harmony with her special capitaf1stic

strength or weakness of these coun-

NN the other hand the roots of the

To Our Fellow Workers in the West
HITHERTO we, the workers Of the
world, used to communicate wit!
each other thru our leaders (of the
Communist Parties) at international
congresses.
In this letter l wish to describe to
you the life Of the workers at the
factory where l am working.
NUR factory, named Spartak, is
~ engaged in the manufacture of
spades. Before the war, and particu-
larly during the war, the owner Of the
factory reaped huge profits, waxing
fat at the expense of our underfeed-
ing. But, as you know, we, the work
ers Of u. S. S. R., have taken the fac
tories and workshops into our own
hands. The factory came into our
possession lit is owned by the state,
but since the state belongs to the
workers, we speak Of 1t as ours) in an
antediluvian state Of equipment, be-
cause the owner used all his profits
for his personal pleasure, not for the
improvement Of the plant. We began
normal work in 1922, and working in
roofless sheds and on broken stands,
we turned out from 20 to % thousand
spades month. Having gone thru
starvation, it was not an easy matter
for US to reconstruct our industries.
n NEVERTHELESS, we have already
IN achieved a good deal. We now
produce not $4,000, but $4,000 spades
per month, the highest pre-war output
was $4,000 and that with the same
number Of working people that we have
now. But this is not all. We have re-
paired and overhauled our factories.
We now have new roofs, we now have
new walls; almost with our very teeth
we constructed our machines, which
were destroyed during the years Of
civil war, and not only reconstructed
but also installed a new press Of i'm
proved construction. Hence we got
an improvement in our living stand
ard. The wages Of our unskilled
workers are now 103 per cent OF pre-
war. and only the wages of skilled
workers are so far at 50 per cent Of
the pre-war rate.
1T is true that our requirements
have increased. too. We got used
to books, to the newspaper and to the
theatre. We can't manage any more
with our pre-war wages. but we know
that we are working for the improve
ment Of our own position, and that
our life gets better year by year, be-
cause we are the masters In our
country, having got rid of the para

Letters From Soviet Russia

THOUSANDS of children of our
workers and peasants have the
benefit of higher education in the uni
versities and other institutions, a
thing unknown under the czars. And
dear comrades, / hardly think that
your bourgeoisie will admit the chill
dren Of the poor into the universities
and other institutions for higher ed
ucation.
II T present our workers are doing
"A their utmost to raise the pro-
ductivity of labor and to reduce the
cost of production. Results have al
ready been achieved on this field be-
cause of the workers very sensible at
titude in this matter. Our workers
are fighting for the complete recon
struction Of our industries and agri-
culture. One year of this work has
shown our workers that as far as
wages and output are concerned, they
are approaching the pre-war level. All
necessities Of life are quite accessible
to the workers.
n LII factories and works have clubs
n for the workers which carry on
culturaLeducational work. There are
free libraries and reading-rooms, and
the club has also various circles and
sections; such as: art, dramatic,
choral circles, musical and other cir
lies, in which workers and children
get instruction. This, comrades, you
also lack. This can only be done by
4 workers and peasants government
The workers Of our factory have made
great progress during these years of
revolution as far as culture and edu-
cation are concerned. They are, there
fore, interested not only in the life of
their fellow workers. but are also fol-
lowing carefully the life of the op-
pressed workers of all countries.
Their hearts beat in unison with those
Of the workers abroad, and they are
ready to come at any moment to the
assistance Of their foreign comrades.
NUR workers demonstrate openly,
~ with red flags and posters against
the bourgeois oppression of the work
ing class. A few more years Of such
steady and strenuous work and our
country will be so strong economical

help Of the western capitalist coun-
lries- should like to close my letter

sites who used to live at our expense
We still have cases Of two or three
weeks delay in the payment of wages
But it is fully compensated by the
credits which we get.
THE workers of the Spartak fac

tive store from pay day to pay day.
and we also get on four to six months
credit such articles as coal, wood,
warm clothing, footwear, etc. Fur
thermore, we have our mutual loan
society, which advances loans in case
of need.
THERE are many things which
would like to write about, dear
comrades, but it is impossible to say
everything in one letter. In my next
letter l will tell you about the cul-
tural activities in the various circles
at our factory. We often speak about
Germany. about your position, about
the manner in which you are betray-
ed. but / leave this for next time.

FATHER AND SON
 BOTH EXECUTED
One Follows Other to Electric
 Chair in North Carolina

Raleigh, N. C., April l7.-Father and son, Charles W. Stewart, 5l, and Elmert Stewart 2S, were electrocut- ed at the states prison here today for a double murder committed last year in Brunewick county. The father was first led to the chair and the son followed immediately after his lifeless body had been removed.
 The two men were sentenced for the murder of Sam Lily, United States deputy marshal, and Deputy Sheriff Leon George, while officers were searching for prohibition vio- lators.
 The elder Stewart on entering the death chamber displayed no sign of nervousness. Speaking directly to the legal witnesses, summoned for the execution, he said;
 Men be Christians; don't dc any thing else, because it don't pay, Take care of your souls. God bless you all."
 As he walked to the chair. the son leaned heavily on the arms Of the two guards He smiled faintly as he took his seat and as the prison attendant hurried 10 bind him he smiled again and said:
 Take your time, boys, I'm in no hurry"
 He then began to pray, his sup plications being cut short by the throwing of the switch.
 A signed statement was made by the men several days ago admitting their guilt, at the very time Cover nor Nelson was considering some ground upon which he could con- scientiously commute the sentence of the younger man.

 Rivalry In Baseball
 Intense rivalry has sprung up in East Berlin between two factions in terested in baseball. The younger fellows on one side and the older men on the other promise to make things decidedly warm in the sport line this season.
 The members of last years team have announced that they will go into the field this season with a view to taking everything in sight. A younger crowd has started into action, determined that this condi- ton shall not exist. This younger bunch is expected to bring out a team in the near future. The fur is scheduled to start flying some time next month.
 Baseball has never been East Der lin's strong point, possibly because there has not been enough interest in the district 10 keep that sport alive. But this year there promises 10 be all kinds of interest, each team having it's rootcrs and each delegation battling for the cham pionship of East Berlin. The young or boys have it on the old ones in one way and that is: they have more time to practice and many of them have grown up with a baseball in their hands. The older men, while they have taken a passing in terest in the sport, have long ago discarded sports, as being unessen- tial to human existence. And that's how things stand.
 Just when games will be played is not known, but the young fellows will get a team into the field in the near future and will start some tough and grinding workouts that the older men probably could not stand.
 Hooters in East Berlin are already taking sides and everything is set for a hectic season in baseball.
