f aid DAILY WORKEHK, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1931 Miners Face Stark Hunger; WORKERS BREAK DOWN UNDER KILLING SPEED AT GENERAL MOTORS Wages Cut in All Plants From 10 to 40 Per! Cent.; Thousands of Jobless Roam Streets Workers Awakening to Need of Organization and Struggle Daily Worker: Pontiac, Mich. At General Motors plants in this city the workers are receiving gratifications in form of lay-offs, wage-cuts and speed-ups. At the present time the factories are only working part time, during the last two weeks about two thousand work- ers have been laid off, in the near future the plants are ex- pected to shut down for a month or longer. The workers that are still working are subject to the most vicious speed-up system ever known. down the workers physically ando— mentally. Some workers faint on the job from exhaustion. Wage Cuts The wages have been cut in all plants from 10 to 40 per cent; 95 per cent of the workers are on piece- work. The workers have to work hard to make $5 in a day, In some cases as low as $1. workers work on a job that pays about $6 for two days then they put him on a job that he cannot make more than $2 or less. If any of the workers complain about this they tell him that there are plenty of men outside. About two thousand of unemploy- ed workers are roaming the streets in search for work. The poor com- mission has been handing out a measly relief of $1 a week claiming that the city and the county is broke. The single men and women they tell them that they will take them out to the country infirmatory where they will put the mto work without pay. The workers in this city are awak- ening to the fact that if the workers ever will win anything it will be through struggle. The workers are looking toward the TUUL and the ©. P. for leadership. The Unem- ployed Council in this city is fight- ing for the rights of the unemployed ‘workers. Last week another bank closed its They let the | The speed is breaking doors, thousands of workers losing their savings. Six months ago the Peoples State Bank closed up with $200,000 in deposits. The bank that closed last week was the Pontiac Commercial Bank, around $4,000,000 in deposits. The Trade Union Unity League made a decision to call all small depositors to a protest meet- ing. When our comrades were ready to go out with the leaflets they were arrested. Five were picked up only three had leaflets, so they were held for investigation. Those com- rades were released after they had spent 48 hours in the county jail. Two days after one of our leading comrades was arrested. He is still in jail Comrade Bradley is charged with spreading rumor about the First National Bank. On this charge they think they can railroad him to jail for five years. Organize! ‘This is the beginning of police ter- ror against the working class that was started here by order of General Motors. They want the workers to be terrorized so that they dare not protest when they cut the wages still lower. But they are mistaken. The militancy of the workers is growing. Fellow workers, let’s organize strong- er than ever. Help build the Auto Workers Union, ILD, and the Com- munist Party. —Auto Worker, Detroit Bank Crashes; Robs Children’s Pennies Detroit, Mich. Dear Comrades: Tt must be because of the advanc- {ng prosperity that the banks can't stay in business. ‘Today I've met a man of advanced age( who lived at Berkley, Mich. This man swore that the sidewalks seemed to be moving. “Just think of it, my friend,” he said, “them bastards have induced the kids in the school to save money; so I was crazy enough to have my eight-year-old daughter take her pennies, nickles, dimes and quar- ters to the school, and the teachers ‘were depositing this money for them in the Royal Oak State Bank. Now it's busted, and my child’s savings are gone.” ‘The children that lost their saved up pennies in the Royal Oak Bank were herded in front of Father Coughlin’s shrine and bribed with ice cream to keep their hungry mouths shut about their loss. Seven trucks of ice cream were consumed. So now, no one can tell me that the priests are not in for bribing the poor victims. Comradely yours, F. 8. Pg aa Editorial Note—Workers who have savings in the Royal Oak Bank should organize at once into a com- mittee and demand of the state gov- ernment that the deposits of the workers be returned at once in full. The Communist Party will give lead- ership to the robbed workers in drawing up demands and organiz~ ing these committees. Ladies Neckware Cuts Piecework Rates New York City. Comrades: Like every other line, the ladies’ neckwear line is on the bum. Con- sequently the piece-workers have “fobs,” but no work. The bosses, particularly in A. Back & Qo., have thought up a scheme to take advan- tage of the situation. They let the girls make “stock” at half the usual rates paid for the work, If by chance an order arrives, the stock is on hand, produced at half the former cost. The employers pretend that they do this for the giris’ sake, “in order to give them something to do.” This same firm and others have been continually cutting down the piece-work rates, so that even did business pick up the girls could not make more than a meager living. ‘They also use the blacklist and re- fuse to hire girls who have left other neckwear factories, their excuse be- ing that they do not desire to rob the other manufacturer of his help. —L. 8. -Frisco Unemployed Council to Demand Food.

All through this district families are starving by the hundreds and the Associated Charities refuse to disgorge their loot. The Unemployed Council found five cases of destitute families in one block, ranging from 4 to 11 in one family. We organized them and went to large chain stores like the McMarr to demand food, but the only answer we got was to go to the Associated Charities who had already refused the food that they needed. ‘The members of the Mission dis- trict council are organizing these families and will soon go to the City Hall, not to beg food but to demand it, backed by the strength of thousands of unemployed in the city of San Francisco.

Here is an instance of the kind of relief that this fellow Lebech hands out. He gave a man a pound Lebech asked this man where he lived, and when the man told him he scolded him for living in a neigh- borhood of ‘grafters and hootleggers,’ The man told Lebech that there was more graft right in the City Hall than any place in the city. There- upon Lebech slammed the cage door in the man’s face and told him to get the hell out of the office and to consider himself lucky that he got any “relief.” ‘We are demanding the removal of Miners, Write for the | “Dally Worker” Miners, when you are off picket duty and have a few moments to spare, get some paper and a pencil and write a few lines to the Daily | Worker about the progress you are making in the great strike.

Farmers in Organizing Drive Sheriff and Judge in Threat to Kill All Organizers, ‘Reds’ {Special to the Daily Worker.) ENGLAND, Ark—In an effort to stop organization of the heroic Eng- jand, Arkansas, farmers by the United Farmers’ League the county authorities, headed by Sheriff Wil- liams, are resorting to legal and gang terrorism. Last week Comrade T. H. Davis, a sympathizer of the Party, who had been distributing some cop- jes of the Daily Worker and the United Farmers’ League program, was arrested by Sheriff Williams at the head of a posse. A skunk by the name of Allison, who had posed as a friend of the poor farmers, was responsible for getting Davis pinched. Comrade Davis was forced to get into the car and was threatened by Sheriff Williams as follows: “By God, Davis, I’m sheriff of Pulaski County and I am going to ‘tell you that T could shoot your damn brains out and there would never be any- thing said about it.” A number of times the sheriff and the deputies left the car, hoping that Davis would make a break for it, and so they would have a chance to plug him. But Comrade Davis was too wise to fall for this little game. All the way down to the jail the deputies cursed the Communists and threatened to shoot any Red that came down near England. At the company jail Comrade Davis was charged with vagrancy and inciting to riot. The main witness against him was this stool pigeon Allison, who has a reputation not only as a snitch, but as a thief. Allison would have been in the penitentiary now were it not for the intervention of the big land owner, Duncan, whose tool he is. During the course of the trial Judge Harb tried to browbeat Com- rade Davis, telling him that he ought to be tarred and feathered. But Davis stood his ground, and stated that he was trying to get the farm laborers to strike for a dollar a day for chopping cotton, and that there was nothing wrong in this. ‘The judge then fined him $300 and six months in jail, ’but suspended the sentence pending “good behavior,” If Judge Harb and Sheriff Blake Williams think that this kind of raw stuff is going to scare the farming folks hereabouts they are mistaken, Davis and the rest of us are going to kep right on organizing. If we don’t do something it means that we will starve this winter. Last Thursday the sheriff got @ tip that we were going to hold a meeting, so he rushed three carloads of law down near England to break it up. But he acted a little too fast this time, because he had wrong in- formation. ‘We don’t know much about Com- munism here, but conditions are so that we've got to do something. Please tell the readers of the Daily Worker that what the farmers around here did last January was just a starter. There's going to be more than that happen this winter, if things don’t start getting better. MARY RICHYNSKI OF PHILA.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 29.—Men and women go out on the picket lines without a bite to eat, face the guns of the deputy sheriffs— the “yellow dogs’ —the coal and iron police and state troopers, and then come back—and again Yet despite it they stick and fight, there is not a thing to eat. but it can’t go on that way. appeal for relief that every worker should read signed by strike leaders at all the fighting zones in the strike: “We need food and funds at once. sylvania, Ohio and West Virginia@ Miners Relief Committee, 611 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa.

There are 45,000 of our mine com- rades now on strike. Altogether there are about 150,000 striking min- ers, wives and children to feed. “Our relief committees at every striking mine are working very hard. ‘They are out in the field among the farmers, in the towns in the strike area, collecting everything they can, even the stalest bread at the bak- eries. Every bite of food counts. The coal operators have reduced us to actual poverty. In thousands of homes there is not even a penny to buy a pinch of salt. The moment this big strike against the starvation began, we knew we would collect strike relief immediately, and out we went, and we are still out, every day and all day long, combing the city streets and country highways for every mouthful of food we can get. “This strike has now grown so big that it has become impossible for our mine and section strike committees to eollect enough food for these thousands of families, for the tens of thousands of children whom the coal operators have starved until they are mere skeletons. The strike spreads every day, into Ohio, into West Virginia, and now we must ur- gently ask the workers and their or- ganizations in every city throughout the nation, to come to our aid im- mediately, “We know that workers In other industries are also suffering wage, cuts; we know that millions of the workers are unemployed—but we feel that right here in this big strike we are militantly fighting the slashing of not only our wages, but your wages as well; are fighting unem- ployment. in. that we join the unem- ployed workers in their struggle for unemployment insurance and imme- didite’ relief.

Force Fakers to Give} Floor to Miners PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 29.—A/ number of carpenters locals, one/| painters local, paperhangers, uphols- | tery weavers, and dozens of others, | have passed resolutions endorsing the | miners strike. The most interesting incident occurred in Local 25. This local is an upholstery weavers local with a membership of 2,000. Just: be- fore our delegation applied a letter was read from the A. #. of L., telling them not to have anything to do with the miners strike, stating def- initely that the strike had been set- tled by the UMWA. The letter was tabled. A few minutes later our| miners delegation presented their credentials. The business agent and other officials took the floor and told the workers that this was a Com- munist union. He made a motion that the floor should not be granted, The motion was lost, two thirds of the 500 present voting against it. The miners then came in and were greet- ed with great applause. After they were through, the workers eagerly be- gan asking questions from all sides. ‘The miners told them about the con- ditions, etc. Then a representative of the Trade Union Unity League spoke and he too, received a fine reception. A resolution was passed on the miners strike demanding the withdrawal of the coal and fron police. The Miners Campaign for Relief in Philadelphia is very closely connected up with the left-wing struggle in the old unions. Already, we can see that those organizations that have been visited and where the rank and file workers were well represented at the meetings, workers turned down the Yeadership and enthusiastically ac- cepted the delegation in behalf of the miners. ers, for the purpose of smashing the workers’ fatherland. The plan in Beck's own words is in the line of an international eco- nomical blockade of the Soviet ‘Union. “If such an economic conference were to serve notice on Russia that the other industrial nations had agreed fo put an embargo upon all|. Russian products if produced by na- tional capital and conscripted labor, then Russia would have a second thought about its five year plan.” Because the attack against the Soviet Union is the uppermost in the ference ought to be held before the next disarmament conference. The Hoover moratorium scheme saved Germany from a revolution, says Beck, but the economic crisis which powers want to five year plan which is inspiration to the working masses of the entire world, The working masses of the entire world, however, will defend the five year plan of the workers’ fatherland.
