OMSK, Siberia.—A Russian vol
unteer soldier who took part in
the battle of Pern gives the follow
ing narrative of what he saw ;n
the village of Kouvchine, not far
from Pern, where he was stat.ioned
j curing the fighting which resulted
I in the complete defeat of the Pol
sheviki:
He was ordered to clean out
three cesspools which were f’Ped
with the corpses of people who ap
parently belonged to the intellectual
i or cultivated class of the com
munity. Many of the bodies bore
wounds made with swords. He re
moved thirty corpses from the first
pit. the ages of the victims ranging
from 16 to 60 years. There were
several women among the victims.
All the bodies were naked. There
was reason to believe, in the sol
dier’s opinion, that many of the
people were thrown into the pits
j still alive and died by slow suffo
j cation and from the effects of their
wounds. '
The inhabitants of the village
were so terrified that they acted
like insane persons. When the S:
berians came as victors ar.d the
1 town bells rang out, the people
jumped for joy, clasping hands and
skipping around in circles,
j In the neighboring village of
Gornozavodsk. situated on a rail
road, the people were found to be
absolutely without nourishment,
. and the condition of the children
was pitiable to witness.

COLLIERIES OF
ENGLAND HAVE
SEE JEW PACE
LOXDOX—Testimony concerning
enormous profits made by various
British collieries was given at the
inquiry of the Coal Mines Com
mission by Albert Emil Davies, gen
eral manager of the Banking Cor
poration and a writer on finance
and economics. He stated that
£1,000 invested in 1903 in shares,
then quoted at par, of a certain
company would have earned divi
dends equal to about £3,800 and
would now be salable at £5.500.
In the case of another company
he said that "for the ten years
ended in 1918 the dividends panl
were equivalent to about 243 per
cent of the increased capital, or
over 300 per cent on the actual
capital."
The witness said that in most
cases the extent of profits in coa!
had been obscured by the capital
ization of reserves or other read
justments of capital.
“By these methods and by divi
dends." he testified, "the most suc
cessful companies are able to re
turn to their shareholders even
few years the whole of the share
capital originally subscribed by
them.”
Mr. Davis said that if the coal
resenes of the country were
pooled, the enormous profits made
and partially concealed by the
large companies would be available
.to meet, part, at least, of any ad
^ditonal working costs that might
;be necessary, and that the incentive
(to build up resen-es for subse
uent distribution, which obscures
the enormous profits actually be
ing made, would disappear.

ENGLISH FARM LABOR
DRAWING HIGHER PAY
LONDON.—The average wage of
the ordinary farm laborer in this
; country advanced during the war
from $3.50 a week to about $6.75
a week.
Evidence of the awakening of the
farm laborer to his own value and
his willingness to organize has been
' discovered by the board of agricul
ture, which has investigated the pay
lof the farm workers. Before the
war the men’s wages were too low
to enable them to pay union fees,
but since the war a rapid develop
ment in trade unionism has taken
place. The investigators found lit
tle evidence of unfriendly relations
between employers and agricultural
workers.
