As speed-up in Ford plants ificreases faster and r every day, workers are being nd injured to such an ex- tent that the shop is beginning to take on the atmosphere of a battle ground of war Barly in January two worker were severely injured while working at one of the panel presses in the Press Steel Building. The direct cause was the terrific speed-up and the failure to regularly inspect and repait the presses. It is a common sight if Depart- ment No. 197 to see many men working with an arm in a sling or hopping around with a foot of leg in a heavy bandage. Sometimes you see them performing speedy opera- tions with a bandage over one eye. In one case a Negro worker got a piece of steel in one of his eyes. He went to the hospital. The dot- tor told him that the éye would have to be treated before the piece of steel could be taken out. A ban- dage was put over the eye and the Negro worker was sent back on his job without any recommendations. He had to operate a press which res a Very fast man with two speed-up and crowded conditions in the Ford plant is what happened at the press where the first opera- tion on the right front fender is performed. Workers and machines are jammed together like sardines in a can. Quite often sharp edged, jolly stock is piled up around them almost head-high. They have hardly space to walk around this press but still they are expected to work with the speed of lightning. A worker at this press recently dropped his tongs into the die. He Called to the worker who handles the lever to stop the press and he then reached with his hand to get the tongs. Before he could get his hand out, some one with a burst of |speed had bumped into the opera- | tor who then fell against the lever. workers’ hand was cut off at the wrist. Some time ago a four-inch bush- ing fell from the main elbow of the press which makes the first opera- tion on the top left hood. The worker escaped injury. The bush- ing was put back. A few days later it fell out again, but the workers | operating the machine did not no- ice it. Another worker saw it but did not know where it came from. Later sone one passing by noticed it and knew where it came from. | Then it was found out that the | press had been in operation at a high rate of speed for three hours with fhe bushing missing. The bushing Was put back but not very securély. This press is being op- erated right now With the bushing protruding out almost an inch, Sevéral weeks ago in this depart- ment a cfash was heard and then a big noise. Workers were seen running and jumpifg out of the way of sliding piles of oily, shafp- edged sheet metal. They were funning inte the paths of those feeding the présses with this sharp | edged stock. It was a miracle that |many of these workers were not | severely cut or that some operator {Was hot run into, forcing him jagainst the press with the danger jof having an arm amputated.

R.—This is written before the Second Congress of Kolkhoz Udarniks Farm Shock Workers) assembles. The same unique election system is being used that characterized the famous First Congress of Kolkhoz Udarniks. Election is by merit. Those selected are the best of the best, those who have given the most to the country by learning and be- ing willing to apply whole-heart- edly the new methods which the collective farm system makes pos- sible, work by brigades, use of trac- tors and other machinery, plowing of fallow land, more autumn sow- ing, weeding, struggle against losses of grain during harvest, and the fight for the improvement of live stock and increase in the numbers | of cattle and horses. New Methods, New Spirit The report of Molotov, Chairman of the Council of the Peoples Com- | missars, to the Seventh Congress of | Soviets, concluded just before the | Kolkhoz Congress assembles, indi- | cates the enormous successes of this | new technique. In spite of the bad drought Which also affected some districts in the Soviet Union, there was an actual increase in the grain yield in 1984 amounting to 54,300,000 | tons more than in 1933. Remem- |ber that the 1933 crop was the largest ever raised in Russia up to that time.

So, throughout the whole coun- | tryside of the Soviet Union, kolk- | hoz has been competing with kolk- | hoz for the right to send a delegate (to this congress, and within the kolkhozes one man or woman com- | petes with all the others for the \vight to be that delegate, A close jeheck-up is being made, and the | | Victors will be announced and rati- Bese at meetings of all the collec- tive farmers. Some of the contestants are al- | ready far in the lead. For example, the press reports about a certain |Novikov in the Voronezh district. | This man has won many contests lin the past. He became so famous as the best leader of a brigade in ‘his own collective farm that there was a special article in Pravda about him last year.

Then, there is another case which shows how the contest stimulates grain production in the whole com- munity, The Collective Farm “For Communism” is certain to have a delegate. But at a rerent meeting ‘The operation I perform requires | my handling a part that weighs| close to 65 pounds. I now turn out about 400 pieces a day. This means | that I must lift close to 13 tons on and off the machine every day. This means downright punishment for jany human being and still they keep | on asking us for more production. When we ask how they can expect more from us, the foreméen reply that there are lots more men on Miller Road who would be glad to |get a job for $5 a day. Only a few | years ago, men were getting $7 to |$8 a day doing these identical op- erations and not working nearly as hard, Ford does not waht to spend any | money to mprove conditions for the | workers who make his millions, but he can find plenty of money to help enslave the workers even more. I want to say that we Ford workers are not going to stand for this. We are organizing to fight for $6, for a Six hour day, and to put an end to this hellish speed-up system. |in the village soviet are repre- | sented several fatms that are not up to the average. The members of the colective farm “For Commu- nism” resolved: “We must make them catch up so that we will not be ashamed of our district when we go to Moscow,” and they sent some of the best shock workers of “For Communism” to the other kolk- hozes as teachers and good ex- amples. Some of the collective farms have done quite startling things in the course of the competition, though they are the same sort of things thet all are doing anyway, to a greater or lesser extent. In the |course of the checking up on the | Preparations for the spring sowing | campaign, on repairs of machinery and buildings, on care of cattle, | these being the main points of the | contest, the investigators found in | this same Voronezh region a col- (lective farm that has in addition built a “House of Culture,” for classés and recreation, has organ- ized a chorus, has music classes, has its own theatre, has built a public bath house, opened a barber shop and set up a buffet. In a congress of soviets recently held for the autonomous region of Khabardino-Balkaria, the territory of two small national minorities in |the Caucasus, the kolkhozniks se- riously debated the question: “What shall we fight for in 1935? We have already 54 pounds of grain for each collective farmer for each working day he put in, besides meat, butter, vegetables, fruits, honey, cheese, wool and money.

I | mean the “Stewart-Warner Worker” that is given out by some Commu- nists here. Most of the fellows praised the papér, some bum rapped it pretty hard, though, I must say. Most of us like it. The men that write it sure know their stuff. Some- times you’d wonder how they find all that out. They have put out one of the rottenest foremen, Davids; they have caused the com- pany to at least make an attempt at preventing accidents, They have published many wage and other | grievances and shown ways and means to improve our condition. When it comes down to brass tacks we have to admit that the com- pahy published the “Stewart-War- nerite” precisely because they were scared of the effect of the “Steiart- Warner Worker.” ties of the “Stewart-Warner Work- er” it has serious weaknesses, too, and I want to point them out to you. They had one where they said B | under two important articles, “Con- | tinued on page 6.” And when you'd turn to page 6 you'd find a blank staring at you, The printing is poor, too, it shoul be type print. But what is the most foolish thing for them to do, when they accomplish some thing in the plant they let some big shot or the company get away with the credit. The company makes somebody “accident supervisor” and he takes the credit for what these fellows have fought for in the “Stewart-Warner Worker.” The fellows have worked hatd and have achieved some unity and solidarity the workers here. Along comes Highton and claims that he and his “Stewart-Warnerite” have made us a “happy family.” It is not that I want to bum-rap your fellows. As a matter of fact I am with them, and I'd give a dozen company books for one “Stewart-Warner Worker.” But nevertheless, the weaknesses have to be pointed out. And they decided to concentrate on the care of cripples, old people and orphans! Two special rest homes for old kolkhozniks have al- ready been built in this repubiic, Thteughout the Ukraine and Caucasus the slogan has been raised for every village to have a mater- nity house, a special hospital for expectant mothers, a place where they can stay several weeks, amidst flowers, in rooms with white cur- tains and generally cheerful and hygienic surroundings. Of these maternity houses, 136 were already functioning before Jan. 1 of this year, and during 1935 1,080 will be opened in the Ukraine alone. Such village maternity hospitals are un- der the cate of the Peoples Com- missariat of Health of the Ukrain- ian Socialist Soviet Republic, in other republics under the corre- sponding health department. In the Khabardino-Balkarian dis- triets just mentioned the Novem+ ber Seventh celebration had as one of its slogans: “Care for Mothers and Children!” and one kolkhoz painted on its walls: “Hold Up Your Children as a Banner!” Achievements of Farmers Kolkhozniks are doing big things anyway, unusual things, which farmers never did before. In one village, Mischerina, near Moscow, a | recent survey showed that about a hundred farmers’ sons had become teachers, agricultural experts, doc- tors, or were chgaged in other learned professions. One man, Kos- jov, had become the head of a Ppolitodel in transport. A politedel is the group of especially gifted and trusted Communist Party members sent into any industty to bring | vigor, initiative, new energy and | better leadership to it. Another, Frolov, was head of a politedel in aerieulture.

Just two mohths ago they set their die shop into operation, after a prolonged period of inactivity, and hired approxi- mately 100 die makers. Friday, Feb. 8, a sweeping layoff had been or- dered, leaving only a skeleton group on the job. These men scarcely worked two months and were utterly stunned by the sudden action taken. In view of all the display publicity given the matter of stabilization in the lying capitalist press, those laid off (all seasoned die makers) felt as if a bomb shell exploded in their midst. During this brief period. the cotnpany insisted unon working seven days per week, issuing passes covering Saturdays and Sundays. Mf. Ogger, the foreman, had kept @ very close watch at all times and an atmosphere of fear had been maintained to obtain the highest speed-up. Ogger is regarded as a pusher, not a man of ability. Al- though the Hupp people never etn- ployed wotheh on punch press work before, ths year a battery of punch presses is being run by women, driving men out of their jobs, who spent years at the plant. Another significant feature of a decided change in the direction of a lower standard of living, which already is unbearable, is the abolition of the individual piece work plan. The company served notice that from now on, the vicious group or gang work plan shall be introduced, which will enable the company to pay anything it pleases as there is no definite way of checking up one’s | earnngs.

Article 4, page 5, section 1: “Every member shall pay into the Association the sum of 25 cents per month, sttth sum to be deducted from his pay envelope and remitted by the Company to the treasurer of this Association.” In addition to this the Company charges $2.40 ver month for com- pulsory life insurance, also deducted from the pay check. This is the manner in which the auto industry is being “stabilized.” The Huvp Motor Car Corporation occupied a prominent position among auto plants at one time. Today it is merely a shade of its former greatness. i A. Head Blocks Uion’s Growth By a Worker Correspondent BIRMINGHAM, Ala—Crawford, District Organizer of the Amalga- mated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers in Alabama, has called another mass meeting of steel workers to hear such rotten labor fakers as Bill Mitch, district presi- ficial. The steel workers are fed up with Crawford and his yellow fakery. The Blue Bagle Lodge, which is under his wing, has. lost almost its entire mémbership. This lodge, situated in the heart of the T. C. I. giant steel mills with steel workers swarming in all directions, has done nothing to better the conditions of the workers. The steel workers have grown ‘tired of hearing Craw- ford’s speech, which he has repeated almost word for word since the workers cai remember. Nothing was ever done in the union. The Communist Party is haying a struggle to get the workers to join the union because of the general disgust with the leaders. When a militant worker was invited by rank and file members to speak, Crawford always refused the speaker on the floor, When a militant member told Crawford what was wrong with the union, Crawford asked him not to come back. The steel workers are getting miserable conditions in the mills and groups are forming that intend to go into the union and oust Crawford and his cronies. The rank and file coal miners are anxi- ous to have the steel workers or- ganized because the sentiment in the air now points to a giant strike of ore, coal and steel in the near future, come an engineer at Kuznetsk, coal and iron center. Kostilov, another village boy, had become prosecuting attorney for a whole district. Two were commanders in the Red Army and one a political instructor in the Red Army. At various times similar surveys of other Villages have been made and published, always with such results as given for Mischer- ina. In the Museum of Fine Art in Moscow there has just been opened an exhibition of 700 pictures selected out of 3,000 submitted in a competition for collective farm- ers who have learned to paint or draw. The contest was organized by the Central House of Self Activ- ity Art. Farmers from all parts of the country, including minority na- tionalities like the Karelian (Finn tribes in the northwest) and the Chuvashian (a Mongolian people) competed. “Art Belongs to the People” The newspaper “Workers Mos- cow” opens its comment on this exhibition by a quotation from Lenin: “Art belongs to the people. It must strike deep roots in them and awaken artists in them.” The paper goes on to point out that already a rich vein of artistic ability has appeared—among farm- ers. The art is not finished, be- cause teo few years have gone by and there has not been enough in- struction yet, but it shows versa- tility. Especially noteworthy pic- tures are those of a market, ¢ pond and a mill by a 17-year-old farmer boy. A painter from the Far North brings a picture of a native medi- cine man, a “Shaman.” A con- tributing cartoonist, Aristov, from a farm in the Kuibyshev (formerly Samara, on the Volta) states: “For me, the best school was the naws- dent of the U.M.W.A. and Walter | | Jones, Negro U.M.W.A. district of- | veady to do something about the | paper of the politodel in our dis- | |One-Week Limit. In Open Hearth By a Steel Worker Correspondent GARY, Ind.—Speed-up is the or- der of the day here at the Illinois Steel Company mill. Take the case of Tom Kane, la- bor foreman on the No. 5 Open Hearth. This fellow happens to be some kind of relative to W. P. Glea- | son, General Superintendent of the Gary works, and therefor has all sorts of pull with the higher offi- eials, No worker can last with him more than a week on thé job. For some teason or other he always turns the workers in to the bosses, blaming them for being slow. What is the meaning of this changing the workers so often? By doing this, he thinks he get more work out of us. By getting new men all the time on that particular job, he feels that he can speed them up more. The reason why he can get away with this is because we are not or- ganized in each and every depart- ment. We have the A.A. here in Gary, but it isn’t strong enough yet to fight the bosses, Whenever anything goes wrong because of the speed-up, they put the blame on the little fellow. In the yards of the Gary steel works, the engines are limited to eight miles an hour or 12 at the most, If you obey these rues, you are too slow for the open hearth boss. If |you don’t obey them, the yard bosses give you hell for disregard- ing safety rules. You know as well as I do that there is no such things as safety in the Gary mill. I don’t care who preaches it; the only rule the Gary bosses know is speed-up and more Speed-up. If you can’t keep up with the pace, it’s the scrap pile for you. ee Second Congress of Collective Farm Shock Brigaders By Vern Smith The exhibition was opened by Peoples Commissar of Education Bubnov, who indicated that plans would be made to bring the best of these farmer artists to Moscow for education in the Academy of Art, and that older painters would be persuaded to go to country districts Where several young artists are working to give them some help. One dramatic feature was the as- cent of Mount Elbruss, one of the two highest and most inaces- sible peaks of the Caucasus, by a group of farmer sportsmen from the Krasny Elbruss Collective Farm in Khabardino-Balkaria. There were ten in the group, and they did it “in honor of the Second Congress of Kolkhozniks.” So, you see, the congress is at- tracting country-wide attention. What will it do when it meets? Its problems will not be the same as those of the historic First Con- gress. It is safe to say that the famous slogan issued by Stalin to the First Congress: “To make all kolkhoz¢s Bolshevik and to make all kolkhozniks well to do,” will be re- peated, but the reports will be on the extent to which it has been ap- plied, on the progress made in various parts of the country. The kolkhozniks have firmly planted their feet on the path pointed out by Stalin. The second congress will take up new tasks and develop new forms. Tt will revise the standard collec- tive farm constitution, in the light of the last two years’ experience and in view of the progress already made. It will take up the im- portant problem of still further in- creasing the herds of cattle. - Ii | will evolve new ways of speeding the spring sowing, of rushing through the harvest ard saving grain from spoiling, and still further technical trict.” improvements in agriculture, worth five cents per hour, he is YOUR HEALTH Medieal Advisory Beard Muscular Development a WILL show you how you «ay become a He-man in exactly seven days.” So run the advertise- ments of the professional muscle builders.

Cases of Pregnancy have been known to ot- cur following such an operation, However, such cases are rare. A better method is one in which & part of the tubes is removed. In some cases where only a temporary sterilization is desired, such as, in serious chronic diseases—the tubes are tucked in under the lining mem- brances in such @ way that they can be released by a second opera- tion, if necessary. We, however, never advise such ® procedure; first, because it re- quires two operations with the at- tendant risks; and, second, because we have harmless and effective con- traceptive methods which are easily learned by most women. Operations on the tubes do not affect the body or the sexual re- lations in any way, because they do not interfere with the ovaries. gas TS Hay Fever peoe your letter it appears that you have not yet had skin tests to find out what causes your hay fever. You must be sensitive to some substance, probably a plant pollen, which causes your yearly attacks. Skin tests will show which substance causés the hay fever. When this is known, a course of injections can be given before the hay fever season, which frequently (although not always) give a great deal Of relief. You can probably have this work done at a clinic connected with a medical school in Chicago. If you have not yet tried this method, you should go to one of these clinics now so that when the season comes around you already Will have had the injections. If you need the adrenalin chloride injections, you can be taught to give them to yourself, just as diabetics give theniselves insulin in- Jections. This must be done very carefully, the needle and syringe boiled, ete, and therefore, before you attempt to do it yourself, a nurse or a doctor should teach you the whole technque thoroughly. Usually 0.5 cuble centimeters (7 or 8 minims) of the 1 to 1,000 solu- tion is sufficient, but the dose can be raised to one cubic centimeter (15 minims), This solution comes in little glass amvules. Instead of spraying your nose with adrenalin, try using a solution of ephedrine chloride in water. This usually has ® more lasting effect.
