Forced Labor" Lies Hit by Soviet
Worker; Tells Of Role OF the Youth

cent attacks made by the capitalist
countries against Soviet timber and
wood-pulp exports is nothing more
than a maneuver which has in view
the preparation for an armed as
sault against the Soviet Union.
The working class and the peas
antry of the U.s.s.R are fighting the
internal and external class enemy
and we are conscious that we must
strengthen the international pro!e-
tartan brotherhood and keep in
touch with the whole proletariat,
which will be our ally in the com-
ing decisive struggles.
Long live the international soil

PORTLAND, Ore.-The annual re-
lease Of figures for the amount OF
compensation paid workers in Or

Total amount of compensation
paid in 1880 was s2.694, 1922. This
is supposed to sound like a large
amount. but If it was just paid
to the families of the 153 workers
who died in industrial" accidents. it
would not amount to $500 for each

Moscow, U.S.S.R.

MOSCOW, y 30 Dit.
Daily Worker:
The capitalist press is disseminat-
ing false reports regarding forced"
and Juvenile labor in the Soviet
Union. All great capitalist countries
are competing in the spreading of
these rumors. The smaller countries
are following in their footsteps. But
all the assertions made by the CAPT.
talist press do not hold water.
The conditions of our forest WORT
ers are steadily improving. During
the last season the Soviet Govern
ment built 1,700 new barracks for
the woodmen, % houses for office
workers, 355 restaurants, 1855 Rus
sian Turkish baths and 305 Red Cor
ners. All of which is proof enough
that the Soviet Union takes greater
care of its lumber workers than any
other country in the world. There
is no forced or prison labor in the
Soviet Union, and impartial experts
in forest work of Great Britain and
the United States ridicule these
statements, condemning them as
falsehoods.
Youth In Industry.
What is the position of Juvenile
labor in the U. S. S. r.? Unemploy-
ment is being, abolished, not only
among the adults, but also among
the youth of working age. The num-
Der of young people between is and
IT in the cities of the U. S. S. r.
equals 100000; $4,000, or 80 per
cent, of these are already working
In 1881, 100000 more will receive
work. This means that not only the
city-born youth can have work in
industry, but over 100000 country
born young people wishing to work
in industries will find it. What are
their conditions of labor? Young
sters Of IA and 16 are not allowed
to work more than four hours. Night
work is strictly forbidden. In in
dustries harmful to health nobody
under 10 is allowed. A months holi-
day with full pay is given to all
workers under IS. The juvenile
workers are all insured and those
who need it are sent to sanitoriums,
to health resorts, homes of rest, etc.
The usual road to industrial work
lies for Soviet youth through fac
tory schools. In these schools they
get professional instruction and
work for four hours daily and spend
another four hours in receiving in
struction of a more general charac-
ter. Boys and girls from IA up
wards are enlisted in these schools,
where they remain for three or four

ROWDOTTOM TO
FACE FEDERAL
COURT FRIDAY
200 Other Persons Also
Are to Be Arraigned Be-
fore Judge BaItzeII.

Harry z. Rowbottom, Evansville,
Republican congressman from the
First Indiana district, indicted on
nine counts for alleged sale" of
postal appointments, will be ar
raigned in federal court Friday.
He is charged with accepting $3.50
in trade for patronage.
Along with Rowbottom, approx
mately 200 other persons named in
1876 indictments returned by the
federal grand jury, will appear be-
fore Judge Robert c. Baltzell to
make pleas on liquor, narcotic and
theft charges.
Whether Rowbottom will plead
guilty to charges of accepting
brides that led to dismissal of four
southern Indiana postmasters and
a rural mail carrier is a matter of
conjecture. If plea of not guilty
is entered, he probably will be tried
at Evansville about April 13.
Five persons named as recipients
of Rowbotttom's influence have not
been indicted and will testify, for
the state in case of trial. Row
bottom probably will be represented
by his attorney, Philip G. Gould
of Evansville.
Rowbottom has been free under
$4,000 bond since his arrest in
Evansville several weeks ago. He
