he achievements of the Russian

royementS in the living conditions
If the workers of the Soviet Union.
IN the eve of the Sixteenth Ami

oW us to describe to you our achieve
nents and the way our shipyard is
Tn:
Half our accomplished work, to be
more exact, 45 per cent, is new, while
% per cent consists of repair work.
We build ships up to 1900 tons, and
employ about $500 to 5000 workers.
The works is managed by an ad-
ninistration at whose head is a plain
ex-machiniSt. The chief engineer is
workers son, who completed and
graduated his study during the Revo-
ution.
Our factory Grades CounciD COM
nlittee, composed of selected workers
Of all trades, has the right and duty
to control and supervise all the &C
tons OF the administration, as well
as to execute all decisions taken by
the workers at the production meet
ings. The watchful eye of the factory
is the Party Committee, which looks
after the political progress, as we'll as
the achievements and developments
Of the factory. Administration, fac
tory and party committees form the
So-called Factory Triangle.
In our shipyard as well as in all
factories of the Soviet Union there
is dining hail which supplies daily
each worker with two hot meals. Our
food comes from collective farm,
consisting of about 500 acres, which
is controlled and planted by our own
workers. At the farm we have a
pigsty and we also raise rabbits by
sthe thousands. At harvest time
smany of cur workers join willingly
land enthusiastically the workers of
athe farm, to help the provision of
1.-THE food for our factory.
In every shop there is Red Cor
nccc-cultural spot of the shop. There,
after work the workers read, study, or
have pro <-tion meetings at which
oU' shortcomings and troubles are
discussed and eliminated.
The workers are divided in brig
2 1. Iho1e brlgadas that excel in
production are called Shock Brigades,
1sc-vc better living conditions.
80 apprentices and workers We
have special schools, where our Red
n 1cnys teech them how to inn
prove the technique of shipbuilding.
A,cey worker is interested and works
for the development and Improvement
OF our shipyard. Special children
homes are provided for those chill
dren whose mothers wish to work.
We are not wage workers as you
are in the capitalist countries, but
workers taking part in the admin
istration of the factory; workers being
responsible and deciding factors for
our welfare.
Every worker is entitled each year
to four weeks vacation,
A Classics Society
The First Fiive-Year Plan we fin
ished successfully in our shipyard, and
we expect and will finish the first
year of the Second Five-Year Plan
according to our own counterpart.
At the end of the Second Flve-Year
Plan we will have the classics So
ciety, which means elimination as a
class of those elements which are
remnants of the capitalist system.
We, the foreign and Russian work
ers of A. Marty, are highly interested
in the work and living conditions

tries and we wish and hope that you
inform us about your struggles. In
our next letter we will describe to

Of our shipyard. We send you our
proletarian greetings and assure you
of our solidarity.
