Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label on verso BC: (East Germans) 9/61 10) SKEPTICAL TRADE UNIONISTS listen to official \ speaking at a meeting in the Warnow Works at Warnemunde. \ Trade Unions are Party controlled but no all members are \ convinced Communists. Now that the Berlin border has been \ sealed, Communist Boss Ulbricht expects increased produc- \ tion in the same hours for the same pay, a move which \ formerly would have increased the flow of refugees toward \ Western Germany. \ Credit: Erich Lessing © 1961 MAGNUM PHOTOS
