since 1917.
Nothing happened until three
days later. At 6 am. August !.
some one shook me In the bunk.
The men Of Mine No. 2 were
being removed from the camp
In small groups. Under heavy
guard they were being taken
into. the tundra. We watched
carefully from our camp. When
80 groups were assembled in the
tundra, the slaves started re-
turning one at a time into the
camp.
Soon after we found out what
happened. The troops had let
the first group 60 back without
word. Then they told the
second group that the first had
agreed to return to work. Twill
you agree to 60 back to camp
and return to work too, or do
we have to shoot you all right
here and now?" one Of the MVD
guards in charge asked each
group by pre-arranged order.
That broke the strike in Camp
No. Z.
500 Troops Appear
Then at 9 am. some 800
heavily armed MVD and Red
Army troops especially brought
in from Moscow came to the
gate of our camp, with Gen.
Masslinenkov at their head. The
strike committee went out and
spoke with the general. Mass

A fire hose was brought up and
pushed through both fences sur
rounding the camp. But the
strikers twisted the nozzle and
made it useless.
Again the general ordered
them to 60 back to the barracks
and again they refused. IAN
those who want to 60 to work,
come outside the gate" he or
dered. The crowd glared as so
men Of the $500 walked out.
Seeing the small group. Mass
linenkov waved them back inside
disgustedly.
Then he called out on the
loudspeaker the third time. Go
back to your barracks. Organize
yourself to work. This is the
last warning ] am giving YOU"
The strikers answered defiantly:
IF you won't give us our free
dom. we'll take 1T"
Then the guards opened fire.

troll. The MVD officers had
been kicked out, the gates after
killing two Of our men and
wounding Is. Gureyvich, a
former Russian diplomat, now
headed our Strike Committee
and was in charge Of the camp,
Not a pound of coal was being
mined.
Moscow was meanwhile para
lyzed by its own internal strug-
gle. Normally such q strike
would have been broken with
blood the first hour, but the
Vorkuta officials were plainly
cowed. From what we heard.
similar strikes-probably en-
couraged by loyal followers of
Beria-were taking place all
over the Soviet Union at the
same time. The MVD mems
ultimate aim was to overthrow
Premier Georgi Malenkov and
save themselves from the fate
of their arrested leader. In our
camp we had personal evidence
that at least some MVD mem
bers had co-operated in starting
the strike.
We waited to see what the new
dictator, Malenkov, would do.
We guessed that while his own
position was still precarious he
couldn't take too firm action.
Russia wasn't in the mood for
another Stain. Besides, dead
slave laborers can't mine coal.
Later the. first day about 800
soldiers were deployed around
our camp gates in newly dug
trenches. We could see the
machine guns and mortars being
put In place.
Triple Pay offered
At 6 pm. Capt. Buikofi, the
MVD political ofi1cer, asked per-
mission to enter the camp and
speak with us. He came in
unescorted and unarmed and
read an order from Gen. Dere-
vyenko, the MVD chief of Vor-
kuta. From this day on our pay
was to be tripled, to 800 rubles
a month; the bars were to be
taken of the windows; it was
no longer required to wear slave
numbers sewn on our clothes;
the barracks would not be locked
after evening roll call; Russian
citizens could write home once
q month instead Of twice a year.
eve foreigners could not write
at all-not even a Red Cross
postcard.)
He didn't mention q word
about returning to work. He
just asked us to be peaceful and
obey camp rules.
We cheered like boys at a
high school game. The strike
was only a few hours old and
the nervous administration had
already granted important de-
mands.
More and Better Food
The next two days were bliss.

highest 1t ever got in the sum-
mer. We sat in the sun and dis
cussed the amazing chain Of
events. Meanwhile. the camp
officials were sending in food,
more and better than ever be-
fore.
On July ~, Gen. Derevyenko
himself, accompanied by Joch-
tin, the minister of internal af-
fairs for the Komi Republic,
came to speak with us. They too
were unarmed and unescorted--
although. of course. there we're
800 guards directly outside the
fence. They walked from one
group Of us to another, talking
In a solicitous, fatherly manner.
Don't you think it would be

Gen. Derevyenko asked us. Be-
fore leaving he announced that
Gen. Masslinenkov. deputy min
lister of internal affairs for the
whole Soviet Union, was being
sent up from Moscow to speak
to us.

On the 28th We buried our two
dead. Fifty free women from the
settlement q half mile away were
waiting at the gate. They threw
flowers on the burial truck
carrying the collins. The burial
was on the football field. All
$500 Of us walked by wearing
black mourning ribbons cut from
the slave numbers we had torn
off our clothes.
On July 90, at noon, some
one ran into my barracks and
announced that Moscow's rep
resentative was coming up the
road.
One hunred heavily armed
guards formed two lines directly
inside the gate. Between them
a long black car drove through.
The general got out, and the
car made a U-turn and re-
manned parked between the
soldiers-pointing toward the
the open gate. Outside there
were at least 500 more soldiers,
their guns ready.
Following Gen. Masslinenkov
on foot were some 80 officers,
mostly colonies. They all walked
to the football field, where we
had set up chairs and a long
table for them. Ostensibly they
had come to hear our demands.
We were prepared for them.
Four days before, Gureyvich
and the strike committee had
prepared a list of 20 speakers.
Slaves Pour Out Hearts
The scene was the most stir
ring I've ever witnessed in my
life. On the football field in
front Of the assembled Kremlin
officers, we stood $500 strong.
Then. from.the ranks. one man
at a time would step out to
speak-lowly slave laborers
given a chance to pour out their
hearts about Red indecency to
the Communist mightiest. And
they had to listen.
The speeches were beautiful
intelligent and biting. A former
professor Of history from the
University of Leningrad said be-
fore he started that he knew this
would mean an extra 10 years in
jail. but it couldn't be helped.
Gen. Masslinenkov protested
''Nyet. nyet." We could all speak
freely.
The professor did. He traced
the history Of slavery, then COM
pared our lot to that of other
slaves. Never in the history of
the world have working slaves

Baby sitting is a mighty lucra-

Work is easy to come by, provides
good pay and gives nice change
Of indoor scenery.
1t is not always a peachie as
signment for sitter, however. And
nom finds fault, too. Sometimes
the complaints are legitimate. Here
are some that both sides might
consider. Says one sitter:
''I've been sitting at Mrs. Jones'
house for 5 years. She gives me in
structiOns when she leaves and the
I telephone number where she can
be reached. / have emergency NUM-
bers for doctors, firemen, police

me about every ten minutes, usual

On the other hand a mother
offers this

say something like your sister Is

tell me they will be home at nine
o'clock and show up at twelve.
This is unfair, especially when
have to 80 to school the next day,
They don't even bother to call me
saying they will be late"
