F0nd,s Genius

Gradual, Sure

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 14.-Fir-
ing workers whose pay envelopes
average seven dollars and fifty
cents a day and re-hiring them at
five dollars is the latest wrinkle
which Ford efficiency has introduced
into starvation in the automotive
industry.
The new device for driving the
men TO the wall has had it's initial
tryout at the Ford battery depart
ment, where those survived the
merciless speed-up long enough to
feel themselves safe, now suddenly
find themselves at the employment
gate with no chance for job pay
ing more than five dollars.
Many of the older men are Being
Immediately replaced by others who
are scarcely more than boys and
are better able to endure the speed
up and willing to take the decrease
in pay.
There is no question that the
vanishing pay-envelope" stunt, now
that it has won its spurs in the
battery department, will he gradu-
ally extended to other departments
of Ford industry.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. Ia.
"A committee of 80 striking mem
bers of the New Bedford Textile
Workers Union, chosen by the thou
sands of strikers to lodge formal pro-
test with Mayor Ashley against the
vicious police attacks on picket lines
and the barring of strikers children
from the city's public parks, ap-
peared in the City Hal. yesterday
and was told by an official that the
mayor had left five minutes ago.
While permission to picket is the
chief demand of the Textile Mill
Committees members, the union
will insist on the right to use the
public parks as gathering places for
the strikers children.
A huge wave of mass resentment
swept over the city when the police
arrested Elizabeth Donnelley, T. M.

children when they tried to sing
strike songs in the park last week.
After making the arrests, the po-
lice drove out the hundreds of chill

South Dakota has been added to
the number Of states on whose Of

received today by the National Elec-
tion Campaign G ommittee of the

East 125th St., New York City,
from Arthur Starr, special organ
izer in the agricultural regions of
the Northwest.
The necessary number of petit

retary of state for South Dakota,
Starr reports. The working farm
ers of that state, who were fooled
by Townley and his fake get-rich-
quick oil schemes, are now begin
ming to realize that there is no
shortcut to emancipation from the
perennial troubles that afflict the
farmers.
On Ballot in IL States.
The Communist ticket is now on
the ballot in II states, and organ
izers are actively engaged making
the necessary preparations to quail
ify it in the majority of the other
states of the Union. In some states
getting the party ticket on the bal
lot is little more than a formality,
but in states like New York and
Ohio it is a stupendous task to col
lect the necessary number of sig
natures.
In addition to South Dakota the
Communist ticket is on the ballot
in the following states: Delaware.
New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Michigan, Arkansas,
Iowa, Kansas and New Mexico.
The work of putting the Party
ticket on the ballot in Massachu

When visited in his home in the

of his experiences, Pinto told me

The loss of the strike is the
climax of the policies pursued by
Lewis. Failure to organize the
unorganized resulted in the pro-

fields outstripping the union
fields. AT the outbreak of the

unorganized.
