tramp across the desert. the evangel-
ist told how. while fleeing from her
captors. she used part of her clothing
as protection from the sun. She said
her clothing and shoes showed no
signs of wear because she avoided
cactus and other desert vegetation.

Auto Cars Split Melon
That Puts $6OO,OOO,OOO
More Into Their Pockets
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHI.

ONE of the most luscious Of fruits

larly enjoyable at this season Of the
year. But you can't sink your

The days news announces that
the great flnanciers directing Gen
eral Motors, known in the New York
financial district as "the Steel Corp
grafton of the automobile group"
have decided to cut "melon!"
This 'pelon," however, does not
belong to the vegetable kingdom.
1t consists of S6OO,O0O,OOO in wealth
stolen from the automobile slaves

At many state and county fairs,
the fruit raisers are coming forward
with their prize melons raised in the

all precedent in financial history,
was nurtured and grown to full size,
fed by the sweat, the blood and the
agony of hundreds of thousands of
workers who toll to produce the
Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmo.
bile and Oakland automobiles.
The "melon" was cut for the para
site stockholders, not for the wage
workers. No announcement has
been made of any proposed wage in
creases. This is something for the
automobile workers to ponder over.
General Motors, like the United
States Steel Corporation, is the prod
uct of the flnanceering of the House
of Morgan, noted for it's infamous
anti-labor policies and the Inaugural

The Du Pont interests, powder
manufacturers, that became enor-
mously wealthy as the result Of war
profits, from 1914 to 1918, are among
the largest holders Of stock in Gen

These are the great banking and
industrial powers that the workers
in the automobile industry will have
to fight in order to win a little
more for themselves out of the
wealth produced in the auto plants,
until the time when they will take
over the management of this and
all other industries.
The General Motors stock could
not advance single point if private
ownership in the auto industry dM
not enable this great corporation to
develop it's exploitation of the work
ers. How successful that exploita-
tion has been is shown by the me-
teorie rise Of the value of General
Motors stock during the last few
years. In Dec. of 1923 this stock was
selling at SIS per share. AS re-
suit of the recent spectacular in

were not fighting the government
when the government was using its
army, navy, movies and radio to break
the strike"
H. M. Wicks Of The DAILY
WORKER said that the miners strug-
gle in Great Britain is an old one,
the miners having been betrayed many
times in the past.
Scores TIIIett's Union.
Pat Quinlin Of the socialist party, in
referring to the British labor delega-
tion now in this country. pointed out
that Ben Tillett, member of the
delegation, is president of the Dockers'
Union, which is now unloading scab
coal from Germany, Belgium and
America.
