Labor seeks aid in Democratic party labor seeks aid in democratic party
London reports that Russia's transport system is near nonfunctional with only six of every hundred engines operable in early 1920, many relying on wood fuel. Rail cars are scarce, wheels worn, and airbrakes limited. Rebuilding requires large trained staff and many drivers and mechanics killed or dispersed since the war. The piece notes Western Europe’s urgency for grain and the impracticality of quick Russian exports. It also covers British labor’s push to align with Democrats, condemning the Republican platform’s treatment of labor and endorsing AFL leaders’ call for union demands to be presented to the Democratic convention for action. The article discusses Ukraine, Poland, and Bolshevik conflicts complicating trade, with overall pessimism about an early revival of Russian exports.
