Liberals Tell the
Bosses How to Sweat :
the Working Class
CONTINUED from page u


"In order to secure the maximum of
effort all manufacturing concerns rely
to some degree upon the compulsion
which they are able to exercise thru
the power of discharge" Smith stated.
But in most large concerns the
watchers themselves are employees,
and it is usually found that the
watcher needs watching. In the large
concerns, therefore, more attention is
being paid to schemes which seek to
compel effort impersonally. Piece
work and accurate measurement Of
production bring in large returns
above the amount Of effort personal
supervision is able to secure. The in
PRODUCTION of piece work rates in one
form or other invariably has brought
about substantial increase in pro-
duction, often reaching as high as so
to 100 per cent"
Company Unions Defined.
Smith then spoke of the latest at
tempt of the employers to increase
production, which he termed "The
winning of voluntary effort from la
bor." Various methods have been
tried to bring this about" said the
tag manufacturer. Among them be-
ing profit sharing and employee rep
resentation."
The economists" gathered at the
convention Of the American Economic
Association, have thrown OF the
mask Of trying to aid the workers."
and have openly revealed that the
much advertised company unions, well
fare associations and profit sharing
plans are devised solely to increase
the profits Of the employers. The
American Economic Association is
bosses organization, which has its
roots in the colleges, and which helps
the employers in their problems of
keeping labor quiet and of securing an
adequate supply of cheap wage slaves.

dalous scenes have taken place in the
Hungarian parliament, resulting in
the election and arrest of social-dem-
ocrats.
Only One Hungarian Communist Paper
The vi Elore is the only revolution
airy paper that the workers Of Hun
gary have been able to read, for all
revolutionary papers in Hungary have
been suppressed by the bloody Horthy
regime. The American government,
working hand in hand with the vile
Horthy government, is now attempt
ing to cripple the VI Elore, by the ar
rest of its editor.
If the workers Of this country do
not protest against these plans of the
capitalists and the capitalist govern
ment, the general offensive of the
bosses against the workers will be
successful.
Lassen must be freed from the grip
of the capitalist law! Horthy and
Coolidge must not be allowed to claim
another victiml This means that
every militant class-conscious worker
must be modified to the defense Of
Comrade Lassen. This means that all
sympathizers must be brought together
to support the defense of Comrade
Lassen!
This battle must be first fought out
in the capitalist court. II will cost
a large sum of money-and only the
workers will furnish II.
Every RevoIutIonist Must Help.
II is your revolutionary duty to do
your utmost at this time. Show your
solidarity by contributing as only pro-
letarians will contribute, when a fel.
low worker is attacked. Get your
friends and sympathizers with the
proletarian movement to contribute.

ANISE TELLS HOW
RUSSIA SETTLES
LABOR DISPUTES
Capitalist Causes for
Strikes Are Absent
BY ANisE.
Federated Press Staff Corr

Federated Press STAR Corr
MOSCOW, Dec. 22-How are labor
disputes settled in Russia? The re-
cent report of the All-Russian Central
Council of Labor Unions gives inter
esting information on this point.
Strikes take place occasionally, tho
not nearly so often as in other coun
tries. They are usually settled in "a
vor Of the workers.
Disputes Come Before Committee.
When disputes arise they are first
considered by the committee on rates
and conflicts, with equal representa-
ton on both sides. When the dispute
cannot be settled the unions usually
demand arbitration before the courts
of the department Of labor.
Managers Removed.
The policy of the unions regarding
strikes in governmental establish
ments is based on the principle that
i in workers country strikes cannot
be considered normal method Of set
Ting disputes, and should be resorted
to only against beaureaucratic distor-
ton of government functions, in which
case the strike should end not only
with the settlement of the matter in
dispute, but with the removal Of the
managers responsible for the bad con.
ditions. Only in small number of
cases, IL strikes, involving small
establishments, were the unions
forced to use the strike. In the
other cases of dispute they called the
management before the arbitration
courts.
The usual causes Of strikes in CAPT
talist countries, number Of hours.
recognition of the union. working con-
Gitions, are absent in Russia, where
union recognition is a matter of
course and hours are fixed by law.
Delay in payment of wages has been
the chief cause Of strikes in govern
ment establishments.
| Strikes in private establishments
have had different character, occas-
ionally concerning questions Of work
ers' rights and working conditions
But private industrial establishments
are few in number and do not employ
many men.

ROME, Italy, Jan. g. Resentment
against Mussolini's policy of suppress

Hospitals Filled With Wounded.
Disorders continued in Florence.
The hospitals there are filled with
wounded following riots. The fascist
bands which congregated in Florence
from many surrounding towns burned
the railroad station, and destroyed
eight million dollars worth Of prop
erty. The masonic headquarters and
the offices and printing plant of the
newspaper Nuovo Giorgnale have also
been burned, as well as the home of
the lawyer Consoli. The fascist have
been unable to enter the prison and
liberate fascist prisoners convicted of
crimes. Many were killed in the fight
ing.
In the town of Prato, the fascist
succeeded in capturing the Jail and
liberating the fascist convicts. Deputy

control of the situation.
impossible to Get News.
Rumors were being circulated that
Rome is in state of seige, but the
suppression of the opposition papers
made it impossible to get authentic
news. Those opposed to the fascist
were boycotting the fascist newspa-

ed.
Police are continuing their seizure
of newspapers thruout the country.
Homes of well-known leaders of the
opposition are being searched. Sol
diers are being given a free hand.
Fearing that the borders Of the
country are now against him, Musso-
lini has ordered the removal of nine
teen projects stationed at points
along the border, and has substituted
followers with whom he is personally
acquainted.
An attempt will be made to form
a new government when parliament
meets tomorrow, with former premier

A meeting of 10000 Tuscan fascist

The effect OF improved prices for
farm produce is being felt in the
steady improvement noticeable In

period OF adversely, lasting some
three years, has made the farmer
cautious. and one cannot look for
any boom in buying. which Is per

The volume OF business In FIR Is
