SOVIET METHODS
WHARF WORK AT ODESSA UNDER GUARD OF SENTRIES (Received 9th October, 2 p.m.) LONDON, Bth October. The arrival of the British steamer Gullpbol at Southampton with a cargo of grain from Odessa afforded England a strange insight into Soviet methods. The crew state that Russian men loading the vessel worked under sentries with fixed bayonets, and were only allowed one hour in every twelve for meals, and had to snatch sleep between jobs. The women worked in spells of fourteen hours. All were badly dressed and dirty, and huddled against the funnels of the vessel seeking warmth when, resting. Men and women offered the crew of the Gullpool money if allowed to stow away.
