Trotsky established in these writings the intimate relationship between the policies pursued by the Stalinist-led parties of the • splitti Communist International and the twists and turns of the ruling bureaucracy in the Soviet Union. So it is important to place these writings in their correct From its earliest days the pottery industry has been notor- • ious for the major health hazards its constituted. Floating silica dust resulted in pneumoconiosis, the lead solu- tions for glazing and colouring, resulted in the development of lead poisoning and rotting of bone and flesh. Also, the extreme of heat and cold in the area of the kilns all contributed to premature old age and death. Frederick Engels in his book "The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844' out- lined some of the terrible effects of pottery work in those days: • by far the most in- jurious is the work of those who dip the finished article into a fluid containing great quantities of lead, and often arsenic, or have to take the freshly 'dipped article up with the hand. "The hands and clothing of these workers, adults children are always wet with this fluid, the skin softens and falls off under the constant contact with rough objects, so that the fingers often bleed, and are constantly in a state nost favourable for the absorp- tion of this dangerous sub- stance.
