The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-05-25

nEAR Comrades - Desiring to i'm
~ part a few impressions of the life
of our young army and to become ac-
quainted with the life of your workers
and peasants and II possible soldiers
life, | have decided to write to you
about the life in the Corners" Of a
Red Army barracks Of the U. S. s. r..
| can tell you that the present bar
racks are far from what they used to
lie formerly. For those who come to
the barracks. from villages and towns,
a new picture is opened up before
them: instead of the stick, and threats
that are deceptive for the ears we
hear every day correct, frank, instruc-
tive, encouraging, directing, sensible
Explanation in a polite form. When
we come TO the barracks there is quite
a new life. There are all kinds OF
study circles, such as the circle for
general education, political, military,
scientific, sport, dramatic circles, etc.
We also have formed courses In which
not only literary but also poorly edu-
Gated people can develop. Illiterate
people who enter our present army
never leave the army as such, but on
ending the service, become quite new
people hardly recognizable. Having
served a short period in the Red Army
everyone OF us has a good idea not
only about all corners OF the Union
OF Soviet Republics, but also has
good idea of the life in nearly all the
countries OF Europe and Asia. And
would you believe It, we can hardly
realize that we are in the ranks OF
the army, II seems as IL we are with
in the walls of a general school and
raokA Cleanliness. proper equipment.

Determined to Fight.
Railroaders Kick
on Job But Forget
to Fight in Union
By a Worker correspondent.

l don't believe that there is another
group of workers that do more Sob
bling and kicking about their condi-
tions than the railroad workers. In
the Mushrooms and "switch-shanties"
they give vent to their feelings. To
hear them you would think that they
were all going to walk off the Job and
pull strike.
The job is the only place that these
workers get together. They all have
the same grievance with the same
enemy. After discussion of all Of
their bad conditions and the remedy
that they are going to apply, 1t is re-
solved that they will all attend the
next meeting of the local and LAY
it out to the griever"
This sounds good. But when they
get to their next meeting the crowd
is not so large, they have not got so
much confidence as they had on the
job. They find that instead of all Of
them being together, as they were on
the job, that they are divided into sew
eral small groups and that the several
small groups are meeting in several
widely separated lodge halls.
They "size-up" their "officer" group
that they are up against. So the min
utes of the last meeting are read,
adopted as read, and all go home.
Next week there will be the same con-
ference in the washrooms and in the
'switch-shanties."
Railroad workers must write up
their grievances and send them to
the Workers Correspondence Page.
In this way you will get unity of opin-
ion and in the end the result that
they are striving for.

Cleveland Prison
Hell Oozes a Bit
Of Birthstone Smell
80 Worker correspOndent

CLEVELAND, o., May 23-The at
rocious conditions in the county jail
has caused revolt Of the prisoners
in which they defied the armed guards
of Sheriff Kohler in their demand for
more and cleaner food
The grand jury was on the point of
one of its usual periodic but futile "in-
vestigations' when the revolt occur
red. Prisoners wrecked wooden bench
es, tables and chairs and when cowed
by drawn pistols, barricaded them
selves in the bull pen" and refused to
return to their cells. Finally they
were starved out and went to their
cells. 5sa
The grand jury is investigating re-
ports of under-feeding and profiteering
by Kohler thru the prison commissary
also of working a woman cook 20
hours a week against the state law
for woman labor.
Kohler would not allow prisoners to
answer questions of the investigators,
and each time a question was asked,
answered it himself or added to the
prisoners reply-"That's the bunk"
They're crazy, etc" He said the pris-
oners ate "all that was good for them"
and ascribed the sickness of prison
ers to the building conditions.

C RAND JURY TO
MAKE SMALL FRY
COATS IN QUIZ

After hearing the testimony of over
one hundred saloonkeepers, most of
them from Cicero, at which they were
questioned as to where they bought
their liquor stores and who and what
they paid for protection, the special
grand jury picked by Attorney-Gen-
eral Carlstrom to investigate the kill
ing of Assistant States Attorney VIII
liam McSwiggin and two notorious
Cicero booze runners, had under con-
sideration the voting of number of
true bills against officials of county
towns where liquor, gambling and vice
have been allowed to flourish.
Most of the sessions of the grand
jury are taken up with an investiga-
ton of the connections between the
parole and pardon commission headed
by VIII Colvin, Len Small appointee,
than on the circumstances surround
ing the McSwiggin murder. This
move of the special grand jury con-
sidering the voting of true bills
against some officials is looked upon
by a number Of the opponents of the
Crowe-B Barrett Thompson alliance in
the anti-union republican party as one
to silence the criticism that is being
made of the conduct Of the investiga-
ton. Charges are being levelled at
the special grand jury of using Cook
county funds to further the political
ambitions of the -Barrett-Tho
son alliance rather than probe the
circumstances surrounding the Nc
Swiggin murder and the true meaning
Of the list offCicero vice and booze
joints with sums checked off against
each name found on Thomas Duffy,
one of the murdered trio. Questions
are being asked by many whether Nc
Swiggin was touring the district to aid
the bootleggers in collecting money
due them on booze accounts or money
for police protection, or whether he
was aiding the two to drum up new
business and run the foreigners"

Trust of Miners in
Capitalist Courts
Due to Be Jolted
BY GEORGE PAPcUN
worker corrcspondentl

WHEELING, w. Va, May 3d. A
trial OF the first eviction suit against
the 81 coal miners, who were former
employees OF the Elm Grove Mine Co.,
is started. The case of Joseph Sitos
was selected to make It a test case.
II the company succeeds in evicting
him 1t will mean that the other So
miners and their families will also
be evicted.
The reason for this is that the com.
pany has been trying to evict their
former employees so that it would be
able to put in scabs who would break
the strike OF the miners, although
these miners have lived In the houses
for years and have paid actually
double and sometimes triple for what
the houses are worth now. The min
ers went out on strike against the 20
per cent reduction which the company
has tried to enforce, also because the
company violated a state mining law
in the operating OF electric motors In
the mine. In this case the company
violated its own law which the coal
operators of that state put into Of
feet.
Senator Wright Hugus, the so-called
representative OF the people, is the
counsel for the coal company. The
trial started May is. The courts of
West Virginia are well known all
over the United States an trade union

SOVIET TEXTILE
PRODUCTION At
PRE-WAR LEVEL
Demand for Cloth Now
Greater Than Supply

NEW YORK, May 23.-Stores Of the
All-Union Textile Syndicate Of Mos
COW are not able to supply the demand
of Russian workers for cloth, in spite
of the fact that production in the tex
tile industry has now practically at
tanned the pre-war level.
The All-Russian Textile Syndicate
Inc. which acts as purchasing agency
in the United States for the All-Union,
shows these facts in it's latest report.
Average production of Russian cotton
mills in 1925-26 is expected to be 80
per cent higher than last year.
36e,239 Workers Employed.
A total of 36S,239 workers are en-
ployed in Russian cotton mills; So
per cent in mills belonging to the ALI
Union Textile Syndicate. There are
60,6S4 wooden textile workers, 71,458
linen and 11,7S7 hemp workers.
United States government figures
(1920 census) show an average of
446,S52 cotton mill workers in this
country, working with over 100000
spindles. The Russian mills operate
over 100000 spindles per shift.
The All-Russian Textile Syndicate
supplied Russian mills in the last ifs
cal year with S162,2S0,O75 worth of
cotton, s5S,311, $50 of which came from
America. 1t also supplied over $12,-
100000 worth of chemicals. 100000
plus of dyes, and over $9,000,O0 worth
of mechanical equipment.
Import ss6,ooo,ooo Cotton.
Doubling of its original capital has
just been achieved by the All-Russian
Textile Syndicate on vote of its stock
holders. The organization now op-
crates on 100000 capital. Besides
its main office in New York it has
branches in Houston, Tex, and in New
Orleans. Over half a million bales of
cotton, valued at over SS6,000, 900, have
been shipped from the United States
to Russian mills on 50 steamers char
tered by the syndicate.
Forty-one textile trusts formed the
All-Russian Textile Syndicate in 1922.
The Russian trusts operate 154 cotton
mills, 73 wooden mills, 81 fax mills,

JEWISH FARMERS
SUCCESSFUL IN
SOVIET RUSSIA
Prosecutions Grow in
Baltic Countries

NEW YORK, May 23.-"By common
consent, the Russian Jewish farming
experiment is not only success, but
1t is the only bright spot in the whole
dark horizon of European Jewry." So
says the leafet OF the united Jewish
campaign, which is raising $4,000, 900
in the United States for relief and
rehabilitation OF Jews in Europe and
Palestine.
Data on the back-to-the-land expert
ment initiated by Jews in Russia is
furnished by DR.. Joseph A. Rosen,
joint distribution committee agent in
Russia, who .supervises credits and
loans and implement supplies, etc,
given the Jewish farmers from funds
raised in America.
Many Till Soil.
David A. Brown of Detroit, national
manager Of the United Jewish cam
paign, surveyed DR.. Rosen's work per
sonally in Russia and is reported to
have seen more than 25, 900 Jews hap
PLY engaged in this new vocation, en-
during hardshfps which they cheer
fully accepted because they know that
out of these hardships will come peace
and economic restoration. He saw
other thousands clamoring for the
same opportunity-eager to labor in
the fields, but needing financial back
ing. Fifteen thousand more Jews
have left the Russian cities this spring
to take up agricultural life, so that
today there are $4,000 Jewish farmers
in Russia, whose number is destined
to grow"
City life is very hard for Jews in
Russia now, with high taxes on shops,
government monopoly Of basic indus
tries, government supported co-opera-
tives, against which private competi-
ton is hopeless" the leafet says.
Persecution in Baltic States.
Conditions in other European coun-
tries are terrible, the leafet continues.
In Poland hundreds have gone insane
and other hundreds have taken their
lives. JEWISH WOEheFS are DOyCOCLeu
with their merchants and non-Jewish
co-operatives fostered so that third
of Poland's Jews-nearly three mil
lion people-are starving and another
third on the brink. In Lithuania, Ga
licia, Esthonia, parts of Austria and
Germany, even, the Jews situation is
worse than it was at any time during
the war, relief campaigners here say,
