. Bennett, his grand dad,
was taken back at all this that he told
them he would give his. word in the
morning, that he would think 1t over,
so he came back to the ship.
Late in the afternoon we washed
up and went on shore. It was the
same as as the previous evening with
many invitations. But we told them
it was early yet, and we wanted to
see the town. Whereupon they came
with us and showed us all around.
ments in the club and then they took
us to the movie. There we spent
pleasant evening, with good music
and fine pictures.
After the show we had some more
refreshments and smokes, then we bid
them good night and went on board.
The next morning the professor Of
one high school, Mr.. Noblegrabblenoff
came on a visit to our ship and we
soon made him at home on board. He
spoke good English. We had quite
an interesting talk with him. We
spoke with him mostly on the econo-
mical and political questions Of Sow
let Russia. And he soon answered
us that he himself was not a member
OF the Communist Party of Russia.
But that he had all kinds OF respect
for the Communist government.
Also that Russia was coming 10 the

A Voyage to Soviet Russia by American Mariners

we're ready to leave, three young men
and the town priest, IN hie Smcisl
garb, came down to the ship and beg
ged us for a passage to Ust Kanchat-
ka, $50 miles north, the place we were
bound. One of them spoke German
and asked him what they were 60
ing to do up there. He answered they
wanted to go fishing up there and
that the Russian steamer would not
be there to take them for SIX weeks
and then it would be too late in the
season. The priest was in the. same
boat as they, he also was going TO
fish, he said. There was nothing else
for him to do.
He said the church business had
gone to pieces. So being, they were
all good proletarians including the
priest, who had to be one, we gave
them a passage. That afternoon about
o'clock, we cast off, There were a
lot of people at the dock to say good
bye to us including our young cabin
boy.
Our trip up the coast we made un-
eventful and arrived at Ust KAN
chatka June 1. We were boarded on
arrival there by the officials and
pratique was granted us. So that
night we sailed down the coast 10
miles to our destination where we
were to receive our load of fish. We
anchored there off a Japanese can
merry about half mile from shore.
There we go a Soviet Russian Gus
tom official on board for the purpose
of counting the fish. He was happy,
jolly, old fellow. He could not speak
English, but we got along fine with
him. AS we did not understand his
name, we Immediately named him the

much. He wore high top leather
boots, after the Russian fashion.
There was one among us who played
the mouth organ and got the Probe
tartan and he danced Russian dances
in the cabin. He was a man of about
go years. but full of fun, like a kid
OF is.
On about June rs, there came two
Swedish explorers on board our shin
for a visit. They were sent out from
Sweden in 1920 on scientific expe-
dition to Kamchatka and had been
there five years and spoke good Rus
sian. They were two fine fellows, so
we soon made them feel at home.
They spoke good English and we were
very glad to have them on board.
They told us their adventures in Kam-
chatka and liked the country very
much. They also spoke highly of the
Soviet Russian government and their
educational system.
The youngest Of the two said that
ne was seriously thinking about Offer
ing his services TO the Moscow govern
ment. They stayed with us all day
and that evening when they went on
shore we told them TO come often as
they were working In that vicinity.
They said they would and they were
our guests many times after.

neat and clean shaven.
Meet Young Communists.
We were kind of Handicapped on ac-
count of the language, but soon found
one or two that could speak English
and German so we we're soon fixed
in that respect.
Several young men from the town
invited us with them to restaurant
where we were introduced to several
young men and women. After we were
seated they explained to us that this
was the Young Communist Restaurant
and during our stay in port we were
welcome. We were brot tea, cigar
cites and mineral water, and were en-
tertained until about p. m. Then
the young men babe us to come along,
so we got up and wanted to settle the
bill, for what we had eaten and drank,
but they only laughed good naturally
and said, Put your money in your
pocket, it is of no use to us. You
are our guests as long as you are
here" So we thanked them, babe
them good night and went with the
young men.
Visit Soldiers Cub.
Next they took up to large build
ing where we passed sentry, a red
soldier, who greeted us. We were
taken inside and soon learned that
we were in the soldiers club.
There were about 80 young soldiers
there We were introduced to all, a
jolly lot of young fellows. They soon
made us at home, showed us around
and finally took us into their game
and recreational rooms, there we had
all kinds of fun, gymnasium and diff
ferent games. Then they fetched their
stringed instruments land played and
sang the Internationale. After that
they danced. all the step dances and
their own Russian dances which we
enjoyed wonderful. They sure were
happy and contented.s
Some of them spoke German. They
told us how they had fought on the
different fronts during the revolution.
Some of them had seen service from
the Archangel ntsclean across Via
livestock and Kafnehatka, Boring Sea.
About midnight we babe them all
good night. They all told us not to
forget TO come back again. We told
them we would, If we had time, as
we were only going. to stay in port
about two days. rf
So we started back for the ship,
all thoroly convinced they were the

travels. Real people and friends,
workers like ourselves. Different

where crimps and sharks usually lay
in wait for their easy prey to come on

night, discussing with each other

got from those people.

Log of schooner apollo" on voy'
age from Seattle to Petropavlovsk and
Ust. Kamchatka, Siberia, Red Russia,
as we as members of the ships crew
found it while there.
We left Seattle, Wash, on April
20, 1925, and after stormy passage
of 81 days, we steered our little vessel
of 269 tons into Avachee Bay. We
anchored in the harbor of Petropav'
lovsk, about Z a. m, and it struck
us all, that, it was a beautifully laid
out little town. Sloping down the
foot of high hills into valley. 1t
was our first look at Red Russia, the
land we had read so much about in
American newspapers.
After breakfast six port officials,
courteous young men, came on board,
shook hands all around, and proceed
ed to examine the ships papers. AT
ter they got thru they granted us
pratique, shook hands all around
again and left. A while later the pilot
came on board and took us along
side the dock.
Given Warm Welcome.
When the ship was locked, we all
washed up and went on shore, as we
all were anxious to take a look at
the people and conditions there. We
only had short walk to the town
and as we got there we were aston
ished at the welcome we got from
the people. 1t seems everywhere we
looked or went, we were invited in.

expected, after reading so much about

But anyway we all made up our
minds soon, that there was nothing
cruel about these people, because they
were kindness themselves. SO we
said to each other that some of the
press in America must have made a
mistake about these people. which we
will try to correct for the benefit of
the American worker.
First of all we will say, as old sea-
farers, with among us, all the way
from ten to forty years of experience
on the high seas, that most of us
had visited Russia in czarist days, in
the Baltic and Black Sea ports. There
fore we soon noticed the difference
in the atmosphere and conditions
about. The people were not the same
as they were2O years ago. They look
ed entirely different from those days.
