or technical emergency help. this
month celebrates the FIRST anniversary
OF its organization.
It was Die Technische Nothufs
which kept the waterworks and gas
works running during the kapD reVo-
luton. This organization numbers
about 100000 enlisted volunteers. who
from patriotic motives offer TO serve
as strike breakers in any emergency
10 maintain the functfoning Of some
plant necessary 10 the life OF the com
muuity. such as the gas. water or
electric light works
FoluDtcers Are Young.
The majority OF the volunteers are
young men many OF whom are stu
dents. They are frequently more will
ing than competent, as was demons
trated during the Kapp ,pulsch. when
the students burned out some Of the
boilers they were serving at the gas
works and famed the very machinery

the knowledge TO put them together
again.
Despite their frequent youth and
folly the Techuische Nothilfe IS all
that stands between The large city
and absolute chaos in times OF revolt
ton and general strike. The Tech
nische Nothilfe are the heroes Of the
hour when they. srraighten out the
mess resulting from the shutting of
OF water for several days with the
consequent stoppage OF sewerage
Called Many Times.
During the first year OF their or
Eanization the strike breakers were
called in SIS cases. which included
mines. mills, sugar factories, hospital
work and even grave digging They
were used in 50 electrical power
plants. a. gas works and 1s railroad
yards.
The middle classes over all OF Eu-
rope are awakening to the club in the
hands OF labor in the shape Of the
general strike, and steps are being
taken 20 insure that the Industries
absolutely necessary 10 maintain life,
such as the water and Eas works,

Of some labor group.
An organization similar 20 the
Technische NOthfIfs has been estab-
lished in Sweden LUnion civioue IN

Needless to say the Bolshevik and
