months off with full pay for
child birth and nursery care
for pre-school children.
Prices are somewhat differ
ent now SO Bojic explained the
wage increases like this: Be
fore the war you couldn't buy
a kilo (2.2 pounds Of bread
with two hours work; now one
hours work gets you three
kilos of bread"
Now, too, every worker gets
at least two weeks vacation a
year with full pay-and more if
he's rated "udarnik" (shock
worker).
IN THE old days, when pri-
vate corporation owned this
plant, there were twice as many
foremen and plenty of COM
pany spies to point out left
wing union members. Now 100
per cent of the workers belong
to the union though there is
no closed shop that requires
union membership.
The workers have become
convinced that the union is a
good thing because it is the
union that watches over con-
ditions of work, runs classes
and sports, runs a store where
workers can buy goods at low
prices and figures out ways to
increase output and thereby
raise wages.

the plant we could see he was
lone of the boys"-a highly re-
spected one. Workers taking a
smoke outside-something they
were forbidden to do in the old
days-would ask him for a
light. Others would step up to
him informally to present the
latest production figures or dis
cuss problem.
Once-as we sat in the union
shop committees office-Bojic,
the union president and secre-
tary all forgot about the Ameri-
can visitors as they concen-
trated on convincing a young
worker to go to classes to learn
to read and write. Thirty-one
per cent of the workers learned
last year and only 4 per cent
remain illiterate now.
The Germans dropped 100
bombs on this factory but al
ready most of the departments
are in operation and damaged
machines put together again.
The day before our visit Bojic
and lila Hang, the union presi-
dent, had worked together II
hours to salvage a loom. Pro-
duction has already topped the
1889 level by 80 per cent.

THE WORKERS now have an
8-hour day as compared with

 FOR FOREIGN SHIPS

Prior to his departure yesterday for Seattle, Territorial Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers issued an explanation of his statement last week in which he urged modifica- ton of laws affecting Canadian vessels plying Alaskan waters.
 Rivers said that he had recom- mended temporary modification of the Coastwise Passenger Act Of 1886 which prohibits foreign vessels from transporting passengers be- tween American ports. He said that he was not referring to the Jones Act Merchant Marine Act of 1920 which applies to cargo.
