WATCH FOR THE BIRDS

Newspapers ove- the state are
warning merchants ana restaur-
ant owners to be on their guard
against another fake plan to get
money for nothing. One fellow goes
into store and makes a purchase,
rendering a one dollar bill. When
he gets his change he states that he
gave ten dollar note. To prove
it he tells the cashier that he h
a bill with certain initials on it.
They are found and the fellow
gets the change and departs. It is
learned that the two men are
working together and making good
money with their short change
scheme. -Ortonville journalism.

Of the representatives of the de-

theories take no account of the ex-
isting circumstances, he said. Class
contradictions exist between the
British and Indian capitalists and
British capitalism wishes to main
tain the monopoly position in In
dia and continue its exploitation of
the country as rawstuff and food
source, and a market for the
motherland. Military reasons make
it necessary to extend Indian rail
ways, he continued, and this is the
aim of capital export and not the
development of heavy industry.
Here, continued ISLANDER, the
thesis is correct and not the critics
of it, including the majority of the
British delegation. The general
capitalist development of India has
led to the growth of the native
bourgeoisie which aims at the de.
velopment of heavy duty and politi.
cal independence. The Indian bour.

BOGOTA, Colombia, Aug. "a
Strict and comprehensive legisla-

munist Party and revolutionary la
Dor unions and organizations. and
organization Of mixed oil companies
that would give greater power to
foreign capital were called for in
manifesto issued today by President
DR.. Abadia Mandez and his cab

Legislation against the Commu-
mist Party already exists in Colon
bia, but the new manifesto declared
the governments intention to de-
clare revolutionary labor unions and
other revolutionary organizations
illegal, and would provide strict pun
ishment for violators.
The mixed" oil companies pro-
posed would provide combine, dom
mated by foreign capital, the main
competitors being England and the
United States, for the exploitation
of oil lands, as well as for the re-
filming and marketing Of the oil and
the construction and exploitation of
public pipelines. The same mani
festo indicates that the government
will not begin exploitation of the
national oil reserves, which it would
consider announcement at the pres
ent time"
The Andean Oil Company, British
controlled, and the Standard Oil are
the two chief petroleum interests in
Colombia. The Gulf Refining Com
pany was recently legislated against
when the Barco concessions were re-
pealed by the president. One ma
tional company already exists in
which, it is believed, Standard holds
chief control.

in the imperialist camp, as Bennett
says.
Bourgeois democratic revolutions
are the central question for all colon
les, Pepper continued. The chief
errors of the Communist Party of
China, he said, were, first, that it
failed to notice the development of
the general national into the bour-
geois democratic revolution and,
second, that it thought the latter was
developing into a proletarian revo-
luton. Stains definition of the
bourgeois democratic revolution, he
continued, as a unification of the
struggle against imperialism and
feudal remnants is classical and ap-
plies to China, India and all colonial
and semi-colonial countries. The CEN
trail Communist task today, Pepper
declared, is to fight against i'm
perialism and the war danger. The
bourgeois democratic revolution still
exists in China. Regarding the Can
ton instruction, he said, l always
described it as the greatest histori-
cal action of the Chinese proletariat
and never opposed armed insurrec-
ton.
The Colonial Theory.
Further speakers were Remmele,
of Germany, and Wolfe, of the
United States. Wolfe declared that
the de-colonization theory over
estimates the progressive role of
imperialism and leads to an oppor-
tunist apology for Imperialism and
weakens the struggle aaginst it.
Temporarily, he continued, United
States capitalism played a progress
sive role in n-America but only
in order to drive out British i'm
perialism, which was the first in the
field and allied with the feudal and
clerical reaction. When the Ameri-
can aim was achieved, he continued,
the United States crushed the pro-
gressive movement it had itself re-
leased and made an alliance with the
feudal reaction. The petty bour-
geois theory of unity of Latin
America against United States i'm
perialism is unacceptable, he said. We
aim at the unification of the revo-
lutionary forces in Latin America
and in the United States and the
foundation of Latin American
workers. and peasants Soviet Re

plane industry have as much fear of
the threat of William Green to or
ganize this industry as when the
A. F. of L. passed their resolution
to organize the automobile industry.
Certainly we cannot expect the
officialdom of the A. F. of L. to
make real effort to organize the
workers in the automobile indus
try. Their latest betrayals of the
miners, textile and needle workers,
and their action in the Flint strike,
must convince every class-conscious
worker that the A. F. of L. official
dom are the enemies of the Ameri-
can working class.
Task of Workers Themselves.
The organization of the workers
in the automobile industry must
come through the initiative of the
class-conscious workers themselves.
A number of problems are con-
nected with the question of organ
izing the workers in the automobile
industry.
The automobile industry, as we
have noted in the article on "The
Scope of the Industry" is the larg-
est manufacturing industry in the
| United States, both in the raw ma
terial used and in the number of
workers, directly and indirectly en-
ployed. The most important fea-
ture of the industry is that nowhere
in the world, not even including the
Clyde district of Scotland, is there
such compact mass OF. proletarians
concent1 ated as. there are in the
Detroit Toledo Cleveland area, which
contains close to three-quarters of
a million workers employed in the
factories, making motor vehicles,
parts, accessories and tires. The
most significant fact is that more
than two-thirds CT these workers
are located within a radius of about
sixty miles. Detroit is the center,
Flint is to the northwest and Toledo
to the east.
A strike in one of the large auto
mobile plants, properly conducted,
is bound to have an effect on the
workers in the other shops and must
result in deepening the class-con-
sciousness of the workers in the
auto industries and lead to further
struggles.
Increase of Semi-Skilled.
The tendency in the automobile
industry is generally in the direc-
ton of less and less skill That
does not mean that the absolute
number of the skilled workers in the
automobile industry is diminishing,
hut that the percentage of the
skilled workers in relation to the
amount of production is diminish
ing. The tendency is also to reduce
the number of unskilled known as
common laborers. Both tendencies
are in the direction of increasing
\ the semi-skilled workers. No mat
ter what you are doing in the in
dustry, some slight skill or agility
is required and, as in the case of
the oil senders, while the amount
of skill is not high, nevertheless a
particular form of skill is required
which takes some time to acquire.
(Tomorrow's article. which will
conclude the series, will deal with
the important problem of the tao
tics and strategy of organizing the
auto workers and the necessity of
building shop committees.)
