Another report stated, concerning the 95 cent weekly drill pay, that “this money is considered in- come, and it is therefore cut from the relief allowance. This is a fur- ther cut in our relief.” Let us see whether this 95 cenis ® week can be regarded as extra income. First of all, 14 cents a week | is used for car fares. Then the offi- cers of the Guards have developed @ very efficient graft system. The guardsmen rarely receive a full pay | check. why this money is taken out, they are told that $1 was taken out for | @ subscription to the Illinois Guardsman, official organ of the 33d Division, or it would be more correct to-s2y the officiel organ of the offi- cers. In a vote taken by the Illinois Guardsman it was officially stated that 90 per cent of the men are against subscribing to the Illinois Guardsman. In one regiment one company refused 100 per cent to subscribe to the Illinois Guards- man, but the money was taken out nevertheless. Most of the men in the National Guards, who are either employed and receiving cuts in wages, or those who are unemployed, are against these conditions. For in- stance, a group of men in the 202d Coast Artillery got together and de- cided that they would not pay for the swimming pool. They issued a leaflet, calling upon the men not tc sign their checks unless they get their full pay. The result was that quite a number of men said they would not sign, and the officers, see- ing this, did not dare take any money out of the checks. So one way of fighting against graft in the N. G. is through organization. Since camp, which was held in July, there is about 50 per cent to 60 per cent fluctuation. Most of the men dropped out because of the totten food they received theze, which made many of them sick. N. Y. Ficiheit Mandeta When the guardsmen ask | {Also, some members of the N. G. |lost their lives because of the poor |tents that were given them. They contracted pneumonia, which | caused their death. Another big jreason for the dropping out of the N. G. is the fact that the money they are supposed to get from the |N. G. is taken out of their relief | allowances. Most of the boys joined in order to make these extra few cents. But in the end they do not get anything. | Dropping out of the N. G. will not solve anything. The big thing is to remain in the N. G. and do what |the boys did in the 202d. Get to- |gether and fight for your demands and rights, We fellows in the National Guard have adopted the following five- point program: 1, Our drill pay not be de- ducted from our relief budget. 2. For $5 weekly caish relief for | unemployed single men. 3. For the enactment of the | Workers Unemployment and So- | cial Insurance Bill (H. R. 7598). | 4, Against strike-breaking duty, 5. Initiation of a program of public works at 30 hours a week | at union wages, and in no case less than 60 cents an hour. | We realize that the Communist Party is the one who fights for |these demands. It is the Commu- nist Party that has these demands jin its platform. We are mostly }young fellows in the National |Guards, and it is the Communist |Party alone that has youth candi- dates and raises our demands. We | have studied carefully all the piat- |forms of the different parties, and | have come to the conclusion that | it is only the Communist Patry that has our interests at heart. | Therefore, we are going to Vote Communist November 6th. ‘We have received the following |reports from two members of the N. G. in Chicago. One is a for- |mer Republican and tells us that |he has gotten five people in his | ward who are going to vote Com- |munist. Another is a former Demo- crat who has worked many years |for the Democratic Party, and tells |ocrats in his precinct who are go- |ing to vote Communist this No- vember 6th. They stated: “Just be- cause the Communist Party is not | officially on the ballot will not stop us from voting Communist.

Vote Communist! Say Auto Workers | We'll Stay Out Until | We Win Our Demands, By a Dye Worker Correspondent PATERSON, N. J.—Since the 1933 strike, we workers of the | Gatti Dye shop have worked | under most miserable conditions. | There are 200 in the shop and we | have been getting below the union scale. Most have been getting 37% cents per hour and have been forced to work from 55 to 60 hours pér week. I was considered the highest paid in the shop. My wages were 5514 cents an hour, which is still 2 cents below the old contract wage rate. The hours in our old contact were supposed to be 40. The workers have always been expressing a lot of dissatisfaction with the shop, but our officials | did not seem to give so much help to enforce the contract. Now we are on strike and we mean to stay out this time until we have won our demands for bet- ter wages and shorter hours. We are putting up a militant fight with the finest solidarity, and I don’t think we should per- mit our officials to split our ranks by trying to incite the members against Communists or the Daily Worker. We need both in our fight. Rush Gives NoTimeTo Save Life | PITTSBURGH, Pa—We employ- ees of the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Co. hear one word constantly dinned into our ears. As Jong as there is work to be done it’s RUSH! RUSH! RUSH! This rushing is the cause of acci- dents here every day. The company has a set of safety rules but we never are allowed to obey them. That would be wasting too much time. Taking ordinary precautions would have saved Tom Flaherty’s life. But Tom had no time to tell the crane- man that he was going to work on the adjacent crane. And the crane man would have been too busy to listen if he had been told. So Tom, a pipe fitter, and his helper started to work on the crane in Section A. The crane man was hustling in moving his loads from one place to another. His crane crashed into the crane on which Tom was working. Tom was crushed between the two cranes, They rushed him to the medical depart- ment too late. Then they rushed |to remove .all traces of his blood. And now another wife had become |@ widow, other children are now orphans. The rules call for an extra man in the moving crane to watch the man on the stationary crane. But an_extra man was not available. |. The same day a machine operator had a hand cut off in the copper mill, There were other accidents, but they were hushed up. Only Thursday, Oct. 18, the men working near the power house, which is being erected, were startled to see a man falling from the roof of the coal bin to the railroad tracks below. Just a few minutes earlier they had seen Leo McDonald hust- ling about cheerful and smiling. Then they beheld his painted body on the ground. Leo, a tinner, had slipped from the roof where he was hurrying to erect a rain spout. He slipped. His wife and five children will have to live the best they can until Leo recovers from his injuries. A broken leg, severe back and other injuries will keep him in the hos- pital for months to come. But such accidents-are not at all rare here. They won’t be as long as | we are constantly ordered to RUSH! RUSH! RUSH! RUSH! THEN, made to HUSH! Harvester Fund Drive Hits Wages By a Metal Worker Correspondent CHICAGO, Ill.—The International Harvester Co. made a donation of $75,000 to the Chicago Community Fund, to get a good name as a big donator toward Chicago’s needy. For weeks and months the Chi- cago newspapers as well as the broadcasting over the radio have been appealing for funds. Every worker in the shop has re- ceived a letter from the president, Mr. McWinstry, for the fund appeal. What are these funds for? For instance, the Boy Scouts is one or- ganization which gets part of the fund. We knew the Boy Scouts pre- pare kids for the next war and to break strikes. Don’t we workers of International Harvester have a hard enough time trying to support ourselves and families on our small wages? $75,000 to a company like the International Harvester which makes millions of dollars in profits every year, is a drop in the bucket. To workers every penny counts. We donated last year, but it was never announced how much was collected. In addition, we have no proof that all the money goes where it is supposed to. Are we going to be fooled again this year? We say No! The way to fight this is through organizing workers in each depart- ment. Talk about it to the fellow next to you. Get every one in the department against signing for the Community Fund. Dye Strikers Declare | By a Metal Worker Correspendent | If Output Ford Worker Exposes Emptiness of Auto Magnate’s Promise By an Auto Worker Correspondent DETROIT, Mich—“The depres- | son is killed,” announces Henry} Ford through the capitalist press.) | Henry says that he intends to turn} | out a million or more cars in 1935. | Ford offers these statements and| |plans at a time when the auto in-| \dustry in Detroit has badly sagged, | |when thousands of auto workers have been idle from three to six! months, when the organizers of the| ;Community Fund in Detroit say,| “not even in the worst period of the} depression were destitution, mal- jnutrition, homeless men, women| and children so prominent and in| | need of help as they are just now.”’| | The present publicity of the 1935) |Ford plan is another of his depres- sion advertising stunts. The sfig- lgestion in its appearance was to try again to resurrect the myth of Henry Ford as a public benefactor. Roosevelt and the New Deal had | failed to kill the depression, but just let Henry alone, he'll do it! He} will put more men back to work. | No More Men To Be Hired Any Ford worker could tell you |that the Ford plant as it stood in | August, 1934, with only between 35,000 and 40,000 workers turned out about 650,000 automobiles. With |another increase of speed in the line, and the workers being em- ployed more than four days a week, the output of 1,000,000 cars could be | gotten without any increase in the number on the Ford payroll. | The speed-up in the assembly de- partments in 1934 was bad. The working day was not 8 hours but 91% to ten hours a day. The work- ers were on their jobs a half to three quar:ters of an hour before starting time, getting their bolts and uuts, screws, car fittings, and all the other parts ready in place to go when the whistle blew. It took them just about the same time at the end of the day. Henry got each day 1! to 2 hours of the| workers’ time for nothing. The conditions and speed-up | being what we have stated, one naturally asks, “Is it then possible| that the Ford worker could be} driven harder?” I can only answer j that this will depend on the Ford| workers. Henry Ford says, “Yes!” | More Slavery for 1935 | This is the Ford pian for 1935.) Ford has been hiring hundreds of |tool and die makers since June to make his own body dies and and parts. He is going to make in the} Ford plant all his own bodies. Briggs and Murray’s plant will not be needed. The new body assembly line has been laid down on the second floor in B building. Spray booths, drying booths, acid booths, and sanding floors are laid out so that the completion of the body will follow with mathematical pre- cision. A high wage will be $5 a day, a strict following of the line, workers packed together, rushed by bullying bosses and study men.| |“Low wages, a more intensive ap-| plication to the line, and a million or more cars,” says Henry, “Let’s go!” He has also installed quite a number of automatic machines for production which do not require as many workers. Perfection to Henry is the automatic machine that will not require any attention This has been nearly accomplished in the Foundry Machine Shop. In this shop, department 411, an automatic machine has been installed for the valve inserting ring job. This ma- chine will turn out 42,000 rings in | partment. | Speedup Will Cut Out Jobs Even Is Increased in Detroit ° / Group Organizations Urged for Every Department By an Auto Worker Correspondent DEARBORN, Mich.— The recent | exposures of the graft by the Ford | Executive Administration in the Daily Worker showed that in every Department robbery and corruption were rampant. These Ford executives were satis- fied to cut the Ford workers’ wages to the barest living margin, to drive the workers by increasing the speed of the conveyors’ lines from 2 miles a minute to 3 and 3% miles a min- ute, which compelled the worker to do almost twice as much in 8 hours | in 1934 as they did in 1932 and 1933. Furthermore, this cut wages on the 24 hours, just equivalent to what 42 men did in 24 hours in 1934, This machine with one man on each shift will do the work of 42 men; 39 men are out of a job. That's Ford’s ideal. I do not think that 1935 will go by without a workers’ struggle in the Ford plant. Even in the face of what the Ford workers have put up with in the past, even in the face of those pessimistic Ford] workers who suggest the impossi-| bility of making any organized ef- fort against further Ford slavery, it is definitely sure that the Ford workers will have something to say about it. Organization Is Way Out The Ford workers can be or- ganized. We have the experience of what small groups in certain de- partments have accomplished. Let dozens of small groups be gotten together on every job, in every de- partment. Some of the jobs’ are leading jobs, which when they are stopped close down the whole de- Seize upon every op- portunity to create an atmosphere of trust in every worker. Make the agreed upon demands. Once a start is made and we succeed in getting our demands, let the other groups know what you have done, and how you did it. It will give confidence to many workers in other departments, What you have done, they will say, we can do. Demand a slowing down of the line, half an hour for lunch in every department, 10 minute rest periods in ali parts of Ford or motor block castings, in the shake off in the foundry, in all spray beoths, heat treatments and ovens | of all descriptions throughout the plant. Demand shower baths and lockers. Demand more freedom during working hours for atten- tion to yeur person. Demand $6 a day, a 6-hour day, and a 5-day | week. These are just some suggestions) that I offer as a Ford worker.! There are many demands you know | about, referring particularly to your own job. You know what they are better than any one else. Get your groups together and put your demands forward to the Ford Mo- tor Co. Smash Ford’s 1935 more slavery plan, and fight for the Ford workers’ right to have some say in their working conditions. Steel Workers By Being Kept By a Steel Worker Correspondent SPARROWS POINT, Md.—Thou- sands have been laid off at the Sparrows Point Mills of the Beth- lehem Corporation. Ten thousand is the full force. We understand there are 8,000 now on the payroll. How many are actually working I don’t know. They have a new method of lay- ing off. At least they never used it here at Sparrows Point before. You are laid off, but your name stays on_the payroll. _ Some of these workers were sing- ing one night: “We are on the payroll, but we don’t get a goddamn cent. We are on the payroll, so we don't get relief. What the hell.good is the dog tag? You can’t eat it.” They lay you off, let you keep the brass check, you Stay on the payroll, and you stay off relief, The Welfare tells you you're not unem- Letters from VOTE AGAINST BRUTALITY! New York, N. Y; Dear Comrade Editor: I am one among the countless thousands who were sickcned and horrified by the news of the cow- ardly assault upon the hunger merchers by the Albany and State police, I was one of those who marched on the picket line that greeted our esteemed governor when he spoke at Hunts Point Palace on the evening of November 1. It was the first time that I had ever marched on a picket line and I saw how effective a demonstration of that type can be. When the signal was given that the Governor was about to emerge from the building, the police pushed us several hundred feet from the entrance. When Mr. Lehman finally made his appearance, there was no opportunity for the customary Denied Relief on Mill Payroll ployed, you're still an employee of the Bethlehem Steel (Steal) Corp. At present the pipe mill is doing better than any other mill in Spar- rows Point. Four days per week. for most workers’ there. The tin mill is rotten. Only 24 out of 48 mills work- ing. About 4 days every other week, with some level hands, and 3 hours thrown in. About 5 days Pay per month is what you get. In the sheet mili, hot mill work- ers on breakdown and _ finishing mills average about 9 days per month. The galvanizing department give 2 to 4 days per week, four weeks and one week off. The warehouse is getting 3 to 4 days at 6 hours per day. Blooming mill working %2 hour to 3 hours a day. Plate mills work one turn every other week. The shipyard is only doing a little ship repair now. The open hearth has only a few fur- naces Our Readers bowing and patting of babies’s heads. The thundering chorus of boos and cries of an oppressed people that assailed the governor's ears, completely drowning out an American Legion band playing ‘in the strect, musi have spoiled his Pleasure in the reception. Like a seared rabb‘t, with a bodyguard at each elbow, the governor dashed from the building and into his car and scooted away from that place so quickly that about all one could see of him was a flash of light re- flected from his uncovered bald pate. Unfortunately, the boos and cries will not heal the wounds and broken bones of those brave men and women who marched to Al- bany. Only time, rest and health- ful food will do that. But on Tues- day, November 6, we have an op- 4 ‘ average 45 per cent, all to benefit | the Ford Motor Co. They were not nly not content with doing this, but they had to pile it on by com- pelling many Ford workers to give them money, to buy them whisky, to buy their jobs, and they have a genereal cut in on the many rackets these Ford officials have engineered for their personal use. We now know that these Ford of- ficials had their country homes re- modeled and repaired by Ford work- ers on the company’s time, and that truckloads of cement, lumber, elec- trical piping and wiring, with all the necessary fixtures, were taken from the plant, like all the other mate- rial before mentioned, and done under the notice and approval: of the Ford service men. We know that the Ford workers have tremendous difficulties to over- come, but they are overcoming them. We know that in the Spring Up- set Building and the Motor Build- ing 3,000 to 4,000 workers compelled to 5 cents an hour, and there are innumerable instances where wage increases and improvements in provements in working conditions have been won with a little organ- ization and concerted action. We are still a bit distant from what we know is necessary, before we can let these Ford officials feel the power of the Ford workers. The Ford worker is becoming aware that they have been fooling him. At one time, say about 1928 to 1933, the whole plant would have been flooded with election petitions from one or the other candidates of the Republican or Democratic parties. During this election they have been conspicous by their ab- sence. I do not mean to say that no pe- titions were sent around, but they were not so many, and you could notice that they were signed less readily and refused with more cour- age. The Ford workers definitely stated they had had enough of it, In the general talk you would find they had made up their mind not to vote. They had concluded that between any candidates of the Re- | publicans or Democrats it would not. make any difference. At least they would say, it never did before. The Roosevelt administration and the New Deal has finished many work- ers’ education, so far as the Repub- licans and Democrats were con- cerned. But when you tell them there are Communist candidates it is differ- ent. Had they heard of John An- derson, an automobile worker, who is running for Governor of Mich- igan? Did they know John Pace, an ex-Ford worker who is running for U. S. Senator? Did they not think that a demand for “the right of the workers to organize, to belong to unions of their own choice. For unemployment and social insurance at the expense of the bosses and the Federal government” were good things? That a “demand for cash relief for unemployed Ford workers from the Ford Motor Co. pending Federal unemployment and social insurance” was not worth register- ing their vote for? The Ford workers agree that Clyde Ford, the Republican mayor of Dearborn when the Ford workers were shot down, would also be against the workers as Republican governor of Michigan. They realize that as Clyde Ford, while Mayor of Dearborn, worked for the interests of Henry Ford, he would be better able to do Henry Ford’s work as Governor, and they quickly decide it would be bad for them as work- ers. They have no use either for Le- viski, the nominee of the Democratic Party. The Ford worker is attending the Communist Party meetings in the Henry Ford-controlled townships around and about Dearborn. He is slowly but surely finding out things. The interest of the Ford worker can be aroused if we patiently talk to him. His conditions in the Ford plant make him receptive. Let us organize in groups in every department and be ready to put forward our demands when the new model Ford starts production, and how, let us not forget to vote Com- munist, portunity of displaying, very eifec- tively, our resentment of such bru- tality against our class brothers.

S., writes:—“I was | operated on Sept. 26 for repair of a left inquinal hernia and com- pletely discharged from the hospital nineteen days later, and in the rush of being discharged, was not given the necessary information. Do I have to wear a belt or suspensory? What werk can I do? Can I stand in the picket lines? Attend demon- strations? When may I work? How long musi I refrain from sexual in- tercourse?” 4 * Ordinarily, after an operation for hernia, the patient should be able to engage in ordinary activity after four to six weeks. This means go- ing to demonstrations, picketing, climbing stairs, riding in subways, etc. In about two months after the operation, light work may be started, such as, selling, or demonstrating, office work, and lifting light pack- ages. Before heavy work or strenu- ous exercises are begun, wait three to six months. Sexual intercourse may be re- sumed two or three months after the operation. For the average WORKERS’ HEALTH Conducted by the Daily Worker Medical Advisory Board case, no belt or truss or suspensory is needed. Though we give you this advice, we know how hard it is to follow it without worrying about loss of pay or loss of the job, or how to pay for the necessary rest.

J—Children of the dye strikers here held a parade thrcugh the Riverside section, strikers’ residence area, demon- strating for free clothing and free food from the school for all strikers’ and unemployed workers’ children. As the parade passed School 10 the children shouted slogans demand- their parents are struggling for bet- ter conditions in the shops. Some teachers in School 10 are making a practice of beating the children of the dye strikers. These children are suffering from mal- nutrition, nervous disorders - and heart trouble, as a result of the starvation wages paid their parents in the dye factories.

It sang of the beauties of America—the land of plenty. That land never existed for the working women of America. It is the object of their rapidly mount- ing struggles. The America that has existed for the workers is a botched job, fashioned by the bosses. Here it is, as it stands forth in sharp con- trast, in every day’s news. * 8 8 “Oh, beautful for spacious skies.” Four women fillers fly their planes across the country, stopping at vari- ous cities to recruit women into the Air Reserve Corps.
