FURTHER DELAY
OF The A,F.OFL.
AUTO CAMP AICN
Jurisdictional Clash Pre-
vents Action

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-CFP)-
Further months Of delay Of the organ
izing campaign promised by the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor for the au-
tomobile industry is now seen by the
offcials in direct touch with the job.
This delay is based primarily on the
Jurisdiction issue.
More Talk.
When the Detroit convention last
October called for an organization
campaign it asked the international
unions in the metal and wood indus
tries to yield jurisdictional claims in
this field. A conference of executives
Of the international unions, held in
Washington in November, decided
that the executive council must first
make formal requests upon the ex-
ecutive boards Of these organizations.
That step is to be discussed and
probably will be taken by the execu-
tive council at its January meeting in
st. Petersburg, Fla. Then the execu-
tive boards Of the various unions must
be given time to deal with the re-
quest.
Next ApriI-Maybe.
Assuming that all replies are re-
ceived before the A. F. of L. execu-
tive council meets again in April, the
council will at that time determine
whether the replies are nearly enough
unanimous and are sufficiently den-
mite in favor of temporary Industrial
organization Of automobile workers
to Justify a serious attempt to enlist
union members in Detroit and other
motor factory centers.
A small organizing force is being
kept IN Detroit by the Init. Assn. OF
Machinists. It's achievements have
been relatively small, because 1t Is
almost impossible to unionize any one
group of workers in the mass-produc-
ton plants.

of life for the thousands of Harvester
workers. Instead, these improve
ments should mean an easing up in
the work, more wages and less hours.
Increased and cheaper production
means hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars more profit each year for the
company. Why should not the work
ers, who produce all, share in the in
crease of profits?
Organization Of Workers Necessary.
But the Harvester Corporation is
the blood brother to the Ford system
Of exploitation, to the Gary Steel Cor
poration, and SO on. These leeches
and parasites upon the mass OF work
ers give nothing UP unless the work
iers compel them to. The Harvester
Worker has pointed out before that
we workers will get nothing unless
we fight for more wages, no speeding
up and better conditions of work. The
Company Council or so-called union is
tool of the bosses. Still, we must
N1ldL J4lC oO7CeN4ACu WI hCAS
Representatives shall put forward m
the council the demands of the work
ers which we have printed in another
column. This fake Council Of EN-
ployers and Workers will be shown
to be only company outfit. 1t is
necessary that the workers in all the
Harvester plants and shops shall be-
gin to voice their grievances every
where; shall send in their stories and
complaints to us that we may show
what the workers are really think
ing. 1t is time to begin considering
the formation of workers shop COM
mittees without any boss interference
or connection-and to lay the ground
for an organized struggle for our de-
mands.
The speed-up system, the constant
lowering of wages, the boasts of un-
precedented profits by the company,
these and other facts demand from us,
the Harvester Workers. resistance
against the extreme exploitation. Let
us prepare!

from foundry to warehouse"
The Harvester World points out
that: Smoothly and effectively, step
by step, the plant organization is TAX
ing UP new motions, new routdngs
and new ideas of uninterrupted manu-
facture and transatlng them into new
standards Of production per hour or
per day and new standards Of quail
ity." (Our emphasis.)
These quotations from the company
organ and from the vice-president of
the International Harvester Company
are themselves convincing evidence
and proof of what The Harvester
Worker has declared all the while to
the workers. Work is speeded up ter
rifcaLly; profits increase enormously.
But wages are lowered steadily. The
workers are ground more and more
INTO a miserable state.
New standards of production per
hour or per day" is just scientific or
polite language for lower piece rate
or hour wages. Another polite name
for this wage-cutting and speed 'ng UP
Of the workers ds "the development OF
quantity production and low-unit
COSTS" So the speed-up system, with
wage cuts and lower standards OF
living for the mass of workers now
becomes the rule all thru the McCor-
micks' works-in the tractor and
truck plants and in the tool or i'm,
plement factories.
These improvements mean of
course greater profits and dividends
for the Mccormick family and the
few other large stockholders. But for
us, the Harvester slaves, it means
that the company is going to suck
the last drop of blood and energy out
of us. 1t means that soon hundreds
more will be thrown ON the scrap
heap as unemployed workers. Or,
perhaps, the company will be good to
us and say, that if you will quietly
and nicely accept another wage cut,
we will let you work a little longer.
These improvements in production
are used to make worse the conditions

Another longshoreman was badly
