Reuter's Correspondent, telegraphing on Sunday, says: Mr M. Schwartz an American socialist, of San Francisco, who went to Moscow with his wife, a socialist worker, in June last, to attend the second congress of the Third International, has returned here.
They were both thrown into prison on August 6th, because they failed to express approval of the conditions in Russia. They were released on December 3rd, after Mrs Schwartz had gone on hunger-strike with the intimation that she preferred to have her death advertised to the working masses in America rather than suffer further hardships at the hands of the Bolshevists.
Mrs Schwartz died in Reval on December 20th, from privations in Bolshevist prisons, and her husband is returning to America to give an even worse account of the conditions in Russia than many Italian, British, and German delegates to the international Congress have described.
