How Henry Ford is using his eco

further the capitahstic propaganda OF
his 100 per cent-American" sheet,

force the workers to support and
read the paper is revealed by a sub

Quoted.
Must Get Subs.
Each employee of the Ford Motor
company is being coerced into secur-
ing two subscriptions for the paper,
which means that they must buy
them themselves in most instances.
The managers, superintendent,
and foremen of the various plants are
conducting the subscription drive"
and are using their positions in the
factories to force the workers to get
the subscriptions.
A Sample Letter.
The following is copy of a letter
that has been sent to each employee,
and which speaks for itself:
TO ALL EMPLOYEES:
addressed a notice to you a few
weeks ago with reference TO the cam
paign now being conducted by the
Ford Motor company for new sub
scriptions to Mr. Ford's paper, Tho

Our quota for this campaign is over
six hundred 5000 subscriptions and
up to the present time we have only

and made PERSONAL appeal to US to

subscriptions from each one of you
during the coming week. Don't for.
get that each time you turn in a sub
scription you are eligible to a chance
on a new Ford car. So far, two of
these new Ford sedans have been won

INJUNCTION is

Especial to The Daily Worker)

NEW YORK, NOV. 30.-A temporary
Injunction prohibiting unlawful pick
citing" was granted the United Cloak
and Suit Designers Mutual Aid asso-
citation against the international
Ladies' Garment Workers union.
The association claimed that the at
tempt to organize the designers is in
violation Of the ruling of Gov. Smiths
commission, that the designers were
artists, and as such should not be
compelled to join the union.
Martin Issues Order.
The injunction was granted by
Judge Martin, of the appellate divis-
ion of the Supreme Court. In grant
ing it, he censured the police for not
taking more vigorous steps in con-
nection with the strike.
"Altho complaint is made against
the Issuance of injunctions in these
cases." he said, sit would be most un-
fortunate for the public as well as
those who are the object of the vio-
lence and other abuses described, If
the courts should refuse immediate
relief especially in view of the fact
that it appears from this record that
those charged with the administration
of the criminal law at times have not
been as active or vigilant as the con-
ditions would have warranted"
