In Communist Hungary more than 900,000 workers eat daily at factory restaurants. Many of these workers eat breakfast as well as supper there. In its report to the National Trade Congress in 1953, the control committee of the trade unions complained that among 2,000 factory restaurants only 100 served two-dish meals while in many of these factory restaurants the quality, quantity, and variety of food were below standard. To complain about poor quality of restaurants and substandard living conditions in a police state is a dangerous thing to do. Usually the complainant is exposed to punitive action. However, after Imre Nagy announced his seemingly more liberal new economic policy on July 4, 1953, a great wave of charges flooded editors’ offices every day, depicting the workers’ miserable living conditions and reporting instances where complainants had been punished. Existence of unsatisfactory working conditions has been a compelling factor in encouraging the discontented worker to seek higher wages elsewhere. To counteract this increasing trend, the Hungarian Supreme Court laid down a decision that workers could be criminally prosecuted for quitting their jobs. Generally, suspicion hovers over the head of each Hungarian worker. If his state loan subscription is small, if be complain* of some injustice or misses classes in the party seminar, he is soon accused of being a Fascist, a westerner, an enemy of the people. UNREST AND There are, nevertheless, instances of open defiance of the regime, striking illustrations revealing that resistance continues among the Hungarian workmen. According to Szabad Nép: In the railway station of the telephone factory Gyula Harsány greets loudly his circle of friends every morning in English. Whenever he has the opportunity he praises the Americans and the Social Democrats. On the first day of subscription for the peace loan, he said iron'caliv: “I will be a sucker if I give 20 percent of my salary for a business of that kind.” Such, daring shown by one individual encourages others in resistance to the regime. As one young Hungarian escapee, a former worker, said: As time went on, 1 made friends with my crew mates. There was no reason to fear being reported if one made anti-Communist remarks, because out of 300 workers in my group not more than one-half of 1 percent were Communists. As late as the summer and autumn of 1954 new measures were taken DISCONTENT against the Hungarian workers under the title ^‘Rationalization and Reorganization of Industry.” As a consequence of these measures at least a quarter of a million workers from industry and government offices were discharged. Unemployment always existed under the Hungarian Communist regime owing to the lack of raw materials and semifinished products, and the disappearance of a profitable export trade to the freeworld markets. It was only disguised and covered up by artificial measures. Now' the problem of unemployment came out into the open. Since in Hungary, aß elsewhere in the Communist world, practically the oniy employer is the state, and since factors other than economic play a part in the hiring and firing of workers, the anxiety and irritation of the unemployed has beer, turned against the regime. Discontent was particularly marked among the young skilled' workers who after a few years of employment were discharged with no real prospect to apply again their skills. (To ho continued)
