NEW YORK CITY, Nov. I'm line
with it's raditionalypolicyo of ruthless
ly smashing all attempts of its under
paid and overworked porters to get a
fair and square deal, the Pullman
company yesterday summary dis
charged Ashley L.8Totten, chairman
of Local No. 5, Pullman Porters' Bene-
fit Association and grievance commit
tee member on the employe repre-
sentation plan (the company" union)
for INSTRUMENTATION"
Totten, a very militant, outspoken
and courageous man, had been a thorn
in the side of the czaristic company
officials because OF his espousal of the
cause of the men,. For many months
he had attemptedlto inject a modicum
of justice and democracy into the in
vestigations of porters accused of mis-
demeanors, real ndsimaginary.
These investigations are nothing
but star chamber proceedings with
the company always right and the ac-
cused parter always wrong, even
when, on occasion, he is restored to
duty. Totten aroused the anger of the
company officials by his insistence on
justice, and accordingly, they swore
to get" him.
He was in Chicago at the time OF
his discharge, having been recently
elected a delegate to the p. p. B. A.
convention. 1t was suspected that he
would raise the question of hours and
wages-a question always taboo at
these benefit" association meetings
so the company took steps to prevent
him from doing so. 1f
Totten had been in the Pullman
service six years and his record was
perfectly clear. He is the third man
to be discharged because of his de-

Mr. A. Philip Randolph. general or

Car Porters, who, with Roy Lancaster
is conducting a series Of member
ship meetings in Chicago, states that
indignation ran high among the por-
ters when the news of Totten's dis
charge was broadcasts He adds that
this action OF the company alone
brought over fifty men into the new
union inside of four hours.

SUB-DISTRICT 7
OF ILLINOIS IN
REACTIONS Grip
But Manage to Protest
on Saklatvala
BY ANDREW YOUNG
Especial TO The Daily Worker)

o'FALLON, ILL.,, Nov. 2.-The Sub
District No. convention Of District
II, U. NJ. w. of A., came to an end
without anything accomplished for the
rank and file.
All committees were appointed by
D. L. Thompson, president Of the sub
district. The resolution committee
brought in the following recommends
tons: THAT Frank Harrington and
Harry Fishwick be invited to come
before the convention to explain why
they made separate agreements in
violation of the Jacksonville agree
ment"
The recommendation was adopted.
A motion was then made to invite
Freeman Thompson and John ]. Watt
to address the convention. This caused
much uneasiness in the convention
hall. In the discussion on the motion,
vice-president Bill Jocks accused
Watt and Thompson OF running all
over the state destroying the union"
Not Afraid, But Just Scared.
He also said that he was not afraid
to meet Thmopson and Watt, but at
the same time he showed his reluct-
ance by not being willing to have
them come to address the convention.
Another delegate exclaimed that il
Watt and Thompson came to address
the convention that Harrington and
Fishwick would refuse to come.
After the assassination OF the char
acters Of Thompson and Watt, those
unfinching, militant fighters in the
interest Of the workers in the u. M.
w. Of A., the question was called for
and debate closed before the mover or
the seconder had the privilege Of the
floor Delegates were on their feet de-
handing the floor-and Bill Jocks was
in the chair-enuf said.
A resolution was adopted which
reads as follows:
SaklatvaIa Resolution.
Whereas, Secretary of State KEEL
logg has instructed the consul gem
eral to revoke the visa granted to
ohdpuiJA odhldlfd4d3 MEMBER OF the
English parliament representing the
organized labor movement of that
country, to visit the interparliament-
airy union at Washington; and
Whereas, Shapurji Saklatvala has
carried on a valiant struggle on be-
half Of the exploited masses against
English Imperialism in the Far East.
in China, Egypt, India and Ireland;
therefore be it
Resolved, That this Sub-District 7
of District II, in annual convention
held in Collinsville, Illinois, Oct. 20.
1925, vigorously protest the action Of
the secretary Of state in excluding
Shapurpi Saklatvala, as an act of un-
authorized and unjustifiabIe discrim-
nation against the foreign-born work
ers, and as high handed attempt TO
limit the freedom of speech in the
United States, and be it further
Resolved, That we demand the i'm
mediate admission of Saklatvala into
this country, and be it further
Resolved, That copies Of thsi reso-
luton be sent to the secretary Of state
at Washington, d. c., and to Senator
Borah and to the workers press for
publication"

Max w. Sthoer was in Germany not
long ago, where he attended the annu-
: al conference of the Kamingarnspin-
erei Sthoer and Co. of Leipsig and
the Eberfelder textile works of Eber-
field. These two companies are among
the largest textile mills of Germany
and have reputation for exploiting
the workers.
What did Mr.. Sthoer want at the
German textile congress?
The answer to the question is this:
The Passaic Botany mills, which are
under the presidency of Sthoer, have
invested four million dollars in the
aforementioned German mills. The
investment is on so per cent profit
sharing basis.
Forstman and Huffman Exploit
Germany.
Forstman and Huffman own large
textile mills in Passaic and Garfield.
The rumor was spread in the press
already, that Forstman and Huffman
will follow the example of the Botany
mills, and will also cut down the
wages.
No doubt this news did not come
to the press without the knowledge
of the company. This is how the COM
pany wants the workers to get used
to the idea of wage reductions. The
rumor was denied by the company, but
we know that the reason for not en-
forcing the wage reduction at present
is that they fear united action by the
workers if the wage reductions follow
each other~too frequently.
Now this Forstman and Huffman not
only exploit the Passaic and Garfield
knitters, but they exploit the German
knitters, too.
The Rheinland Werken Forstman
in April with the Kamingarnspinerei
of Augsburg, Germany's largest tex
tile works. The president of this cor
poration is Mr. julius Forstman.
United Exploitation. United Defense.
These two examples are enough to
enlighten the workers why the Com
munists are fighting for international
trade union unity.
Let us say that the workers of the
Botany and the workers of the Forst-
man works will start a fight against
their exploiters. Alone they can hard
ly break the compay, for in case of
. strike both companies will get the
bulk of their manufacture from their
German works.
The united fight of the equally ex-
plotted German and American textile
worker is required in order to wage
victorious battle against the world
wide power of capital.
Why do they cut the wages of the
knitters?
AT the same time when the Ameri-
can wage reductions are going on we
see similar reductions going on in
many European countries. 1t looks
as though plot on an international
scale is going on-we see everywhere
attacks to reduce the standard of liv-
ing Of the textile worker.
With this question we will deal in
detail in our next issue.

THRILL FOR
AUTO|ST
New Nash Built Product,
"Swaying Country"
Enters S. A..
BY ROSE HOROWITZ


Yes-sir-ee that long talked auto
mobile which is Swaying the country
is in the Alamo City. Say the Jack
Neal Nash company surely treats the
new favored guest royalty.
When other cities described this
car as "wonder automobile" mas
terpiecc Of 1926 auto ingenuity" the
writer thought that here was just an
other case of booming publicity. How
ever. as one of the first local riders,
she now realizes why the machine is
creating such sensation.
Driven by Griffin Vance, sales man.
ager, the car carried a party of five
and its performance was rigidly
tested.
Vance turned the key, stepped on
the gas, shifted the gears.
A REAL THRILL.
"Purr-purr." hummed the Ajax.
Driving at high speed, we sped over
bumpy roads and sandy drives and
lightly swept over stumps, dirt and
rocks. The Ajax rigidly held the road.
At one time, while turning q corner
along Alpine Drive at q fast clip,
my eternal femininity, despite the
utmost endeavor of appearing calm)
caused me to scream. However Mr..
Vance stopped the car in a "jiffy."
Really did not know that four wheel
brakes were so wonderful.
For light car of reasonable price,
the Ajax is Knockout" Without
any gear shifting. it whizzed up
Alpine Drive on high" at high speed
with the greatest of ease.
At thirty-five miles an hour, Mr..
Vance stepped on the brakes. That
Ajax stopped in hurry, too.
CAR is BEAUTIFUL.
Didn't hit the toy once even though
We went over plenty of mighty
bumpy spots. Never did we feel any
vibration. The rest of the riders COM
mendcd this point with unusual en-
thusiasm. OF course. being feminine
l am easily charmed by beauty, !
turned to the appearance Of the car.
Beautiful would hardly describe the
Ajax.
1t features real distinctiveness and
pretty lines-those real lone ones.
Similar to the Nash. Then it comes
equipped with balloon tires, disc

But then, nothing but seeing and
riding in the Ajax will really do it
justice.
Announcement is made by officials
of the Ajax Motors company, Racine,
Wis, Nash Motors subsidiary. that
the new Ajax will be formally in
troduced to the San Antonio public
next Friday, August Z. "Seldom in
the history of the industry has the
arrival of a new motor car been
awaited with the eagerness that char
acterizos local interest in the coming
of the Ajax. And if the record-brcak-
ing enthusiasm manifested in the
cities near the home factory where
it is now on exhibition is any criter-
ion then the Ajax unwilling here will
draw the greatest crowds that ever
flocked to sec a new car" states
