English Translation

30 -2 - On 28 October there is only a new message from Neubijov (Onz Ke- Lin): Eg is there the slogan to celebrate the 28thlo. in peace at home and on this day no inn to visit. II. Individual processes: l.) Operating appeal: In the electrical engineering factory ETA in Prague the appeal was to take place on 22ndlo. 17 o'clock, however, was transferred telefonically to l4 o' clock. At this time, however, neither the speaker Paleček nor his companion appeared. 6o0 workers waited in vain for 1/4 hour. No one thought it appropriate to renunciate himself. At the telephone request of the company chairman at the trade union center he was told that probably the speaker had fallen ill and there was no further information. At the company Standard Electrie Toms u.Co in Prague-Verschowdz, the appealers (about loo Ange- gestellt) after initial coolness noticed the content of the speech, although it was poorly read. In the Anna shaft of the protectorate huts in Pibrans (OLB Tabor) the whole Belgium of the shaft did not enter at l3.lo. and was gathered to listen to the speech. When no speaker appeared until 9.30 a.m., the factory manager called at the union secretariat in Pibrans and received the answer that the appeal was postponed to the 16th lo.. As then could no longer be entered, 23o men missed their underground shift and there was a significant loss of lead ores in the case of further payment of the Lehn. The operating appeal at the l6.lo. was therefore from the outset under an unfavourable sign and also had an atmospheric negative effect. The operating call at the machine factory Smolik in Pibrans on the l6,lo. had no positive effect as a result of the monotonous lecture of the speaker. Eg was later expressed that one should rather take care that one gets something to eat than to make such speeches. The mood was bad as a result of the already known reduction in the milk and meat distribution anyway. It is remarkable that Jews also participated in the appeal with the Jewish stars. In summary, OLB Mähr.Ostrau reports that the working class generally follows with interest the remarks of the company appeals, but hardly expresses itself. Only from the Wsetiner Armswerken positive conversations of the workers about the appeal became known. In another company in Wsetin, the workers are missing a response to questions of wage policy. -3
