} | PRAYER PICKET FACE WRATH OF OKLA. GOVERNOR Law Machinery Fights Granting of Writs OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Aug. 28 —tThe entire legat resources of Okla: homa will be put into the fight against the striking miners of Okmulgee coun. try who are charged with violating a’sheriff’s order prohibiting ‘religious’ Meetings near the struck Henryetti mine. Four miners were arrested when they refused to obey’ the order of the sheriff prohibiting ‘the “religious” meetings. The men asked that habeas corpus writs be issued granting them their freedom on the grounds that the sheriff had exceeded his authority in his zeal to serve the mine owners. The county prosecutor fought tha issuance of the writs. Now Governor. ‘Trapp announces that he’ will place the entire machinery of the attorney géneral’s office at the disposal of the county attorney in fighting the writs. The whole trouble started when a court issued an injunction prohibiting picketing and the miners began to gather in the public roadway and kneel in prayer asking God to stop the scabs and “bring light to their hearts.” This the court held was a violation of its injunction and the sheriff prohibited meetings of any sort, including “religious” meetings. The miners paid no attentioy to the proclamation of the sheriff amd the arrest of the four miners followed. Attorneys for the four men then tried to secure writs for their release. Ar- gument on the issuance of the writs has not been finished coahae Coolidge ‘Attorneys Dismiss the Appeal on Teapot Decision WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The gov+ ernment dismissed Its appeal from the decision of Chief Justice McCoy, of the District of Columbia supreme’ court, quashing the first conspiracy indictments against ex-secretary of interior, Albert B.

The inches THE DAILY WORKER TWENTY COUNTRIES TO CELEBRATE 200th ANNIVERSARY OF RUSSIAN ACADEMY; ENLARGED UNDER SOVIET NEW YORK, August 20,—Leading American universities and scientific institutions have been invited to send representatives to the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Science, which will be held ‘in Moscow from September 5 to September 15. One of the purposes of the celebration is to revive and strengthen the contacts between Russian scientists and those of other countries interrupted ‘by war and revolution. Invitations have been sent to sci About portant country in the world. of countries, will attend. Among the Americans who are reported to have accepted are Dr. H. H.

It was the Russian expression of the eneral scientific development of thé 8th century, particularly in physics nd mathematics. The German philo- ee and mathematician Leibnitz irew up the Russian Academy’s pro- Tam. Other German scientists organized various departments of research. In its early days the academy’s greatest. contribution was in geography. It ex- plored and charted Russia’s immense stretches of territory. During the 19th century the academy’s work won the esteem of West European scientists, who invited the Russian Academy to join the International Association of Academies. Until the revolution the Russian Academy was dominated by the czar and the nobility. It suffered from the general lack of system characteristic of czarist Russia. Attempts to sys- tematize the academy’s work were be- gun in 1912, but were interrupted by the war. The chaos which attended the Rus- sian civil wars wrought great hard- ships on the scientists. They were exposed to cold and famine. They had | no means for carrying on research, publishing books and magazines or taking care of institutions. The la- boratories were deserted for lack of fuel. However, the defeat of the counter- revolution and the raising of the al- lied blockade enabled the Soviet gov- ernment to come to the assistance of the scientists. Early in 1921 a de- putation from the academy visited Lenin and laid the situation before him. Subsequently the Soviet govern- ment appropriated money for the re- storation and extension of scientific work. Under the Soviet Government. The academy has since then restor- ed libraries, collections, and museums disturbed or neglected during the ci- vil war. The academy’s library, which before the war contained 3,000,000 volumes, has been increased to 4,- The collections of the zoological, ethnographic, miner- alogical and Asiatic museums have been increased to such an extent that the Soviet government has had to enlarge their headquarters, making special appropriations for equipment and repairs. With this assistance the Russian Academy of Science has been able to PATTERNS | BLOUSE ENSEMBLE. 5206-5211, Phis comprises a Blouse | 5205 with “epaulette” shoulders, and 6211 a circular two piece Skirt with the popular “kick” plait.

A Year's Work—1924, The great strides made by the Rus- sian Academy since the revolution and the improvement of general eco- nomic conditions is indicated in its report for 1924. During that year the academy held 64 meetings at which 112 papers were read discussing 85 important questions. Four hundred additional papers were read at meet- ings of different sections of the aca- demy. In addition, the academy published 55, scientific books, copies of which were sent abroad; and 78 expeditions were sent to the Urals, Siberia, Mon- golia, Central Asia, North and South Russia, etc. The physiological laboratory carried on research on the occipital lobes of the higher animals. Other depart- ments prepared a catalogue on the life cultufe, social structure, and re- ligions of India; and studied the bio- ¢eemical properties of human blood. Important work was also done by the Asiatic Museum which prepared for Jublication 340 volumes of Dao-Jean ind other Chinese works. The academy also stimulated an in- terest in applied science. Researches and experiments have been carried on in the separation of metals by ni- trogin under high temperature and pressure; Crimean lakesal has been analyzed; and a new system of mak- ing seismographs has been invented. The academy worked in close co- operation with economic organiza- tions and with the government. It has prepared maps and other material for the government and is working with the State Planning Commission with a view to study Russian natural resources. Other government com- missions with which the academy co- operates are conducting studies in race problems, tropical countries, the polar regions, literature, dictionaries, and bibliographies. Some Leading Academicians, Important are also Prof. Steklov’s studies in the basic problems of ma- thematical physics; Prof. Numerov’s astronomical studies; Prof. Joffe’s studies on the atomic structure of matter; and Prof. Pavlov’s studies in biology, psychiatrics and pathology. The academy has already re-estab- lished many of its contacts with scien- tists of other countries. Charles D. Walcott of the Smithonian Institute of Washington, D. C.; Fridjof Nansen of Norway; A. I. Thompson of Eng- land; and scientists of various other countries are honorary members of the academy. Among the academy's corresponding members are Dr. Alexis Garrel of New York and Prof. A. A. Michelson of the University of Chi- cago; Louis Bauer of Washington, .D. C.; Madame Curie, and Albert Ein- stein. Scientists of twenty countries have accepted the invitations to at- tend the celebration on September 15. There are 41 members of the Rus- sian Academy of Science. Among them are A. P. Karpinsky, geologist, president of the academy; V. A. Stek- lov, mathematician, vice-president of the académy; S. F. Oldenburg, orien- talist, secretary; I. P. Borodin, botan- ist; A. P. Pavlov, paleontologist; A. F. Joffe, physicist; and Y. V.

Complaints grow continually day af-, ter day, larger and larger, until drill time the squads dre skeletonized, that is, the rear ranks instead of contain- ing four men as they are supposed to, hold only two, and at other times it is mecessary to amalgamate two squads into one, in order to make a showing on the parade grounds. This is the. truth about the grand and glorious time promised to the young work The month's vaca- tion consists “of hard drill, and par- ades twelvé hous a day, after which there is side’ work to do, such as cleaning rifles,: getting the tents in order, ete. ,The vacation seekers are under the commands of all kinds of petty officials—from mere croporals who are embryonic officers to the higher ups sueh as majors and cap- tains, every minute of the day.

There is evidence to doubt the suc- cess of propaganda for re-enlistments. Most of them are sick of the mono- tony and rigid discipline and are cer- tainly anxious.for the month to pass quickly, In fact, most of them have learned that’ training to be a soldier for capitalism is far from being a vacation, but ‘is’ hard labor. Young proletarians should take a lesson from these facts, ang not permit theni- selves to be lured into sweat camps and understand that it is*nothing and can be nothing for them but a change from one kind of hard labor into an- other. They should instead organize and in this way present a demand for yearly paid vacations. If you want to see the Com- munist movement grow—get a sub for the DAILY WORKER. Eee PITTSBURGH, PA.

PRODUCTION AT PRE-WAR LEVEL IN SOVIET UNION WASHINGTON, August 23—(FP)— Industrial production {n the Soviet Jnion during the fiscal year 1925-26, will reach 98 '3,600,000,000, according to estimates which the Russian Information Bu- reau in Washington has received from ]the state planning commission. This commission expects agricul- ural production from the 1925 crops to reach 92 per cent of the 1913 pro- uction. This, in spite of the fact that the Soviet Union has only 75 per ent as many people as Russia had in 913, before her best-developed ter- itory in the west was taken from her to form parts of Roumania, Poland, and the new Baltic states. Industrial production in 1921-22 was nly 17 per cent of the 1913 figures; in 1922-23 it was 37 per cent, in 1923- 4 it was 46 per cent, in 1924-25 it In June, this year, n the ten principal industries the working force for the coming year will be 20 per cent greater than this year.

Farmers find themselves unable to pay their debts and main- tain their equipment and give their families a decent living. Farmers are discontented, Secretary of Agriculture Jardine has released to the press, on two succes- sive days, two statements designed to cheer most of the farmers up. The first is an account of a moving picture called “Poor Mrs. Jones,” which he has prepared and sent out, to prove that the lot of the farmer's wife is not nearly so hard as that of her town sister. The second statement an- nounces that crop yields this year are poor. The inference he wishes to draw is that prices will be good. Al's Propaganda. Mrs. Jones, according to the story told in this Jardine-made reel, gets tired of merely managing her home, ‘keeping the farm accounts, tending the garden, caring for the chickens, ete., and says so. Her husband re- fuses to sell the farm until she shail have had a’ rest, visiting her married sister in the city. In the crowded fiat she learns that city folks don’t get fresh food, and the traffic jams, bargain counter rushes and the hazards to children are terrible. In one week she is cured of her discontent with the farm, real- izes that she is really “rich” Mrs. Jones, and goes home to live happily at the old line of work. Crops Are Poor. Yet the next statement begins with the grim warning: “Low yields per acre are to be expected this year for principal crops of the United States, the department of agriculture has an- nounced. The published figures show that a yield of all crops combined will be 4.5 per cent under last year’s crops and 6.4 per cent below the ten-year low its ten-year average by 9 per wont hay, 16.2 per cent; corn. 0.9 per cent; oats. 3.2 per cent; potatoes, 3.5 per cent; tobacco, 6.1 per cent; sugar beets, 9.3 per cent; barley, 1.75 per cent. Spring wheat will run slightly above its ten-year average. Taken as a whole, the chief Ameri- can crops, in spite of increased acre- age, will yield a total production of about 3 percent below last year, and lower than in any recent year except 1911 and 1921.
