Page Two FACTS SPIKE LYING REPORTS OF INCREASE in, AUTO OUTPUT All Plants Run On Sharply Reduced Schedules; Production Will Not Go Up in August Basic Reasons For Crisis in Auto Industry Worse; Foreign Sales Go Down | Jers, they print all sorts of fairy stories about “reopening” and “re- hiring of thousands of workers.” | Overproduction, the basic reason| for the crisis in the automobile in-| dustry, is now worse than at the be-| ginning of the year. Very little of| the automobiles produced have been| sold. According to the National City Bank bulletin of August first, automobile finance companies have had double the number of autos to] be turned back to them for non-pay- ment of installments than in 1929. This shows a glutted market and an inability of the bosses to get rid of the little they now produce. The} foreign sales have been cut in half,| with prospects for a further cut dur- ing the second half of the year. No amount of boss lies will hide these facts. More and more auto workers will become and remain un- employed. The agrarian crisis is hurting the automobile industry and throwing thousands out of work. It is impossible for the capitalists to hide the fact that the agrarian crisis will become worse as wheat contin-| : crisis is the story about in Detroit, June, were This is pure Detroit show were taken back , Graham-Paige, and| n here production lower pace than in ee weeks most f the Commer- Chronicle admits tion in August will j | last month, reater this light in No- December, and that} ly September and October y is e financial section of newspapers while onjues to drop below the 1914 price the front pages, to fool the work-| level.

The Musteite officials, however, had mustered their supporters and he resolution to accept, was car-} ied by 861 for, to 246 against. Rieve’s rising to speak was the ignal for a demonstration on the part of hosiery men, and through- it his talk he was interrupted by angry outbursts from the floor. With unemployment rampant in © hosiery industry, the application the agreement will be hundreds skilled mechanics, knitters, te be reed out of the industry, with the ntroduction of the two-machine ystem. That this general wage cut engi- neered by the hosiery officials is yut the preliminary to a series of nore cuts has been borne out by he fact that several manufacturers - notably the Aberle mill in Phila- delphia, have tried to put across sev- eral wage euts totaling from 35 to 40 5 7,000 TEXTILE WORKERS RALLY NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 4. — Over 7,000 workers from the New | Bedford and Fall River textile mills | protested on August 1, rallying en- | thusiastically under the slogans: “Defend the Soviet Union, “Not a ; Cent for Armaments, All Funds to the Unemployed,” “Work or Wages.” | At New Bedford, many war vet- erans made spontaneous speeches protesting against imperialist war, and showing their wounds, warned} | the workers against the nearness of a new world war. At the end of the Fall River meet-| ing, Bill Murdock, National Textile Workers Union organizer, was ar- rested by Chief of Police Feeney, on the trumped-up charge of drunk- enness. He was fined $5, and the case is to be appealed. Hundreds of workers demonstrat- ed in Providence, R. I, at Hoyle Square, and later at the City Hall amidst the greatest enthusiasm. These meetings will be utilized to} further mobilize the workers for a campaign to force the local gov- ernment to give unemployment re- lief, and in preparation for the mass Labor Day demonstration, when un- employed and employed workers will unite for unemployment demands, The National Textile Workers Un- ion is intensifying its fight to or- ganize the workers against the in- NOT FOOLED BY BOSSES NEW YORK.— Vanity Sportwear the strike in the be The bosses are do with gangsters door trying to sp to the workers individually, promising them all the things that the bosse: pro break a strike. wo! ers know it is all lies.

FIRING OUT OF TOWN WORKERS IS AFL PLAN NEW YORK.—In response to sharp criticism of the officials of A. F. L. building trades unions over the wages paid on many jobs, the Building Trades Council can think of only splitting tactics. In- stead of trying to raise the $6 paid for skilled workers to the union scale of $13.20 to $15.40, the coun- cil proposes to have discharged all out of town workers who may haye come here looking for jobs. The Empire State Building, of which Al Smith is the head, h fired 165 such workers. New Yo workers were taken instead—but without any raise in pay. The union scale is paid, nominally, on union jobs but actually workers have take a discount in many cases, and always are outrageously speeded. No pretense at paying a union scale is made on non-union jobs. BIG DEMONSTRATIONS: IN NORTHERN NEW YORK) BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 4. — Anti-War day in northern New York and North Eastern Pennsyl- vania was militantly celebrated by the workers. In Buffalo, 1,000 met without a permit. The police rode among them on horses and motor- cycles. There were four arrested: District Organizer Lustig, Clark, Scovio, and Ebbet. They are held on $500 bail each, with trial set for August 11. In Erie, Pa., with 1,500 demon- strating without a police permit, 10 workers joined the Cummnist Party. In Syracuse, N. Y., 800 demon- strated, eight joined the party and four joined the Young Communist League. Police attacked and broke up a crowd of 5,000 in Niagara Falls and made seven arrests: Harvey, Perl- man, Anyon, Himmelfarb, Pietkie- witz, Pinkobsky and one other. They are all held on $400 bail each. In Jamestown, N. Y., 200 dem- onstrated, I all these cities, even where the demonstrations were smashed by the police, large numbers of copies of the Daily Worker were sold.

The meet-| which makes such propaganda ef- | fectiye,” John W. Youngsblood, in an article in the Boston Chronicle, gro newspaper, unintentionally gives Communist activities ‘and suc- cesses among the Negro masses a long lease of life, since it is certain hat Negro oppression will never be abolished by the capitalist govern- ment, but only by the overthrow of the capitalirt system by the revolu- tionary workers, black and white, under the leadership of the Com- munist Party. Youngsblood, in an | ffort to warn the capitalist: that for the sake of capitalism more crumbs must be thrown the way of the Negro petty bourgeoisie, gives the following examples as some of the reasons for Communist suc- cesses: “In Baltimore, a Negro, Samuel trict One of the industrial union in New York (Distict One is the ter-} ritory west of Broadway and from 87th St. to 40th St.) will meet to- night at the office of the union, right after work.

Wright and a white foreman, Tom Winfree, had a fight and Wright had beaten the foreman. This, the planters around here decided would never do, as other Negroes would be encouraged to stand up for their rights, so they organized a mob and startedd after Wright. He bare- ly escaped them. “Tourney’s End’ Re-obens at The Henry Miller’s Theatre R. C.
