55 -3- OLB Jitschin: In the Jungbunzlauer accumulator factory, the monotonously read speech was received by the workers (mostly women and girls) calmly and with timid help. By workers in part the attitude of the workers was seen as everyone knows how to behave. Likewise, the reception of the speech at the Asap works in Jungbunzlau was indifferent. In the Carborundum works in Neubenatek the impression was also reduced by the fact that the lecture was not convincingly presented. The workers at the end of the appeal went quietly apart without replying to the greeting of the speaker. Subsequently it was expressed in various ways that the speaker had brought nothing new and that one could read the same in the newspapers. It was observed, for example, by Stabenov in Chelakowitz, that workers smiled much at each other at the mention of the intrusion of almost the entire industry of Europe for the empire. In Elbekoseletz, workers said that the Germans should finally ensure that they were properly paid for and eaten; good words were not satisfied. The content of the speech had already been known from the newspapers. At Melicher in Brandeis, the speech was received acknowledgingly. Many workers said that they did not care who was shot; the main thing was that the food and supply issues were solved. It was high time that order was created. At the Liebig spinning mill in Eisenbrod, the speaker's presentations were attuned to about 70% of the workforce, which was expressed by head nods and affirmative gestures. Especially the statements on the trade in sheepmeat and other supply issues were taken into consideration and interested. Volman in Chelakowitz talked to workers about the company's appeal during the railway journey and said, among other things: "The company appeals are only theatres from the German side for us. There they send a speaker from our ranks to make us happy that the matter was meant seriously. Already the reading of the speech and the stuttering mode of presentation showed that it was a "must". The Germans want to give us only honey around our mouths in such appeals, in order to use our work for their warfare. They want to rob us of our intelligence and make us ärbeitsslaves without our own leadership. Have you noticed something that we are better off? No, even in the next supply period, the Germans want to take milk and our poultry, so that the stomach is full -4-
