Soviet Russia After Ten Years
Report of the American Trade Union Delegation USS

There are also nominal eight-hour positions
at which the lunch time is included, so that
the net working time is but seven to seven
and a half hours.
Because of the difficulty of fixing rigid
maximum hours for agricultural workers,
domestic servants and seasonal workers desig-
mated by the Commissariat of Labor, longer
hours are permitted when fixed by mutual
agreement of employers and the unions. This
gives the unions the task of keeping the hours
for these workers down as far as possible.
These are the maximum normal hours for
various occupations. Overtime is permitted
in certain cases provided that it does not ex-
coed l20 hours per year, nor average above
two hours on any two successive days The
first two hours Of overtime are paid for at
the rate of time and half and succeeding
hours at double time. That the permission to
use overtime is not being abused can be seen
from the fact that even in 1928 and 1924,
when the economic situation was more diff
cult and overtime was consequently more re-
sorted to, the overtime amounted on an aver
age to less than three-tenths and two-tenths
CT an hour daily. Today the work day in
manufacturing averages rs hours. When the
with the deductions which have been men
toned, it is probably conservative to estimate
that the actual working week of the average
Russian industrial worker is somewhat under
"A hours. This is shorter work week than
we have in the United States.
The foregoing hours of work are for adult
males. Children under IA years of age are
prohibited from working in industry and
those from IA to Is are only allowed to work
four hours daily, while those from Is to IS
are on six-hour day. Many factories have
set up schools in which these juveniles are
given training during the hours in which they
are not employed nearly 100000 being given
such education last year. In order to prevent
the employers from refusing to hire juvenile
labor because of these restrictions and hence
swelling the ranks of the unemployed, firms
are required to have these young workers
form 10 per cent of their force
Juveniles under 16 are prohibited from
working at night between the hours of 10
p. m. and a. M. as are women normally, al

Nicaragua Elections

WASHINGTON, Oct, &c. - Altho
Secretary of State Kellogg issued a
public statement today declaring that
"the United States is not going to
select any candidate for the presi-
dency of Nicaragua" the State De-
partment has already placed its
stamp of approval on one potential
candidate and barred another from
the elections.
The candidate who has met with
the approval of the State Depart
ment is General Moncada, who, altho
he led the liberal forces at the be-
ginning of the revolt against Diaz,
surrendered after negotiations with
Henry Stimson, representative of
President Coolidge The blessing be-
slowed on the Moncada candidacy

as Moncada's price for the sell-out.

is that the cash benefits of 100 per cent Of
the earnings will lead to much malingering
and to feigned illness. There are, no doubt,
cases of malingering, but the social conscious
ness Of the workers and the effective medical
service combine to keep it within minor di.
mansions. This is proved by the fact that the
average number of days lost in the L. S. S. r,
per insured person, for temporary disability,
exclusive Of time lost from childbirth and
nursing, was only in 1924-1925, 8.8 in 1925
1926, and a yearly rate during the first six
months of the 1926-l27 fiscal year of only 7.8
This is in sharp contrast with the German ex-
perience where with a waiting period and
with benefits amounting to only part of
the wage, the average number of days lost
annually has ranged within recent years be.
tween y and Is. Part of this difference is
undoubtedly due to the fact that the German
system includes primarily industrial workers
whose sickness rate tends to be above the gen.
eral level of the population, while the Russian
system includes agricultural, domestic and
other occupations as well. Yet in a number
of industrial centers we found an average OF
eleven days lost because of temporary dis.
ability, which is less than the amount of time
lost in Germany The country with by fa1
the more liberal system of benefits shows less
lost time, although medicine and public sani
tatiOn are more advanced in Germany than in
Russia. The full reasons for this are not yet
conclusivey established, but from our inquir.
les we are convinced that it is largely due ia
CD the full medical attention and treatment
which are given to the workers and their fam.
lies; and ~, the tendency of i'll or injured
workers, when the benefits are only frac
ton of their wages, to return to work before
they are well, thus rendering them more sus.
ceptible to future Illnesses and consequently
causing them to lose additional time. A low
scale of benefits seems therefore to be false

monetary standards

Labor Laws and Social Insurance
Hours of Work and Rest

DEFORE the war the Russian workers la
~ bored 9.9 hours per day. In some indus
tries, such as coal mining, the 12-hour day
was actually in force. A considerable amount
of overtime heightened still further the actual
working day.
All this has been changed by the revolu-
ton. The Labor Code of Russia fixes eight
hours as the maximum days work. Since it
is provided that there must be AZ hours of
continuous rest at Week-ends or on the occa-
sion of holidays the work day on Saturday is
only six hours.
Workers in especially disagreeable or dan
gerous occupations are granted still shorter
work day. Engraving and TYPOGRAPHY to-
gether with the more Objectionable jobs in the
tobacco industry, have seven-hour day; the
work day of coal miners and indeed of all I'M
foreground workers is six hours. The hotter
jobs in the glass industry and in zinc smelling
have also siX-hour day; in the manufacture
of lead substances only three hours of work
are required. This is thought necessary in
view of the very definite health hazard Of
flee workers are employed for six hours a
day and 36 hours a week. This is due more
however, to the historical conditions than to
the irksomeness of the labor
The actual working day is frequently short
er than six hours. The siX-hour day in the
mines is from bank to bank, or from the
mouth Of the mine. Since it generally takes
half an hour or more for the miner to get to
the place of work, this means that he spends
not more than five hours at work. We also
found it was the practice around the glass
furnaces and blowers to take periodic rests
amounting to one-third Of the time, and so,
in practice, to be at work only four hours
day. 1t is also generally the custom to have
alternating gangs of workers at the hot roll
ing machines, so that although the worker is
in the rolling mill for eight hours, he is at
work four hours.

Temporary Disability.

IF an employed worker is temporarily pre-
l. vented by either accident or illness from
working, he is paid the full amount of his
average earnings for the lost time without de-
auctions for any waiting period. This is as
true in those cases where he is disabled from
non-industrial causes as in those which have
an industrial origin If a worker is unem-
ployed however, he does not receive more
than his unemployment allowance if he is TAX
en- ILL., The average payment for each dis
abled worker in March, 1927, was at the rate
of S28.75 per month. The worker is in addi-
ton, furnished with free medical attention
throughout the period of his disability. This
medical service is not confined to the general
practitioner, as is the case under the British
Health Insurance System, but carries with it
the services of such specialists as ocuists,
dentists and surgeons. Free hospital care is
also provided as are drugs, medicine and APP
pliances such as artificial limbs. 1t should
also be emphasized that this medical care is
not confined, as under the British System, to
the wage-earners alone, but is also extended
to their families There is virtually free
medicine in Russia 1t is, Of course, true that
there ais often greater delay in receiving the
free medical attention at the public clinics
than in going to private doctors. Local gov
eminent units provide health and medical
care from their own budgets, and in addition
approximately 80 per cent of the social in
surance funds are used for this purpose. The
wives and children of the insured may there
for secure not only the general medical at
tentiOn in their homes or at the clinics with
cut charge, but are furnished with free medi-
cine, free dentistry care of the eyes, hospital
care and surgical work A worker is paid
full wages if he or she is compelled to stay
home to nurse sick member of the family
All this is furnished as right ard not as
charity. The Russian government proceeds
upon the theory that it is the duty of the
state to furnish health to its citizens so far
as this is possible, and believes that medical
attention should be free to every person. This
is feature which cannot be commended too
strongly and which is in harmony with the
best thought among students of public health

though exceptions have been made for the
latter in the case of the telephone and textile
industries and for hospitals The night shift
is uniformly an hour shorter than the day
shift for the given industry.
Women workers at manual labor who are
about to become mothers are allowed two
months rest with pay before giving birth to
a child and an additional two months after
wards. Clerical workers. because their work
is less severe, are given total of three in
stead of four months. When the mother re-
turns to work she almost always finds a nur-
sery or creche where she may leave her child
She also is given half hour out of every

against Chang and against Japan,
which has been backing Chang, have
recently taken place in Manchuria. A
number of executions are also re-
ported to have taken place recently in
Tientsin.
Martial law, recently declared by
Chang, is being drastically enforced.
In addition to the executions, whole

GOOD OLD SUMMER.

What is the best season of the year? Summer to most people though the other seas os, especially spring, have heir charms. And the older you get, the more you will like summer, the more you will dread winter.
 Spring corresponds to our babyhood. It is the sprouting season, full of hope, dreams, uncertainty, danger of frost.
 Autumn is like the waning years of life, when we harvest as we have sown, when we suffer for our negligence and mistakes and are rewarded for our effort. Most of us, when we look backward in the autumn of life,f say: "If I only had my life to live over again. ... ."
 Winter, of course, corre- spends to human death, the hi- bernating of old growth until new growth is ready to sprout and bud.
 All three of these seasons are preparatory to or the aft ermath of summer. And sum- mer is the period of Life--of accomplishment--symbolic of the lives we are living.
 Lucky are you who have sur vived the frost's of life's springtime. Your crop of suc- cess is started. Foil and weed, for autumn of life will be up- on you before you are aware. For results, it's now or never.

3umes more space in the news paper of today than the most thriving merchant of yester- day.
 As in quantity, so has adver- tising had an evolution of quality. Within the shopping memory of the present generation the advertisement, both newspaper and maga- zine, has risen from relation of articles and prices to at tractive displays artistically phrased, graphically illustrat- ed and in the case of maga- zines often beautifully litho- graphed. The modern adver- tisement is not a narration of goods and prices; it is a store house of information about buying, styles, thrift and econ .omy. The public once con- plained of spending a penny for a newspaper and getting 50 per cent, more or less, of it's paper in advertising. Now magazines are purchased by many for their advertisements alone, and as for the newspap- CT, the advertisements form an important part of the days reading.
