Vrigidaire Workers Must Boost Ice Boxes on Pain of Losing Jobs Dayon, Ohio. Daily Worker: % The Frigidaire Co. of Dayton, Ohio, has a new scheme to exploit its workers. After laying off hundreds of workers the bosses now in- timidate those who are on the job. Every worker who is employed must go out after working hours and get customers for the Frigidaire. Everyone selling a Frigidaire receives $5 extra in his pay envelope. The regular salesmen receive only about $25 or $30 salary and they have not been able to sell enough of the Frigidaires that are stocked. THREATEN JOB. 4 Any workers refusing to be a salesman after a hard day’s work is threatened with his job. The company says that every worker must co-operate and put the company back on its feet. GROUP SYSTEM. At the same time the company asks for “co-operation” they have what they call the group system. .A group of workers get a job to- gether, After the day’s work is done the pay is averaged up and those who have made $10 worth are not paid what they have made. It is worked so that each man does not get more than 50 cents an hour. One can be the best machinist. Some of the men who have been on the job for the past ten years are placed with those who are inexperienced and as a result their wages are lowered. MUST ORGANIZE! General Motors Corporation, who owns other companies in Dayton and is doing everything to stop workers from organizing, are laying off workers, and thinking up all kinds of ways in order to cut the wages of those who are working. Now they want them to “help” them get rid of their over-production. The workers of Frigidaire and the other General Motors plants of Dayton must organize into the Metal Workers’ Industrial League. We must be prepared to fight against the group system, wage-cuts, unemployment. The headquarters of the Trade Union Unity League is 108% S. Jefferson St., to which every worker is invited. —FRIGIDAIRE WORKER.

Suppose they all get $4 a day. But since by Green’s “worker-manage- ment co-operation” they speed up and produce each $8 worth of stuff a day, a “surplus” piles up because with $4 a day they can’t buy back $8 worth of goods from the boss. A lot of them must lose their jobs until the surplus disappears. Those who have no jobs can’t spend even the $4, so demand falls off. Now it is clear that only when they get that $4 worth of value they pro- duce, can production be balanced with demand. But that would no longer be capi- talism. The boss’s profit would be cut out. So Green was perfectly safe in “suggesting” that production be balanced with demand, since he knows that it can’t be done under capitalism, and he will fight to the last ditch to save capitalism from being overthrown by the workers. So Green’s “suggestion” is merely asking that the jobless chase butterflies—illusions, It’s “A New Dignity.” | But Coolidge, hypocritical jackass that he is, declares that the bute flies can be caught, and that it | up to the workers to do it. Listen! He says: | “Qur wage earners have been raised to a new dignity and must themselves assume new respon- | sibnities, The employer cannot produce unless they buy. If they will live up to that end of the partnership, they will start a movement that will eliminate the 10 per cent reduction in business that causes our trouble. When business is declining the people cannot expect to increase sav- ings.” Just as a side comment, we will mention that we saw a few folks in the Soviet Union afflicted like Cal. Only instead of getting $2 a word for getting off idiocies like the above, they were sheltered in an asylum and allowed to play with their toes. All the workers need to do is to | relieve, nay, to cure unemployment, is to spend money! The -writer, |and, I am sure, the reader, would like to spend more money. Mayor Curley of ‘Boston, who will make a speech greeting the A. F. of L. Con- vention, in a Feredrated Press item, says, a la Coolidge, that “If every- one-will spend $20 for household or Personal necessities, the industrial workers | | Register Sept. 16th | in Order to Vote PITTSBURGH, Sept. 11—The Communist Party has a full state | ticket in Pennsylvania with local | candidates for congress and legis- lature in Pittsburgh and Philadel- |phia.

Evidently you’re holding out on the oss, just for cussedness! What? You have no mone. And you dare quote from an A.

F. of L, even try to keep what they saved. It says: “Many labor unions and union- | ists were among those hardest hit when the California Savings Bank was closed.” Now, to get away from all thi: failure of the workers to spend money, because they have none, we suggest, first, that the A. F. of L. workers raise hell with Green over his “positions” on unemployment. Then, secondly, to furnish the workers money to spend, the Com- munist Party has proposed a_ bill for congress, providing that every worker who is not working, either because he ean find no job, or is disabled, or too old (even 45) for the bosses to hire, shall receive at least $25 a week at the expense, entirely, of the capitalists.
