the option to us, with the idea that the
owners of the News would be willing to
retain the real estate and reduce the

News declined to make an exception Of

went beyond consideration of the op-

1.-THE transfer of the Social Exchange
Service to the same building which
houses the Chest and the council is a
move toward efficiency" Elwood Street,
director of the Community Chest, said
yesterday. THE Chest does no chari-
table work. Its functions are merely to
raise and collect the money for the va
rious agencies to carry out their own
particular line of philanthropy. In
spite of this, we have repeated calls for
aid. We welcome these calls. because
we wish to keep in touch with affairs,
and by having the Social Service Ex-
change in the same building and under
the direction of the Council of Social
Agencies, we are able to direct such re-
quests to the proper agency"

This means increased speed in the

any application for aid.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-10-19
USSR Workers Given Largest
Part

The worker of the Soviet Union
receives more than twice as large
a percentage of what he produces
in the form of wages as American
workers. The worker of the Soviet
Union gets wages equal to more than
half of the value he produces, while
the American worker gets about one
fifth.
These figures are given, indirect
ly, in an article by Julius Klein in
the Oct. 10 issue of the Magazine of
Wall Street. Wishing to convey
these statistics to the capitalists
without making them ineligible for
workers, Klein gives average wages
per week and the amount produced
by workers per year in various coun-
tries. Also, he makes no mention of
the high cost of living which mater
tally reduces the relative wage of
American workers as compared to
those of other nations.
Advantages of Soviet Workers.
Another important factor is that
the workers of the Soviet Union not
only get more than half of the value
produced in the form of wages as
compared to one fifth in the United
States, but they actually get all of
it directly or indirectly. The part
not given in wages in the Soviet
Union is used in building new fac
tories in the interests of the work
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-10-19

ers, and thru the five year plan the
present wages and living standards
will be increased tremendously; also
social insurance such as unemploy-
ment funds, old age pension, pay
during illness and free medical at
tention, rest homes, free nurseries,
education, etc., which must be paid
by the workers in the United tSates
and other capitalist countries from
their wages.
Italians Most Exploited.
Italy was shown, in the figures
quated by Klein, to have the most
intense exploitation of labor found
anywhere in the world, though the
percentage received by Italian work.
ers is only slightly less than the
American workers get.
Because of speed-up, long working
hours, and the most efficient meth
DDS of machine production, the aver
age value of commodities produced
by the American worker is $5,192.
While Klein gives an average"
wage of $30.72 a week, this figure
is obtained by including the most
highly skilled technicians and fore
men.
Klein admits that the wages of
workers il many countries are being
reduced because of "the pressure of
tightening international competi-
ton"

production and the tempo of the
five year plan.
With the Inauguration Of the six
day week in industry, factories will
not stop work on any day, except
the chief Revolutionary anniver-
saries, but at all times approxim-
ately five sixths of the total number
employed in the factory will be at
work, one fifth of the workers re-
ceiving their day Of rest in turn.

DAY WEEK GIVES USSR WORKERS MORE REST AND
INCREASES PRODUCTION

The abolition of the 6 day week,
the religious holiday, Sunday, is but
little more than incidental in the
decision Of the Soviet government
to inaugurate a six day week, five
days for work and sixth for rest.
The new arrangement, which is to
be completed by Oct. 1, 1880, will
actually increase the number Of days
of rest for the workers and at the
same time it will increase industrial
