Reply of the National Wool Market
ing Corporation to the ExpIana-
tion of the Ohio Wool Growers

ItepIy VI TIC NdtIOHdl NOOl Market
ing Corporation to the Explana-
ton of the Ohio Wool Growers
Association.
On May 2Sth the newspapers of
Morgan county published an unsign-
ed article under the title of "Ex-
planation from the Ohio Wool
Growers Association The author
of this article claims that state
ments have come from the repre-
sentatives of the National Wool
Marketing Corporation to the effect
that the Ohio Association and the
National organization are working
together this year.
Had such statement been one of
the many rumors which dealers
have been spreading around I would
not pay any attention to it. But
since it has been published obvious
ly for the purpose of having growers
believe that representatives of the
National organization were making
statements that were not true, I
cannot help but feel it my duty to
Charles S. Rowland and myself
(who are the only representatives Of
the National operating in Morgan
county, have not made any such
statement.
The author of this article is as
suming great deal if he thinks we
cannot get the wool growers of
Morgan county interested in con-
signing their wool to the National
organization without claiming affil-
iation with tho Ohio Association.
Our policy has been not to solicit
Members of the Ohio Association
and not to discuss the Ohio situation
unless the growers ask questions
for their own information. Now,
since the statement is used as a
means of publishing an explanation,
it might be we'll for me to reply to
the explanation itself.
In the first place the National
Wool Marketing Corporation is ad-
herring to a fixed policy of soliciting
wool cOnsignments purely upon the
merits of it's own proposition and
not upon the merits or dement's of
another organization And in the
second place it is not operating up
on any plan whereby one grower
will be compelled to pay the loss of
another grower.
Regarding our advances which
the author of this explanatory ar
ticle seems to think is an over-ad-
vance that will result in a loss while
wool is selling around the cost of
production and at lower price than
it has been for many years, shall
say, that our. present advances are
based upon 500 to $3.50 of the es-
timated Boston values. They are,
not only, in keeping with good busi-
ness, but, also in keeping with our
national policy of extending to pro-
ducers during these hard times all
the financial aid possible in order to
help them hold their wool for bet
ter prices.-Charles A. Stanton,
Field Representative Of the National
Wool Marketing Corporation.

New 5-Year Plan
The Workers and Peasants In
spection, known as the RKI. is
also used by the Communist party
to purge" itself of unworthy
MEMBERSHIP careeristS. the in
competents and the grafters. The
purging is known as "chistka. ."
This year, through the efforts OF
the RKI and the Gay-Pay-Oo,
over 100000 persons were expelled
from the party. The total mem
bership is now said to be about
two and a quarter millions.
Above the RKI is the Council
of Labor and Defense. Of which
Stain is a member. The council
Is also superior to the State Plan
ming Commission. which drew up
the present five-year plan and is
working on the next five-year
plan, scheduled to start in 1898.
In keeping with the Communist
policy Of self-criticiSm, the gov
ernment does not minimize the
difficulties it Is facing in indus
try. Chairman Andreyev of the
COmmissariat of Workers and
Peasants Inspection, reported in
July that "a serious lack in our
industry is our waste and un-
necessary expenditure both in
production and distribution"
Not Steadfast in Factories
Last month the Soviet press
carried news stories about the
largest electrical machine plant
in the world" to be erected in
the Urals. According to the
press, this plant is to have seven
times the total output of all the
electrical machine plants in the
Union last year.
The productive capacity of the
plant, the account said would be
three times that of General Elec-
trio in The United States and five
times that Of the A. E. G. COM
pany of Germany. 1t is expected
to employ 100000 workers. includ-
ing 12,500 engineers and tech
nicians. Preliminary work, the
account stated, would be started
this year.

RUSSIA ELEVATES LIVING
STANDARD Of WORKERS

In granting the engineers and
technical workers the same rights
to obtain additional housing
space as responsible workers, |"
the Communist party made a
great concession. Housing space
is at a dear premium in all the
Russian cities. BY enlarging the
group entitled to these privileges
the resolution in effect lesSened
the privileges of the Communists.
Rule is Flexible
Despite the propaganda that
the Communists oan receive only
$50 roubles a month regardless
of their real worth to the Govern
ment, the party members or ere
sponsible workers" have always
enjoyed many privileges denied
others in Russia. privileges which
constituted high real wages"
While the Communists salary
was kept low in comparison with
specialists. they had expense ac-
counts; they belonged to low
priced co-operativeS that were well
stocked; they were supplied with
transportation facilities and they
received prior treatment at all
Government institutions. This
does not mean that they did not
earn their higher real wages"
The Communists on q whole
are the hardest working people
in Russia. But the 45O.rOuble
maximum compensation prOpa-
gandA needs explanation. A Com
munist receiving 45O rOubles a
month could live better than a
nOnparty member receiving 1000
rOubleS a month.
The joint resolution virtually
abolished the second category of
workers. Many well-informed
foreigners in Russia forecast the
abolition of all categories if the
government continues it's trend to
the Right. Russians won't admit
this. They insist that what for
eigners call trends to the Right
are merely "zig-zags" and that
the Communist goal of equality
for all will eventually be attained.
Before Stain made his speech
and before the joint resolution
was issued to put part of his ideas
into effect the government relied
mainly on two agencies to see
that it's industrial plans were car
ried out. These agencies we're the
Commissariat of Workers and
Peasants Inspection and the
dread secret police, the Gay-Pay-
90. It was-and is-their job to
unearth graft, corruption and

in the United States and in Rus.
sia told the writer that the best
thing that could happen in Rus.
sia would be for the government
to finish the projects it has
started before taking on new
ones.
Chairman Andreyev compared
present production with 1918,
Russia's peak production year
under the monarchy with 1881
He said: I
"Oil output in 1913 was 90
million tons; in 1881 it will be
27.5 million tons. Coal output
has grown from 20 to So mil.
lion tons in the same period,
PigirOn from As to 8 million
tons. The output Of farm inn.
plementS has grown more than
ten fold, from 10 million rou.
bIes' worth in 1913 to SIS mil
lion roubles'' worth this year,
General machine building has
increased from 398 million rou-
bles' worth to 4,191 million rou.
bleS' worth.
"The U. S. S. r. has attained
this growth at a time when in
the largest countries, for in
stance in America, industrial
production has sunk from 30
to 40 per cent in the basic in
duStries during the past year.
There is no doubt that we shall
fulfill our five-year plan in
four years."
Sanitation Improved
Non-industrial figures also bear
out Andreyev's claims. For in
stance, st. Petersburg under the
Car had 673 kilometers of pipes
for water supply. Leningrad un
der the present government has
extended these pipes to $50 kilo
meters. The sewer system was
486 kilometers in 1918; in 1881
it was 885 kilometers. Street cal
trackage has been increased from
124 kilometers to 410 kilometers
and 1000 new cars have been
added. And at the end of the
year the municipality expects to
have 35 bath houses with SOC
baths each for its population OF
2,400,000!

When this law was changed in
1906 only the word absolute" was
omitted. 1t is not hard to see why
Soviet officials will require time
to educate the workers.
Stalin's July speech to the
Soviet industrial managers demon
strated that the party leaders are
taking a realistic view of the pres
ent situation. Stain emphasized
the lack of coordination, the re-
fusal of managers to accept re-
sponsibility and. the huge LABOR
turnover.
This speech made a direct ap-
peal to individual self-interest in
stead of simply to class conscious
ness. The Socialist slogan, HE
who does not work shall not eat. "
was changed by Stain to He who
works the most effectively shall
have the most to eat" In other
words, the worker will have some
thing to lose.
Rewards for Good Workers
The strategy obviously is to i'm
prove the living conditions Of the
upper bracket of skilled laborers,
the engineers and technical work
ers, in an effort to inspire the
young workers to seek promotion.
Thus last month the Central Ex-
ecutive Committee and the Coun-
Gil of Peoples Commissars, in a
joint resolution. granted the en-.
gineers and technicians all the
privileges hitherto enjoyed only
by industrial workers.

Inere is a definite reason for
the ingrained stubbornness of the
Russian worker. Under the old
regime the workers had nothing
to look forward to and they were
"agin" their government and the
managers,
