SOVIET'S MOTOR WORKS
REPORTED TO BE FAILURE WAREHOUSES FLOODED. RIGA, April 14. (Received April 15, at 9 p.m.) The Soviet’s great motor works at Nijni-Novgorod, which employ 25,000 people, are reported to be a failure, and the conditions are tantamount to sabotage. Millions of roubles worth of plant —motors, electric apparatus, and machine parts—is lying in three feet of water in the flooded warehouses. A special commission has ordered the immediate construction of new warehouses and an investigation to discover the culprits.
The Soviet is further anxious in regard to the unsatisfactory condition of tlie Five-year-Plan in connection with coal, metallurgy, and agriculture. Ukraine and the North Caucasus are so backward in production that torchlight ploughing and sowing brigades are working all night.
