Changes in the Number of Industrial Workers and the Main Characteristics of its Distribution Alfréd Lehoczky The author treats the matter dividing it into three chapters. In the first chapter he analyses the distribution of the industrial workers’ number concerning the state of things in the years 1900 and 1910 on the basis of industry developed in the county Borsod. Within this scope he deals with the rates of crafstmen and those working in the big industries separately. He makes two important statements: in this area the county has the character of the big industries, but the chief-town of the county (Miskolc) has that of the small-scale industries. He draws our attention to the effect of this fact in connection with the development of labour movement. The other fact is that in an intensified way do the conditions in Borsod reflect the characteristic features of industrial development in our country, namely „the gradually decreasing circle of the gradually increasing dimensions of factories is not built on the widest base of the widest categories of factories, but above the wide base the middle parts had broken off while the top rises safely, too.” The second chapter deals with the sources of industrial working force and establishes that in the second half of the 19th century the county Borsod had been one of the few counties- as a consequence of industrial development, which had an enticing effect on other areas. He shows the changes taking place in the territorial distribution of sources of the industrial working force. He deals separately with the different features of the various industrial districts and here does he analyse the development of the district Ózd in a detailed form. In this chapter he deals with the effect of emigration on labour force, then he analyses the conditions under which the stabilization of the labour force took place. The third chapter deals with the changes in the social structure of the county. He takes the dynamic increases of population one after the other strongly underlying the quick industrial development of Miskolc. As an effect of the industry he analyses the labour force in agriculture, as well as the rate of the occupied population and the state of natural increase. In the chapter he deals with the distribution of population according to their nationality and religion and with the effect of the location of industrial investments included here. Data to the History of Liberation and the Beginnings of Democratic Transformation in Miskolc and Borsod Mrs Berán, Éva Nemes In consequence of the liberation operations of Red Army in December 1944 and at the behest of Soviet headquarters the public administration began to work and solve the most important problems of public supply and health as well as other problems of the population. Among the political parties the Communist Party, which had been illegal until then was the first to regain its footing. In the early days the party organization in Miskolc was established and it became the ferment of the evolvement of the democratic popular movement. It mobilized all democratic forces for the struggle in accordance with the policy of the anti-fascist solidarity, which had also been followed in the resistance move271
