Russian Colored Stone
Trust Increases Output

MOSCOW, U. s. S. R., Dec. o.
Before the revolution the production
of precious stones in Russia was con-
Quoted on handicraft lines. Now this
handicraft has become quite branch
of industry, a large trust-Russian
Colored Stones has been formed.
This new trust does not restrict
its work to producing precious stones
intended for decorative purposes. 1t
pays special attention TO technical ar
ticles necessary for industry which
formerly were imported from abroad.
The production of marble required
for the building trade, which since
1914, had been abandoned is now be-
ing renewed. Agate and sapphire
stones are prepared for use in con-
nection with industrial products such
as hydrometers and electric brushes.
Stone cutting and grinding factories
are also attached to the trust. In
various workshops belonging to this
trust highly artistic stone cutting
work is performed.
The products of this trust are very
popular abroad. At the universal ex-
hibition at Paris they caused general
admiration. S
This trust has tremendous import
ance for Soviet Russia as it owns ex-
traordinary riches in valuable and
colored stones. These include acqua-
marines, beryls and topaxes. The
marble quarries in Soviet Russia are
much richer than the famous quar-
ries in Colombia and South America.
Furthermore, the production of
marble is much cheaper in Russia
than in other countries.

Artificial Silk One
of Thriving Products

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 29.-
Despite the enormous increase in pro-
duction Of rayon. or artificial silk, the
manufacturers have been unable to
satisfy the demand for rayon and the
industry is experiencing a period OF
rapid development in practically all
OF the important manufacturing coun-
tries OF the world according to the
textile division, department of COM
merce.
In the United States, the production
and consumption of rayon continued
their steady growth during the cur
rent year The output OF the Ameri-
can plants for the first half of 1925
Is reported as slightly over "a mil
lion pounds and. as they have been
working at capacity all year, their
annual production Is estimated by
trade sources to be in the neighbor-
hood OF 100000 pounds. This fig
ure shows a remarkable increase
over the output Of recent years. In
1920 the American plants produced
100000 pounds, almost doubling the
output in tho following year to 49,.

Trial Against Peasants
Is Based on EetteFs
Between Dead Persons

KISHENEV, Bessarabia--(By MaiD
The French bourgeois lawyer Tor
res, who in the beginning OF the Kish-
inev trial took over the defense of
the peasants and was finally expelled
from the court, writes as follows IN
his report of his mission:
"The only document on which the
accusation was based, is a piece OF
paper signed by a certain Platow
which contains the reference to an
existing illegal organization and on
the general revolutionary spirit OF the
population. Platow himself, however,
has been killed in the suppression Of
the revolt. The person to whom the
paper was addressed, Neuin, was also
killed. Finally the peasant, in whose
possession the paper was allegedly
found, happened to be killed while
attempting to escape. In this manner
the prosecution supports itself on a
correspondence between two ghosts,
found in the possession of one that
is dead"

EXPLOITS BLIND
AT S11 A WEEK
IN SLAVE SHOP
But Bashful Boss Gets
SIS for Doing 1t
BY CARL HAEssLER.
Federated Press Editor)

Blind men and women should be
glad to get Sill a week to live on and
If they won't take that it's because
they are. lazy and would rather beg
than work. Besides, it is easy to get
by on $11 a week for a while, and if
you just can't make it there is always
some charity organization-pro
Jewish or cstholic--that can be in
duced to pony up little more.
5ashfuI on HIs Own Salary.
This is the attitude publicly assum-
ed by Supts o. W. Fremer Of the I'm
provement Association for Blind Peo-
pie in discussing the plight of the
blind in Chicago. When asked what
he received for his own activity he
became evasive but it is believed to
be SIS week. Fremer's society runs
the Chicago Lighthouse where blind
persons to a limited number can find
work and get little training for in
dustrial occupations.
Fremer starts them at 81 for "A
hour week, he says, and tries to place
them in factories as they acquire
skill. At present there are 81 blind
people working in the little sheetiron
buildings on the far west side of the
city. The annual average employed
there appears to be under 20. There
are about 1000 blind persons in Chi
cago.
Exploits the sightless.
Labor circles become interested in
the blind when Samuel G. Rowe, the
blind tenor who appears occasionally
on radio programs, told the Chicago
Federation Of Labor that Fremer's or
ganization had induced the police to
drive blind beggars off the streets
on the pretext that 1t took care Of re-
lief and training for the blind.
As mat4sr of fact, Rowe charged,
most of the money solicited by the
society is used to further in the inter-
ests of the scientific sighted beggars"
who use the blind as a pretext, paying
them $11 a week and failing to give
them adequate training.

RUSSIAN UNIONS
GROWTH is RAPID
IN EIGHT YEARS
Workers Organizations
Play Tremendous Role

MOSCOW, q. S. 8. R., Dec. 20
From q total membership Of some
e46.OOO in the early part Of 1917 the
unions OF the Soviet Union have now
reached the imposing figure of $780,,
200 In the eight-year period, according
to the official data published by the
-All-Russian Central Council Of Trade
Unions. a
Membership Growth Phenomenal.
Such unions as the miners, textile
workers, and metal workers, for in
stance, have increased their member
ship by so per cent since 1922, while
compared with 1917 their growth is
phenomenal.
The Textile Workers Union had
69,796 members in 1917, but on April
( /, 1925, its membership Is given as
624,100. se .sH3
Similarly, the Metal Workers Union
increased from 1lO,627 in 1917 to
61S,5O0 in 1926. and. the miners, which
showed S5,262 In 1917, now boasts of
a membership OF 2S2SO0O. The growth
Of the union membership may also
serve as an index to the rehabilitation
OF Russian industry during these
years. .t
Cultural Activity.
Besides their ordinary activity, the
Russian unions are carrying on
great cultural work Workers clubs,
libraries, schools for the illiterate and
semi-illiterate, physical culture leagues
these are some of the forms of the
unions cultural activity. In Septem-
Der, 1925, there were in the Soviet
Republic 3,417 trade union clubs, $500
trade union libraries, and APO trade
union schools for the illiterate. The
membership of the clubs is over
100000. ate
It is interesting to note that women
constitute nearly SO per cent Of the
membership; and even in such cul
turally backward districts as Trans
Caucasia, Turkmenistan, and Uzbeki-
stan their membership ranges from II
per cent to over Is per cent.
The union clubs are not only places
Of rest and recreation. They are also
educational centers. They conduct
literary, musical, political, scientific
and technical circles. Besides these
circles, the clubs arrange dramatic
performances, lectures, and concerts,
employing outside talent The record
attendance at these club performances
for one month is 1,495,5 people. The
unions also obtain theater tickets for
their members at greatly reduced
rates, and sometimes entirely free.
Representatives on School Boards.
The Russian trade Unions contribute
toward the maintenance of special
technical schools ~ They have their
representatives on the school boards,
and thus take an active part in direct
ing the work. There were 1928 such
schools in the month of September,
