Shaughnessy, was approved by a vote of the union membership Tass day night. The proposal of the Employing Plasterers’ Association, ’ which “is ing plasterers of Local § to go back to work at the old wages pending ar- bitration or fight a concerted effort of the bosses to break the strike and establish the open shop, will be voted on at once by the Local 5 membership. Prominent union plasterers say that it is hardly probable that the local will surrender to the ultimatum of the bosses. The union has the strike well in hand, with many of the contractors signed up at the $14 scale demanded and has no reason to take tall talk from the bosses, Worker Correspondence from the Soviet Union.

Open House for Russian Farmers M 'N America when a farmer comes to town he carefully buttons all the pockets on his vest; when he leaves he breathes a sigh of relief that the city slickers have left him his shoe- laces. In Russia a trip to town is an interesting event in a peasant’s life, long looked forward to and a pleasant memory long afterward. Here, in- stead of the town capitalist who seeks to squeeze the last drop from the debt- ridden rural worker, we have two mu- tually complementary arms of work- ing-class society, fraternizing on every opportunity and.glorying in each oth- ers’ achievements. The Peasant’s House is a product of the revolutiof: Nothing like it is to be found anywhere in the capital- ist world. It is-a well-kept hotel to which the pe: zt can come when in town, not only a place to sleep and eat, but also helpful, considerate, disinterested mation and advice on his person: id social affairs. If he has legal di ities, either in the provincial to back in his county town or vin ere are judicial ex- perts ready vise him free of charge.

Every night there are lectures and motions pictures in the big club room, holding perhaps:an audience of 800. The speakers come from the respect- ive commissariats, experts in their lines, all of them, or they may be peasant delegates to the All Russian Soviet and its organs who tell thei fellow-farmers of the things they have learned and experienced. Thus peas- ants who never before were five versts away from their home village now come into contact with their fellow- farmers from all over Russia, and with fellow-workers from all over the world. During the dayttime there are fre- quent excursions to factories, and to the factory workers’ clubs, kindergar- tens, and other social institutions.

It is estimated that 60 per cent of these organizations are in Cook county and 40 per cent downstate, Time limit on these taxes expired in 1919, but, due to whittling of the appropriations at that time for the office of the attorney general, funds have not been available until now for carrying out this work, Reincorporation or a court order set- ting aside the decree and the pay- ment of back taxes are the only two methods corporations can employ to permit operation after the work is completed, officials said, The American, Worker Correspond- ent Is out, Did you get your copy?

During the inside of a factory convinces them that eight hours a day is too much for any man to work in industry. And Russian factories are by no means the worst in the world, the tempo is far from that in an American pen. The peasants were intensely inter- ested in the visit of a group of Brit- ish and American comrades who hap- pened to be in Moscow and visit the Dom Krestianina in a body. They in- dulged in good-natured raillery with the Britishers, saying: “You, with all your fine coats and shoes, have not made a revolution yet, but we did it with rags wrapped around our feet.” One of them also intimated that there must be something wrong with anyone who would tolerate a king on the throne. But one and all were very much interested in the prospects of the coal miners’ strike—about which they were quite well informed. The clients of this house are of three general categories, first there are village delegates who have some sort of public business to attend to; second, officials of village soviets, co- operatives, etc., and, third, individual peasants on private business. The rates are not fixed according to these categories, however, but according to abiilty to pay—poor peasants, whether on public or private business, pay nothing either for lodging or meals, others may pay as high as 70 kopeks (35 cents) per night for lodging. The comrades in charge are always on the alert to guage the peasant senti- ment. Points raised in discussion are passed on the repective commissa- riats, and have frequently resulted in changes in legislation and decrees. These Peasant Houses have gone thru a development closely reflecting dustrial and agricultural policy. They were first established in 1918 in con- nection with the grain tax, the peas- ant coming in to town to settle his taxes put up at these houses, listened to the explanations of the necessity of the tax, was helped thru juridicial dif- ficulties, ete. The second period, dat- ing from the abolition of the tax, was intended as a cultural contact between city and country, to render effective real service to the peasant while he was in town. During the war with Po- land this development was tempo- rarily checked, but now it is again being extended rapidly until 340 such homes are found. scattered thruout the principal towns of the R. F. S. R. and the autonomous republics.
