SOVIET METHODS.
BAKERY BUSINESS SEIZED.
NEW SENSATION IN IRELAND. By Telegraph.—Press Assn—Copyright. Received September 1, 8.5 p.m. London, Sept. 1. The Morning Post’s Dublin correspondent reports that the Transport Union officials and members, in consequence of the firm’s non-paymemnt of claims made by the union on behalf of dismissed employees, seized Messrs. Cleeve’s flourmill and bakery business in Bruree, near Limerick, from which 'hey are now selling flour, meal, bread and coal below the normal prices. Over the entrance to the premises appears the following notification: “Bruree Soviet Workers’ Mills. We make bread, not profits. The mills and bakery are now the property of the workers. It is hoped prices will be reduced and profiteering abolished within a day.—By order of the workers.” Both the Red and Sinn Fein flags fly over the building. The union claims that since it took over control it has doubled the bakery’s output, and intends increasing the staff to cope with the customers’ demands.
