Mass Layoffs Continue in 5,000 Laid Off at Studebaker Auto South Bend, Ind. | | Daily Worker: | The Studebaker Auto Corp. has| laid off 6,000 workers and shut down its mills completely. The of- ficial says it is only for 7 days, the layoff. | The mills have been running for | 40 per cent of ist normal capacity for over a year. The company has a rationalization system in its plants, and speed-up. 1 Workers have been laid off right along last year to the present time.

The company is installing a new ma- chine which in spéed is far ahead of anything seen this far. The fastest machine turns out 22 rings a minute, while a discarded machine made only 5 even that is not enough. Right now they mount a new machine, which will tarn out 30 rings a minute.

The Daily Worker: Dear Editor: This is to let you know that we the Spanish workers of Spanish des- cendents are very badly hit by the unemployment situation. And al- though several hundreds have ship- ped back to their country there are more than 25,000 of us almost crazy hunting for something to do, Some of the fellows are good! workers and with families to sup- port. Hundreds were laid off in the! Mergenthaler Linotype Co. Only Irish-Americans were left and the poor Spanish workers, that had been working hard, some for 5 years, with the company, were laid off. ‘The foremen, most of them are lvrish-Americans and of course they try to keep their own people. They Jet the poor Spanish workers starve. This is called a humanitar- ian country. —G. F. G. Tin Mi: on Shori Time Indiana Harbor, Ind. Daily Worker:— { Again 4 mills out of 24 (of the| Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co. tin mills) will be off this week. The workers are all “pepped” up with the idea that we are going to work four days instead of three and six next week. . Their optimism in face of the pre- vailing conditions is pathetic. I'll have to see it before I'll believe it.; Short Times Prevalent. We have been on short time for three months now, if we do pick up it will only be for a short time. Merely a gesture on the company’s part to pacify the workers for an- other three months of part time work later. Organize! Make the companies pay the extra men (floaters). No more doubling up. Demand steady work. Your existence depends on social insurance. Fight for it as you would for life, —J. W. ny ma Make Workers Pay for ‘Charity’ Seattle, Wash. Daily Worker: The Seattle Chamber of Com- merce is preparing another Com- munity Chest Drive with ihe old halleballoo of helping the needy. Last year they succeeded in getting $750,000 by the “Terror Method” of either contributing $5 or losing your job. Py The bosses way of doing things, with fewer workers on the job, it looks like new schemes will be in- vented to make the workers bear the load of the drive, no doubt, the bosses slogan will be, “Ten Dollars or Lose Your Job.” Irony of it all, A.

Seattle Chamber of Commerce never forgets to have their annual “Community Chest Drive”; but they do forget unemployed workers who are broke; sleeping in box cars, digging in garbage cans and are knocked about from pillar to post to starve or go to jail.

Daily Worker: Dear Editor:—I have read in your paper about the embargo on Soviet ships. I fully agree with you when you say that this gov- ernment has no interest in us workers.

Dear Sir: About 2 weeks ago I made a com- plaint to the Methodist Society on Fifth Ave., about the bad conditions in Mt. Morris Park, 124 Madison Ave. A mother and her two small children one day were sitting in the grass when a dtunken-crazed man threw a bottle and nearly struck the little baby in the face. The little girl fell on the grass one day while running and cut her hand very badly from these broken bottles. Bookies in Park. Well, I understand that a married woman made @ complaint about the hand book men that run the i2th and Madison Ave. park, where any- body can make a bet. Men, women and even a policeman’s wife bets every day. So these last 4 days it looks like the Federal men are after the for- mer police they had here in the park because the policeman and ser- geant were paid in the open. Only the gambler would put the money in their sleeves, Jazzy Walker. I guess that’s why Mayor Walker is getting shaky as sooner or later people will arise and demand jus- tice, it is nothing to see stacving men and drunken women in the park 24 hours a day. So I hope you will print this let- ter as it will expose the rotten con- ditions and why the government of- ficials don’t demand the dischorge of hundreds of N. Y. policemen im- mediately. I’m sure they have got the goods on them by now if t!-y want to prosecute. ~HARLEM MOTHER.

Y. Amer- | iean on Aug. 31, 1930, puts the lie | quoted above, that this is “An Ex- | ecution by the Dreaded Cheka,” ete. | The Daily Worker reproduction of the picture from the booklet ‘sued by the Czech-Slovaks in Pitts | burgh years ago, appears at the | left (see photographs above) of the one showing the Hearst forgery. It shows the rest of the page of the booklet, which Hearst left out, clearly proving that the picture Slovak people hung by the Austro- Hungarian army. Under the pic- jture in the booklet it is said: “Women were not permitted to from hanging with men”—and be- jlow that, the text of the booklet’s story of Austro-Hungarians exe- cuting 60,000 Slav civilians. The Daily Worker reproduces jalso, in this story, the front page |of the booklet “The Trail of the | Hun” from which Hearst the forger took the picture he published last Sunday in the N. Y. American over the lying caption that this hanging was the work of the “Cheka” with |the added words that the “Cheka” is “utterly unprincipled.” The Daily Worker leaves this statement with the American work- ing class to decide who is “utterly | unprincipled,” Hearst, one of the jrulers of America’s capitalist dic- tatorship, or the workers who, as the state political administration | (OGPU), defend the workers and ‘peasants government from just such criminals and plotters against it as William Randolph Hearst. This is not the first time Hearst | has been cornered as a forger and war propagandist. Of late his papers have been filled with anti- Soviet lies. In 1898, Hearst sent the artist | Frederick Remington to Cuba wtih | the order: “You furnish the pi }tures and I'll furnish the war! And he did! The war came shortly afterward. In 1927, Hearst published an al- leged “war plan” of Japan, (written ‘in Japanese that nobody could | understand!) with the “explanation” \that this was the plot showing how Japan was planning to “seize San Francisco” and a lot of other rub- bish, Also, late in 1927, Hearst pub- lished—at a time when the Catholic | church was rebelling against the Mexican government—a bunch of forged documents, which were proven to be forgeries against the | Mexican government (then still half- | heartedly struggling against Amer- ‘ican imperialism).
