Leiser Kabakoff, a farmer in the Crimean collective enterprise, Voroshilov, has been expelled from the farm by unanimous decision of the collective because he agitated among the farmers not to work on the Sabbath, reports the Emess, Yiddish Communist daily, today.
Kabakoff told the farmers not to work on Saturday if they wanted God to prosper their harvest. The paper accuses him of being a hoarder and with spreading discontent with the purpose of sabotaging the work of the collective. This, as well as his Sabbath agitation, the Emess reports, is what influenced the collective to expel Kabakoff.
