DUCO FOR HANDY HOME USES
REG. Y. S. eAT.oF.

"One of the greatest chemical
achievements in many years OF value
in the home is the perfection of
Duco, which can be brushed on
walls, floors, chairs, toys, porch
furniture or baby carriages" said
Haines & Kirk today in discussing
the recently announced development.
Home decorating will take on new
meaning this year for thousands OF
nome keepers.
"Duco finish for home uses dries
hard in remarkably short time and
can be applied successfully by any
one. Due to the careful control of
manufacturing and the chemically
pure products used the colors are
fast. The finish is far more durable
than either paint, varnish or enamel.
1t will withstand day in and day
out usage better than any other
product on the market because
articles finished in Duco are pro-
tected by film, which is smooth,
glossy, hard and tough. One of the
many remarkable things is that
brush marks do not show even when

Karl Marx on Fordism

ever greater amount of saleable material in the
same period OF time This type Of surplus value
Marx designates as RELATIVE surplus value.
This is the kind OF surplus value that has become
endeared to the hearts of Henry and some other
capitalists that use his methods, and that has
made them rich.
In the Ford auto plants, the extraction of rela
tive surplus value has become a science AS we
saw, the Ford economists explain their profits on
an altogether different ground. They speak in
a superficial way OF Henry getting rich because
he had the foresight and the Industrial science to
save on labor" and to introduce efficiency
methods" and install time saving machinery"
But boiled down, all these things mean that Ford
is getting exorbitantly rich by extracting the
maximum amount of RELATIVE SURPLUS
VALUE from his workers.
So how do you account for the much Wanted
eighthour day and six dollar minimum and five
day week? Upon this very fact of Fords ability
to arrange his production in such a way as to
intensity and increase the expenditure of labor
power to point where the very extraction of
relative surplus value in a large measure depends
upon his shortening the work day and paying his
men more wages.
Limit to Endurance.
TINE point is that there is a limit to human
endurance An employer can make big profit
when his workers are able to give their utmost to
production The well-known intensfcation and
systematization of production in the Ford plants
have been carried to the point where, taking all
his workers together, it would be physically i'm
possible for them to work more than eight hours.
He pays them six dollars day because, by his
getting such a large amount of relative surplus
value out of his workers, he can afford to pay
them little above the value of their labor power
so they will have more comforts, be stronger
physically and be able to work with greater in
tensity as a consequence.
Ford Benefits by 5-Day Week.
THE same thing applies to the ive-day week.
With two days week rest Ford's workers
come to the shops Monday morning fresh and
able The forty hours of intensive and monoton-
Gus labor that his plants require to keep them go
ing under his system make an eight-hour day and
a two-day rest an ADVANTAGE for Ford by enab-
ling his workers to keep up the pace and Ford to
extract the maximum of surplus value.

The left wing opposes arbitration in principle well

of the issues involved for securing the most material

this from England:
A certain John Dickinson, owner of

strike that in view OF the 'disloyalty'
displayed by certain of the trade un-
ions of which his workers were men,
bers, he, Dickinson, had decided not
to recognize the trade unions in the
future, but to form Union of the
House of Dickinson, instead. In the
manifesto which the owner of the
House of Dickinson presented to his

AmeCanizng Europe and CooTeizing America By n5

SLOWLY but surely the tide of bust
- ness activity is turning from
America toward Europe. The much
vaunted American standard OF produc-
ton, which was to safeguard the
American workers from the economic
ills of Europe-is beginning to feel
the strain of the world economic crisis
and of Europe's adoption of American
methods, under the benevolent tutel-
age of American capitalists.
The industrial workers or New
England, the cotton planters of the
south and the farmers of the
West are already feeling the heavy
weight of Coolidge prosperity" Euro
pean industry is being reorganized in
to gigantic cartels, on the American
plan, under the leadership of American
finance. The stream of cheap foreign
products has begun to flow to our
shores and it will soon turn TO a
mighty food under the magic touch
of the International bankers. The iso-
lation and security of the American
workers is being battered down. just
as surely as the walls of the feudal
lords were battered down by the can
mons of rising capitalist class.
Germany Adopts American Methods.
In this connection it is interesting
to note the comment of DR.. David Fri
day before the American Association
of Security Analysts in New York
The New York Times makes the fol
lowing report on the meeting:
IAN Industrial revolution, based up
on the widespread adoption of Amer
lean industrial and technical methods,
largely financed by American capital
has taken place within Germany in the
last eighteen months. This move has
proved so effective and profitable that
Germany is now paying reparations
with ease, is rapidly accommodating cap
ital and in recent months has begun
to report an excess of exports over
imports"
