(Secretary American Bridge League)
Our two previous articles have been
devoted to explaining q variation of
the club convention as compiled by
John H. Law and v. F. Boland of
Cleveland.
The principal point our readers
must bear in mind when this system
is being used is that an opening bid
OF one shows a minimum hand. II
the original bidders hand contained
three and one-half tricks, the bid
ding would be opened with one club
therefore when this system is used,
the partner of the original bidder
must be very careful in supporting
minimum one bids.
Examples showing the proper way
to handle this system when the orig
inal bidder opens with one of a suit
are given below We will assume thst
East and West always pass. South in
all cases holds the same hand and
opens the bidding with one spade.

A Story from Soviet Russia

life too we'll and had himself tastes
of the idiocy of the greedy, egotist
and stagnant life the peasants were
leading.
Then came the years of revolution
airy activities and study. Many books
had to be read. They brought with
them refreshing breeze that con-
demned the old order of things anc
brought with it hard revolutionary
ideas. Posdnyakov by his study de-
veloped capability of Immediately
seizing up the revolutionary essence
of even the most trifling occurrences
of common life.
A bundle of proclamationS was
found on Posdynakovs engine in 1913
He was exiled to Eastern Siberia, tt
Verholensk. The town is called the
BLEAK Pole" Here he spent foui
years among the natives, far away
from men and suffering from bitter
cold and gnawing hunger. Posdnya'
kov got the scurvy and lost his teeth
Only the February revolution set him
free.
+ I met Posdnyakov in 1923. Their
he was the director of one of the big
railways in the south, Red Special
ist." We inspected the line together
He would rise at five in the morning
and work till twelve at night. He in
spected the stations, looked about II
all corners, glanced into every hole
and even unscreWed the switches tt
see if the mechanism was in order.
He asked the engineers to make
short and concise reports. He Woulc
climb the locomotive and verify re-
pairs. He was always on the water
to notice the most trifling disorder
and would severely cut short any at
tempt of the directors OF various Sec
tons who endeavored, in the inter
ests of their own district, to VIOLATE
the strictly verified plans for the res
toration of the road.
He demanded, insisted and woulc
get what he was out for. He founc
the time to speak in the railway
mems meetings, to inspect clubs, tt
give advice and to carry out cultura
work. When he was through with the
inspection the engineers were often
almost on the verge Of a collapse ano
could hardly stand on their feet. "Ht
is not worker, but the devil him.
self" they would say in admiration
Sometimes Posdynakov would take
off his coat and show the locksmiths
in the depot how to do things, anc
the switchmen how to clean the
switches. With it all, he was very
polite. attentively listening to the
complaints of all and any. And how
he loved good jokel
For awhile lost track OF Posdyna-
kov. Recently I found out he nov
occupies a very high position IN one
of the Far Eastern Railways, anc
that since he has taken his post the
value of the road has been practlcally
doubled.

timers. The discussion is economic
and takes on a national, and then
an International aspect. Systems are
weighed, methods are thrashed out,
but concrete conclusions are few. Be-
hind it all, however, there is heart
ening undercurrent Of growing milf
fancy.
We hear of mission in China
town where we can get a place on
the floor to sleep on if We get there
in time. We hurry down and find
the flop on DoyerS st. There is a
long line waiting TO get in A bull
walks along the line and orders the
Negroes to get out. After a while
the line starts moving and about a
hundred get in. The door is closed
before We get to it ana - are told
TO beat it, the place is full. We get
a glimpse of the inside through a
window, The men are lying about,
practically upon each other. There
is a sickening stencil coming out.
COMEONE in line told us about
" municipal lodging house on East
25th st. We set out for it through
the slush and slime. 1t takes almost
ans hour to walk there. We get on
line for questioning. II we can prove
we are residents of New York City
we can come there all Of five nights
month. The city is good to its
homeless.
We get tickets and are sent to the
annex" We are pleasantly surprised
to find that we get bowl Of stew
and beds to sleep in. We get more,
coffee and bread, too What luck!
We sit down to eat and the joy
quickly fades. The stew is rotten slop
and after the first spoonful our weak,
empty stomachs rebel. We fish out
a stray bit of vegetable or two and
give up. Our CUTS are upset and ach-
ing.
We head for the beds. The great
barracks is cold and the blankets, one
to each bed, are thin and small. What
with the cold, the continual coughing
Of the sleepers, the smells and our
crazy acting insides, there is little
sleep. e.
At they start turning us out group
by group. We dress and go to the
nesSroom unwashed. There are no
washbowls or sinks in the place. We
get bowl of white, sticky mess which
is generally judged to be mostly laun-
dry starch. 1t had to be washed off
the teeth with the coffee. 1t was

together facing and fighting the

can see the rows Of filled-up peWs.

the place looks new they didn't seem

0OSDNYSKOV'S father was a con-
sumptive and good-natured poor
peasant from the Volgodsky District
In his youth he had worked with
the timber rafters. Having over
exerted himself, he had grown sick
and took to splitting blood each
spring.
AL the riches which the old man
possessed was a great wooden scarf
and which he valued so much that he
was never separated from 1t, even In
death, for 1t was buried with him.
When Posdnyskov was fifteen years
old, his father went with him to the
neighboring station, where they Wis
tied a countrynan of his who was a
fireman The boy was given a jot
in the railway depot. From time tc
time he got thrashed by the masters
He lived in barracks that were
painted the color Of raw meat, among
workers who were always tired ano
covered with grease.
After four years the engine driver
Kovissin, took Posdnyakov with him
to the engine. Once tall engineer
with face as red as a poppy called
the boy a blockhead, because in pol
ishing the piston rods he had left
little pieces of worsted on the shining
steel. Posdnyakov was deadly Of
u hi
sWore under his breath.
Then came the year 1905. Posdyna'
kov was already the engine-driver OF
a freight train. During the genera.
strike he stopped the train at the
station of Mitshchy, near Moscow
and put out the fires. He went &c
the first meeting in the MitishchJ
Depot, where he heard them talking
of liberty. His fists clenched. The
new words were g. revelation to him
All his life he has remembered the
red. flags unfurled over the smoke
stacks of his engines, when they go'
ready to go to Moscow, where, ac-
cording to rumors, the revolt had al
ready started.
Posdnyakov drove the first trair
carrying in armed workers. Tht
night was rark and all fires were put
out. They stopped in the suburbs
and entered the town on foot. The
city was lit by the fire of many burn
ing houses. They crossed empty
building sites, vegetable gardens and
complicated network of rails.
Posdnyakov fought on the barri-
eades, He was with them along the
whole heroic and bloody road from
the "Chisty Prudi" to the "Presnia.
He was wounded on the "GorbatJ
Most"
The socialist revolutionaries KEEP
him in hiding for six whole months.
He joined their party, but later or
left them and joined the Bolsheviks
He thought that the orientation OF
the socialist revolutionaries on the
peasants was entirely wrong anc

A Victim of US. Bank Crash

Her hands are callous from scrubbing
floors all her life.
When l came into her house she
was finishing her lunch. Herring,
sour pickles, black bread and coffee
was all she had.
This poor worker lost close 20 $4,000
in the United States Bank crash. For
her entire life in the United States,
she has been scrunbing floors at
Schraffs at a miserable wage. In adj
dition to that, she takes in outside
work.
All her life she worked very hard
to save some money for her old age
and now the capitalist takers have
taken it away from her.
With bitter tears she told me her
story. When Sc came to the branch
where her mon " was deposited and
stood in line for several hours and
when she got tired standing there
and became restless, the cops told her
to keep her mouth shut or else she'd
have to leave the line. She also said
that the reason she depositedher
money in the U. S. Bank was because
she thought it was a government
bank.
I explained to her that the workers
savings are always in danger under
capitalist government that The only
place where the workers are sure of
their savings is in the Soviet Union.
where the workers control the gov
