Changed Tone.
THERE is a marked change of tone
L from the moment when the gene
raj council announces It's refusal of
the proffered money. This refusal,
worded with the official curtness of a
| diplomatic note to a friendly gov
eminent, aroused both bewiIderment
and bitterness in the Russian mass
es. The Russian workers could not
understand what reason there could
possibly be for the refusal of broth
erly aid from the workers Of another

had been strengthened by the form
alton of the Anglo-Russian Commit
tee. There was, however, no Serious
uneasiness about the natter for this
was before the publication of the
documents showing that, in its refus-
al of the money, the general council
was merely the stalking-horse Of Bald
wins government. But perplexity, we
repeat, was widespread. Distrust of the
leaders of the general strike increas-
ed, and there was growing suspicion
as to the good faith of the right wing
leaders of British trade unionism
Those who were styled left wing,
were still regarded as above suspi-
cion.
The change of mood found express
sion in the resolutions passed at meet
ings of workers and employees Still,
this did not in any way affect the
amount of money levied, for the pos
sibility of betrayal by the leaders
served merely to enhance the SYM
pathy of the Russian workers towards
their British comrades. But no fur
Their personal messages to the leaders
We're sent.
The general meeting of the workers
at Nyandom station on the Northern
railway brands with infamy those
who are traitors in the struggle for
the deliverance of the working class"
"Cut down with a sickle forged of
British steel the rank, weedy growth
OF Macdonald and Co.," comes from
the Yokohama works.
| DO not trust Thomas and Mac
Donald, who are traitors-henchmen
and servants of the bourgeoisie. Rid
yourselves of such leaders, trample
them under foot" This halls from
the workers of Ilich depot on the
Moscow-Velorussky railway.
| "Proletarians of England" says a
resolution from a Moscow metal
works, your interests are being sold
to the capitalists"
The workers at the October revoiu-
ton dyeworks, esteem It their duty
to brand with infamy the leaders
Macdonald and Co. as traitors to the
working class, behind whose backs
they are conspiring with the Baldwin
conservative government and are sell
ing the workers Keep your
eyes on the right wing leaders who,
behind your backs, are working hand.
INLAND with the capitalists and are
ready to betray your interests"
Profoundly Affected.
THE Russians were profoundly af-
l. fected by the calling off Of the
general strike. The affair caused a
tremendous commotion. which only
those who saw II can realize. The
mental disturbance found expression
in numerous resolutions. We shall
content ourselves with giving one of
these, which clearly indicates the pre-
yalent mood, and shows what political
deductions were drawn fromathe up.
