DASSAIC, N. j., April 12.-Passaic
= children are sturdy pickets. Not
even the attacks of police on horses
and motorcycles and with clubs can
scare them. They know why their
mothers and fathers, sisters and broth
ers are striking $4,000 strong and
picketing the great wooden mills so
persistently. When thes police came
charging their special chlidren's
parade, the kids were clever. They
lodged and scattered and then reform
ed their lines and marched all over
the textile towns singing and shout
ling.
f2-Year-oId Piekets Threaten School
Strike.
Now they threaten to strike them
selves! They say they won't go to
school when the police make the
streets so dangerous.
The children don't hesitate to tell
the police what they think OF them.
And how mad it does make the cops!
They tell reporters that they don't
beat the youngsters, but the poppy
piekets of 10 to 16 give a different
story. The police did hit the older
brothers and sisters and mothers ac-
company the six-to- nine year-olds in
the children's parades And some Of
the older ones were arrested and
thrown into Jail, too.
The day before the big march Of
10000 children FIVE kids Of to 10
came crying home in the morning.
The Passaic police had kept them in
jail over night without giving them
even crust to eat! The boys and
girls had been picketing Police Chief
zobre's house when they were ar
rested. In court the judge wouldn't
go thru with his sentence of spank
ing and sent the kids home with a
severe scolding.

MOSCOW, u. S. S. r., (By Mall
Every foreign observer in Soviet
Russia remarks on the immense
amount of reading being carried on
here. For unless one is mentally
blind, the efforts of the working mass
es of the Soviet Union to acquire
knowledge is most striking. There
are, in the first place, the large num-
Der of book stores, almost every cor
ner is bookstore, with its large win
dows crammed with volumes histori-
cal, political, economic, the natural
sciences, and fiction. A number of
bookstores are to be seen on nearly
every block In addition, the station
cry stores all carry a supply of pa
per-bound books. Not only are there
these bookstores, but along Dverskia,
Mochovia. Voroysky streets, and the
other main streets OF Moscow, where
ever there is place to rest books
there is an open air bookstand. The
base OF ratings III front of the Moscow
University, on Mochovia street Is COW

are book sellers scattered thru the
streets who specialize on selling one

Russian Worker Better Informed.
am quite sure that the Russian
worker is better informed on history
than that of any other country of the
world. Tho books printed in the mil
lions OF copies by the state publish
ing company give correct interpre-
tatlon of the history Of Russia. Special
pamphlets deal with the history Of the
1905 revolution, with liberation Of

car, and so it is with the other sub.
jects.
The Russian worker realizes the in
innate relation of his new form of gov
eminent, the workers and peasants
state, to the working class of the en-
tire world. One concrete expression
of this international spirit of the Rus
sian workers is seen in their desire
to learn foreign languages. Everyone,
it seems, is studying at least one other
language. Foreign residents are be-
sieged with requests to teach English,
French, German, Chinese, and many
other languages. The Communist
clubs for foreign residents, for ex-
ample the German and Hungarian
clubs, give courses to large numbers
in foreign languages. The factory
clubs teach foreign languages and
many Russians are indulging in the
popular Moscow sport of exchanging
languages" teaching Russian to for
eign resident, while he in turn teaches
his language.
Want to Learn English.
Especially are the Russians DESTROYS
of learning English, as they realize
what an important part England and
America play in the struggle against
Imperialism. and desire to read the
English publications. One well-knovn
Communist told me he was going to
study Jewish so as to be able to read
the New York Freiheit.
Many Of the Russian workers, and
particularly the women and the peas
ants, were forced to learn to read be-
fore they could begin to study. They
patiently went to work in the Soviet
schools and in some cases using the
Pravda as their text book. and learned
to read in order to keep in touch
with the progress Of the new society
brot in by the revolution.
