A WORKER'S VERSIO OF THE JOBLESS REBELLION AT FORD'S Workers Had Not Forgotten March 6 Demon- stration and Met Police-Thugs With Stones “The Bosses Aint Seen Nothin’ Yet” Says Toiler —Ford’s Paper Tries to Lie Out of It (By a Worker Correspondent) DETROIT, Mich—After standing all night in the line at Ford River Rouge employment office on March 30 and up into the morning of the next day an army of unemployed, greatly underestimated by the capitalist newspapers at 20,000, refused to be mauled and manhandled by the Dearborn police and Ford service men. One cop was very roughly handled. Every available police in Dearborn and the entire Ford service force was sent. to the scene. The workers had not forgotten the March 6 demonstration and when these thugs appeared they were met with a barrage of stones and pebbles. Many workers used their overshoes to fight with, Fist fights were seen on all sides. The workers held out against these armed forces for more than an hour before dispersing. The lying Dearborn Independent tried to cover the miserable con- ditions here by saying: “The crowd was composed mostly of men from other parts of the country, attracted here by a report that Ford had increased production.” It admits this almost turned out to be the worst “mob outbreak” in Michigan history. Well, “They ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” These men are beginning to see that the Communist Party will give them the leadership they need and will soon come back under this leadership. —One of the Damned Fools Who Fought for “Democracy.” What March 6 Did to This Jobless Worker (By a Worker Correspondent) DETROIT, Mich.—I have already) The next place I went for a job) been out of work for six months|they asked me if I were a Catholic | and don’t see prosperity yet.
