Persecution of the Gentry

"Słowo" prints the following correspondence from Riga:

It is reported from Moscow that at a meeting of agricultural workers a resolution was adopted under which no landowner has the right to lease a manor or smaller farmsteads (fialvarki) in the districts where he once held land. Former landowners will be deprived even of allotments if they cannot work them with their own hands and make use of hired labourers.
