every injustice, every problem of pov
erty and of affluence and of laborIs
being voted on In Russia today.
Meetings by the thousands are be
ing held. The Russian people are di
viding themselves along the lines of
professions and occupations anl in
their meetings the smallest problems
are brought up. In a meeting of wash
women in Petrograd the other day,
for instance, the women went so far
as to discuss their social standing.
"We want an eight hour day," de
clared one, washwoman, "We want to
have time every day to visit our
friends and enjoy life."
"No! No," declared the next speak
er. "What we want is more work. I
want to get all the work I can do and
work as long as I please. I have no
friends to visit."
"That woman is wrong," declared
a third, "If we haven't got any friends
to visit, it's because we've never had
time to make friends as other people
do. What we need is more friends and
more time to enjoy them."
Utter and absolute free speech
exists; only this could make possible
