started, For a little period Of time
they were able to get the workers to
return to the factories, but the prom
ised negotiations did not take place;
the administration instead put up
counter-demands on lengthening the
working day to ten hours. This re-
suited in new strike. According to
reliable figures, almost 1900 metal
workers participated in the strike.
Arrest Workers.
The trade union bureaucracy in
stead of reinforcing the strikers, are
speaking about public opinion, and
sending representative to Voss, the
assistant chairman of the Council of
Ministers, with instructions" to in
form him of the poverty stricken po-
sition of the workers.
The police, of course, were not SEN
timental about the matter and on the
next day they surrounded the metal
workers union premises and arrested
all the workers and employees who
were there at the time. The police
made it plain that they were not jok-
ing. However, "Nepszava" informed
its readers on August 10, that the
arrests were made apparently because
of the youthfulness, inexperience and
haste of the police officer who led
the squadron.
Aid Govt Spy.
When the government had conceded
to the demands of the trade union
traitors and appointed Andreiko, chief
of the secret service to act as medi-
ator, "Nejszava" endeavored to popu-
larize this gendarme in front of the
workers by proclaiming that he was
friend of the working class, and
that he would be able to force the
employers to consider the demands of
the workers,
The tactics of the trade union
bureaucrats during the strike, lumin-
ously demonstrated the existence of

Plan to Simplify
Russian Grammar

Moscow, Dec. PA plan for the
further simplification of the Russian
language is being considered by the
Scientific Department of the Com
missariat of Education which is in
session here.
Reforms in the language were made
soon after the November revolution

reduced from thirty-six to thirty one
letters and the grammar considerably
simplified.
Further simplification is being con-
templated. The plan before the
Scientific Department propose S
changes along the line of English

Wy DpSSldi
In the spring of this year a spon-
taneous movement broke out among
Hungarian workers to get wages in
creased. However, it did not bring
about desired results Since July last
wave of strikes, far stronger than
previous strikes, has swept through
Hungary.
The miners in the Pech- Funfkirchen
District put up demands for more
pay. Feeling among the workers
were running high and it cost the
trade union bureaucrats no little eff
fort to prevent the men from declar-
ing strike. The employers, however,
did not even answer the memoran-
dunn that had been presented by the
trade union bureaucrats. This proved
to be the last straw; few thousand
miners came out on strike.
Bar Meetings.
The authorities prohibited the strik-
ers from holding their general meet
ing. Instead Of urging the men to
continue the struggle the trade union
bureaucracy on August 8 renewed
their negotiations with the authorities
and persuaded the workers to go back
to work.
Strike Wave.
The insolent conduct of the trade
union bureaucrats in regard to the
workers in the largest Budapest en-
terpriscs, is indeed very character
istic. Widespread dissatisfaction with
regard to wages was observed among
the workers early in the spring. The
workers were literally starving and
were unable to keep themselves or
their families in food.
The workers at the Hans-Dunubius
enterprises were the first to come out
on strike, and later they were fol-
lowed by the workers in other enter
prises. When the workers turned their
written collective statement over to
the administration, they organized a
fifteen-minute strike. "Nepszava,"
however. was stubbornly silent on this
point. The administration immediate
ly replied by locking out the $500
workers employed.
Treachery of Bureaucrats.
At the same time, however, work
ers in the "Weis- Manfred" Arms fac
tory demanded 20 per cent wage
increase. This was bluntly rejected
and 1000 workers were thrown on
the streets. Several small strikes fol-
lowed on the wharves and in the
wagon building shops.
The trade union bureaucracy was
however unable to persuade these
workers to return to the plants. As
always, the administration demanded
that only when the workers had re-
turned to work could negotiations be
