The following Is from "Souiet
Trade Unions" By Robert W. D1u,n,
published By the TTng1rTu Press.
THE Russian trade unions are COM
\ paratively young organizations.
Capitalism got a very late start in
the Russian Empire and the protec-
tive organizations of the workers
were correspondingly late in making
their appearance. Among the Rus
sian trade unionists of today there
are very few old workers who can
share "reminiscences about the early
struggles of the unions as such. But
you will find many who were active
in the work of the Social Democratic
Labor Party and who participated in
spontaneous strikes before 1905 and
in the difficult illegal political life
of those days. If the Russian trade
union leader has past" it will be
largely political rather than union
one. For the former was the domi-
nant form of organization in the
early days.
Beginning with the seventies and
eighties Of the last century the work
ers did resort to sporadic strilss. The
leaders of these strikes were usually
connected with some revolutionary
party such as the Social Democrats.
Such strikes, although often surpris-
ingly widespread considering the
small organization behind them, were
usually crushed by the police and the
leaders imprisoned or exiled to ST.
IBERIA. There were thus strikes and
struggles of the workers but not real
unions. Mere membership in an or
ganization was crime. Clause 318
Of the Russian Criminal Code of 1874
read in part:
persons accused of belonging to
societies having the aim of rousing
hostility between employers and
workers as well as provoking strikes
are liable to imprisonment for eight
months with deprivation of rights
and property and exile to Siberia"
In spite of this, however, there
were underground workers organiza-
tions with a political leadership.

and well conditioned" rum, rood
and shackles and other necessary ma
terials for the slave trade "and
SO God send the good schooner to her
desired port in safety. Amen"
Spears tells the story of one good
New England elder whose ventures
on the slave coast had uniformly
turned out well. He always returned
thanks on the Sunday following the
arrival of the SLAYER in the harbor of
Newport that an overruling Provi-
dence had been pleased to bring to
this land of freedom another cargo
of benighted heather to enjoy the
blessings of gospel dispensation."
Slavery at the beginning of the
18th century was widespread. English
colonies held 100000 slaves, French
250,0G0, Danish $1,000, Spanish and
Portuguese 100000, Dutch $4,000,
Swedish 600. There were also about
100000 slaves in Brazil and 100000
in the United States. Christendom
was building its prosperity on the
African slave trade.
At this period the slave trade was
and profitable. The trad
ers in every important mercantile
country were competing for it with

AVERCONFIDENCE in the average
Y legionnaire's capacity for mental
calisthenics is suggested in the fol-
lowing lines by Frederick Palmer in
the American Legion Monthly:
Among the delegates to the great
political conventions will be legion
members back of every candidate pre-
sented Each legionnaire by complete
ly divorcing his Legion self from his
political self will be able to make his
party's rule the better for the nation

There is a campaign on foot by
the militarists to persuade the sons
of deceased war veterans to go to
West Point and Annapolis, in accord
ance with bill passed by the gov
eminent. Boys who grew up without
fathers may now be able to fix it SO
that their own sons may have the
same advantages.
Staggering pretense and insulting
lies born of avarice are seen in the
spacious advertising of the capitalists.
Joe Cook, star of Rain or Shine, in
ordersto raise few extra dollars with
which to buy Melachrino cigarettes,
allow his name to be added to the
following prize Bologna:

An infallible method of beating the
ponies is by padding payroIIs, ac-
cOrding to William j. Oswald, indist-
ed Tammany district, street cleaning
superintendent of the Bronx. Oswald
declared that the "horses" never fail
ed to win. Lougheed, his subordin-
ate, agreed on the winnings but in
sisted on the padded payrolls as
more certain source of revenue.
Without quite saying so Oswald
implied that his almost perfect rec
ord with the race horses was a re-
suit Of his Churchly ways. Oswald is
choir singer and regularly can be
heard to MARBLE:
Lets all stand up for Jesus, Wen
all stand up for Jesus"
Whereupon Oswald would go out

of the employing class is noted in the
following virtuous words of Roe

SIR HUGH OF TABARIE

Then Sir Hugh took the Kings feet
and put on them some shoes made OF
brown leather. saying:

After this Sir Hugh produced pair
Of golden spurs, saying:
Sire, this is TO remind you that as
swiftly as war-horse plunges into the
battle. you should fight az a soldier OF
God in defense Of His church"
Then. finally. Sir Hugh held sword
before the King. saying:
"Sire. this sword signifies three i'm
portant lessons-courage. justice and
loyalty. The cross at the hilt IL sup
posed to give the bearer courage-for
the knight who girds this sword upon
him should never fear the strong Ad-

The King listened 10 All these words
very carefully. and asked X there was

"Sire. there il. II il the accolade-
which il A blow upon the neck given

the newly made knight may remember
forever the lord who did him that
honor. But / cannot deal such

So that night. az a feast where 80
lords Of Saladin's realm were present.
Sir Hugh Tabarie sat on cushion AZ
the Kings feet. Al the close Of the
banquet. Sir Hugh got up and spoke:
