A large number of homeless boys
and girls are being trained for indus
try. One provision, in addition to
these work schools and communes is
that 1000 of all apprenticeship are
reserved for "bezprezhorni" from
these homes The vocational training
is the biggest phase Of the work.
From Peasant Families.
But just as Russia is predominantly
agricultural, so more than 500, some
say more than $3.50 of these boys are
Of peasant origin. They cannot all
be transplanted into industry. nor is
it in all cases good for the child.
So boys may be sent as wards to
reliable peasants, for whom it is made
worth while to take good care Of the
boy. The lad need not stay with the
peasant unless he is satisfied, he can
always report back to his institution,
in which case the peasant loses GER
tain very worthwhile economic advan-
tages. For instance, if the boy stays
the peasant is freed from taxes for
three years; he gets 50 roubles, an
additional allotment Of land, and free
seeds OH taking such boy into his
family; this land, seeds, etc. is TO
start off the boy in rural life. Sim
ilarly, small artisans and other en-
ployers taking in such boys as APP
prentices are freed from state and
local taxes. and in addition they need
not pay the social insurance for them,
this being covered from other sources.
Bring Back Tools.
One of the most interesting stories
Of this arrangement was told me by
Hal Ware, an American farm expert
who is heading the American Re-
construction Farms" in North kuban.
This is a big outfit of 10000 acres
and 100 workers, plus 10 'bezprez-
horni" boys. They are no ordinary
farm-hands, are working in the ma
chine shop, 2 in the garage, 2 in the
carpenter shop and the other 4 are
still in school. They have cottage
of their own, and a Russian peasant
woman keeps house for them.
Two of the ten decided to run away,
stealing some tools as they went. Two
weeks later a letter was received from
them; they had been arrested and
wanted to come back. The farm sent
them money for their fare, but upon
arrival (they brought back all they
had stolen) a new difficulty arose
the other eight refused to readmit the
black sheep. Finally one was taken
back, he was misled it was said but
on the other they were adamant.
Farm Guarantees.
He had good stuff in him and was
honestly eager to make good. The
farm therefore paid his board with q

tionary governments had drifted into
q position of closer cooperation during
the last ten days. So far it has been
a military matter rather than diplo-
macy, but there are strong evidences
that under the crafty and skilful
manipulation of the British statesmen
aided by the international bankers, the
Coolidge-Kellogg administration was
being manipulated to the support of
the British.
There was every indication, that as
occurred in 1917, the United States was
heing subjected to an organized and
deliberate campaign of forcing the ma
ton to the support Of the British
against the yellow peril" This may
sound fantastic, but a scrutiny of the
reactionary press any day will give
indisputable evidence Of this fact
Sent Special Liar
The great newspapers who have
their own correspondents carry bitter
ly anti-Cantonese stories. These ac-
counts are so patiently hostile that it
s questionable II most Of them are
written from China. The New York
Times for some, so far unexplained,
reason dismissed its former Chinese
correspondent. Willard, and substi-
tuted for him Frederick Moore, for
11er American counsellor TO the Japan
csc. A check on his stories for
week proved him liar for every day
Of the seven.
The day this dispatch is being
written in Washington, TIE Times it
self makes him out liar by conflict
ing dispatches from its own CORE
spondents.
AS matter of fact his stories are
not news of events transpiring in the
Chinese situation but 'Thorror" stories
of alleged ATROCITIES" They are de-
liberate distortions calculated to
arouse racial resentment against the
Cantonese.
A. P. PrO-British
The press associations are treating
the matter as if it were some minor
revolution in South America. The
United Press has several men in
China, its staff wholly inadequate to
meet the demands of the situation.
AS a result much of its report is con-
cerned with alleged "horrors" and in
coherent hearsay.
The Associated Press carries prac-
tically all British propaganda. It's
chief correspondent is also head of
the Reuter- Service, the semi-official
British news service.
The Reuter- service devotes itself to
broadcasting alleged atrocity stories
and wild yarns. These dispatches are
somewhat curbed for American con-
sumption, bit their import is sent
through just the same.
The British are in most desperate
plight in China having suffered
heavily in the Chinese boycott. They
have greater interest than any other
nation Immediately concerned in Chi
nese developments. Downing Street
is desperately anxious to relieve itself
Of the odium Of its policy and is using
every resource at its command to OBJ
tain seconding from other nations and
particularly the United States.

family in the village, pledging a fin
ancial guarantee against any further
theft on his part 1t is very unlikely
that there will be any call to make
good All ten are direct fruits Of the
famine and can tell the most harrow
ing tales in a most matter Of fact
way An are orphans, famine or
phans.
Special Funds.
A few words about the methods
whereby the social funds are collected
and this subject can be considered
finished. The greatest part comes
from the state budget. But some Of
it is raised by special taxes. For in
stance, if one goes into restaurant
about eight o'clock one sees all menu
cards collected and others, containing
very much higher prices substituted.
The difference is a tax for the bez-
prozhorni The taxes on beer, on play
ing cards, and 500 Of the tax on
extra-profits of private concerns-all
for this purpose. The stamp tax on
certain days is also devoted to this
purpose.
But this is the state side. Many
and varied are the social measures.
The IS kopeck month dues have al
ready been mentioned. Here is an
other. Every time fellow worker
dies in an enterprise there is col
lection for flowers. Everyone chips
in a rouble, or so kopeks at least.
Several hundred, sometimes a thou
sand roubles are collected. Forty or
fifty are spent for flowers, the rest
for the bezprezhorni. We have lit
tie lunch counter. Pastry-very good
pastry, too the best in the world
are the Russian pirozhnoye-are
bought for IS kopeks each and sold
for 19-profit for the bezpreghorni.
And so it goes.
Workers State a Foster Parent
Yes, it is a problem, caring for
those relatively few Of our war and
famine waits that have not found
their way into the comradely embrace
of the social agencies of the workers
and peasants republic. It is no easy
Job this. But let not the capitalist
papers, sold on the streets through
the long winter nights by the starye
lings of HelPs Kitchen and Lime
house-let not such a vile outfit poke
any fingers at what is being done
here. This is our problem. 1t will be
taken care Of. 1t is being taken
care Of. And this with a patience,
forebearing. a human understanding
possible only from proletarian state.

Terminal Coal Company preparations
were made to reopen the company's
eight large mines on an open shop
basis as soon as possible, after work

years.

firm posted statement at each of
his mines. informing the miners they

any attempt to reopen the Pittsburgh

Smaller Concerns Sign
Just what effect the action of the
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company,
heretofore the largest union company
in the district, in attacking the union
will have on the smaller independent
operators was not apparent today.
Vice President Phil Murray an
nounced that the union already has
signed temporary agreements with
several Western Pennsylvania opera
tors which will enable them to con-
tinue operations until a new perma-
nent union agreement is reached.
Murray hoped to be able to state
later in the day how many companies
had signed such agreements.

HEALTH CAMP PA|GN
SET BY DOCTORS
To Fight Easily PreventabIe
Diseases

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Jan. AT the last
annual conference Of the State and
Provincial health authorities, the
president, w. w. Seymour, M. D.,
health officer of Saskatchewan, Can,
proposed that all the States and
provices unite behind a vigorous
campaign against three of our most
malignant, yet most easily prevent
able diseases, namely; diphtheria
smallpox and typhoid fever. The
conference, by UNANIMOUS vote,
adopted the suggestion and provided
that during the months OF Septem-
ber and October a united front
against diphtheria should be put on
by all the States and Provinces Sim
ilarly the months of November and
December were to be devoted to
smallpox immunization campaigns
and the months Of January and Feb
ruary should be devoted to united
drive against typhoid fever.
Any successful campaign toward
the further reduction in the incl
dents and mortality of typhoid
fever must take into consideration
the relation of typhoid fever to un-
supervised and unpasteurized milk
supplies of the country.
1t is a matter of common knowl.
edge to State departments Of health
that there are now more milk-borne
epidemics Of typhoid fever than
there are from public water supplies.
In 1924 twenty State health officers
reported thirty-three milk borne ty.
phoid fever epidenics. with a total
Of 1,013 cases and eighty-f1ve deaths.
In 1926 twenty-seven State health
officers reported thirty milk borne
typhoid fever epidemcs. with $50
cases and thirty-six deaths. The
reason why milk is so often a vehicle
for the transmission 0f typhoid few.
er is because of the large number
OF typhoid carrier cases, who.
though apparently well, are eliminat-

their intestinal discharges. We are
told that from to per cent of

It is well to remember that there

conditions, has been sufficiently pas
