SOCIALISTS BACK FRENCH ARM PLAN, Uses It as Step for New | Arnis Race | PARIS.—The French imperialists have completed their new arms plan. The detailed document which is now ready for presentation at the Geneva “disarmament” confernece this month is cynically entitled “A Plan for Or- ganizaton of Peace.” Under the pre- | text of disarming, the plan would replace the present regular armies | with a huge militia force and an in- ternational Gencral Staff \ under French hegemon,. It accords the German bosses ie right to arm open- ly with a view of crushing the ap- proaching German revoluton and lin- ing up Germany in the anti-Soviet war front. “L'Humante, French Communist paper, says of the plan: “Imperialist. France is putting for- ward a plan, knowing full well that this plan is doomed to failure. When the plan has failed and the conditions put forward by imperialist France are rejected, imperialist France will then take up the lead: ip which it in fact has never abandoned. These are |the tactics which Blum (Socialist | leader) recommend:d so pathetically jon Saturday. If they (the foreign powers) = reject this plan, declared Blum, then France will once again become the center of the struggle for | freedom.” The U. S. imperialists and their socialist Jackeys are engaged in sim- ilar sham disarmament tactics, as fre- quently exposed by the Daily Worker. TOLL GROWS IN GRAN CHACA WAR Bolivia Socialists Help War Drive Bolivian heavy artillary and bomb- | ing planes took a frightful toll among Paraguayan troops yesterday, causing over 1,000 casualties and holding up the Paraguayan advance in the Gran Chaco region Paraguayan troops recklessly |thrown by the Paraguayan General | Staff against the fortified Positions | |of the Bolivians around Fort Saav- | |edra were met by a withering artil- |lary and aerial bombardment followed by a counter charge by Bolivian troops.

November ‘Communist’ Analyzes Miners Strike In an article in the November issue of “The Communist,” Comrade 8, Willner characterized the Ilinois miners’ strike as one of the most im- portant events in the struggle of the American working class since the be- ginning of the economic crisis. This article, “The Lessons of the Il- linois Miners’ Strike,” discusses the various phases of the strike in the most minute detail. Starting with the meaning of the strike, Comrade Willner takes up the tactics of the Party and the TUUL, the activity of the party and the TUUL until the removal of the Lewis-Waiker lead- ership, the Party's struggle against the Ansbury-Allard leadership, the formation of the Progressive Miners of America, the tactics of the Party and the TUUL in regard to the Pro- gressive Miners of America, the role played by the National Miners Union in the strike, and the sectarian and opportunist practices in the work of the Party during the strike. Finally, the article outlines the tasks which the Party and the TUUL have before them in the strike territory, The importance of this analysis can hardly be overemphasized. With big- ger class battles looming large before us, the mistakes of our work in this strike must be made known to all revolutionary workers, and these mis- takes corrected. \ WORKER CORRESPONDENCE Conditions on the Job During the Present Crisis Ford Worker Gets Sore; Beats Up a Foreman |Boss Tries to Speed-Up Workers by Threat of Firing Them EDGEWATER, N. J.—After we received a wage cut from $6 to $4 a day, exploitation is like this: In the export department one day we worked 13 hours but received pay for only 12 hours, Because Ford does not pay for more than 12 hours we were given but 30 minutes for lunch. On the following day a meeting was uae br Askin we were given a terroristic speech. This speech began: *- “You are not producing enough work. I think you are not satisfied that you are getting 50c an hour. Do not forget that Ford pays more than the other employers. Perhaps you do not know that there are 10 million unemployed in the country. If you | do not improve your work, tomorrow | you will be among those who would gladly work for a few cents an hour.” On the following |day Mr. Lewis begins to drive the workers, and ran | up against one worker who smacked him in the face, and would have got more, but Lewis's helpers saved him. y In another department matters are still worse. They work one or two days a week, working sometimes but 4 hours a day. In this department there is a cur by the name of Ma- loney, that is, not a cur but a real tiger. He deals with workers merci- lessly. But the workers would not toler- ate him any longer. The other day this ferocious animal jumped on one worker calling him all sorts of swear words. For which he paid, — the worker came back at him. Gave him two black eyes and tnocked out two teeth! ‘This will be confirmed by any Ford worker. Just before the elections, Ford put out an announcement telling the workers that if they don’t want them and their families to go hungry, they should vote for Hoover, since Hoover has already set things right and prosperity is again just around the corne?. Well, I appeal to my shop-mates not to believe this exploiter. Ford workers had already received two | cuts in one year, from 7 to 6 to 4. ‘These facts speak for themselves. I told them that by voting for Hoover, they are voting for poverty and mis- ery, and if they want to change this situation, they must vote for the workers’ candidates, Wm. Z. Foster and James Ford. —Ford Worker. One-Half Staff Produces Twice - As Much Work HAMILTON, O.—In the Champion Coated Paper Co. one-third of the workers were laid off and the same amount is produced as before the lay-off. Wages were, cut since 1929 once 20 per cent, another time 10 per cent. The average worker makes $2.84 per day; this is the lowest wages paiq in town. In order to speed up the worker a bonus system has been introduced. The women in the shop are now care- fully watched that they should not waste time, and the rest of the work- ers are terrorized by the bosses. The workers now work on three cutters, are speeded up to produce twice as much as before and half as much help needed. This is an ex- ample of the bosses’ wage cutting, speed-up system for the workers. —A Worker. Standard Oil Also Forces Workers to Sell Their Goods BALTIMORE, ” Md.—The Standard Oil bosses are doing some more rot- ten stuff to the workers: They force him after the miserable hours of work also to sell their goods, trying to scare him that if sales continue so low, the place will be shut down.

Where Workers Rule NIJNI NOVGOROD.—We, a group of 42 young students, all not over 17 years of age, study at the Nijni Nov- gorod Auto Factory Technical School named “M. U. D.” (International Youth Day). Our course is a two- year one, and when we graduate we are young qualified mechanics. ‘We are preparing {for our well- known Nijni-Novgorod Auto Factory, and while we study all our expenses are paid, and we get an allowance besides. We will tell you a little about our studies and work. Our week consist of five days; we study for four da; and on the fifth day we rest. One week we study and during the second week we do practical work at our factory laboratories. Our study per- iod {s six hours and our practical work four hours a day. The rest of our time we are occupied with social and cultural work, We are supplied with all the neces- sary tools and assistance. The out- of-town comrades live in dormitories. Some day we'll have dormitories for all students on the same premises with the Auto-Factory School and co- operative dining rooms. We want to organize a students’ commune and if we succeed we will write you all about it. As you see comrades, in our land of Soviets, we have all the advantages and opportu- nities to study. Well, we would like to hear what opportunities your country has taper. young men. Chats with Our Worcorrs The letter from the Auto Worker in the Edgewater Plant reveals the open revolt of individual workers to the terroristic treatment the workers receive from the foremen. Individual resistance will not help to improve conditions. Those who act alone will merely be victimized, and will not be able to help’ their equally un- fortunate shopmates, Organized resistance is the only Way anything can be accomplished. The Ford workers should quietly or- ganize into grievance committees in the various departments, and when- ever they get an opportunity where the workers feel solid enough to act together, this committee should lead in the action taken, The Forq Company and the Stand- ard Oil too, appeal to you to help yourself and make a little extra change by selling automobiles or oll in your ‘spare time, which is another method to create illusions in the minds of the workers, that if the company gives them a chance to make extra money by selling their products, then why organize and fight for unemployment relief and insur- ance. It’s about as easy to sell an auto these days as it is to peacefully pobleasas Morgan to give up his bil- ions, It is impossible for individual work- ers, no matter how energetic or in- telligent, to find a way out of our present crisis by themselves. Only by organized mass activity ‘can we resist such methods of fooling the workers into trying to improve their onan by such individual meth- is. ‘The workers who understand this scheme, must explain its purpose to the rest of the workers. Don’t fall for the bosses’ schemes, pcre Organize and act K. C. FORD PLANT CUTS PAY AGAIN Urge Workers to Join 2. Usa KANSAS crry, - Mo—The Ford plant here in the city has called a few men back to work, but the speed up is terrible. Most of us are getting 50c per hour, but in reality we only get 25¢ per hour, for we are doing the work of two and sometimes three man. Men, how much longer are we go- ing to stand for this? When we get to be 40 or 45 years old, Ford Motor Co. will throw us out in the scrape Pile to starve and freeze. ‘The writer of this letter was born and raised in Arkansas. My father was a pipe fitter on a western rail- road. I have worked on several rail- roads in the west. I also was in the shopman’s strike»of 1922.

This is done every four months or so. If this continues, we will soon be getting as little as the miners and others who | have been pressed down to starvation. There is also a nerve-wracking in- tensity of labor, created by stimulat- ing competition among the workers, which aims to divide the workers and makes them enemies of each other. ‘They violate the labor laws of our capitalist government too. The entire | staff, mostly consisting of youths under 21 years of age, are kept an hour or so overtime three or four times a week. Stock Buying Scheme An interesting fact is the way they schemed workers into buying stock which they knew would be worthless in a short time. This was just be- fore they filed voluntary bankruptcy. High officials would mingle with the workers, make friends with them, and then tell them the wonderful pros- pects of their stock. The workers, | fearing dismissal, bought these stocks | and lost their money. The need for organization has often been discussed amongst us workers.

Under the leadership of the Unemployed Coun- ceils and various workers’ organiza- tions of the North, South and West Ends, the oppressed masses of Bos- ton will voice their protest against the miserable and scanty relief pro- gram of Mayor Curley. Although the mayor proclaims thru the capitalist press his “truly noble” intentions toward the unemployed, the workers must struggle for every bit of relief they receive and each week more are cut from the charity lists. ‘The following demands will be pre- sented to the mayor: That each single worker be given six dollars a week, each unemployed couple ten dollars a week, with one dollar for each de- pendent; that free hot lunches with milk be served to the children of the unemployed by the schools; that ar- mories and imoccupied houses be turned over to the unemployed and homeless; and that free coal be dis- tributed immediately. Two columns will form at 11 a. m., one in the South End at Blackstone Park, the other in the West End at Merrimac Square; they will converge at Boston Common at 12:30 where a committee will be elected to present the demands to the mayor with in- structions that he place them before the City Council that same day in the presence of the workers’ com- mittee. ‘This city hunger march wil mo- bilize support for the National Hun- ger March, of which Column 8 as- sembles in Boston, Nov. 26. | While most of the capitalist pow- ropean states have informed the} Washington government of their in- ability to meet payment of interest jon their debts.
