RUSSIA’S WORKERS
STRINGENT NEW REGULATIONS LONDON, June 11. A new Soviet measure, designed to raise the standard of discipline and the productivity of labour, requires every worker to utilise every hour of the working day, says the Riga correspondent of The Times. Payment of wages will be made in the worker’s time, in order to avoid delay; damages to tools will be deducted from wages. Workers may be removed without option, under penalties, to other enterprises. The introduction of an extra hour for compulsory technical training is proving widely popular, and the distribution of commodities, as bonus rewards for faithful service among timber workers, is checking desertions. Those who work until the ports are ice-bound will be specially recognised.
