FORD WORKER
TELLS MATES
HOW TO WORK
Only a Nucleus Can Beat
Flivver King
worker cOrrespondent.)

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Oct. 22--
have read an account in The DAILY
WORKER of a shop nucleus in action
in the Ford Detroit plant. AS l am
working in the Kearney plant, can
appreciate the difficulties experienced
by a small number OF comrades at
tempting to function.
What surprises me is that they have
not been ferreted out on account of
the large distribution of DAILY
WORKERS. Every Ford plant has
private police system of guards, which
report all occurrences out of the or
binary, uses provocative methods and
certain susceptible individuals as
stool pigeons.
They are very careful in getting
worker just right as an account is
sent to Detroit regarding every dis
charge. Petty officials are kept just
as shaky regarding their jobs as the
ordinary worker This is a deliber-
ate policy on the part of the com
pany to keep every one on tip toe do
ing their best" and more then their
best with the threatening whip OF dis
charge swapping all the time.
have noticed during the war and
after the armistice there was a GER
tain independent spirit amongst the
men in the department Of the final
assembly, who would not stand for
abuse or too much overtime.
This, remarkable to say, was toll
Grated by the company and the best
results were obtained by men who
performed important operations which
were key positions on the conveyor
along which the cars were assembled.
These men would act together and
in this way controlled production. The
foreman and the superintendent were
afraid to discharge them for fear of
falling down on the production de-
manded by home Office at Detroit.
Ford Efficiency"
But when the labor market was be-
ing oversupplied by returned soldiers,
they sent an efficiency man" from
Detroit, who went thru every depart
ment and discharged twenty and
thirty men at clip.
Taking this as a cue. suggest that
members and sympathizers should
work themselves into key positions
which can be done as those jobs are
generally hard and taxing and are
not desirable, but this can be over
come by acquiring skill. AS the fore
man will, when he finds a worker
not pliable or undesirable, attempt to
replace him with another. Don't teach
anyone but comrades tricks of the
| trade.
The nucleus is the only way TO Sc
cure some power and control in the
Ford organization.

CHICAGO POSTAL
CLERKS DRIVEN
like PRISONERS
Government Gives No
Cause for Patriotism
BY CARL HAEssLER,
Federated Press Serviee.)

Conditions in the prison shirt and
pants shops exposed by Kate Richards
O'Hare can be little worse in some
respects than those prevailing in the
mailing division of the Chicago post
office. Other large cities are probably
equal offenders, under the pressure
of President Coolidge's economy adj
ministration.
Postal clerks speeded up beyond
endurance in vile rooms under intol-
cradle discipline may sometimes envy
prisoners who at least cannot be dis
missed when they fail to satisfy their
exacting task masters.
Keep Tab on Toilet.
The Chicago mailing division,
where all of Chicago's outgoing mail
and son4e inbound mail is handled, APP
proaches the old Prussian military Sc
verify in it's discipline over the clerks
working there No clerk may leave
his post even for a minute or two for
any reason without special permits
sion. An accurate detailed record is
kept of the number of times he asks
leave to go to the toilet or elsewhere.
After two months in the service
clerks are regularly told, regardless
of their output that they are not
working efficiently enough. They are
threatened with removal if they do
not speed up in 60 days.
A host of efficiency experts, tabula-
tors, inspectors, statisticians and fore
men are logging their heels, giving
drastic dement's for any errors and
sometimes depriving them in this way
of their statutory 800 a year raise.
Shoppers Invade Homes.
The overcrowding of the large corps
of workers into badly ventilated
room with insufficient air space fore
es the sickness rate high above nor
NAL. Heavy dirty mailbags are hurl-
ed into the room, raising thick chok-
ing dust Because of the many men
and women suffering in consequence
from colds and throat troubles the
postofficeA maintains another small
army of inspectors to visit homes and
make sure that the sick leaves are not
fraudulent.
AS usual, the postofice instead of
removing the cause of the trouble,
piles on more inspectors to cope with
the results. Negroes and Filipinos,
Disseminated against in other employ
ments, will soon begin to outnumber
the whites who cannot stand the
strain in the mailing division and are
dissatisfied with the low pay.

the members from the social demo
cracy and endeavored to influence
the working class in a revolutionary
direction. At that time ! was, as a
matter of fact, in Moscow; this may
have happened just about April"
The official Oraiujsag eight
O'clock News) describes the cross
examination as follows:
"Rakosis Imprisonment seemed to
have pulled him down considerably.
His eyes were sunken and his face
was pale when he entered the room of
the deputy police president.
When Rakosi was asked with whom
he had frequented when in Vienna,
and who of these people were at
present in the hands of the Budapest
police, Rakosi did not reply at once,
but declared after shortly considering
the matter; Pardon me, but can
not remember anything more, but
even if l could remember anything,
should not be prepared to betray my
comrades to the police. :"
1t was in vain that the deputy
president addressed further questions
TO the former peoples commissar re-
garding the names of those Com
munists with whom he was connected;
Rakosi firmly stood by his refusal to
give information and did not recognize
anybody with whom he was confront
ed. Finally, when he was weary of the
long cross-examination, he declared in
somewhat irritated tone:
you can keep questioning me as
long as you like. can only say that
| was quite clear regarding everything
when l declared my readiness to
carry out my mission. l also know
that the Hungarian authorities will
condemn me according to martial
law, and that perhaps / shall not even
escape the death penalty. But under
no circumstances will l deliver my
friends to any police in the world. q.
You sit now, gentlemen, and enjoy
yourselves as if you were in a box
at the theater, because you have in
your hands a peoples commissar of
the Soviet republic, but | repeat, you
are making a tremendous mistake if
you believe that l will make any de-
clarations to you which could facilitate
the examination. You can do what
you like with me: you can even hang
me, gentlemen, but you will not get
me to say anything"
This emphatic declaration of Rakosi
was disregarded by the police officers
and they asked him other questions.
They wanted especially to get out of
him what was the actual object Of his
journey to Budapest.
"The propagation of Bolshevist ideas
and to set going the work of organiza-
ton" replied the former peoples
commissar, "the work of organizing
and of recruiting took ON myself"

our cause and IEhave devoted my
whole life to the service Of this cause.
Nothing interests me which is not
connected with this cause"
This answer Of Rakosi surprised
even the deputy police president. 1t
had to be admitted that he had not
spoken out of lack of human feeling,
but out Of fanatical love for his
lifes aim, which completely dominat-
ed his mind and thoughts.
after all that has passed were you
not afraid of returning to Hungary"
asked Hetenyi. "To mention nothing
else you must have realised that
there would be a warrant for your
arrest on the charge of various serious
crimes, ranging from high treason and
murder to interference with personal
freedom?"
Rakosi replied calmly and resign.

After these declarations of Rakosi
the court proceeded to deal with the
actual matters in question. Rakosi
declared that he was not prepared to
submit any confession. He also refus-
ed all information. At the most he
was only prepared to make some re-
marks regarding the evidence collect
ed up to now by the police, if it was
submitted to him.
When it came to questions as to
the principles of Communism, Rakosi
was quite willing to answer. in fact
it even came to a social-political de.
bate between him and the police
officer. AS he said, he was prepared
to place his ideas in the necessary
light. He declared as follows wv

care that these lists came into the

self to an extent unexampled even in
Hungary? Why did the Horthy social
democrats, even at the risk of ex-
posing themselves in the eyes of the
very small upper section of the labor
aristocracy carry out shameful and
criminal denunciations?
The situation in Hungary has
brought about a crisis such as has
never been experienced before in the
economic life Of the country. Unem-
ployment, the misery of the masses,
discomfort and desperation are grow
ing from day to day. Neither the
social democratic party leaders nor
the trade union bureaucracy consider
it necessary even to pretend to do
anything in the interest of the work
ing class. They declared quite openly
that the present time is not suitable
for even the smallest struggles. The
trade union bureaucracy supported
strike breakers against the fighting
workers, and, in spite Of the enormous
profits of the employers, have ac-
guessed in wages being reduced
month by month. The discomfort of
the working class against the lackeys
of the bourgeoisie increased. Hun
dreds and hundreds tore up their
party membership cards and thous-
ands withdrew from the trade unions,
in spite of the efforts of the revolu-
tionary trade union opposition to
prevent this.
There was a movement going on in
Hungary which was bound to cause
the creatures of Horthy to fear that
the ground would give way under
their feet. They also realized that
this movement would obtain a lead
from the growing Communist Party
of Hungary, which is providing the
movement with proper aims and CIV
ing it a definite direction.

gress of the Tailors' Union adopted

congress of the II International the
Budapest Shoemakers' organization
held a meeting which was attended by
1000 members, and which in a most
impressive manner demonstrated in
favor of revolutionary trade union
unity. The meeting expressed Its
disapproval Of the counter-revolution-
airy attitude of the trade union coun-
Gil, and instructed the delegates of
the Leather Workers Union to vote

leather workers in Paris for the
