TWO OF THE OLD GUARD

Reaching the foundry we find
Feodor TrefanOv busy with MS
students. Here eighty young
workers are being trained as
skilled mOulders. Feodor moves
quickly from one to the other,
correcting. advising, his hands
and eyes as eager as the youth
questioning him. AS he catches
sight of US, he runs over, voice
booming above the din. Good!
I've been expecting you" Even
his gray hair bristles with en-
ergy. In five minutes it will be
lunch time and we can spend a
good hour together" Excusing
himself. he runs back to a lad
who wants him to examine some
finished work.
The bell sounds. Joking, pull
ing at their companions, the
youth start for the dining room.
While FeOdor is getting into his
topcoat, jerking on his cap, his
old friend. Andree BudnikOv,
comes from another department
to join us. Andree can reckon al
most as many years at the foun-
dry as FeodOr

$50 you want to hear what it
was like when your American cap
italist Singer, ran the works? And
how we workers took over the
plant? Between then and now,
much has happened. Well, it was
this way ....
This plant was built by Singer
we learn, in 1901. In its early
years it employed about 1000
workers, expanding by the time
of the world war to a force of
1900. FeOdor. already skilled
metal worker, came to the plant
foundry to work in 1906. He had
left Petersburg, after the defeat
of the 1905 revolution and settled
on the outskirts of the small
town, living with his wife and
seven children crowded together
in a small one-rOOm hut. Dixon
Singers manager, was importing
many peasants from the village
as source of cheap plant la,
Dor" Conditions were very hard
But we couldn't say a word,
Feodor explained, "All that Dix
on allowed was work, and more
work" Among the peasants
brought in was Andree, a season.

He was put to shoveling the sand
and cleaning up the foundry,

sum of one ruble and thirty ko.
pecks. The day shift was suppOs-
ed to work ten hours, but over
time, especially in the foundry
frequently stretched it to eleven
and twelve.
Dixon was a shrewd business
man, who served Singers inter-
ests quite well. Utilizing the lat
est methods for speeding up la.
Dor and increasing its output he
kept wages at minimum. Pro-
fits SCARED. While his spies were
active among the workers, seek
1 ing for "agitators' or even those
who dared utter the slightest
complaint, Dixon endeavOured to
establish himself in the eyes oil
the employees as a benefactOr.
He made such a display of small
favors, and gave premiums at
Christmas and Easter.
Deliberately he set about
building up small labor arts
tocracy from among the fore
men and skilled workers, making

a thousand or fifteen hundred
