 Pursuing a policy of conserva- tiveness in the hope of bringing permanent prosperity to agriculture the board has taken steps 10 edu- cate the farmers to the advantages of cooperative marketing and the disadvantages of surplus produc- ton.
 A banking division to handle loans from the s5O0,000,OOO fund has been created and the coopera- tive marketing division of the agri- culture department has been trans ferred to the board by President Hoover to stimulate organization of cooperatives.

 Although the loans of about S40,- 0Q0,oQ0 already made mostly are supplemental to advances by the federal intermediate credit banks on commodities. the board expects to be able to make loans for facili- ties to cooperatives to store crop surpluses as soon as they qualify.
 The cooperatives which have not already qualified for loans will, be investigated by both the banking and cooperative marketing divisions to give the board reasonable assur- ance that the government funds will be returned.

The last one TO board the ships was
our commanding officer. Due to
the fact that he was so full of
coke" (cocaine), it took six men to
put him on the ship. The reason.
for this resistance was that he fell
in love with one of the prostitutes
in Siberia and he insisted on staying
unless she went along with him.
When we were nearing Manila we
were formed into company groups
in front of our commanders. We
were told that we would be APP

Manila and San Francisco, and that
If any enlisted men would answer
their questions or give any informa-
ton about what we had seen going
on in Siberia, ne would be severely
punished for it by court martial. We
certainly were sore to be taken out
of country where the temperature
was often Is below zero and to be
marooned on a tropical island with
a temperature of ITO degrees in the
shade. Regardless of this sudden
change, we were forced to drill and
slave in hot tropical sun while our
officers were lying around in their
artificially cooled quarters, enjoying
all the comfort that their we'll
trained flunkies could produce, such
as gin-bucks, ice-cold lemonade, etc
Many of the boys died because they
could not get used to the climate,

room are working from in the
morning to 6 at night. The night
weaver starts at 6 p. m. and quits
at a. m. This makes a two shift
job.
Also the yarn is so bad that it
keeps the weavers busy all the time
and they have no time to snatch even
a light lunch. Before they used to
be able to sit and eat, now they are
on their feet all day long. Some of
the weavers are running IL looms,

streets like buck privates with their
insignia in their pockets. The allied
officers ordered a strong line of re-
sistance around Vladivostok and ex-
pected to give the Bolsheviks a hot
reception on their arrival. But the
Russians were always clever enough
to outwit them, and beat them at
their own game. Saturday came
and to everyone's surprise there was
big Red parade down Dwetlanska
Utica, the Main st. of Vladivostok.
And the allied troops were still on
the outskirts of the city waiting to
give the Russians the "hot" recep-
ton.
How did the Bolsheviks get into
the city? was the question. You
see they were there right along.
Some were inside the army of Kol-
chalk and others were in the city as
workers. Only they were waiting
for orders from their newly organ
lied Workers government when to
declare their presence. This appear
ance of the Bolsheviks inside the
city was quite an embarrassment
for the imperialist officers. To let
the Ignorant" Bolsheviks slip one
over on them certainly made them
feel pretty punk. However, when
they saw that nothing that they
could do could defeat the Bolsheviks,
they hypocritically made formal
congratulations to the leaders of the
Red Army for their bloodless cap
ture of Vladivostok.
Every Bolshevik campaign was
carefully planned, so as to make all
battle engagements as bloodless as

due to the fact that the officer in
charge of the venereal ward was
criminally insane and always full of
cocaine. This officer was allowed
to occupy this position until he
caused number of deaths and was
responsible for many human wrecks.
We had the most modern war
equipment in the world. Regardless
CT all these advantages over the
poorly armed Bolsheviks, our Off
GERS showed the utmost lack of
courage. Our own company COM
mander was so yellow that wherever
he went he had large bodyguard
accompanying him, even if he had
to walk a distance of sfew PAGES.
During battle skirmishes, or on
night patrols, the officers would re-
move all their insignia in order to
avoid detection by the Bolsheviks.
The Russians would not harm the
enlisted men; that is why the pri-
Yates had nothing to fear. Our
"superiors" were always trying to
put fear into US and poison our
minds against the Russians, but the
hospitality of the Bolshevik soldiers
to US was such that we were on most
friendly terms with them.
Some time in the early part of
1920. after the fall of Admiral Kol-
chak's government, word came that
the Bolsheviks were advancing to-
ward Vladivostok, which was the al
lied headquarters. 1t was rumored
that they would occupy the city by
Saturday. Then you ought to see
the fear among all the allied Off
GERS. They walked through the

to arbitration their demands for
S2.85 per hundred pounds of milk.
They had been offered $3.50. This

Farmers had developed militant

an average of 100000 pounds Of

Many hundreds of thousands of
pounds were poured out after farm

same pay as those running IL looms.
Now that I am speaking about pay
here is a good chance to mention
that the weavers get an average of
$50 to S25 week, where they ought
to be getting S35 and $40, and still
/ would not call that good pay for
the hours they have to put in.
The jacquard weavers are run
ming six looms and the yarn is so bad
that half the time the looms are
stopped. These weavers are also
working on the same basis as the
weavers of the box and plain looms.
This means they do their own clean
ing and scrubbing. The weavers get
S18 to $40 week. The sanitary con-
ditions in the Dartmouth Mill are
rotten. There are times when the
floor is so full of waste that it looks
more like a pickers' room. The lava-
tory is dirty and half the time the
floor is full of water and the weav-
ers hate to go in there. The walls
that should be spick and span are
spattered with dirt and look like

possible and at the same time clev-
erly outwit the imperialist gener-
ais. In order to do this, the Reds
planted part of their army within
the enemy's lines, weeks before a
conflict, so that at the right mo-
ment they could spread leaflets and
call upon the enemy forces to Join
the Red soldiers, This proved more
effective than bullets.
There were huge piles of coal in
the coal yards of Vladivostok that
were guarded by the American
forces. The Russian people were
not allowed to use this coal to keep
themselves warm. But when the
Workers government took charge
there was a radical change from
hunger, cold and misery, to JOY
amongst the workers. Food and
fuel were distributed among the
workers and hospitals were opened
to them. Palaces and apartment
hotels were thrown open for families
that did not have homes. While all
this was going on the American en-
listed men were restricted by the
officers to their quarters. Strong
chain guards were placed about
them to deprive them from getting
into close relations with the Bolshe-
viks. But that did not stop us.
Most of us found ways to slip away
and learn the real facts. Many of
our own boys even participated in
the big Red demonstrations and
were punished for it by our soldiers.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. (By MaiD.-
The American army in Siberia gave
the Russians a poor impression of
"Americanism' as taught in the
schools of this country. AS an ex-
service man now residing in Mil
waukee, Wis, who has had more
than three years service with one
of the American regiments and who

Siberia, can state accurately just
what ! saw in the army.
When we were stationed IN ST.
IBERIA, engaged in fighting the Boil
sheviks, our officers showed the
greatest streaks of yellow in Skin
mishes with poorly armed Russian
workers, and would take to their
heels at the first shot. Many of our
own enlisted men are probably still
doing time in the United States pris-
ons for taking their officers ex-
amples in seeking amusements.
There was quite a bit of venereal
disease brought into Siberia by the
japanese forces and it did not take
very long to spread throughout the
whole "red light" district of Vladivo-
stok. This "red light" district was
protected by Admiral Kolchak's
White Terror government, which
was a government financed and

ANSONIA BOSSES
TRAIN WORKERS
FOR SLAUGHTER
May Force Worker to
Fight Worker
(By a Worker Correspondent

ANSONIA, Conn.,, (By MaiD.-
Steps are being taken for the mill
tarization of sections of the workers
in the shops and plants of this city,
aStording to Neil M. Paulsen, COM
mander of the First Company, Ma
tional Guard, stationed here.
This was made known by the local
jingoes after a conference was held
between the employers association
and the militiamen. Elaborate plans
have been discussed for the military
drilling and training of select group
of workers from each shop and fac
tory. Paulsen stated that "the time
was coming fast when every indus
trial town will be a battle front of
guerrilla warfare and the forces of
anarchy will reign supreme unless
we prepare and train the patriotic
citizenry to cope with the situation"
The plans he outlined and which
were accepted by the bosses of this
city are for the foreman in each shop
or factory in conjunction with a
militiaman to select a number of
men-American born-for training,
who have "unquestionable and loyal
records of service to their employ
ers." Foreign-born workers too will
be selected, but these must be vouch-
ed for by the local priest for their
loyalty to American institutions"
All workers selected will be released
from work at A p. M, 8 days a week,
without loss of pay. Great emphasis
will be laid upon training in riot
duty, the use of riot guns, the dis
persal of assembled crowds, strike
duties, etc, according to the plan.
This plan by the jingoes and bosses
of Ansonia is not only for the train
ing of cannon fodder for the coming
imperiaist war, but also for the pur-
pose of splitting the ranks of the
workers by training the most docile
and loyal to the bosses for use
against the militant workers when
the latter fight against their slavery.
