After attending public school, Turkia, aged 12, started working at the Halla sawmill in 1883.
Matti Turkia	75,672,944	Early life	Turkia became attracted to socialism after witnessing the poor working conditions at the Halla sawmill. He joined the Finnish Labour Party in 1895 and was involved in organising a strike at the sawmil in 1898. The mill owners fired the strike organisers and conspired with other employers in the Kotka region to blacklist them. Despite this, and the use of strikebreakers, the strikers were successful in having their demands met. Child labour at the mill was discontinued, the working day was reduced by two hours from 13½ hours to 11½ hours and wages were increased by up to 50%. The mill owners did not however re-instate Turkia, whom they considered to be a radical.

He was against calling the workers guard as Red Guard as it would alarm the public and wanted the guards armed. He was commander-in-chief of the guards in October/November 1917 and during the general strike.

Tynnichus

75,673,036

Tynnichus (in Greek: Τύννιχος, fl. 6th century BC) was an ancient Greek doric poet from Chalcis. He developed distinctive paeans with musical accompaniment in honor of the god Apollo, particularly for the cessation of infectious diseases. This form of poetry, more religious in nature, was first perfected in Crete and from there spread to Delphi, ancient Sparta, and other regions of ancient Greece.

Tynnichus

75,673,036

He is mentioned in Plato's dialogue "Ion" as an example, noting that none of his works are memorable except for his paean, which is widely sung and perhaps one of the most beautiful odes ever created, described by Tynnichus himself as an invention of the Muses.
