lean workers is pure bunk, at least
as far as American seamen are con-
cerned.
The law which is supposed to pro-
tect the seamen on American ships
simply does not function. The La
Toilette seamen's act has been
thrown into the discord. An Ameri-
can ship is the most disgraceful
thing aioat, as far as conditions for
the seamen are concerned. The skip
per of the ship is a car. He fines
men whole months wages and the
government commissioner always sup
ports him. The seamen have abso-
lutely no redress except lawsuit
which is far beyond their means.
The strike is spreading. 1t is a
blow at the tyranny of the United
States Shipping board as well as the
American Steamship Owners associ-
alton and other private ship owners.
1t is strike of momentous import
ance, coming at this time when the
British seamen are out on strike.

peasants could see only one possibili-
ty of liberation from the thraldom of
usury and exploitation by mutual Gre
dit organization and cooperative dis
posal OF their produce, eventually
leading to the common use of agricul-
tural machinery and implements.
Thus arose the wave of the co-opera-
tive movement. Poor and middle
peasants were rapidly building up
their cooperative credit organiza-
tions, primarily for the sale of pro-
duce and the acquisition OF supplies
and implements. Millions of poor
and middle peasants united for mu-
tual aid and agricultural cooperation.
They were Joined also by prosperous
peasants, usurers. and even by land
owners, who saw the growing force
OF the movement and wanted to

for mutual aid which they did not

and to take advantage of the petty

son that under such state of affairs
the peasants cannot hope to accumu-
