ing hours Of misery we spend daily
in this big shop because this wealthy
company will not install heating
plant. Instead, old fashioned fire
salamanders are used, and these are
not able to radiate the heat for
more than ten feet.
Wherever there is any water in
the shop it quickly turns to ice I'M
less it is running water. All the
compressed air machines are con-
tinually stopping, the air freezing
in them, and they have to be thawed
out with fire.
We have to continually go over to
the fires to warm up and if we are
seen standing around the fire we
run the risk of being discharged.
We are compelled to wear lots CT
clothes in order to keep from freez-
ing stiff.
When it is zero weather outside
it is zero weather plus inside. For
acre than half the day large doors
are wide open to let traffic in and
out, and the windows are kept open
nearly all the time. Daily we have
to go out in the snow and cold wind
to get wheel barrows of coke for
the fires. The fumes of these coke
fires are poisonous.

To workers and poor farmers Of u.
e, A.
Dear comrades:
! wish TO inform you o. our
achievements and constructive work
in the krasnol.akshaisk district
iJoshkar Ola-in Marian language)
Of the Marian Autonomous pro-
vince. The Marian autonomous pro-
vince (the centre of which is the
above mentioned Krasnokokshaisk
was formed after the workers and
peasants took the power in their
hands. Under the Tzarist regime
the administrative center was stu
atad about twenty versts from the
village, but after the formation OF
The autonomous province we have
lu-cl councils situated not farther
than seven versts from each other.
Our village has now a reading room.
We had no railways in our dis
trict under the reign of the bloody
Nicolas, but in 1928 a railway was
constructed which leads to the CEN
ter of the Marian province. Being
a soldier during the imperialistic
and civil wars, had full opportun-
;ty to see for myself how the cap
italist government ''tried" to I'M
prove the life of the peasantry and
especially-to improve the lines Of
communication Owing to the ub-
sence OF railroads, we had some
times to go on foot about 120-150
versts. The capitalist government
only oppressed the population, tried
to poison them with religions rites
which now seem to be quite useless
for many of us. We are interested
now. in other things-so the Soviet
government has erected an cleo
trical station which provides energy
for the whole of the town. for the
reighboring villages and also for q
mill. Certainly we should not have
all this under the Tzarist regime.
Collective farms are growing in
Soviet Union very rapidly. We now
possess tractors. reaping machines
and thrashing machines of which
we could not even dream before.
Our peasantry pays very low
taxes. For example: my family
consists of three members. We have
six hectares of land, one horse, two
cows and do not pay any taxes.
We are now fulfilling the five
year plan Of the development Of our
national economy. After this plan
is achieved, tractors and combines
will be largely used. We recon
structed idle factories and works
and erected new factories. The cap
ltalists of the whole world wish to
handicap our constructive work,
wish to provoke a war. Let them
try to Go it!
DSa- comrades! I an, anxious.
to know about the relationship be-
tween you and the owners of fac
tories and works as well as about
the relationship between the land
owners and the peasaIltry. / wish
also to know your opinion about the
increase Of armament in capitalist
countries and about the intention
Of capitalists to provoke war.
With the greatest desire to hear
from you as quickly as possible, /
am, comrades your most sincere
friend from the Soviet Union.
