BY similar drastic methods the out
put of the Tula arms and ammunition
factory has actually been increased by
30 per cent lately. but as a rule the
apathetic and indolent Russian work
ers offer passive resistance which even
Bolshevik methods are powerless to
overcome.
The present organization of the
famous "workmen councils" suthces
to show that while Premier Lenine and
War Minister Trotsky rule in the name
of dictatorship of the working classes,
the Russian workers are in reality re-
potence. These councils, which play
such an important part in Bolshevik
propaganda, are today by no means any
longer representative of the workers.
Poor Workmen Are Duped
One third of their members are tech :
nical and commercial experts appointed
by the government, one third are direct
representatives of the government, that
is to say state officials, and only the
remaining third are delegates of the
workmen of the factory in question.
The workers are consequently an i'm
potent minority on the council.
Furthermore, the government has the
privilege of deputing special commits
saries whenever critical questions arise
who have the power to veto the deci
sions of the council. The technical and
commercial experts-who are, by the
way, generally of the bourgeois class

plenary sessions of the council.
There exists besides, in each factory
so called factory committee" com
posed exclusively of workmen, but its
powers are strictly advisory and limited
to the Improvement of food, housing ant
sanitary conditions, and being without
executive authority it can only humbly
submit suggestions to the superior
council.
