CITY VULCANIZING STATION "VulcanIIZInIg of the Better Kind" At City Filling Station WILD SPECULATION IN RUSSIAN CAPITAL Speculation Is Raipant in the Capi tal of Soviet Russia. Many "Shoe. String Operators". Moscow, Sept. 20.-Speculat lio is rampant in the capital of soviet Rus sia. Wall strdet, Threadneedle street or any other financial district in the world has not half as many "shoe string operators" as this ancient city of the Czars. The curbe are crowded each day with promoters trying to or ganize coopwrative concerns from tea houses to automobile factories, and the talk of money inside and outside 'te government has a capitaistic ring seldom heard in Russia before the soviet government decided it was tin able to handle all business. Markets are overcrowded with deal ers. but bii(dings are standing idle because there is a lack of capital with v.hich to pay the annual rentals, which luist ie met in advance. Newspapers are filled x it h sugzestions for thel as ;istance of cooperative associallons, he P'rayda publishing an article urg ing that the state bank he allowed to mtakeba ll to enlcouirage trade and in uie try. Sugestionl was made that in ti'res.t from ten to twelve .'ker cent mtonliy colid he charged. L.icenses for S97 shops and 5.489 mairket-stalls or stre&t wagons have '. en issued in Moscow since the open ing of free trade. Market-stalls pay from 1,000,000 to 1,500.000 rubles annually, according to location: boothlacks pay 300,000 ruibles for their places of business, while sihops pay .00,000 to 1,500,000 accord ing to location, and tile proprietors, must also keep tile property in re ,:air and clean the courtyards and streets abutting their buildings.

Twentya si < J.-\Low faetories have been leased to private iidividuals out of 25 i which the government has of fored to concessionaries. These plants en ploy 1.700 men. Tile government has retained 315 factories employing 1.50,000 workers, but it has assumed responsibility for feeding only 70,000. The indttstries retained are chiefly chemical, textile, metal, tanning, elec trical and printing shops.
