WAR ON EMBEZZLERS
RUSSIAN UNION OFFICIALS LARGE SUM INVOLVED Times Cable. Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Monday. The Riga correspondent of “The Times’* says M. Tomsky, a member of the council, addressed the Moscow Trades Union Congress. He said embezzlers ought to be shot. M. Tomsky painted a gloomy picture of the conditions in trades union circles, especially among the higher officials. Financial abuses were at present the greatest sore in the trades union body.

But the illegal appropriations affected every union and factory committee and the pension funds of clubs.
