The Joint Board issued instrue-

notify the Greek workers in their

able social-democratic agents of
capitalism are shrinking at nothing
to suppress the labor movement.
"The fascist terror, starvation and
the Vaccinations of the employers
failed to destroy the courage of the
LODI workers. Only the treachery
of the social-democrats could effect
that.
"But the fighting spirit of the
workers is unbroken as is proved
by their refusal to resume work
under the wage reduction and the
penalty system even after declaring
their readiness to return to work on
the new collective agreement condi-
tons.
However severe the defeat of the
LODI workers may be, it is neverthe-
less of vast Importance in exposing
the contradiction in the Polish stab
ilization based on the exploitation
Of the workers.
"The strike further unmasks So
cialism as the accomplice of fascism
and shows the immense latent revo-
lutionary spirit of the working
class"

POLL GUARDS NEEDED


of Communist watchers in election
polls in the Bronx, where large num-
bers of needle trades and other
workers live, and where the Com
munist vote is expected to be larger
than in any other county. There the
Red watchers will have to be very
alert, especially since paper ballots
will be used there.
Section conferences to organize
and instruct Red watchers will be
held very soon, according to the Dis
trict Campaign Committee. All
members must attend these confer
ences and take an active part in
guarding the Communist votes.

acute and so widespread as to
injure many dividends?
/ hardly think so. It IL per-
haps significant that the steel
industry stopped lowering prices
and began marking them up
moderately at a time when con-
sumption was running distinctly
below productive capacity. This
step was taken mainly because
few companies were finding IL
possible to earn reasonable re-
turns on their investments. In
the olden days. under similar con.
ditions, the normal course would
have been to carry on the price
battle and to force workers to
suffer by reducing their wages.
Happily, the lowering of wage
scales has become distinctly un.
fashionable as well as unpopular.
Auto Industry
True. the important automo.
bile industry began the year by
announcing many price reduc-'
tions, some OF them drastic.
But you doubtless noticed that
there were no corresponding re-
ductiona in wages at any point.
Nor has there been further cut
ting Of prices. Indeed, there is
moIa talk of possible price in
creaseg than further price reduc.
tons.
Judging by automobile share
movements, present dividend
rates are not jeopardized.
1t is to be hoped that compe-
tition in no line will be carried
so far as to endanger dividends

understandable. l
First, there has been o large
increase in 'the number of the

Second, narrower profit mar
