Factory Control Tn Russia
 By REED
then later of all the Government
By JOHN REED

then later of all the Government factories, in April, 1917.
 The conditions in these Gov ernment munitions plants were extraordinary. In the first place, the new Provisional Governm ent had inherited all the vast con- fusion of the Pardon. It was hopelessly involved in political complications and in reorganiz- ing the army at the front. For several months there was no time to interfere in the operation of the intuition. plants, which were, moreover, delivering regularly their quota of war-materials.
 Unlike the private factories, which depended upon the regu- lar machinery of business, and where the owner was always on the job, the Government plants had certain fixed orders to fill, and the workers had opportunity to make experiments in industrial control without official interfer- ence. And so, when finally the Kerensky Government turned its attention to Sestroretzk, workers control was too firmly establish ed to be upset, no matter how hard the Government tried.
 What Had Been Done.
 When was in Sestroretzk, 1t was the model factory of the Pe- trograd District, and well illus trated the constructive and crea- tive powers of the Proletarian Dictatorship. Hours of work had Io raised 45 per cent; Production had been increased 20 per cent; the cost of operation had been about cut in half.
 The Factory Shop Committee was practically in complete con- trol. All the former administra- tors had run away, or been fired, except three technicians Kono- valov, the chief engineer, broth CT of the Minister of Commerce and Industry in the Kerensky Government, by the way-was told to leave on the day I went through the plant. He had at tempted to restore the old in sultlng discipline in the factory.
 Two great additional buildings had been begun by the Tzar's Government in 1914, and still loomed unfinished, a monument of graft and waste. The com mfttee discovered that dishonest contractors had put into 1t rotten concrete and flawed steel. The committee fired the contractors, mobilized the factory hands and completed the two buildings in three months at cost, using the best materials.
 Formerly there had been 8 tiny military hospital in the place, for soldiers only, with five beds and one. doctor The com nlittee built a new brick hospital open to all workers, with sev- enty-f1ve beds, three doctors, a nurse and dentist. Formerly the Government had allowed 5000 rubles a year for this work. Now 1t cost 5,G00 a month. The Ke- rensky Government squealed, but it had to pay. Formerly sick
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-18

discovered that any man in the factory owned more than 15 dessiatines of land, or received any other income, he was fired.
 The day I was in Sestroretzk a great factory meeting was held after working hours, which voted unanimously a resolution against Drunkenness - a weakness for which Sestroretzk had always been noted. In part, the resolu- tion said, we are not puritans, we do not wish to interfere with a mans personal liberty, but the Revolution demands clear brains and iron wills. which are ob- scured and weakened by liquor. Moreover, a drunken man is a disgrace to a free people. Com rades, if you must get drunk do so in the privacy of your own homes. If you meet drunken man in a public place, lead him home to his wife.
 Town Politics.
 Before the organization Of the District Soviet of Workers and Soldiers, the Factory Shop Com mittee had been the supreme rul- ing body, not only of the work CTS, but also of the town. This was perfectly natural since in winter the town lived by and for the factory. In those days even divorces were granted by the committee. Later, however, with the organization of the Sovfets in Petrograd, Sestroretzk, in com mon with all other places within a radius of 50 versts from Petro- grad, organized District Soviet, which had it's delegates in the Petrograd body.
 A Bo1shevig ecret branch had existed in the Arms Factory un- der the Tar. After the Revolu- tion the great mass of the work CTS were consistently and violent ly Bolshevik.
 When the District Soviet was organized, although the workers were in the vast majority, they did not at that time insist upon Proletarian Dictatorship. All par ties and classes were admitted to the town government.
 A central council of 50 was elected, and the council in turn elected an executive committee of three who mana ged the town or ganization. These three were paid a salary of 500 rubles a month. (In other townships it was 1O0- l 9.) The committee of three ap- pointed committees on Housing, Food, Finance, Land, Schools
 
 Taxes, Statistics and Highways.
 When I was in Sestroetzk the
 (Continued on Page Five.)
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-18

Sestroretzk lies about half an hour by train from Petrograd, on the Gulf of Finland. All the guide-books of before the war describe it as a fashionable sum- mer resort for the leisure class of the capital, the same sort of place as Long Branch is for the leisure class of New York. After describing this part of it, the guide-book may mention casual ly that there is also located the Sestroretzk Arms Factory, where guns were made for the armies of the Tar, and which was founded by Peter the Great in 1714
 After the Revolution, however, the ''summer-resort' receded into the background, and Sestroretzk became noted for the Arms Fac tory-that is to say, the workers in the Arms Factory.
 I visited Sestroretzk about the middle of October, 1917, while the Kerensky Government was still in power. Already, however, the revolutionary transformation
  This was true of all the govern ment factories-for Sestroretzk was government works The reason for this was very simple. The Government factories were administered by appointees of the Tzar's Court-usually incompe- tent old army officers with a pull, who, being without any personal responsibility and without any a stake in the business used it merely as a, sort of graft. More over, the Government factories were mil;tarized and the com manding officer had the power of life and death over the men, while he exercised with ruthless brutality. Workers who didn't submit were immediately drafted E into the army and sent to the 5 front. Men who went on strike E were court-martialled and some of them sent to Siberia Labor z organizations, of course, were strictly prohibited. Then came the Revolution of March, 1917. With the fall of the Tar, his d1- rect appointees in control of the government 1acIOr1oS also Tell. The worst tyrannical officials ran away. The long suffering workers arose and killed the most brutal, beat others and arrested the rest. The management of the Govern ment factories collapsed with the Government, and the workers, faced with the prospect of clos ing down the works, were forced to try and keep them going.
 Sestroretzk Leads.
 Sestroretzk, the largest and most important of the four Gov ernment factories, employing B. : 900 men, took the lead.
 A committee composed of delegates from each department of the works held a meeting. This was the beginning of the vast network of Factory Shop Committees which afterwards spread over all Russian industry This committee called a confer ence, first of the gun works, and
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-18

workman got half pay, now he received his full wages. One per cent of every workers wages went to support the hospital. Although Sestroretzk had existed for three centuries, there never had been a sewer system in the town. The cost of emptying cesspools of the factory and houses of the officials alone had cost 27,000 ruhles a year The committee had installed a permanent new system of sew age filtration at cost of 5000 rubles. whose operation cost about 2,000 a year.
 When the coal supply ran low, the Committee sent a dele- gate all the way to Don Basin to get some, which he did by ne- gotiation with coal-miners' and railroad mems unions.
 The committee then went into the business of supply the work CTS needs. This was necessary because of the complete break down of transportation and dis tribution facilities all over the country, which raised over the cities the continual threat of fa- mine. The committee bought an old mill, got some secondhand milling machinery in Petrograd, and began to make flour. Meat, cabbage and other necessities were bought by travelling dele gates and sent to Sestroretzk by carloads. 100000 rub1es was raised by the committee and sent to England to purchase clothes n and shoes for the workers.
 Discipline.
 The committee had absolute control over the hiring and firing of all workers. Through it the workers controlled also the elec- tion of all technicians and mem bers of the administration.
 Formerly many wealthy and noble young men had escaped military service by getting a fake "job" through influence" in the factory. These were immediately cleared out by the committee and then forced to go into the army. Moreover, the widespread unemployment forced the com mittee to take stringent measures so that nobody not absolutely de- pendent on his wages should take - the place of a worker. If it was
