The article discusses William Z. Foster commissioned by The Federated Press to describe Russian unions. It follows earlier pieces on origins and growth since the revolution and outlines the present form and functions of these unions.
William Z. Foster explains how Russian trade unions dominate wages, hours, and working conditions, participate in soviets, welfare, health, and industry management, and increasingly regulate production through the supreme economic council. They shift from militant combat to peaceful, technical administration, reducing strikes as a tool in rebuilding industry.
The article notes eight Americans in Moscow prisons or under confinement with some freed, including Emmet Kilpatrick of the American Red Cross who sent ration receipts and praise for American aid. It describes returning Russian-Americans forming co operative groups to aid Russia, bringing tools, machinery, and expertise for factories in Donbass and other regions, and envisions large scale cooperative development in Siberia with possible future joint ventures under Russian management.
A fragmentary satire recounts an Egyptian temple ritual where the sacred Apis bull’s tail is used to simulate divine voice. Priests manipulate the tail to command the crowd, praising Apis and asserting authority, amid later chaos as the tail breaks and restoration begins.
The piece describes Americans in Moscow aiding Quakers and relief workers, including drivers and translators, and notes the contrast with official media. It cites Litvinov on press influence versus government policy, and reports 3000 Moscow job seekers with two-thirds unskilled, reflecting unemployment pressures.
