According to the Biga ;orrespondcnt of "The Times," "Embezzlers should be shot,". said Tomsky,\ addressing the Trade Union Congress, from which Kroll was expelled. Tomsky painted a gloomy picture of the conditions in trade union circles, especially among the higher officials. Financial abuses were at present the greatest sore in the trade i union body. During six months they discovered embezzlements amounting to £50,000 of trade union moneys. Over thirty per cent, of the offenders were Communists, chiefly trade union presij dents, but illegal appropriations affected every union, factory committee, and the pension funds of clubs.
