NIGH TURNOVER IN LABOR IS BIS SOVIET PROBLEM Red Worker Faces Stiff Discipline Under New Kremlin Edict. Soviet leader* are ouotinr I.enin.

R. BV EI'GENE LYONS United Tress Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1f33. bv United Pressi MOSCOW, Feb, 11.- Further drastic limitations upon the individual workingman’s personal rights may be expected here as part of the regime of heightened revolutionary vigilance recently announced by Joseph Stalin and other Kremlin leaders. Legislation passed several months ago to "discipline'’ Russia’s growing army of industrial workers unquestionably will have teeth put into it and enforcement will be made more uncompromising. That legislation, it will be recalled, made it possible to deprive a workman and nis family of job, food-books and home for a single day s unjustified absence from work. It also placed the control of food supplies directly in the hands of the factory administrations. Lenin Is Quoted Perhaps the most candid indication that force will be used even against the ruling proletariat, where necessary, to raise production was given in his recent speech by Viacheslav Molotov, premier and one of Stalin's closest associates. Molotov quoted a passage from Lenin, in which the “Father of Bolshevism’’ had said that where productivity of labor demands it the government must not hesitate “to use force, so that the slogan of dictatorship of the proletariat may not be muddied by the practice of saccaharine methods by the proletarian power.” The emphasis which Molotov gave this quotation immeasurably is significant for the every day living and working conditions of the masses. Perhaps Ihe outstanding paradox of this nation’s social system is the contrast between the exaltation of the workers as a class, and their lack of freedom as individuals. Their personal lives will be even further subordinated to the needs of the Soviet undertaking.
Necessity Is Extreme It must be admitted that the Kremlin acts to limit the rights of poletaria.is only under extreme necessity. However casual it may be in liquidating other classes or controlling the thoughts and actions of other groups, it proceeds reluctantly in relation to the class which made the success of the Bolshevik revolution possible. But the necessity at the present moment is extreme. Industrial output has been running startlingly below schedule . . . Molotov placed the 1932 increase of output at 8.5 pm* cent, against the 3G per cent planned. Productivity of labor, he said, practically remained unchanged during the year. He scarcely is likely to exaggerate in the direction of pessimism. It may be supposed, therefore, that the reality was even worse than •he pictured it. Since lax labor discipline, such as absence from the factory, negligent work and fearful spoilage of products, is one of the main reasons for present economic difficulties, the tightening of discipline was inevitable. Prevent Labor Turnover In particular, it will be the aim of the authorities to prevent the disastrously high turnover of labor -—running to 100 or 200 per cent every month in some factories and mines. The broader principles of workers’ control of factories was thrown overboard years ago, with the institution of responsible industrial management. Every effort still is made to obtain workers' suggestions, and to take cognizance of complaints, precisely as in many intelligently run capitalist industries. But direct intrusion of factory hands in administrative matters is reduced to an absolute minimum. Doubtless, the tremendous powers put into the hands of the - employers.'’ that is to say, the management, by recent legislation will be used as little as possible. But the mere existence of such powers will be a deterrent. . No Room for “Agitators” After all. the most that a capi’alist. employer can do is to discharge a worker. The Soviet management in addition can deprive him of the right to work anywhere else for six months, can prevent him from buying food in official shops, and can drive him out of his home. The only capitalist parallel would be a “feudal" industrial town in which one corporation controls everything, including stores, housing, education, and in addition has a private police force to prevent strikes. Since the Soviet state is the sole employer, strikes here rightly are considered counter-revolutionary. Any "damned agitator" advocating a factory strike would be subject to shooting here as an enemy of the state. DISTRICT MEETING CF EAGLES HERE SUNDAY Indianapolis Eagles aerie will be hest at the lodge home. 43 West Vermont street, for a seventh district meeting at 2 Sunday afternoon.

DYNAMITE IN THE DARK!
Giant Munitions Warehouse Saved by Daring Sleuth
Jfes* ——_~ - _ _ ~ :V! EEHj^^rT 7 "^.'f ' TTt . " — 1
This is the fourth of a series of stones, based on information from the files of the United States Bureau of Investigation and other sources, telling for the first time the bureau s agents' part in famous mysteries. BY LOU WEDEMAR Times Staff Writer SPECIAL AGENT J-540 just had asked for permission to take his vacation earlier than it was scheduled. The chief looked at him quizzically and J-540 blushed. He was new in the bureau and hadn't mastered the poker face. “Well, sir. I'll tell you the reason,” he said. “I want to get married.” The chief laughed. “Go ahead, son,” he said. “Take as long as you need.” J-540 had been married just twenty-four hours when he was located by telegraph and ordered to Oklahoma City. Several disastrous fires had occurred on the Ft. Sill military reservation. Despite efforts of three separate organizations of fire-fighters on the reservation, new fires occurred with sinister regularity. In four months there had been eleven, with a loss of more than $3,000,000. The climax had occurred on Aug. 28, 1927, and J-540 was told about it on his arrival by the agent in charge. “One of the buildings at Ft. Sill is a big warehouse.” he said. “It contains 1,500,000 rounds of ammunition, several tons of explosive hand grenades and several tons of black powder and other high explosives. ”A week ago, during a small fire on the reservation, one of the officers saw a bonfire at one side of this warehouse. He put the fire out, but now the whole reservation is worried. "Now ydti’ll be of value, because you have served two enlistments in the army. You ought to be familiar enough with military life to get by at the post.” nun T-540 TELEPHONED his bride and proceeded to lose his identity. He bought an outfit of sec-ond-hand clothes, and hitch-hiked to Lawton, Okla., the county seat nearest the reservation. A county fair was in progress, and J-540, dusty and tired, was inconspicuous among the other hangers-on. He saw two privates from Ft. Sill, and managed to strike up an acquaintance. He learned little from them except the general layout of the reservation, but. adopting an attitude of stupid pestiferousness, he followed them to the headquarters of the Forty-fourth observation squadron. He stayed there for two days, doing odd jobs for the cook, until the officer in charge spotted him. "Chase that bum off the reservation!" the captain ordered.

So J-540 proceded to firehouse station No. 3. A hard-faced man stood outside the fire station, and on the principle that appearances are deceiving J-540 approached him with a sad story. He needed a sewing kit to patch his pants, J-540 said. Could he get one around there? The hard-faced one, Tim Conklin, got him a needle and some thread from another soldier, A1 Bickford. While he was waiting, J-540 got into conversation with a group of the men. who found the supposed tramp’s news of the outside world interesting. ‘•I suppose I’ll have to be signing up again,” J-540 said. “But I don’t like work, and there isn't any excitement in the service these days.” Conklin laughed. “Join the quartermaster's corps and you’ll get plenty of excitement,” he said, winking at Bickford. “We sure do.” “I suppose you call this excitement, sitting around doing nothing." “Hell. no. When we want to have some fun we get one of the fire trucks out.” a a tt FOR several days J-540 tried unsuccessfully to obtain a job with the civilian department of the quartermaster corps. He learned there was deep jealousy between the various fire units and that No. 3 had the best and fastest equipment. One afternoon Conklin was off duty. He and J-540 picked up a ride to Lawton, where J-540 found a money order “from his folks back home.” “Let’s have a party to celebrate,” he suggested. Conklin located two other men stationed at the fire house, Corporal Gasway and Private Carey, and J-540 took them to a movie and dinner. In -Lawton that was the nearest possible approach to a party. When the movie was over and they had drunk coffee there was nothing apparently left but to turn in for the night. As they stood on a street corner Conklin whispered something to Corporal Gasway, a six-footer known for his brutal treatment of underlings. “I don’t care if he has got money,” Gasway said aloud. “I don't trust him. I think he’s a government man!” J-540 whirled around. “Just what do you mean by that?” he demanded. an b C'tOME on. now. fellows, don’t let’s break up in a fight.” interposed Conklin. “I know he’s all right. Corporal. If he gives us the money for the gasoline, he'll be in it with us, and he won’t dare talk.” This pacified Gaswav. “We'll show you a real party, pal,” he said. “Just tag along with me.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
“We’ll have the biggest party we’ve ever nad, tonight.” J-540 knew he meant they were going to try to blow up the dynamite storenouse. He must get In touch with the major-general at once. The majorgeneral nad oeen notified by mail tnat an agent was at Fort bill investigating, and specially selected officers and men awaited J-540’s call. But would he be able to telephone the major-general? At the stroxe of midnight, J--540 entered an old barn near tne edge ol tne reservation, in company with Gasway, Conklin, and carey. "Carey,” the Corporal said, “it’s youi jou to make tne rounds lor tne fire signals and telephone boxes and put them out of commission. “we don’t want to be called out before tne fire gets under way, especially tonight. Weve got a lot or gasoline, thanks to our new pal. “ifou, Tom, go see Bob Hyatt, lie's the sentry nearest tne warefiouse. cast tune ne was on duty lie tired, tnree snots, as he was supposed to, but one damn near hit me. Tell nim to keep out or me way tonight. “I ll take care of the main job myself.” one of the others objected. “How do we know we won t get blown up, too?” “I got that all figured out. You and a1 start a file on tne other siqe ol the reservation, and* Joe wifi start one In Lawton. Weil be answering those alarms when tne Dig gun goes oft.” tt tt npHAT sober, sane human beings could plot, out ol pure miseneviousness, to blow up a government arsenal J-540 would not have believed. But Gasway summed it ail up when he said, "Boy, I sure get a thrill out ol riding those fiie engines!” It was nearly 4 o clock in the morning, just before dawn, when all of Conklin's and Gasway's arrangements were complete. All tiieir watches had been compared, and at 4 o'clock exactly three fires were to be ignited. “Then you can get under cover and watch the fireworks,” Conklin said with a hearty laugh. "Well put this dump on the map, or blow it off.” J-540 had managed to stay with Corporal Gasway, claiming the l'igni to help touch off the big storehouse. But, unknown to Gasway, he had used the telephone for a lew minu-.es. At exactly 4 o'clock Conklin set fire to a dwelling at the side of the reservation away from the explosives storehouse. He spoke to the sentry, who grinned and turned his back. As the flames whirred along a trail of gasoline, something unexpected happened. Forty soldiers surrounded Conklin and another fireman, disarmed the sentry, and extinguished the fire before it had done any damage. Simultaneously, in Lawton. Carey's group and two others were captured in ,: ’:e manner at the instant the gnited fires. No alarm we- tui ed in, for none was neces.' vy. And Corporal Gasway and Special Agent J-540 went about their task of blowing up Fort Sill. tt o a JUST what occurred still is not entirely clear, for J-540’s report simply says, "'Case 'completed as directed.” But around Ft. Sill they tell it- like this: The wind was blowing fitfully and Corporal Gasway was worried. Bidding J-540 wait for him beside an empty shack a few yards from the storehou.se. he went to the edge of a clearing and dug up a large package. “This is a little trick I saved up,” lie leered. Tt’s real dvna-

mite and a fuse. After the shed gets burning, we’ll light the fuse and run dike hell. Good thing the sentry isn’t around, or he’d get hurt.” A moment later Gasway set fire to some crumpled paper soaked in gasoline, and flames leaped up inside the shed. He and J-540 ran toward the warehouse. Gastvay fumbling with the fuse on the dynamite. At that moment the majorgeneral himself came around a corner of the warehouse on the run, at the head of about fifty, other officers and men. They had left their quarters at the first sign of movement near the storehouse. Corporal Gasway stopped in his tracks. “You trapped me!” he roared. “I’ll blow you all to hell!” With that he deliberately lighted the fuse. Before J-540 could interfere he hurled it toward the storehouse. In the excitement he hoped to be able to escape. The red spark of the fuse marked its course through the air. It fell to the ground and disappeared. A soldier grabbed Gasway, who was laughing wildly. a a a J-540 did not’hesitate. He could not tell where the dynamite had landed. Maybe the fuse had gone out'- maybe not. A moment later he discovered what had happened. The dynamite lay at the bottom of a ventilator shaft twenty feet deep. The ventilator was connected with the warehouse and its store of high explosives. And the fuse still was burning! It was an almost hopeless race against time, but someone had to risk it. J-540 called out: “Get everybody away from here. There’s no use any one else being hurt! ” With that he began his descent. The ladder shook. Its rungs were old and unsafe, but he managed to clamber part way down without falling. Would the explosion occur before he got to the bottom? The repercussion would not only blow him to bits, but it would probably set off the explosives stored in the big building nearby. a a it SIX feet from the bottom, the ladder, shaken by his frantic descent, buckled and threw him. He landed on the bottom with a thud. Wildly he felt around for the dynamite. He cc-uld not find it! Panic gripped him. Had he lost consciousness? Was he about to be blown to pieces? At that moment he heard the sputter of the fuse. His fall had knocked the dynamite aside, behind the debris of the ladder. He reached for it and brought it out. There was a scant half-inch projection of the fuse unburned as he grabbed it and pulled it out. Fort Sill was saved. Evidence given by J-540 and the men who had helped trap the firebugs sent Gasway, Conklin. Carey and ten others to the penitentiary for terms totalling 226 years. Four others, sentries, were courtmartialed. And J-540 came home to his bride, permanently prejudiced against firecrackers. Next: Car No. 21.

COTTON RELIEF BILL APPROVED BY COMMITTEE Separate Relief Measure Adopted to Crop Is Ordered Reported. 7 ?;/ T'nitrrf Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. The senate agriculture committee today voted to restrict the domestic allotment plan to wheat and cotton, and to report to the senate floor immediately a separate cotton relief measure adapted to that crop. Chairman Ellison D. Smith said cotton was removed from the allotment bill because the reported measure would provide the relief it needs as an essentially export crop. The Smith program authorizes government purchase of the 3,500,000 bales of cotton carryover now controlled by federal and semi-of-ficial agencies. The carryover would be resold on credit to farmers who agree to a 30 per cent production cut and its eventual sale in the fall in the open market, with all profits from the transaction going to the farmer. Southerners believe that the measure can be passed at the short session, and that President Hoover is favorable to it, although he is said to oppose the allotment bill. As passed by the house, the farm allotment bill covered seven crops. SENATE CLASHES ON TENURE REPEAL BILL Hostilities Brought to Halt by Adjournment. Teacher tenure repeal bill caused a sharp clash in the senate late Friday, hostilities having been halted by adjournment until 10 Monday morning.

Bill increasing to SI,OOO the present S6OO exemption from execution to satisfy judgment failed to obtain a constitutional majority, the vote having been 22 to 17. Resolution providing for easier amending of the state Constitution passed the senate Friday by a 27-to-16 vote. Senator E. Curtis White (Dem.. Indianapolis), author, told the senate: “If you believe the people of 1851 knew more about modern life than we do, then vote against the amendment.”
