sands. 1,250,000 in the parade!
"You can tell the world that the
workers are in control here! Don't
you ever think that any one is die
tating to them. Every man ano
woman we have spoken to seems to
be thoroughly conscious of what has
taken place in this country. They
are the dictators They demand
better life socially and economically.
Il got into a conversation with
mining Cnetal mining) engineer
from the Ural mountains He, too,
just overflowed with enthusiasm and
joy in his work for this great cause.
And he expressed great admiration
for the Russian people and their
ways of natural social contact No
one, he said, has ever done anything
in his presence which irritated him.
This engineer was an Australian. He
has been in America. 1t is his honest
opinion that the Russian people and
their leaders are thoroughly imbued
with the idea of making their lot
on this earth as pleasant as science
and human skill can make it.
There are delegations from France
Germany, Australia, Turkey, Sweden,
England, and several other countries,
All received a great welcome; but
they gave the Americans the great
est. American are almost worship
ped here. We went to a Workers
Club and when it became known we
were in the place they stopped their
show and gave us a cheer that
warmed the heart and in turn our
chairman of the delegation spoke
briefly after which we gave them a
cheer.
I'VE went to restaurant where
$4,000 meals are served daily. You
can't imagine what the place is like.
Everything is done SO Systematically
and the place is spotlessly clean. 1900
employees! We visited the sanitari-
um to which workers in the first
stage of disease come for treatment
every night after work. The doctors
give to them" the very best treat
ments the medical science has devel-
oped and that is available in Russia.
"a people with such a spirit will
make for themselves culture that
is bound to be the best that science
and human skill is capable of achiey-
ing. ....A .
This afternoon we went to elec-
trical factory that employs $1,000
workers. This" factory filled it's five
year allotment in two and a half
years. "''
"The first year the value of its.
products, that is in 1925, was 9,O00,-
900 rubles with $500 employees. In
1881 the value Of the output was
l40,000,000 rubles and the number of
the employees had increased to 23,-
600. You see here an increasing
number of employees equal to ten
times, the valueAof the output in
creased twenty times. Tell that to
the wise alecks when they quote the
confabricatiou of the capitalist press.
We went ALI through the factory. 1t
is some factoryl Everybody we met
seems to be full. of energy and good
will. They work seven hours per day.
Dangerous or arduous work is carried
on but six hours a day. 80 percent
of the employees are women with no
difference for~wages for equal work.
There is variation in the wages
paid, but this is approved by the
workers themselves.
when important inyEfions are
made the inventor is compensated
and if the compensation is a very
great one he can quit : the rest
of his life. Several ha.3 ; so quit,
but the majority will not take any
vast reward and continue at their
own desire to keep right ON with their
work.
1.-THE productivity OF this factory
is higher than in Germany! Wages
of electrical workers throughout the
country have increased about two
and q half times over their wage
under the Czarist regime!"
