The agreement contains ho pro- vision whatever for the reinstate- ment of active strikers, no guaran- tee f.r works delegations and no plans for the loss of two weeks wages to workers. There is nozning in the agreement to protect the in- terests of the workers. The Christian Democrat and the National Labor Party helped the So- ciahst Party to sabotage the strike. They managed, however, to skillfully withdraw, leaving the Socialist Party leaders to sign the new agreement. Work is being resumed very slow- ly in the Lodz factories.
