Karl Marx on Fordism

In this case, for example, Marx was more In
terested IN determining the process of making
bigger profits by working your men eight hours
day and paying them six dollars for IT, than in
the fact that big profits resuted-the chief inter
est for Henry,
Wen, let us begin. When the Ford worker lets
Henry use his labor as we prefer to call it,
labor power, he gets six dollars in return for
eight hours work. 1t is plain as the nose on
your face that Henry has purchased something
when he spends six dollars And It is as equally
plain that the worker has sold something
What Are Commodities?
THINGS that satisfy human demand or want
and are bought and sold are called commodi
ties Well that makes the labor power that the
worker sold to Ford commodity doesn't it,?
Henry Ford and William Green would be the last
persons to agree with this definition 1t is very
vulgar way Of expressing it. But is so obvious
that the vulgarity has to be excused Labor
power is a commodity as surely as tin lizzies
Why Six Day?
NOW why is 1t that Henry pays SIX DOLLARS
l for the use of it? Why doesn't he pay two
dollars fifty? There must be come basis upon
which this is calculated. What could be more
logical than to assume that the basis for such
calculation would be how much the worker needs
to live on and to keep his family going? Let us
assume that the minimum upon which a person
can get along according to the standard of living
in the United States is four dollars. The facts
are that Judge Gary pays his men in the steel
plants as low three dollars, other employers
pay four and Ford pays six. From this it is very
easy to see that the daily wage is fixed upon the
basis of what the worker requires to get along on
from day to day and keep on working
We saw that labor power was plainly COM
modify, it satisfies demand and is exchanged
on the market Now, what is common to all COM
modities? Upon what basis are they exchanged?
Well all commodities useful That is COM
mon to them all. But are they exchanged on
this basis? Let us say Ford decided to exchange
ten Ford automobiles for a pin point of radium
to be used in his hospital. Wouldn't It require a
round table of philosophers to decide upon the
relative usefulness of the two? There must be
something else common to commodities that de-
termine the basis upon which they are exchanged
1t is plain They have all been made by labor
Upon all things that are bought and sold labor
power is expended. So that labor power is the
thing common to all commodities

tried to create the impression that
Walsh was reluctant to accept the
nomination. This is. a time-worn trick

whelming pressure OF the nlasses(?).
He accepted the nomination.

entire picture changed. With a few
swift, decisive strokes the accepted
Butler victory was turned into an igno-
minious defeat.

FOR the workers of Massachusetts
= the election marks a turning point
from the recent period of unemploy-
ment, wage cuts and speed-ups to
period of more intense and ruthless
attack upon the workers. Walsh and
the democrats. in whom many work
ers have blindly placed their trust,
will be the willing tools of the banking
interests to lower the present tariff
walls, and to seek to reduce the stand
ards of the workers of Massachusetts,
to the starvation level Of Germany.
Better experience will teach them the
lesson which the campaign has failed
to do-organize a strong trade union,
movement-international trade union
unity against the international unity
of the bankers-a labor party of the
workers against the parties of CAPT
