By MARGARET GRAHAM.

At time in the history of Russia
"a when to be a member of Union
was to be "outside the law" Kuch-
nisterov, a blacksmith of Moscow, or.
ganized the Railway and Transport
Workers. Union. Today his memory
is honored by the 1,025,000 members
of the Union in the huge Railway
Workers. Club of Moscow, dedicated
in his name.
In contra distinction to the Ameri-
can method of Turing the workers
away from class consciousness after
working hours, diverting their ale
glance to amusements organized by
z. M. G. AS and fraternal organiza-
lions, the Russian workers find in the
clubs organized by their own Unions
al the cultural and recreational activ-
tiles they can possibly desire.
The Club to the memory of Kuch-
nisterov is one of 700 such institu-
tions, all sprung to life after the
Revolution. The dues paying mem
bership of these clubs jumped from
$500 in January 1923 to 100000 in
October 1926.
This particular club was built on
the ruins of an old munitions factory,
at the terminal of the Karkov Rail-
way. 1t was completed in 1925 and
now boasts 5000 members, 1900 of
them women. Members pay from 5
to 40 kopeks a month, according to
the amount of their salaries. CA
kopek is one-half an American cent. J
Members of workers families can al
so join the club by paying 5 kopeks
month.
In the one brief hour at my dis
posal there was hardly time to get
birds eye view" of the countless
activities all going on at the same
time. First there was district del
egate conference. The beautiful meet
ing hall with it's painted frieze of
locomotives in brilliant colors seated
$40 persons. 1t was Overlooking, so
that the $4,000 workers of the district
must have been well represented, and
this was the sixth day of the confer
ence.
Next we went from lecture room to
lecture room: in one an engineer
training oilers to be locomotive as
sistants, in another telegraph opera
tors being trained for the position of
station master (the course takes six
months; only telegraph operators are
eligible for this class as they are con-
sid@red the most skilled group in the
industry. In another room candi-
dates were being instructed in how to
take their examinations; in another
the Committee for better relations
between town and village was train
