(By An Auto Worker Correspondent) | GRAND RAPIDS, |Hayes Body and Continental Auto-| 7 mobile plants here are organized| about 90 per cent in the Auto Work-| © jers Union. The workers were offer @ chance to join an A, F. of L. fed-/ eral union, but by exposing A. F. of | |L. leadership tactics to the workers, | the Auto Workers Union proved that | @ rank and file union was the only| junion for the workers. The union has compelled the com- pany to grant a 20 per cent increase in wages in the past, and recently | got them to furnish all perishable! tools, which has been a bone of con-| tention here for 12 or 15 years. When | the union was started it was started by nine men getting together and| | discussing the need for organization. | They joined the A. W. U. and started Anniversary | workers who could be trusted and carefully taking in workers until they | were sure they were strong enough | to come out in the open. When a strike threatened in Aug-| ust, the A.W.U. came out in the open} and took a united front stand with| the unorganized workers who had as their leaders reactionaries and com- pany stool pigeons. The tactics of these enemies of the working class were exposed by the leadership of the A.W.U,, and the strike was won with recognition of the Departmental and Shop Committees, which we have | kept active ever since. We believe that an organization can be kept going only by having a pro- gram and following it, by activizing all workers and constantly developing new leadership. At this writing the Hayes Body and Continental auto plants are shut |down. Quite a number of the work- ers are working in the Kelvinator Corp. plant and are starting an in- dustrial union, there. They have been ‘told that this plant is 100 per cent organized by the A. F. of L., but the workers in the plant say different. They are anxious to find out more about industrial unionism. About one- half the workers who have joined the A. F. of L, don’t know what the A. F. of L. stands for except that they are told the government is back of them. There is a deep unrest growing in the plant and the need for higher wages is felt by all workers. Unless the workers join rank and file unions, they can arbitrate forever and not better their conditions. | we | Mich—tThe| " building their ranks by approaching} fj | “Preeparity” Fades Graduate Chemist Gets $20 Away at Mossberg For 40 Hours in Ink nk Factory er Correspondent) Conn.—About three boy many more, but we have the room.

How many chemists are em~- ployed in printing ink factories in the ;U. 8.2? 2. What do such chemists yearly at present? earn 3. What was the average salary of | such chemists during the period of 1914-18, 1927-29? I-wrote to the Census Bureau; U.S. Department of Labor; United Typothetae of America; International rinting Ink Co.; National Associa- tion of Printing Ink Makers; Amer- ican Chemical Society. None of these six seem able to answer these ques- tions, or even gives an estimate of the approximate figures. In other words, no chemist has any idea of the wages paid in his pro- fession or trade, no private or gov- ernmental organization has any idea of what such wages may be, and even the associations of chemists seem to haye the idea that chemists should shoW no interest in wages. Perhaps} it is assumed that chemists should livé.on theories, formulas, and chem- ical. books, instead of on three square meals of food a day. ‘What Does American Chemical Society Offer? Ihave just received a letter from the American Chemical Society. This organization has just sent me a pamphlet explaining the advantages I_would gain by paying $9 to join their society. These advantages are explained in vague yet glowing terms, which, however, remind me too much of the “New Leader” editorial page, leaving me with the feeling that I have read some excellent English prose which means little or nothing in plain talk, ~The American Chem- ical ‘Society tells me that their sole object is to advance the welfare of chemists; they fail to explain how | they are doing this; they somehow | fail to realize that the wages chemists jearn have a certain effect upon the welfare of such chemists. It is my observation that the chemists are not yet class conscious, | many of them feel they are members jot the great American middie class. They fail to realize that today this class is neither great nor middle; Take, for instance, the chemists who work together with me. The man in charge, whose salary is $20 per week, is a college graduate, with |many years of experience in the fac- tories of millionaire ink and color manufacturers. However, this man feels that it is not dignified for pro- fessional (?) men to belong to a Union, and cannot undersand that without organization he is at the mercy of the boss. I myself have spent four years and Hamid of money going to college to become a graduate chemist. I have put in several years of hard work in Jaboratories and factories besides, Now I am paid $20 a week for a 40- hour week, My wife and I cannot afford our jown apartment, and live with rela- tives. In college, I showed more than average abil I was a chemical | student. In factory laboratories, 1 | took an interest in my work and per- |formed my duties capably and satis- factorily. Therefore, I cannot be- lieve that my small wages are due to incompetence. I have met chemists with more training than myself, who were offered jobs at even less than $20 per week. In conclusion, I am a constant reader of your paper, which I con- sider a very good one.

Our Readers speeches and all the rest of it, that the youngsters in the R.O.T.C. are taught to glory in, are they not essentially the same glorification of militarism as Mr. Hitler’? The other day a student in one of the Chicago schools was sus- pended because he refused to take an oath of allegiance to the Amer- ican flag. He was reinstated only on the mass protest raised through- out the city. Things like that hap- very often, and: are no acci- dent; they are part of a thought out and conscious plan for glorify- ing patriotism and “our” country. Just as much as we expose the actual, military and political prep- arations for war to the masses of the people, so we must continually and relentlessly expose the ideologi- | cal preparation of the minds of our youth for the poison of militarism and war. —™M.’ G, ACTION OF N. 8S. L. FORCES RE- INSTATEMENT OF STUDENT Chicago, Ill. Dear Comrade Editor: I am writing in an account of an event which took place at Manley High School here in Chicago and resulted in a swift victory for the organized students’ forces. The present week has been de- signated by the American Legion as “American Week.” In this connec- tion some sort ~~ patriotic assembly was held ai \-anley. Max Shain, a student who has been very ac- tive both in the Chicago Committee ogainst War and Fascism and the National Student League, asked the Princival for an opnortunity to pre- sent the point of view of these or- vanizations at the exercises. The request was refused. During the as- sembly Shain refused to stand and “pledge allegiance, etc.,” expressing his indignation ag-inst the jingoistic speeches, A teacher bawled him out. He would not be intimidated. Within an hour he was summoned to the | orincipal’s office and summarily dis- imissed’ without hearing or explana- tion. He immediately got in touch with N. 8.

The boss on the day shift, a big- eyed, bow-legged fellow, who tries to act tough, told me to come in and start at 3:30 p.m., at 90 cents per hour. At 3:10 by their own clock I had made my appearance. He looked at me several times, but as, by this time, the clock registered 4:25 and still he didn’t put me to work, I inquired: “When do I start?” He led me to a bench. I rolled up my sleeves and began working on a die about 35 per cent completed by the day man, A fellow named ‘Augie” Augustine, who is scared stiff of his job, had been watching me very closely, I asked the day-shift foreman to O.K. my card (time card) from 3:30, but he refused. This practice of stealing time on the diemakers is carried on by all the cheap, slave-driving shops. All respectable shops pay a man from the appointed time if he is on hand. “Augie” Augustine was my foreman and was formerly connected with the Kestlin Tool and Die Co., another slave shop. “Augie” is supposed to be an M.E.S.A. man, but as such I would say he is a disgrace to the or- ganization. Of course we must do a day’s work. But to carry on along “‘Augie’s” style, who makes a fellow member of the same ouifit feel miserable because the boss made him a straw-boss, ought to be condemned. These puppet bosses go around yelling: “Put it inthe fire, put it in the fire!” They want to get dies out like Henry Ford puts out his tin lizzies yelling around until they are blue under the gills.

We are forced to make up suits without getting any pay for it. Brothers and sisters: Refuse to do the work wthout pay! Let the boss give this charity (if it’s true) out of his own pocket. We made enough profits for the boss. We have noth- ing to give. : We are still forced to work 9 and Neither the union officials nor the N. R. A. is doing anything for us.

When children of unemployed par. ents demanded free hot ieches in this school, the school said they had no funds, but they take money from us to present and decozate a Christ- mas tree.

Workers Develop Strike Struggies The workers of Ohio during the summer developed a series of im- portant strike struggles. The most important of these was the Weirton- Steubenville steel strike of 10,000 in which the Commurist Party and §.M.W.I.U, played a very small part, limited to a few leaflets and meetings after the workers had declared the strike against advice of company and A. F. of L. officials. A series of smaller. strike struggles took place in Cleveland, some of them initiated and led by T.U.U.L. unions. In Youngstown, small department strikes in the Republic Mill took place under the S.M.W.I.U. leadership. Many strikes were initiated by the workers where the party was too slow or completely isolated and the A. F. of L. took over the leadership, invariably selling out the workers , | through N.R.A. negotiations. While several thousand were re- cruited to the T.U.U.L. urions during this period, about 1,500 of these have been consolidated into locals or groups with dues paying member- ship. While recognizing these posi- tive sides, compared with a situation previously where no T.U.U.L. existed, the District Plenum resolution em- phasized that the “few advances in trade union and unemployed work, indicates possibilities, rather than a basis for satisfaction.” It is im- portant to emphasize that this union work was not the activity of the Party as a whole but too much the work of a few top comrades with the help of individual comrades from in- terested units of the Party. In prac- tically no case was it a result of Party members working in factories with the assistance of their unit on the outside, that resulted tn strike struggles or union organization. ..
