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)
