Its direc- {tion was shared between the -Russia [council of trade unions and a state de- {partment, the supreme council of ma- tional economy This 8. C. N. E. was |the very apotheosts of bureaucracy. Tt | mapped out the land in sixty-eight divi- !l‘lrm,‘, cach with subcouncil ; 1t divided | industries into groups, each with its de- partments nd subdepartments and |sections of subdepartments; it had {checks and counterch: officials innumerable, red tape galore omists of the most select schecol, who had n r done a work in a factory and could not direct a foreman's gang, drew up systems for all industry. Each factory was to draw its raw | material from on artment of state and baud over its finished products to another. Its workers were rationed and |glven a small wage. a manager was placed over them by a kind of mutual reement between S. . N. E, the A. R. {C. T 0. and the workers thems: . but |his power was limited. Workers' soviets | were responsible for the discipline and { workshop management. Expert mana- |gers were brought back and paid spe- {cial salarfes, but they were advieers and {instructors, not controlling directors By « an ex- Production Declines. On paper the system was wonderful. { There was to be no waste, no overpros duction, no rush times and no slumps. 1 The national needs were to be exactly estimated by spectacled experts: produc- tion was to be so graded as to meet the demand. All the efliciency and none of | the private profits of Standard Oil or United States Steel Unfortunately the system overcome certain difficulties. It could not procure raw supplies. Beautiful paper plans did not give adequate food for the workers. The workers had at- tained their ambition, but they were so badly off for food, clothing and housing that many of them fled to the country. Men had no incentive to work hard, be- cause they received the same rations whether they worked much or little. And the soviets at the head of the fac- tories soon found that the easiest thing for the factory was to send in as low estimates of capacity as it could and produce ns little as possible. Defenders of the communal manage- ment_blame ‘all on the shortage of raw material; yet, when the system came to an end there were vast sup- plies of raw material untouched. Factory production fell incredibly. A famous communist economist, Larin, published elaborate statistics co paring production in 1913-14 with that in 1920. The average decline in production was four-fifths; in_ other Words. only one-fifth as much was turned out In 1920,as six vears be- fore. - In the iron afd steel industries there had been a decline of 97_per RESORTS NA VISTA, PA.

But vou cannot bring factory efficiency with the threat of imprisonment. Plans were devised }for training voung workers, for most |of th skilled workmen had fled for ha disabled in the revolu- { tionary fighting. The young men have made little progress The system of payment by results, or premium production, was intro duced. contrary as it was to all com- Imunist doetrine. A certain “norm™ of production was allotted to the worker; if he exceeded it he was re- warded' according to his output, usually by part of the excess product ! Thus the workman in a shos factory {would receive as premium a pair of shoes, which he would sell as best he could | Still thers was no real improve- ment. Then the state resolved on a ’}\'l greater change. It would divest itself of the direction of industry and would hand the great trades ever to trusts, public benefit bodles, which should eontrol production in co- operation with the trade union Old factory proprie s were called into the direction of the trusts. Business methods were to be Introduced and maintained. The communists showed a lack of their al insight in imagining that old factory owners. forcibly expelled — would cordially help thbe men who despoiled them to make factories & success Many of the trusts, notably the tex- tile trust, quickly increased output. But they soon found themselves faced by an unexpected difficulty. Despite the wastage and need of supplies caused by the revolution and civil war, people had no money to buy new goods. Other trusts, notably those producing coal and heavy metals, found the cost of production so heavy as to be almost impossible. Their machinery was worn out, and they had no money or credit to obtain new. I have been told that it 1s cheaper to import coal from England to Petro- grad than to mine it in the rich Don basin. This statement is borne out by the fact that last summer the gov- ernment did import large quantities into Petrograd. Yet the Don basin is one of the richest coal flelds in the world ion had declined 7 in- Workers Not Better Off. One hears sometlmes as a great Jevent of the production of a Russian automobile or the launching of a Russian ship. There are some thri ing factories, especially those pro- ducing government goods, but they are few and far between. The trusts last vear lost more than $100,000.000. We are now reaching another stage —the return of factories to private ownership—except in those industries essential to national defense. A [resr.‘ fight iy coming over this, but sheer economic necessity is driving the communists to take the step. 1s the working man better off? Large numberssof working men and women are out of employment and are living on out-of-work pay. In buying power their wages today are 62 per cent of those received in old |days. Housing has become worse | rather than better, for no new houses | have been built, and the experiment | of the workers in the early days of | the revolution of seizing the homes of the rich was not satisfactory. But here is a point important for foreigners to remember: The work- man 18 having & bad time, yet he does not dream of returning 'to old con- ditions. He would fight today as strongly as ever against counter-rev- olution. This government is his. If he and his friends have made mis- takes, they will try to do better next time. But restore white rule? Never! So they say, and apparently they mean what they say. Shrine in the Garage., | From the New Republic. People used to have large open fire- places, and they cooked everything at them and eat about them when they had finished eating. A later period glorified, as the center of home life, the kitchen range, the starting place of all good pie. Now people have steam heat and go to the delicatessen store. The Lares and Penates haven't died. They are immortal. They have only moved out into the little garage with the galvanized tin roof, and peo- ple are worshipping them now just as much lying on their backs tightening the chassic nute as when they were gazing at dying embers.

Panacea for Deadeuix;g of Sound Yields to Constructive Demands. From the Pullman News. Remember tho paper car wheel? It is not so very long ago that they were in active use in Pullman and general railway operations, but to- day they are only a memory. The paper car wheel always “intrigued” public interest. The traveling public heard the term, was tickled by it, but could not understand how the paper was applied or why it stood the travails of the road. It seemed a catchy idea Today the ilway Steel-Spring Company, successor (o the, Allen Paper Car Wheel Company, is pre- paring to evacuate its building ad- joining the Pullman Car Works, Chi- cago, and move to Chicago Heights. in the almost deserted plant’ are a few plles of the paper centers that once astonished the railway world. One of them has been secured for the Pullman_museum of relics, because George M. Pullman was a stockholder in the Allen Company, and for many years Pullman cars used its prod- ucts, which, though more expensive, were lighter The public's idea of the paper wheel's superfority was that the paper center would not be susceptible to the expanding and contracting i fluences of heat and cold. This was a misapprehension as the real reason was the deadening of sound under passenger cars, particularly Pull- mans. It was successful in this from the time of its invention in 1876 by R. N. Allen until the beginning of tho present century. Its usefulness then expired because of the tendency toward heavler cars, the paper failing to expand with the tire through the triction caused by brake service. It is estimated that brake service has increased 100 per cent in the last twenty years. The method of manufscturing the Allen wheel may prove of interest to the younger generation of car build- ers, operators and riders. Common strawboard paper was used, the sort that butchers had years ago for wrapping up_their meat for cus- tomers. The first step was to paste sixteen sheets together, press them while wet and then to bake them hard. Three sections, or forty-eight sheets, were then pressed together and dried in a kiln for thirty tof ninety days. The final process was to take four sections of forty-eight sheets, or 192, and- press them to- gether.
