$4,000 and in August $4,000.
Just think. The average percentage
of capacity production in 1881 was
still 38 and look what havoc the
magnates played with the lives of
the workers. There were unceasing
wage cuts, more than half are un-
employed with absolutely no means
of existence unless ore wants to call
so for instance the IL cent a day

by the governing bodies to the popu-
lation of the steel city of Niles, O.;
most of the others only partially
employed with earnings necessitat-
ing outside aid.
What then does a further new
'low" of over 100 per cent below that
of 1881 mean to the workers of these
industries?
More Layoffs Coming.
1t means that within very short
time more plants will be closed, more
men will be laid off, more thousands
will be put on a part time basis.
AND more wage cuts. 1t will mean
most precarious existence for those
few employed and stark starvation
for the unemployed. 1t will mean
misery for all-misery with no sub
stantial improvement in sight. The
bourgeoisie admit it. "Steel compa-
nies," writes one in the July issue
of the Iron Age, "are at loss in
trying to determine whe ma real turn
for the better will come"
Is there a way out of it? Yes.
How? BY an organized fight against
speed up and wage cuts against the
stagger plan and for unemployment
insurance to be paid by the bosses
and their government. How can that
be accomplished? BY persistent Or
ganization in the shops of all work.

On the other hand, the unemploy-

Part VIII
Yesterday we read of the differ
ence of the old and new technique
in the Red Podolsk plant. Old
machinery adding to the burden
of the workers has been replaced
by the latest machinery and to-
day Podolsk has only four equals
in the world. With this has come
an improvement in the working
conditions: wide, roOmy, aisIes, as
phalt floors, overhead skylights
through which the sunlight streams
in, etc.
Tcday's instalIment continues
with a description of the changes
in the factory since the capitalist
owner, Singer, has been d iven out.
Monstrous ventilators puff fresh
air through the rooms, sucking up
the old. Ever in the furnace and
casting departments, the fumes and
dirt have been reduced to a sur
prising minimum. Feodor tells us,
"Mr. Strouck, the American engi-
neer who supervised construction,
was a bit put out about the venti-
lation system. He said it was very
expensive, and no other foundry in
Europe or America had one like
this, why should we? But we told
him that the health of our workers
was as important to us as turning
out good machines"
Soon we're going to make it
pretty as forest here, with flow
ers and shrubs all about" Feodor
grins. Some foundrymen make
fun of the plan. What are we,
