CONDITIONS IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY
Increasing Profits

industry has been hit by an epidemic
of wage cuts.
Scheme of Wage Cutting.
Wage cuts are not delivered at one
stroke throughout the industry, but
are made piecemeal, plant by plant
and department by department. Thus
the resentment of large groups of
workers is not aroused simultane-
ously.
1t is, therefore, no surprise that
the workers in the automobile in
dustry are gradually beginning to
react. The most appropriate term
for which should be department
walkouts" ACQUIRING quite often in
the various plants in the automobile
industry.
Recently about 200 men on three
assembly lines on Oakland, Pontiac
Plant walked off the job when the
company failed to keep it's promise
of giving a raise of cents an hour
and bonus.
There have been walkouts in the
Buick plant of Flint, Michigan, in
the Nash automobile works in Ken
osha and the strike of the oil sanders
in Flint, Mich.
In the next article we will deal
with the cause of the strike in the
oil centers of Flint, Mich. and also
the lessons to be derived from the
strike.

DISCUSS NEGRO
At WORLD Meet
Imperialism Is Main
Theme at Congress

Continued from Page One
this kind, he said, occurred in recent
years with the support of the work
ers and peasants. The workers must
strive TO secure a hegemony with
the peasants in these revolutions.
Determination False.
Martinov declared that the de-
colonization theory was false. The
capital export from the imperialist
netherlands to the colonies, he said,
was aimed at exploiting the raw
stuff sources and not at developing
native industry. The essential fac
tor in the imperialist colonial pol
icy, he continued, was not predatory
exploitation of cheap colonial labor
power, but undermining the basis
for the development of native in
dustry. The bourgeois democratic
revolutions, he concluded, must be
regarded as revolutionary factors.
Thirty-fifth Session.
At the thirty-fifth session in tbe
afternoon the following spoke: Alb
erderame, Algeria; Vassilyev, of the
Soviet Union; Germanetto, for the
Red International of Labor Unions: :
Cox, of Britain; Lu Hai-cho, of
China; Martinez, of Venezuela: Mus
taphe, of Tunis; Ibarola, of Para
quay.
Colonial Parties.
Vassilyev declared that the chief
attention of the Communist Interna-
tlonal must be directed towards
China, India, Egypt and Latin
America. The chief task, he said,
was to strengthen the existing Com
munist Parties, of forming new ones
where necessary. The weakness of
the Communist Parties in some colo
MES leads to the tendencies to form
mass workers and peasants parties
outside of the Communist Party.
Clarity must be created in the colo
MES concerning the role of the Com
munist Party, he said. No Com
munist Party exists in India, he con-
tinued, but four workers and pea
SAINTS parties do exist which are de-
veloping into a united party. The
Communists work in these parties.
he said, but have no fraction. The
chief task in India, therefore, is to
form Communist Party from the
various Communist groups and to
form fractions in all workers and
peasants organizations. The chief
task in Egypt, Vassilyev continued,
is to strengthen the Communist
Party, to organize fractions in the
trade unions and other mass organ
lzatlons, to expose the Wafd
and win the peasants and workers
away from the Wafd. The
ground for Communism in Latin
America is good, he said, and there
fore we must not form workers and
peasants parties, but Communist
Parties, or strengthen the existing
parties. (Applause.)
Cox declared that the idea of the
theses that India is only agricul-
tural and dependent of Britain was
false. Imperialism, he said, does
not retard industrial development in
the colonies, but controls this de-
ve'onment. The question of the

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. % (UP).
Five persons, four of them men,

came in contact with a power line
blown to the ground during a heavy
wind and rain storm.
Screams of Richard Miller, the
first to touch the wire, brought his
wife and son, Eugene, both of whom
died while attempting to free him.
A second son, Wesley, and neigh
Dor, Carl Weeks, were killed while

masses. The Snakta trial, Brodsky
said, is vivid illustration of this.
Speaking of England, France and
Germany, Brodsky said that the
workers there are dominated by
poverty and despair. "In England,
unemployment, poverty and prosti-
tuition are growing daily, and the
same thing is true of the other coun-
tries in Europe"

Only Soviet Russia alone, Brod-
sky said, is free from this depres-
sion. 'There the workers, in con-
troll of their economic and political
life, are energetic, active, alert, en-

is but the first of the nations of the
world where the workers will come
into their own"

Must Expose Reformists,
Martinez declared that the grow
ing activity of the workers move
ment in Latin-America produced IN
creasing aggressiveness of Ameri-
can imperialism. United States re-
formism is also striving to penetrate
into the Latin-American workers
movement, he said, and the Latin
American bourgeoisie is inclined to
make an agreement with the i'm
perialists. The reformists, he con-
tinued, are striving to win the move
ment with the help of the Pan
American Federation of Labor. The
Communist Parties must expose
their own bourgeois reforrnists and
United States imperialists, he con-
cluded

spoke: Alinin, of Indonesia; Loes-
rey, of France; Narayan, of India;
Griffin, of New Zealand; Jones, of
the United States; Contreras, of
Mexico; Pepper, of the United
States, and Nala, of Uruguay.
Organize Negro Workers.
Jones declared that the revolu-
tionary activity of the Negroes was
not strong enough because too little
attention was paid TO the Negro
question. However, the American
ComRunist Party, he said, approves
the Hogan of self determination of
the Negroes to form Negro repub-
lie. The most important thing, he
continued, is the organization of the
Negro workers for the Revolution.

Greater Movie Season." is the attempt of the
moving picture producers to show the efforts being
made to improve their industry. There is constant
striving for betterment, and though the layman is
often inclined to criticize, the whole the improve
ment is easily noticeable. One has only to compare
the films of today with those of decade ago to
how great the improvement has been, least from
technical standpoint
Every producer will admit that there is still room
for improvement in this branch and greater i'm
provement needed in the stories produced on the
screen. In comparison with the total of films produc

Improvement must be made.

HOPE FOR A CHANGE

Republican leaders Of Arizona assure Mr.. Hoover
that his endorsement of Boulder Canyon dam is "A
ten strike and that in particular his declaration that
California should meet in every reasonable way the
needs and views of the other states in the Colorado
BASIN meets with their approval.
In spite of the fact that the opposition to the
Swng-J ohnson bill in Arizona has been led by Demo
Gratis, the Republican county chairman told the can
didate that he will carry their state.
Possibly may be prejudiced, yet we believe that
if Arizona in the past few years had shown the
willingness to compromise that California has eXhb
ited the Colorado question would have been settled
long ago.
In the various conferences between the basin
states it was Arizona that refused to from the
position taken declaring that her claim to prior rights
on the Colorado must be acknowledged: 1t has been
Arizona who has demanded prohibitive portion of
any returns from hydroelectric power developed at

What did he DOE asked the
Fox. who was no good at guessing

"Why he mixed up some talcum

gave it to me, saying it WIS a fine

broke some of my teeth on the
stones. No indeed! If you want Il

had advised to get education was being officially

Senator Curtis. He was born of part Indian stock,
with his red kin on a reservation He was on the road
to following the nomadic life of the plains Indians,
bufeted about from pillar to post as civilization push
ed forward its outposts.
His wise old grandmother could see ahead. Call

his back on the Indian lfe-to give the white blood IN
him its opportunity to get education to be some

wealth and influence glad to pay homage to him
and be guided by the wisdom Of MS counsel
AS though a reminder of what might have BEEN

Greater even than this honor is the love and re-
