In a letter to the Daily Worker, : U.S. Workers’ one of the members of the Social- ist Party local writes: “Dear Comrades: “The Socialist Party local of | gloom which has pervaded the at- Somerville has endorsed the Na- tional Congress for Unemployment and Social Insurance and has unan- imously voted to send a delegate. “Due to lack of funds, we have been unable to supply our delegate with full expenses, but he has agreed to make his own way to New York City by hitch-hiking, and we will pay the remainder of his ex- penses. “The Cambridge unit of the Com- munist Party, with whom we have @ local united front, has offered to help us raise funds to pay the full fare of our delegate, although we did not ask them to do this. Such actions cannot fail to help bring the national united front which our local earnestly desires. “Several of our members are working in the local sponsoring committee for Cambridge and vi- cinity. We are glad to be able to participate in effective action for federal unemployment insurance.” In addition to representatives from the Socialist and Communist Parties, the Cambridge sponsoring committee also has representatives from the Teachers Federation of Cambridge, Scandinavian Workers Club, Lithuanian International La- bor Defense, Methodist Church, Lex- ington Relief Workers Union, Friends of Panvor, and the Water- town Building Trades Local. To date a total of four delegates has been elected as a result of the work of the Cambridge sponsoring committee.

Reactionary Leader Of ’Frisco Union Gets - Job as State Official SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Dec. 27. —In recognition of the services of the reactionary leaders of the San | posed Francisco Central Lebor Council in breaking the General Strike last July, Governor Merriam has ap- pointed Edward L. Nolan, former president of the Building Trades Council here, as state labor com- missioner. ‘This is by the trade union officials as a “friendly ad- vance to labor” on the part of the Governor, who was bitterly de- nounced in virtually every union for sending the National Guard into the strike area, Nolan immediately declared, in a public statement, that he is a firm believer in arbitration. Hosiery Workers Plan Strike Against Pay Cut By Southern Mill Boss CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec, 27. —Workers of the Richmond Hosiery Mill at Roseville, members of Local Monday to reject the pay cut an- nounced by the company last Fri- day, and decided to strike. The 525 workers of the plant elected a strike committee and wrote to the national headquarters of the union oe eee ee walkout. The union reports workers of other mills are backing them, and will come out in support of the strike. These mills are the Daisy, Soddy, and Arrowhead Mills. Union Wins Ouster Fight WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 27.— The determined struggle of N. R. A. Employes Lodge 91 of the Amer- ican Federation of Government Em- ployes against Negro discrimination and for the right to picket, has smashed the attempt of the National leadership to oust the lodge. FE. Claude Babcock, national president of the A. F. G. E., has withdrawn all his charges against the lodge. After Lodge 91 had circulated a printed report exposing and ob- jJecting to segregation of Negro union members in separate lodges, to the over-ruling of a resolution against Negro. discrimination, to the outlawing of picketing and large union delegations to present griev- ances, and to other reactionary poli- cies of the top leadership, Babcock had charged it with “conduct un- becoming a labor union,” “dis- loyalty,” and “misleading state- ments.” He gave notice of inten- tion to recall the lodge’s charter. A number of other lodges of the A. F. G, E. thereupon rallied to the defense of Lodge 91 and aggres- sively took up the issues involved. A sharp fight was developing in the union when the charges were with- drawn. Chicago Police In New Drive onCommunists CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—Resistance by workers to attacks on their liv- ing standards and constitutional tights always has been considered a crime by the bosses and their courts and police, and this week Commissioner of Police James P. Allman gives open expression to this reactionary view in an order Placing militant workers, who may be arrested on any charge what- ever, in a special criminal category. The order follows: “To Commanding Officers: Re- ferring to General Order No. 226, “Complaint is made that some districts are not complying with G. O. No, 226. You will comply with this order in the future. Whenever a Communist is arrested for any violation, you will immediately notify the Industrial Squad by | (PRIVATE TELEPHONE) DIAL P, A. X. 477. In addition, you will in each instance forward report for the Industrial Squad through chan- \nels giving the names, addresses, names of arresting officers, cireum- | stances of the case, section under which charged. “(Sgd.) JAMES P, ALLMAN, Commissioner of Police.” Chicago workers are rallying their forces to compel Commissioner All- man to retract his fascist order, and will hold a United Front Con- ference on Sunday, Jan. 13, at 10 am. at the Mirror Hall, 1136 N. Western Avenue. The conference will endorse the Communist Party candidates, Karl lLockner for Mayor; Samuel T. Hammersmarck for City Treasurer, and Herbert Newton for City Clerk, and will take steps to further develop the united front fight on the fascist attacks initiated by the United States Chamber of Commerce and the Hearst press, against working class organizations.

The Street Pavers, Watermain and Sewer Workers Union has also endorsed Initiative Four, and elected its president, Lawrence Constantino, and its secretary, Robert Smith, as dele- gates to the State Congress. The finance committee has. issued tags to be sold to cover the expenses of the Congress. All workers’ or- ganizations have been asked to ap- ply for the tag day material at the State headquarters or at the local offices of the Machinists Union, Labor Temple. Initiative Four, except for the in- clusion of a clause stating that the act shall be effective until the pas- sage of the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill, is the same as the! Workers’ Bill.

Should the bill not be passed, it then goes on the ballot delegates to the conference, DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 27—What is the truth of the ballyhoo which is flooding the bosses’ newspapers throughout the country that auto production has risen and hence the crisis is shown to be coming to an end? An analysis of the figures of auto production shows that the temporary seasonal rise in produc- tion of new models has been brought about at the same time that profits have soared, speed-up has increased, and real wages have declined. Never were the auto work- ers, ridden by company unions, in @ more miserable or poverty-stricken. state than now. The stepping up of assembly lines on 1935 models has brought about a rise in automobile production, Since this is the “season” for the auto industry, such a rise was to be expected. But it does not signify as the capitalist press claims, that the automobile industry is showing the way out of the crisis for all of industry. There is no sign of a genuine industrial revival, and the capitalist experts themselves say that production and business ac- tivity in 1935 will hardly be better than in 1934 as a whole, vO for the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill H.R.

This became clear from the state- ment by H. A. Featherstone, presi- dent of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street and Electric Railway Employees, made last Friday. He said: “We are awaiting the’ results of the hearing on our controversy in Washington by the National Labor Relations Board. After it is over we'l know more about what we'll do’.” This accounts for strike activity coming to a virtual standstill, and scabs operating cars with little in- terference. Following the National Relations Board finding that the Los Angeles Railyway Company is guilty of vio- lating section 7-A of the N.RA., there has been no change in the at the next general elections. Wage Cuts Lurk Behind Auto In 1934 some 2,500,000 automobiles and trucks were produced in com- parison with about 5,500,000 units in 1929. Thus the industry was still operating at a level that was 55 per cent lower than its peak. And in terms of its estimated capacity of 10,000,000 units, its indicated opera- tions show a crisis state. The advance of auto production in 1934 over 1933 was due to the need for replacing vehicles that were worn-out even before the on- set of the crisis, and a reduction and a merciless speed-up. It is sig- in prices achieved by low wages nificant that the increase in pro- duction was brought about without & corresponding rise in employment. The price reductions were entirely at the expense of the workers. The manufacturers have enjoyed 3re- mendous profits under the New Deal In_1932 General Motors profits were $164,979. During 1933 its profits sky-rocketed to $83,213,675. And in the first nine months of 1934 its Profits totalled $92,445,341. Some of the smaller companies earned $57,848,000 in the first ten months of 1933 and during the same period in 1934 their profits rose to $91,851,- waiting policy of the union officials. At the same time the real wages of auto workers were falling even according to the official figures of the Michigan Department of Labor. Their annual wages, it has been ad- mitted by Roosevelt and govern- ment spokesmen, run between $500 and $200. As a result of seasonal slumps all the workers who are em- ployed only have part-time employ- ment. In addition, there are around 200,000 workers in all phases of the industry who are permanently un- employed. At the hearing held in Detroit this month before the Auto Labor Board, the intolerable working con- ditions in the auto plants were brought out by workers. They tes- tified to the inhuman speed-up that grows worse from month to month. As an example a Ford worker told how formerly five men used to make 300 crankshaft jigs a day. Now three man make 500. Along with the accelerated speed-up, there has been a letdown in safety conditions, so that the auto plants have be- come veritable slaughter houses pil- ing up maimed and dead workers.

Every attempt to win better conditions and to organ- ize is met with terror and wholesale firing. With the exception of steel, there is no other industry so dom- inted by company unions into which the workers are herded with the ac- tive cooperation of government of- ficials, Tt is against this background that we must analyze the present rise in production. For the workers there are no prospects of more employ- ment or better conditions and high- er wages unless they organize and strike. It is partly because strike struggles loom in the auto industry that the manufacturers are speed- ing their schedules. They hope to repeat their tactics of last year of fooling the workers with govern- ment boards, and then, after their schedules are fulfilled, to fire the workers wholesale.
