A Little Talk on Thrift
(By S. w. STRAUS.)

We, as Americans, often are crltl-
cised for our commercialism. Never
theless, it can not be denied that we
have developed a type of industrial
thrift that is making itself felt all
over the world. d.
American efficiency means simply
the elimination of the greatest pos
sible amount of waste. In brief, il
is thrift applied to business. And it
is to be said to our honor that many
other countries are taking note of our
methods and are beginning to follow
them.
When we note the great progress
being made on every hand, we gain an
appreciation of the value of American
efficiency. Better standards of living
for the masses of the people are con-
tinually being developed, education is
broadened, more amicable relations
between employer and employe are
fostered,. and higher ideals of citizen
ship are brought into existence. While
we are more extravagant and more
wasteful of our resources than others
we have no superiors in real business
efficiency.
An example of this is shown in the
building and construction industries
1t takes twice as long, and some
times more, to erect a building in
England as it does>here. The result
is that buildings over there, generally
speaking, cost as much as they dc
here although the craftsmen engaged
in construction work are only paid 6
third as much as they are here
Rents. Of course, must be in keeping
with building costs because the only
way building can be operated pro
fitably. for the owner is to secure al
adequate income. Thus, heavy burd
en- is placed upon working people
through lack of efficiency in the
building industry.
American business methods furnish
a splendid example of the value O
the thrift principle.

EGG LAYING STANDARD
AGAIN SURPASSED HERE

Poultry record farm flocks in Min
nesota, which report every month to
Cora Cooke, poultry specialist of the
agricultural extension service of the
university, surpassed by half point
the standard egg production per hen
for the month of April. The number
of flocks reporting was 81; total num-
Der of hens in these flocks, 14,436,
laying an aggregate of 26O,1O2 eggs,
or an average of Is eggs per hen COM
pared to the standard production of
IT'S eggs. The best performing flock
averaged 1926 eggs to the bird and
the lowest rs eggs per hen. Seven
of the ten highest flocks are in north
ern Minnesota.
"This is the time of year." says
Miss Cooke, when lice and mites ex-
act their toll in poultry yards. If
you want summer eggs, don't let these
pests have the benefit of all the feed
you are buying. Remember that So
dunn flouride is the best and cheapest
thing out for lice and that one good
spraying of the house with carbolin-
cum destroys the chances of the mites
for the remainder of the year. Don't
accept substitutes for these time-tried
remedies and methods.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-06-19

firmly led by the Communist Party,
held economic and political views
practically identical with those of the
leaders of the Party and the govern
ment. During the long and trying
period of the civil wars the unions
were practically mobilization centers,
and skilled union workers from the
metal, textile and other factories were
the shock troops that drove back the
White armies and the foreign inter
ventionists on every front In regions
where the counter-revolutionary forces
were successful for a time the unions
were wiped out and their leaders shot.
Whenever the Red troops won terri
tory the unions were restored and
workers organizations helped to re-
establish soviet control. The history
of the unions during this period is the
colorful and dramatic story of mill
tary campaigns in which the forces
of the workers were finally success
full over the forces of the capitalists,
the land owners and the foreign arm
les of intervention.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-06-19
Growth of Trade Unions in the Soviet Union

the unions was due in part, also, to
the attacks Of the employers and
their associations on the workers. The
latter became thoroughly disillusioned
concerning the government and were
further aroused by attacks or what
they conceived to be their rights and
gains under the revolution. The en-
ployers not only provoked strikes of
local unions which they then pro-
eceded to crush Individually, but also
used the lockout to combat the
workers. demands for an eight-hour
day, increased wages, workers con-
.rol, unemployment insurance and
similar legislation.
In the bitter struggles between
workers and employers which continue
ed during the summer and fall Of
l917 the unions of industrial work
crs supported Bolshevist policies and
were, in fact, the fighting force that
effected the overthrow of the coali-
lion government and the setting up
Of the Soviet government in the Oc-
tober revolution. Their strikes, their
agitation and their Red Guards were
the instruments through which the
revolution was carried out. 1t was
they who, under Bolshevist leadership,
took over state power for the work
ers and peasants. With the excep-
ton Of the printers, commercial and
bank employees, and the higher grades
Of railwaymen, practically all the
unions were on the October barricades.
In Petrograd, Moscow and the other
industrial cities union workers were
the ones who carried out the final
seizure Of power and the disarming
of the bourgeois classes and their
faltering coalition.
Immediately following the revolu-
