Russian Prisoners Have Own Contests While Behind Bars “Socialistic Competition™ of Soviet Union Enters Places of Confinement. - CHICAD'S BILLS ARE PAID IN SCRP Tax Anticipation Warrants for Employes Willing to Accept Them. By the Assoclated Press. MOSCOW, February 7.—Prisons in Soviet Russia are trying to keep in step with all the latest campaigns and novel- ties which take place in the union. “Socialistic competition,” which has been raging throughout the country during the past few months, has pene- trated the thick stone walls and steel bars of Moscow's “places of confine- ment” to arouse the enthusiasm of hun- dreds of the inmates. Following the mode of the season, local prisons have recently proclaimed the beginning of a “socialistic contest” between themselves. The outstanding feature of this original contest is that inmates of one prison compete with those of other prisons in raising the productivity of their labor in prison workshops, in reducing the per cent of waste, in voluntarily fulfilling the law- ful_demands of the administration. in By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 7.—The city to- day began paying off some bills and some employes—in serip. Tax anticipation warrants, bearing the signatures of Mayor Thompson and Deputy Controller Victor Petterson, ‘were made available to policemen, fire- men and other employes who expressed a willingness to take their back pay in this manner. | There was no general issuances of the | warrants, however. Those who wanted to be paid with scrip were obliged to appear at the controller’s office and request them. The problem of cashing the warrants rested entirely with those who received them. In cases where employes found themseives financially able to retain the tax warrants, they possessed paper calling for 6 per cent interest. Although it was pay day for school teachers, they received no money. H. Wallace Caldwell, president of the school board, is in New York City seek- ing money to meet the school pay rolls. The total now due the teachers, who have not been paid since Christmas eve, exceeds $4,455,000. Opposition to Plan. Issuance of tax anticipation warrants in the manner begun today has been opposed by the Strawn citizens’ relief committee on the grounds that warrants distributed in small denominations Jobably would be sold by needy em- at a discount, thereby hurting s chances of selling large blocks | ants to the committee’s rescue | pool or to banks, | Several department stores have indi- cated they will accept the warrants at | face value. It also was believed that | many banks will do likewise as cour- tesies to veteran clients and that others | will arrange to make cash loans with the warrants as security. City Controller George K. Schmidt was to confer today with Herbert C. Heller, head of a New York investment house specializing in tax warrants. Heller was understood to have a plan | for disposal of warrants in large blocks, but it was not indicated what it was. Special Session Efforts. New efforts to have Gov. Emmerson call a special legislative session to afford relief to city and county were made vesterday in separate petitions by po- licemen's and firemen’s organizations | and by the Owners’ Real Estate Board. | The governor has previously declared | no special session will be called unless | a workable plan of relief is presented to him by a responsible group of citizens and officials. A detective squad was assigned today to the City Hall with orders to watch “commission shysters” who might try to purchase tax anticipation warrants from city employes at less than face value. Police heard that offers as low as 50 to 75 per cent of the scrip’s face value were contemplated. Arrests would be made on the technicality that the in- tended buyers were not licensed. ‘The first issue of tax warrants for the | year was accepted yesterday by a firm in payment for removal of ashes and rubbish. It was for $40,000. NEELY TO BE SPEAKER. of (: i 100% Pure Coffee Is PCI"CUID Addresses Aviation Section ‘Women’s City Club Today. Frederick R.
