SOVIET GROUPS
PUT ALL FUNDS
IN FAMILY POT
Movement Is Encouraged
by Government; Expenses
Are Shared.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press staf Correspondent

MOSCOW, April 4.-Voluntary
communes, in which groups Of peo-
pie merge all their earnings and live
a completely communistic life. are
being formed in ever increasing
numbers throughout the Soviet
union
Such communes have been in ex-
istence ever since the revolution,
especially among students. But in
the last few months, under the spur
Of the general drive toward social
ization, they have acquired the pro-
portions of a national mass move
ment.
Their number, indeed, has become
so large that a congress of repre-
sentatives is being called in an eff
fort to put the movement on a more
organized basis. The government
and the Communist party, of course
are encouraging this tendency in
every way possible.
Everything Shared
The movement taxes different
forms. In size, the communes range
from few friends sharing an apart
ment in common to entire houses
or groups of houses in which all
earning, all spending and all
domestic work such as cooking and
care of children, are done cOmmun-
istically.
A commune in Moscow visited by
your correspondent will indicate the
general nature OF the arrangement
1t contains about fifteen families,
all living in the same house. The
earnings of all are put into a COM
mon fund out of which the living
expenses of the whole group are
paid
Although some of the families
earn only about 100 rubles a month
and several as high as 300 rubles,
they contribute their entire salaries
and share alike in the common
fund This is in accordance with
the golden rule Of communism:
From each according to his abiI-
ity, to each according to his
Wives Children Work
In several of the families. the
wives and sometimes children also
work. Their wages likewise are
thrown into the general pot.
Special rules govern the extent to
which members may draw upon the
common funds for pocket money,
theaters and other indulgences and
definite appropriations are made
from month TO month for clothes
and other special expenditures.
Several servants, a cook, a kinder
garten teacher and other employees
of the commune as a whole are
paid out OF the common fund. In
addition, the women OF the COM
mune take turns in house cleaning
and other tasks, from which those
women who work outside are freed.
The harder domestic chores, such
as Wood-chopping, are divided
among the men.
Leaders of The group admitted to
the writer that a good deal of fric-
ton develops occasionally. Some
times it is even necessary to eX-
clude some family because it is I'M
willing or unable to live on a COM
munal basis. A good many COM
munes go smash in the early
stages OF their existence.
