of prices this has resulted In many
sacrifices ana sometimes in aciuai
want on the part of those whose re
sponsibility la greatest in the soviet
state.
Many communists have found it
necessary to Increase their regular
earnings by writing ana lecturing,
practice which the party permits
provided the recipient donates to
the party half of the money be gets
on the side. But of course these
men were unable to give their undi
vided energy to their regular Jobs.
A more serious consideration is
that many well equipped party mem
bers have refused to accept impor
tant posts because as assistants
thev commanded lust as much pay
as their chiefs without having to
shoulder the responsibility, much
feared here, which goes with every
high position.
I Stalin lkM Cue
Above all these reasons, however,
and giving the political bureau the
highest sanction to consider the
matter was the edict of Stalin, last
June, that the system of equal pay
for all should be abolished In the
soviet state. That rapidly Is being
accomplished in all forms of Indus
try and agriculture.
This compromise of communistic
principle with capitalistic practice
also was dictated by economic ex
pediency for Stalin realized that
maximum production could not be
had In the present state of develop

tween the ability of skilled and non
skilled workers by monetary stand

BOSTON. Apr. 29 v The Com
mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
Another dull week has passed In
the wool trade. Prices are in favor of
the buyer but it is difficult to say
what are fair quotations for any de
scription of wool. Very little is re
ported from the west, except some
consignments of. fine and fine me
dium woois from the far west at ad
vances at 7 to 9 cents, mostly, and
some itmiii purchases of medium wool
in the brieht wool states about 8-9
cents to the grower for good to choice
loia.
"The manufacturing position has
changed little if any. The mills are
doing some sampling business but it
is not bringing business to any ap
preciable extent and some mills have
stopped more of their machinery.
The foreign markets are raxner
slow, although generally steady.
"Mohair continues slow, with little
or nothing reported from the country
points this week,"
