The foreman "found that much of a cutter's time was lost in carrying leather to the cutting machine. ... He figured out that this could be done by an auxiliary worker. . . ."

...Behind this trade-union fight was a very simple fact: embittered by early .Soviet Army excesses, Russian reparation removals, and more recent deportation of labor, the German working class has become increasingly anti-Russian.
