paid to them while engaged in this service.
In typical factory of more than 1000 work
ers there is a factory committee of three, one
member of which is usually called the presi-
dent, another the secretary and the third US
ualy the chairman Of the subcommittee on
the protection of labor.
The committees hold office for one year.
However, their work may be reviewed and a
new election held at the end of six months if
the workers demand it. And in most unions
the committee, or individual members of it,
may be recalled and new election held on re-
quest of one-third of the members
In every factory having factory commit
tee we found the following subcommittee at
work: protection of labor, culture, standard
ization-conflict, and production. A member
of the committee usually heads each sub-com-
mittee. The other members are either from
the committee or are appointed by it from the
ranks of the workers
The chief functions of the subcommittee
are the following: The protection of labor
committee carries on all the work connected
with the protection of the worker against i'll
health and industrial accidents. 1t sees to it,
for instance that laws relating to sanitation
and the guarding Of machines are carried out
to the letter. 1t directs the sending of work
ers to hospitals rest homes and sanitariums ;;
the erection and maintenance of communal
baths and laundries; supervises chiidrens in

At its general meetings of workers each
factory elects delegates to a, county confer
ence Of the union. This conference in turn
elects the county administration of the union
Above the county is the more important pro-
vlnclal administration, organized at annual
congresses Of delegates elected straight from
the general meetings of the workers in the
factories These provincial congresses also
elect delegates to the bi-annual congress Of
the national industrial union. The national
congress in its turn chooses a Central Commit
tee which is the supreme power in the union
between sessions of the congress- A full meet
ing Of the Central Committee elects a presid-
ium or group Of officers who direct the work
of the national union between sessions of the
Central Committee
The provincial department of the separate
union has very important functions. In addi-
ton to receiving the dues from the factory
committees it directs all the work Of the coun-
ty under it as well as the work of the factory
committees. 1t has the right to change or

Accused Disappear
In Trial Of German
Communist Leaders

BERLIN, Oct. II (By Mail) The
trial of the members of the Central
Executive Committee of the German
Communist Party, charged with
high treason and preparations for
an armed uprising" has been indefi-
nitely postponed, while a search for
the accused is being conducted.
The trial which was scheduled to
have taken place at Leipsic on Octo-
Der 4th, two days after the monarch
list celebration of Hindenburg's birth
day, was adjourned when none of the
accused appeared.
Accused Disappear.
Several thousand workers have al
ready been convicted on similar
charges; but the trial of the members
of the Central Executive Committee
has been postponed since 1928 be-
cause many of them were in the
Reichstag and had parliamentary i'm
munity while the others disappeared.
The Reichstag had granted the
Court, headed by the counter-revolu-
tionary Niedner, permission to try.

not taken away their right of par
liamentary immunity. The Commu-
mist members of the Reichstag We're
not therefore liable to arrest.
No Victims-No Hanging.
The Court is making every effort
to bring the members of the c. E. C.
to trial-but not even a German
Niednern Court can hang persons I'M
less they FIND them-and the trial of
the accused has been postponed.

culture purposes under the collective agree
ment
The standardization-conflict committee is
usually represented on the workers side by
two or three of the most intelligent men in
the factory. Upon it falls the heavy respon-
sibility of bargaining for wage rates and
settling disputes, either individual or collec-
tive.
Production committees are now at work in
practically every industrial and transporta-
ton unit They are usually composed of from
3 to Is members chosen by the factory COM
mittee They include active workers, repre-
sentatives of management and the technical
personnel. They carry out the production
work described hereafter.
The factory committee plays a very impor-
tant role in the workers lives 1t is subor-
dinate to the higher trade union organs, but
within its sphere it is the free and powerful
agent Of the workers, defending their rights
and representing their everyday interests
Because of the nature of the Soviet state and
the organization of economic life in Russia.
factory councils in no other country have as
much power or perform more vital services.
They have no diEect control or responsibility
IN management, but they operate in various
ways to check those tendencies toward bur
eaucracy, which are especially dangerous in
a socialist state.

Factory Delegates.

To keep the rank and file of the workers
better informed concerning the activities of
the factory committees and to bring forward
more effectively the desires and demands of
the workers, factories with more than 200
workers have factory delegates. These are
chosen every six months by the workers-one
delegate to about 10 workers The delegates
make formal written reports to the workers
whom they represent and Mold a general dele
gates meeting twice month. But the chief
service of the delegate is to speak for his
small group of workers and to make their in

it's activities. He also interprets the acts and

100000 of these delegates in the Z. S. S. R. !;
a year later there were over $1,000
"Actives."
TINE active workers, or the "actives" as
Il they are called are those union members
who hold some position of responsibility, no
matter how low in the trade union system
They are not the hired employees and elected
officials of the trade union, but only those
who are working in the plant Most of them
do full time work at their regular jobs and
give their spare hours to union activity.
The number of those "actives" varies from
union to union. Some unions claim as high as
13 per cent of members in the ranks Of the
factory committee members, subcommittee
members, dues collectors, delegates, club lead
ers, and others who make up the list Of the
"actiVes," The sugar workers union, for ex-
ample, claims $4,000 out of less than 100000
members There are nearly 100000 "ac-
tives" in the whole Z. S. S. R.
Separate Industrial Unions
= EFORE estimating the character of the
- work carried on by the inter-union organ
izations we may note the structure of the %
separate unions whose combined jurisdiction
covers all those who work for hire on Soviet
territory.
The factory committee as we. have noted
above, is the primary organ of the union. The
next highest organ varies in different unions.
In Central Russia where the gubernia (prov-
ince) is the larger geographical division, the
uyezd is the next highest organ above the fac
tory committee. The uyezd might be said to
correspond roughly to an American county,
while gubernia or province could be com
pared to state.) The order of Importance,
then, would be-factory committee, county
conference, provincial congress, and finally,
the national or federal congress of the indus
trial union.

Trade Union Structure

THERE are only twenty-three national
i trade unions in Soviet Russia All of these
are organized on industrial lines. There is no
such thing as a craft union, no carpenters
union, plasterers' union, pressmen's union or
weavers' union. There is a building workers
union, a metal workers union, textile work.
ers union, printers union, and so on. The
Russian workers told us that their unions
have p:ofited by observing the craft unions
in otner countries as well as in their own
where even after the revolution of 1917 a
wide variety of small craft unions had come
into existence. They modelled their unions on
industrial lines, apparently necessity where
workers control industry. However, in some
of the unions there are special craft or de-
partmental groups associated chiefly for
scientific purposes, such as the engineering
and technical sections of practically every ma
tiona union.

The Factory Committee.

THE foundation stone in the trade union
l. structural organization is the factory
committee. These committees consist usually
of three union members in factory having
from Is to 300 workers, five members for
those with 800 to 1,O00 seven members for
those from 1000 to 5000 and nine for al
those having more than 5000. The number
is much greater n some unions, the Central
Committee fixing the size. They are elected
usually at general meetings of the factory
workers where every worker, union or non
union, if he is eligible for the union, has the
right to cast vote. Voting is not by secret
ballot but by show Of hands. Only union
workers may be on the committee.
The factory committee has members chosen

Here's how Jack Dempsey and
Jack Sharkey will stand up when
they meet July 81 for the right to
battle Champion Gene Tunney for
his heavyweight crown.
There's little difference in the two
men except in one thing-that's age!
Dempsey is seven years older than
his youthful opponent, factor be-
lieved by experts to be the strongest
pointing to Sharkey victory.
Their weights differ only a few
pounds, their heights give Dempsey
slight edge, their reaches favor
Dempsey and by four inches, their
chest measurements favor Dempsey,
and the other measurements when
compared run pretty evenly.
Summed up, Dempsey and Shar-
key, in black and white figures, loom
evenly. But that age difference, and
the fact that Sharkey is now fighting
at his best form and Dempsey is
essaying a comeback role, makes one
give Sharkey best of comparative
figures before the fight But wise
Leo Flynn says Dempsey will beat
Sharkey and Sharkey says he will
humble the eX-champ's fiery am
bition-so do your own guessing!
