For instance. the total value of arti-
Giles produced in the main branches Of
industry during October-Janualy,
1924.25 increased 90 per cent as com
pared with the same period in l923-2i,
and S5 per cent as compared with
lune-September 1924.
The gross output per head day in
the first quarter OF the business year
OF 1924.25 increased 80 per cent com.
pared with the first quarter OF the
business year Of 1924 land 81 per
cot as compared with the, fourth quar-.
ter of the same year, the maximum IN
crease in output being observed in the
metal. electro-technical, chemical and
food industries. The average real
wage also increased in the first quar-
tNc OF the business year 192i-l925 il
amounted to 7S.4 per cent of pre-war
.ates, having increased Sc per cent as
compared with the fourth quarter OF

metal industry. IL per cent in the tex

ly little reserved capital at their dis
posal that we cannot introduce the
necessary technical improvements
rapidly enuf.
Improve Working Methods.
Under such conditions increase of
wages cannot be thot Of unless there
is corresponding increase in the
productivity of labor. Therefore all
the efforts of our workers organized
in the trade unions and OF our econo'
mists were concentrated on this,
starting with the last quarter of 1924
The measures adopted to achieve
this aim consisted in the introduction
of unlimited piece rates together with
revision of possible output, and in
the adoption of a number of organiza-
tional measures aiming at the i'm.
provement of the methods of produc'
ton. In connection with the revision
Of the output figure the condition OF
the equipment of the enterprise and
all other conditions affecting produc
tivity of labor are taken into consid-
Grafton.
1t has been ascertained that when
the revision of the output standard is
accompanied by technical organiza'
tional measures for the improvement
of working methods, positive results
have been attained; both, productivity
of labor and wages have increased; a
more rational use is made OF the
working hours; there is less waste OF
time and less malingering.

N. Y. Greek Branch
Free Speech Fight
Gets Bigger Meetings
(By Worker correspondent.)

|. From Greek Branch, Dist. No. 2.
NEW YORK, July IA Our branch,
the Greek branch OF the uptown dis
trict, is holding successful meetings
at the corner of 39th and Sth avenue,
the Greek workers center.
Last night we were holding one of
our regular meetings peacefully, as
usuaD with very good Greek audi
ence, when a bull instigated by a
Greek bible society, surged into the
meeting and demanded that we stop.
We ignored him and continued our
meeting. He dragged our comrade,
Pappayianis, a garment worker, off
the platform. Comrade Serros, the
chairman, protested. He placed the
two comrades under arrest. Before
taking them to the police station, he
Kicked the platform down and to fur
Their show his heroism, he started
clubbing the platform. He did not
dare to club our comrades for the
look in the faces of our audience told
him what was good for him.
Hold Another Meeting.
A few minutes passed and the plat
form was up again, this time Com
rade Stanitsides speaking. He was
followed by Comrade ]. Jamos, who
spoke for half an hour to an audience
of over 300 Greeks. He told them
shat the Communists are not afraid
to fight the exploiters of this coun-
try and that like. our comrades all
over the world, they will keep up
the fight to a finish. He urged them
to join their unions, to study and
learn about Communism and to fight
the Greek and American bosses. The
audience cheered the speakers. To
show their sympathy with our ideals
they volunteered to act as witnesses
for our arrested comrades. Over six
ty of them gave their names and adj
dresses, among them being some
Greek women. This shows us that
the Greek worker is awakening and
we are determined to draw them to
the class struggle.
At the police station our comrades
we're charged with disorderly conduct.
They were sent down to the night
court where the Workers Party .coun-
ell asked for a postponement Of the
case until the next day. The COM
rades we're set free after we produc-

REICHERT Died
VICTIM OF FOES
OF The WORKERS
Was Jailed Because He
Led Clothing Strike

The death of Jacob Reichert ten
days after he was released from prison
by Governor Donahey of Ohio because
it was known he could not live thru
his fifteen years sentence, marks one
more of long series of such crimes
being committed yearly against work
ers active in the ranks Of the labor
movement. r'
( Reichert went into Columbus prison
three years after the beginning of
frame-up prosecution that grew out of
a strike of Amalgamated Clothing
Workers in Cincinnati in 1922.
Reichert was business agent Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union during the strike and it was
because of his jealous work that he
won for himself the persecution that
caused his death.
