THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

The member of a union is the man
who pays only when he is forced to-
He usually comes to meetings only
when he has an axe to grind. He is
the man who will always say that
the union has never given him any
thing, as he would get good wages
even if there never was a union in
existence. And he cannot see what
the officers are doing with all the
money
The union man is a very different
person. He attends his meetings reg
ularly, takes part in the debate that

FOREIGN BANKERS HIT
AUSTRIAN IDLE DOLE

Vienna, Australia is charged in
Austrian labor circles that foreign
financiers insisted that Austrian un-
employment insurance benefits be de-
creased and wages of state employees
cut before they would consider MAX
ing a loan to the government.
The Arbeiter Zeitung, speaking for
Austrian labor, declares the wages
and jobless benefit cuts were not nee
essary, and points out that the saw
ings demanded could be made on the
army "on which $16,000,000 has been
squandered uselessly for police and
gendarmerie expenditures which, in
the last four years, have so unduly
increased"

Pullus also reported that Molo-

David Dubinsky, Of New York,
a former Russian revolutionary
and now general secretary-treas'
urer Of the International Ladies
Garment Workers, after an in.
veStigation of the garment fac.
tories in Moscow, Leningrad and
Kharkov, reported that the quail.
ity Of Russian products was ex'
tremely low. He said that the
"Bolshevichka" plant at Lenin'
grad, employing 1000 women,
turned out only 5000 coats daily,
or one and one-half per worker.
He said American workers on the
same machinery would have pro
duced nine coats per worker. He
blamed inefficient management.
Managers Are Shifted
A. Andreyev, chairman Of the
Peoples COmmissariat Of Workers
ans Peasant Inspection, a super.
VisOry branch Of the government,
reported on July that "vcry few
Soviet plants. mines, collective
farms or railway stations had the
same manager as long as year"
American engineers, without ex-
ception, had little good to say
about the "udarniki," the shock
brigades of young people who are
expected to set the pace for the
other workers.
The writer's guide, a Russian
newspaper man, expected tC write
a news article about the "udar.
niki" encountered on our trip.
With the exception of a group
Of young women at the Stalingrad
tractor plant, who were exceeding
their quota by per cent at die
making, we failed to find the
shock brigades living up to their
names.
Many of the engineers laughed
when asked about the so-called
pace makers.
Curious crest Days
Piece work was introduced
about year ago in an attempt to
speed up the workers. This did
not produce the expected results.
Workers rarely exceeded the
minimum requirements.
The explanation was that the
minimum gave the workers enough
money to buy the necessaries of
life on their food and supply cards,
and that it took too much excess
earning ,. buy other supplies in
the outside markets.
This past summer the news
papers printed the pictures of
workers who have made good rec.
ords, but the psychological incen.
tives have not worked for long.
Now the workers who exceed
their quotas are given longer
vacations, cigarette cases and

sian managers.
An instance was cited TO the
writer in which the American en-.
gineer found a whole unit of Ia
borers idle. When he demanded
where their foreman was, he was
tcld that the foreman was taking
his "rest day"
The American put the workers
back on the job, promising that
he would reprimand the foreman.
The next day he found the fore,
man idling around the plant.
Asked why he was not working,
he replied that his men were
taking their rest day.
Firing and Hiring
The Americans also say that
the inability Of the managers,
whether Americans or Russians.
to hire and fire is a serious de-
terrent to the speeding UP of pro
duction.

The Russians have always been
a nomadic people, and now that
they have no homes to call their
own, many think nothing OF
bundling up their few possessions
and moving 800 or 400 or even
1000 miles in search OF better
living conditions.
The lack Of coordination in
the planned economy can be
traced, in part. to the refusal OF
managers to take responsibility
and to the gigantic labor turn

barrels of cement daily receives

A Serious Problem
The labor turnover Is q serious

Lack of incentive
Under the former system Of
level wages" there was not much
direct incentive for q skilled
leborer to do his best or to stay
on the Job. The unskilled laborer
had no tangible inspiration to
seek promotion.
The result was, and still is, to
a large degree, that the workers
shifted about from locality to
locality and from industry to In
dustry seeking jobs in plants ia
vored with better food and better
housing.
The government boasts that
the union has no unemployment

ton with unemployment in capt.

Small Output Per Worker
Nicholas j. Pullus, an Ameri-
can engineer, employed to help
rationalize Russian factories, in
an interview published recently
in the Moscow News, declared
that 10 per cent Of the workers
at the Molotoff ship repair plant
were idle the days he visited the
plant.
He complained to the foreman
and pointed out that the work
erS could be used casting parts.
Waste Too High
The foreman replied that he
had no pig iron. When Pullus
said that he was prepared to
show the workers how they could
use scrap iron for the work, the
foreman replied that he would

two-edged sword.
Unless the proletarians have
something to lose they will not
stay on the job to consolidate the
victory Of the revolution.
Many American err neers in
Russia are predicting that the
leaders will be faced with a
tremendous reckoning within the
next two or three years if they 90
not strengthen the weak links in
the chain Of planned economy.
TIL engineers do not forecast a
smash-up. They know too well
that the Communist party will
not permit this to happen. They
do say that the party will have a

their glowing promises to the peo-
pie are not fulfilled.
Five Weak Chain Links
The five weak links in the
chain, according to the Americ- =
engineers, are: ID lack Of CO.

managers and workers to assume

turnover; 90 the leaders love Of

and 80 the backwardnesS of the

HIGHWAY OFFICIAL
AGAIN TO TESTIFY
Tennessee Legislative Com
mittee Plans Probe Program
for Next Week.
1y the Associated nr.ss.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, February al
Nashville drew a deep breath today
after the gasping testimony of the past
week before the legislative committee
investigating the loss of around $3,000,-
600 OF State funds in bank failures.
Conference after conference was held
between legislative leaders during the
day to map out the program for next
week. Tentatively they agreed to re-
call robert H. Baker, highway commits
stoner, to the stand Monday to continue
his story on how more than 100000
OF highway and bridge funds were
canght in the jam of broken banks,
only about half of which was expected
ever to be recovered.
Explanation Is Invited.
Since Baker and John F.. Nolan,
State treasurer, have told the commit
tee two entirely different stories, the
committee planned to invite the treas
urer to come back with any explanation
he cared to offer.
The divergent testimony between the
highway commissioner and the State
treasurer center around highway with
drawal checks for approximately S.
600 900, which the commissioner testi-
ned he sent to the treasurer last Oc-
tober after they had agreed at con-
ference at Col. Luke Lea's home to re-
A4cOl iOuOC bAiC luLlQS III Ddllhh W dNOiO
criticism by the Republican guberna-
eorial candidate.
The commissioner charged the treas
0rer refused to accept them or to have
them cashe@ and eight days later he
had them Cancelled. Soon after some of
the banks went out and carried with
them more than $4,000, 900 of the funds.
Charge Of Camouf1age.
But the treasurer claimed in previ-
Gus testimony that the commissioner
was only resorting to "camoufiage" and
did not intend for the checks to be
cashed, but simply wanted him to
hold them until after the election, SO
that the records would not be open to
political attacks.
With this check controversy standing
well to the fore of the investigation,
spokesman for the committee indicated
they would hold In the background for
q time the mysterious witness who said
he was ready to come forward under
grant of immunity and spread all the
facts in his possession before the in
vestigators. This witness was described
as a man who formerly occupied re-
sponsible position in one of the large
banking institutions that closed. and
was in possession of important informa-
ton.
Walter Faulkner, committee chair
man, scoffed at the idea of the COM
nittee pulling down its sails and tack
ing for calm waters.
I'VE are going to pillow right into
