Open House for Russian Farmers
Moscow Correspondence by WILLIAM F. KRUsE.

the inside of factory convinces them
that eight hours a day is too much
for any man to work in industry. And
Russian factories are by no means the
worst in the world, the tempo is far
from that In an American pen.
The peasants were intensely inter
ested in the visit Of a group of Brit
ish and American comrades who hap
pened to be in Moscow and visit the
Dom Krestianina in a body They in
dulged in good-natured raillery with
the Britishers, saying: you, with all
your fine coats and shoes, have not
made a revolution yet, but We did 1t
with rags wrapped around our feet"
One Of them also intimated that there
must be something wrong with anyone
who would tolerate a king on the
throne. But one and all were very
much interested in the prospects Of
the coal miners strike-about which
they were quite well informed.
The clients of this house are of
three general categories, first there
are village delegates who have some
sort of public business to attend to-;
second, officials of village soviets, Co
operatives, ETC., and, third, individual
peasants on private business. The
rates are not fixed according to these
categories, however, but according to
ability to pay-poor peasants, whether
on public or private business, pay
nothing either for lodging or meals,
others may pay as high as 10 kopeks
(35 cents) per night for lodging. The
comrades in charge are always on
1.-THE alert to guage the peasant senti-
Iment. Points raised in discussion are
passed on the respective commissa-
rats, and have frequently resulted in
changes in Legislation and DEGREES.
These Peasant Houses have gone
thru a development closely rejecting
the development OF the country's in
dustrial and agricultural policy. They
were first established in 1918 in con-
nection with the grain tax, the peas
ant coming in to town to settle his
taxes put up at these houses, listened
to the explanations Of the necessity of
the tax, was helped thru juridicial diff
ficulties, etc. The second period, dat
ing from the abolition Of the tax. was
intended as a cultural contact between
city and country, to render effective
real service to the peasant while he
was in town. During the war with Po-
land this development was tempo
rarily checked, but now it is again
being extended rapidly until $40 such
homes are found scattered thruout
the principal towns of the r. F. S. r.
and the autonomous republics.

Discover Glass Interest.
The strike reports from Britain were
very one-sided and the capitalist press
and news agencies had a clear field
since strike bulletins from British la
Dor were apparently cut off by the
British government. The capitalist
press of Germany which usually is
rabidly hostile to the British govern
ment, suddenly discovered its friend
illness for Baldwin, Churchill and the
British ruling class and directed its
wilest attacks against the British
workers.
The Thyssen firm and other coal
barons made immediate steps to sup
ply German coal to England and made
arrangements to hire scabs to take the
place OF the workers who, infiamed by
this maneuver, were on the point of
a general strike and an extension of
the struggle to Germany.

SEEK SCADS IN
MILWAUKEE FOR

N a ton | EnameIing
Workers on Strike
BY a Worker Correspondent.

MILWAUKEE,, May 26.-The Ma
tional Euameling and Stamping Com
pany is attempting to get workers
here to go to work in their struck
plant at Granite City, Ill. In their
plant here they have asked workers
whether they would be willing to go
to work in the Granite City plant.
When these workers are asked to go
to work in the struck plant they are
not told that the workers are on
strike at that plant.
Sheet Metal Workers Strike.
Members of Local 1094S, which is
affiliated directly with the American
Federation of Labor, and Local 1904
of the Sheet Metal Workers Interna-
tional Union are on strike. The com
pany refused to sign a contract with
the union and declared that after July
1 they will refuse to sign any agree
ments with the unions.
To Run on Open-Shop Basis.
The National Enameling and Stamp
ing Company has announced that it
will run its plants on an open-shop
basis. This action of the company
pany, If carried into effect, will mean
that 1000 more workers will walk
out.
Workers are urged to keep away
from the struck National Enameling
and Stamping Company plant at Gran
lite City.

BUILDING UNIONS
.vOTIN C ON new
WAGE CONTRACTS
Plasterers May Turn
Down Bosses Terms
BY a Worker Correspondent

The agreement between the con.
tracing builders and the Bricklayers'
Union for a continuance of the old
wage rate of $3.50 an hour, which was
signed last week by President Peter
S. Shaughnessy, was approved by a
vote of the union membership Tues
day night.
The proposal of the Employing
Plasterers' Association, which is
practically an ultimatum to the strik-
ing plasterers of Local 5 to go back
to work at the old wages pending ar
bitration or fight concerted effort of
the bosses to break the strike and
establish the open shop, will be voted
on at once by the Local 5 membership.
Prominent union plasterers say that
it is hardly probable that the local
will surrender to the ultimatum of the
bosses. The union has the strike well
in hand, with many of the contractors
signed up at the $14 scale demanded
and has no reason to take tall talk
from the bosses.

Rise Of the Modern Business Man

been called upon this type of batter
and he is swinging wild at the third.
Rise of the Modern Business Man
The most amazing phenomenon Ct
the last 100 years is the rise of the
modern business man. One hundred
years ago, the business men was abb
solutely social outcast and to be in
trade was like being in disgrace. The
style OF garments worn by the men
of those days indicated that they were
not likely to soil their lily white
hands by work. Now times have
changed, and If you do not work you
are a bum, said DR.. Crane.
The four great reasons for the rise
of the business man to a position of
the greatest prestige and power were
given by DIR. Crane, as numerated
previously. The business man has
seen that the aim of life is. not great
profits, but is in reality, service. If
you want to know what GOD is, turn
to the words of Jesus Christ: my Fa-
Their worketh hitherto, and / work
also" That service is given by God
because He likes it. When you get
that idea Of God it makes big diff
ference; you, too, will want to be a
servant like Abraham Lincoln, who
did not want to rule but only to serve.
DR.. Crane closed his address with
an appeal to business men mot to
break faith with the ideals that have
brought you where you are. Main
tain your faith in humanity. Keep
the ideal of service in the foreground
you will take your place in the front
