Juggling OF inventories SO that labor
could be rrid from raw materials, and
then when wages could no longer be
paid from income the government made
lp the deficit with grants Of paper
money.
AS final step tho workmen de-
manded that as the ruling class they
be permitted to have all the products
Of the factory. While this might have
been possible in textile manufacturing
it was manifcstly impossible in hcnvicr
lines, such as steel mills locomotive
repair shops, etc. Eventually labor
flocked only to those factories in which
immediate levy could be made upon the
products. Tho exodus from the manu-
featuring lines which offered no such
opportunity practically brought an end
10 work in the railroad repair shops
and steel mills.
The trouble with all these govern
ment systems is that there was more
profit in the profession OF them than
there was in their practice. With the
, fall Of production came the rise Of the
speculator. More serious than spccula-
tion was the introduction Of graft.
Owners were encouraged to take over
a factory, not in order to produce
therein but by derstandings with the
state whereby side profits might be
made from "mistakes" in inventorying
of supplies from state to factory and
from factory outward
To-day honest labor for an honest
wage is tho rarest thing in Russia, for
the reason that it is impossible to
Judge what such an honest wage would
be- If it is too high it cannot be paid.
/ it is too low it is a starvation wage.
And so n cutthroat system has been IN
troduced. An employer gives what he
must and no more. 1t is not uncom-
mon for q laborer to have employment
under three or more employers at the
same time, carrying on the work at odd
hours, by absences and subterfuges.
The beginning of the end came with
a halt in the flow of rations. The
laborcr became disgruntled and dis
satisfied and began to soldier in his
work, With the recent withdrawal of
the ration the laborer is thrown upon
his own resources. Sabotage is now
the rule.

Peoples Property. AS soon as this
was done the workmen opened the

he wanted. Some took up to 500
pounds of clothes. Then the factory
committee was elected, consisting Of
