NOVO-SELENSK, U. S. S. R. (By
MaiD Having heard of the events in
Great Britain, the peasants of the
Domino settlement in the Novo-
Selensk district decided to send greet
ings to the British workers on strike.
Knowing what this struggle means to
the workers, we decided to help them
to the best of our ability.
A collection was taken up there and
then in a cap, which was rapidly filled.
Eleven roubles and S5 kopecks were
collected.
Friendly Organization of Help (Baku).
BAKU, U. S. S. r. (By MaiD The
workers of Baku eagerly answered the
call of events in Great Britain. Hardly
had the kilograms bearing the news of
the miners strike reached Baku when
an emergency session of the Miners
Union of the A. S. s. r. was convened
for the same day. 1t was decided to
give every manner of support to the
miners on strike. Already the next
day help began to pour in from all
sides.
In its recent manifesto to the work
ers of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics the All Russian Council of
Trade Unions proposed deducting for
the benefit of the British workers one
quarter of the days earnings. Before
our workers knew of this decision they
began already to deduct from their
earnings considerably more than pro-
posed by the A. U. C. T. U. The cam
paign for financial help to the British
proletariat is also carried on by means
of collecting cards and collections are
also made at many workers meetings
in the various districts.
Very many meetings are held. In
Binigardi alone 10 emergency meet
ings were held on May 9Th, all of them
devoted to the British events. There
is not an industry and hardly any
enterprise where meetings have not
either been held or are in the course
of preparation. The same may be said
Of the Office workers of the various in
stitutions and of the higher technical
and administrative stats.
Day Of Rest Worked for British.
In Bibi-Aibat the workers deduct
one-quarter to a whole days earnings
for the benefit of the strikers. The
Belogorod workers gave one days
earnings at the factory meetings
wherever IL was possible TO hold them.
In factory No. 6 it was decided with
the sanction of the management to add
to this also the work of one Friday,
sacrificing thus the day of rest.
Motor transport workers give one
days earnings. In the Stenka Rain
settlement card collections are made,
the engineeringtechnical section CIV
ing one days earnings there and then.
The same was done by the workers of
the Baku Soviet. The food workers
and many others deduct half days
earnings.

only very few kept to the amount pro-
posed by the A. U. G. T. U. The ma
