worker eats regular hot meal at
noon and takes other meals in
communal restaurants. Wages have
been SO increased that the whole
family can usually eat this way
and the wife be freed from house
work, if she so desires. CHow many
American working class families
could make ends meet if they ate
all their meals at restaurants?)
And the food in these places is of
better quality and more clearly and
tastefully prepared than was ever
possible for them in capitalist days.
IT Is gigantic problem, however,
L to meet the ever-increaSing de-
mands for more and better food on
the part Of the industrial popula-
ton which has been increased by
millions upon millions under the
Five-Year Plan. No matter how
fast production is increased it al
ways seems to lag behind the de-
mand. In 1881 the marketable out
cent over the previous year, that Of
potatoes rs per cent, meat 61.3 per
cent, butter 97.8 per cent, and eggs
1873 per cent The output of the
food industry as a whole totalled
264 per cent more than in 1890.
And yet there are still shortages
of the very goods whose produc-
ton has been increased so greatly.
These shortages are partly due to
the inadequacy of the transport
alton system inherited from capt.
talism, to kulak sabotage and to
the present threats Of imperialist
attack on the Soviet Union. But
they are not due to any particular
extent to the export of foo6stuffS,
since foodstuff shipments abroad
are now less than half the pre- war
volume. Grain exported in 1880
and 1881, for instance amounted to
only about half the 1918 exports.
NO ONE HUNGRY AS IN U. S.
The Soviet workers know the
causes Of such shortages as occur.
They discuss them thoroughly in
their factory meetings and in their
papers. They join heartily in work
ing out plans to overcome them by
increasing production. And mean
while they see to it that all share
alike the available supplies as near
ly as possible. They find it diff
cult to understand American capt.
talist conditions, where millions of
workers go hungry while ware
houses are bursting with food and
the rich can guzzle up the best of
everything.

In this book we see the economic
triumphs of the Soviet workers in
the only light in which they can
be truly understood: that is, as the
material basis for profound his
torical changes in social relation

the living standards and cultural

that the land and all the means
of production belong to society as

IF you want to know how Soviet
workers are fed, the best place to
go is to a factory restaurant, to a
ktchen-factory" or to one of the
communal dining rooms connected
with workers apartment houses.
For most of the workers eat in such
socialized restaurants today. In
1881 some 100000 meals a day
were served in them to about half
the city population of the Soviet
Union. This year it is planned to
serve 100000 meals day.
Wen pick a "kitchen-factory" in
Moscow for this visit. 1t is typical
In organization and meals served
of most of the new workers eating
places which your correspondent
visited this summer in Leningrad,
Moscow and Kharkov.
FACTORIES
AND FACTORIES
Now that the working class is in
power, the word factory" is getting
to be almost as honorable as the
word worker" 1t is applied to
every kind Of institution. Moving
picture studios, for instance, are
called movie factories. And so a
plant which produces meals on a
large scale comes quite naturally to
be called "kitchen-factory.''
This particular kitchen-factory is
a big modern four or five stored
building on hill near the Elektro-
zavod Electric Factory. But it
does not serve the Elektrozavod
workers, who have restaurant and
kitchens Of their own. Its particu-
lar job is to serve nine other fac
tories in the neighborhood. OF 49,
900 meals prepared day, 5000 are
sent out to be served to the work
ers in these factories. The rest are
eaten in the dining rooms Of the
kitchen-factory by workers who are
close enough to drop in. There are
seven other district kitchen-fac-
tories like this one in Moscow. But
they all operate on a bigger scale
than 1t, serving around $4,000 meals
each a day..

to work for lower wages and thereby
keep the Negro and white workers
divided and making the common
struggle impossible against the COM

workers, the Ford Motor Comany.
FOR NEGRO UNITY
The Communist Party calls upon
the workers to unite Negro and white
into a common struggle against
the rotten conditions that both the
Negro and white workers face in
and around the Ford factory.
The Ford workers should vote
Communist because it means a
smashing blow against the Ford
system Of terror, oppression, irsulb

workers by Ford and his political
henchman in Dearborn, Detroit
and in all cities surrounding the
Ford plant.

Meals Planned by Dcians in Factories and Communal Dining Roo

all workers their share. This means
certain number of meatless days
a month, the place Of meat being
taken by fish, egg or vegetG1,e dish
es.
After the main dish there is cake
and tea, or a fruit pudding for
those who choose to top off the
meal this way.
AS to prices, the main dish today
n with trimmings and bread costs
only 40 kopeks go cents, as it is
not a meat dish. A helping of
meat and vegetables with bread at
other factory restaurants we visited
ran around 80 kopeks 40 cents.
A big soup, like the one described.
will usually cost 80 kopeks us
cents. Cake, particularly if iced,
may cost 30 or 40 kopeks, but a
fruit pudding desert is cheaper. At
factory lunch bars, where workers
take snacks between meals, a glass
of tea and big slice Of bread may
be had for five kopeks (2la cents.
The high prices which are often
reported by capitalist press cores
pondents are not those paid by the
workers at their factory and apart
ment restaurants and stores. They
are either luxury" prices at places
where workers eat only when they
want to blow themselves to a spe-
cial treat; or else they are the
prices of private spectators who
take advantage of certain short
ages to sell at outrageous rates the
same goods that workers can OBJ
tain quite reasonably at their own
stores and restaurants, if they are
willing to wait their turn and take
their share.
AS TO SHORTAGES
These shortages are much played
up by capitalist propagandists, but
they never point out that the main
reason for them in precisely the
rapidly rising living standards of
the Soviet masses.
In pre-revolutionary days the
average Russian workers diet con-
sisted only of black bread, dried
fish, cabbage and one or two other
vegetables. Meat and most of the
dairy foods were an almost I'M
known luxury. His meals were pre-
pared at home under the most pri-
nitive and unsanitary conditions,
and he carried a cold lunch to eat
on the Job, like most American
workers do today.
But nowadays the average Soviet

HOW FACTORY KITCHEN
OPERATES
Then we sit down in the arm
chairs of the workers rest room,
while the director explains the or
ganization of the kitchen-factory
and answers our questions. He is
former factory worker himself, and
he approaches every problem from
the angle of the comfort and con-
Venience Of the workers he serves.
One of the doors from the rest
room leads to the doctors office.
Here any worker may receive adj
vice and treatment free of charge.
If he has stomach trouble, the doc
tor will advise him in regard to
diet; and if what he needs cannot
be gotten in the general dining
rooms, he will be privileged to use
the special "diet room"
There are restaurants on each
floor Of the kitchen-factory, all laid
out on much the same plan and
serving the same meals.
MEALS PLANNED
BY DIETICIANS
The meals in the general restau-
rants are also carefully planned by
a staff Of dieticians. They test the
food for purity and try to arrange
the meals on scientific principle to
provide balanced and healthy
diet.
The meal today starts with the
inevitable Russian soup, served in
big soup plates which are filled
almost to the upper edge. A Rus
sian worker would feel himself
cheated if his plate were filled only
in the center. The soup contains
meat, cabbage, carrots and other
vegetables After eating up whole
plateful Of such soup in Soviet
workers restaurants, was usually
too full to have room for anything
else.

choice OF several dishes with po-

of these dishes look like meat cut

that they have only egg and vege-

partly by slaughter Of their stock
