London, June 4. Russian Bolshev

Leonid Krassin, Bolshevik representa

night. The retreat is not a-rout, he
said.
"Russia is not returning to capital

People ought to realize," Krassin
said, "that although we are retreating
in -adopting the new peasant policy, it
is rash to assume we are at the point
of surrender. It is a retreat but not
a rout".
Krassin pointed out that trade agree

sitated some compromise of communis

"But that does not mean that we- are
ceasing to be communists", he said "or
that Russia is going to turn capitalistic
Remember we have said from the be
ginning that, unless the Russian revolu

Krassin confirmed dispatches which
had filled Soviet circles here with joy,
namely that rain has been plenteous
in Russia and that they have practi
cally guaranteed one of the greatest
crops the country ever had. A bounti
ful harvest is the Soviet's greatest need,

UNEMPLOYMENT
IS DECREASING
More Than One Million Men
Have " Gone Back to
Work Since January.
By RALPH FORD COUCH,
'United Press Staff Correspondent.
Washington, June 4. Approximately
2,525,000 workers now are jobless, ac
cording to estimates made here today
based on reports to several branches
of the government, indicating . that un
employment, is decreasing.
,At least 3,5000,000 men' ana women
were . idle in January, a ' survey by
the United States Employment Service
showtd. . Now, however, no exact re
ports .are available for the entire "coun
try but data dealing with selected in
dustries collected by the Labor. De
partment, the Federal Reserve Board
and other agencies indicates that war
tinie wage scales are now generally de
flated. Deflation makes it., possible to
operate at full time factories which
formerly were closed or running only
two or three days a week. . t
Production- of bituminous coal is
shown to be greatly increased in re
ports to. the United States Geological
Survey, proving that thousands of
mines in the Central, Eastern and.
Middlewestern fields are returning to
work.

tional pool to equalize wages as appli
cable to the private ownership of
mines. They doubtless have become
convinced that the country is not dis
posed for an experiment in nationaliza
tion. ,
But this coal dispute has brought
other considerations into view. Surely
it, has brought us nearer to a recogni-1
tibn of the interest of the community
at" large in industrial disutes. Modern
organizations of capital and labor have
as yet been unaccompanied by a sense
of civic responsibility. They have only
widened the area and increased iso
and suffering through strikes and lockouts.
They have jeopardized the interest
of the community, a condition of things
which I, predicted might ensue when
I addressed the Civic Federation Con
ference in -New York nearly twenty
years ago. . It is a condition of things
which, if pontinued, must bring ruin
in its train. Industrial disputes must
somehow be settled by reason and the
examination of the facts. There must
be a progressive application of the prin
iple of arbitration.
industrial arbitrations of course are
anathema to the reactionaries of both
sidpg men who want to enjoy tne am
enities of civilized life without paying
for them. ' . , ' I
But enlightened arbitration win nave
rnm fnr nil that if we are to
escape anarchy. . .
