toV - 1o - Participation in the city shops of Kojetein renounced. The Mlčoch party also tried in so-called zialm area, by advocating for social improvement of its followers, as far as they were employed in the sugar factory Kojetine, which was under German management. At the end of the first week of this year's campaign, the dissatisfaction of the piece workers with the remuneration became apparent and, after a negotiation with the company's manager, led to a 25-day increase in the rates. The wage rate thus announced by the Ministry of Social and Health Administration satisfied the examinations of the time-wage workers. The compositional workers, who were no longer in agreement with the higher wage rates after the improvement of the time-wage workers, now turned to the manager for the second time with the request for a wage increase. However, he refused to receive them. The head of the district of the Mlčoch movement in Kojetein, who was also present to him in this situation, was at home to contact the competent authority. Then, with zvei representatives of the chord workers, the head of a district went to my department and brought a complaint about the working conditions prevailing in the company, the low wages and the poor treatment. On 1 May the Kojeteiner Zuckerfabrik was concerned by my head of the division for labour input, whereby the enormous consumption of forces of the chord workers and furthermore, among minor other defects, determined the absence of any social and technical auxiliary equipment. However, I must point out that the tariffs imposed by the Protectorate's Administration in the form of the Kojeteine sugar factory are totally inadequate, and therefore the complaints of the chord workers appear to be justified. The Mlčoch movement is not allowed to represent the workers directly.
