part of June, 1882 visiting the tim
Der country in the Archangel district
and the northern Dvina River. They
afterwards made afhdavits as to what
they saw.
In Archangel the party visited saw
mills and lumber yards and watched
the loading of ships, and in no case
could they find anything that looked
like forced or convict labor. The Wis
itors talked directly with scores of
workers-Withcut the use Of an in
terpreter-and the workers were I'M
animous in agreeing that they were
working of their own free will and
could leave whenever they liked. Ac-
cording to their aflidavits, the young
workers engaged in this work hooted
any suggestion that they were woiti-
ing against their will. They said:
I'm Soviet Russia every one must
work if he wants to earn a living
that is the only forced thing about
our labor"

In the impending class battles in

part. Even now the Negro toiIers
are beginning to find their place in
the revolutionary class struggle (An-

The U, S. capitalists see in the OPP

NEW YORK.-The new program
OF the City Emergency Work and Re
lief Administration announced by
Mayor O'Brieu, for shifting twenty
five thousand men on home relief
to work relief payrolls, is denounced
by the Unemployed Council of Great
er New York as a demagogic scheme
for cutting relief levels and wage
standards under the prete1t of help
ing the unemployed,
Under this plan, workers and their
families viii be denied relief or cut
off the relief rolls unless the family
heads agree to what is virtually
forced labor at wages less than axe
now being paid regular city en-
ployecs. As this plan progresses, if
the organized protest of the en-
ployed as well as unemployed workers
does not stop it, thousands more of
the employees Of city departments
will be thrown into the ranks of the
unemployed. Prevailing rates Of pay
established by years Of struggle by
the trade unions will be undermined
by the unwilling and enforced COM
petition of workers on so-called re-
lief projects. Already thousands of
family heads have been fired by the
Emergency Work Bureau with thou
sands more expected to be thrown
into the streets soon.
Cali for Public Hearing
The IJnemnlOve5 Council of Great
err New York will demand Of Mayor
O'Brien and the Board of Estimate
the immediate calling of Public
Hearing at City Hall where the suf-
rering and misery enforced upon the
unemployed by the City Relief Ad-
ministration and graft and corrup-
ton to which workers are subjected
may be exposed. The Council will
introduce legislative measures at
such FUblic Hearing in the inter
ests of the unemployed, calling for:
l. Immediate registration and re-
lief without red tape and delay for
all those in need.
2. Cash payment of all relief in
stead of vouchers
8. Single people to be given full
relief in their homes instead Of in
stitutions or camps.
4 Discharged relief employees to
be re-hired or placed on relief at
sums equivalent to their former pay
ment without re-investigation.
s. All relief work to be paid for
at trade union rates.
6, Increased relief at a. minimum
Of $40 a week cash for unemployed
couples, So additional for each de-
pendent, and 81 a day cash minimum
for single workers.
7, Shelter to be provided for all
the homeless and those in homes to
be protected from eviction by low
orirg Of rents and repeal Of the evic-
ton law.
