Excerpt from The Code of Labor Laws of Soviet Russia
In the lssue of soviet russia for February lt, the Soviet Bureau publishes in full the new code of Labor Laws of Soviet Russia. Ostensibly it is propaganda to impress American workmen with its advanced ideas as to the right to work, the eight hour day, the protection of women and children in industry, and unemployment and disability insur ance. As a matter of fact, however, it shows a state of ad airs with reference to labor which is anything but enlightened. By it labor is put back into a state of serfdom and oppression the like of which has not been known for a century. If every Ameri can workman could read this labor code carefully he would be thoroughly disillusioned as to the claim that the Soviet Government of Russia is a working man's government or that it has interested itself in the welfare of labor. It has, on the contrary, im posed a tyranny which has deprived labor of all the rights and privileges hitherto attained.

Excerpt from The Code of Labor Laws of Soviet Russia
Every laborer must carry a labor booklet, which is like a passport. In it must be entered every payment he receives, the hours he works or is absent, the group and category to which he has been assigned by the Valuation Commission, and every other detail of his life and activity. A wage earner must present his booklet upon the request of any of the authorities or institutions.
"A wage earner is not permitted to change from one job to another except by the permission duly certified by the labor authorities, under whom he becomes virtually an industrial serf hound to his job. If a man wishes to quit work, he must secure a certificate from the bureau of medical experts proving his disability, and whether it is temporary or permanent. Leaves of absence may be granted by agreement between the management of enterprises and workmen's committees, but a wage earner shall not be allowed to work for remuneration during his leave of absence.
"No American workman should (would?) submit for a moment to such a tyrannical and oppressive system and a reading of this code shows clearly how far the autocracy at Moscow has gone in the direction of reaction and destruction of the liberty and right of the individual."
