INDUSTRIAL DICTATORS
FACTORY MANAGERS’ POWERS IN RUSSIA DRASTIC ORDERS ISSUED iAustralian and N.Z Press Association) BERLIN, Monday. The Soviet is beginning to learn the elementary principles of industrial management. The central committee of the Communist Party has issued drastic orders pointing out that trades union factory committees often have defeated all efforts to place Russian industries on a paying basis. Factory managers, accordingly, have been vested with dictatorial powers. They are now authorised to engage and dismiss employees and to issue orders regarding administration without consulting the workers, who are only to be permitted to lodge complaints with the higher political authorities. The orders of factory managers must not be subjected to criticism on either political or technical grounds. Industry henceforward is to be placed on a strictly business basis. The effect of allowing the factories to become politics-ridden has been to terrorise the directors, who feared they would be denounced to the authorities as bourgeoisie.
