automobile at the offices and sat
with Mr.. Coolidge while he went
through his correspondence and
signed some papers. John Coolidge

Ford Chevrolet Battle
Brings War on Workers

The Delco-Remy ignition will be
used.
Keener Competition Means
Greater Exploitation.
With the coming announcement
of the new Chevrolet So" this COM
pany will be the pioneers in in
Producing the six cylinder car into
the low-price field. Undoubtedly
this will place the Chevrolet Motor
Car Co. in the advantageous posi-
ton once held by Henry Ford.
In order to do this it will be abso-
lutely necessary to intensity the ex-
ploitation of labor. More wage-cuts,
greater speeding up and worsen-
ing Of conditions will be the part
that automobile workers will play
in the coming price war between
these two giants.
What Will Be Henry's Next
Move?
The fact that it took Henry Ford
more than a year to make the ad-
justments made necessary by the
change from Model T to Model A.
makes it almost certain that he will
not attempt to make the change to
six-cylinder car at this time. He
will probably endeavor to keep the
four cylinder car in the low price
field by radical reduction in the
price of Model A.
To do this, he will have to inten,
sify what is now believed to be the
very limit of the speed-up system
Workers are now goaded to the
limit of human endurance. Children
are now being exploited in the
plants of Henry Ford. Women anc
children are exploited at incredibly
low wages in factories now making
parts for Henry Ford. Can Henry
Ford squeeze more out of flesh anC
blood Of automobile workers?
Automobile Workers Must
Organize!
Like wars fought on the battlt
field, workers will bear the brun
of this price-war between the gian
automobile corporations. Thei
bodies will be used up quicker il
the process of production. Thei
families will be forced to do will
less of the necessities of life.
No matter who wins this war tn,
workers will pay the price-unles:
they build an organization of auto
mobile workers able to fight in pro
lection of their interests. Automo
bile workers must organize! The
sooner they do so the better for all
Join the Auto Workers Union!

Heroine of 90 Comrades"
A Graduate of Red Army

OLGA TRETIAKOV, who plays the
v leading female part in the first
Soviet comedy of "3 Comrades and
l Invention" a Sovkino production,
which is now enjoying successful
engagement in it's second week at
the Cameo Theatre, has been asso-
ciated with the Russian motion pic
ture studio for four and half years.
However, during this comparatively
short period she has played the lead
ing female character in no less than
sixteen Soviet films.
She is twenty-five years of age
and was born in Ukrainia, where she
attended high school in the city of
Kharkov. She was a student at the
Commercial Institute, but left be-
fore graduating to join the Cavalry
Corps (Gaya) of the Red Army, and
she saw service in the women's bat
talon for a year and half at the
front. At the end of her army life,
she went to Moscow to prepare for
an artistic career. Her talents soon
attracted the attention of the lead
ing Sovkino directors.
Her exl ariences at the front
helped her a great deal in creating
her roles for the screen. The char
acters she portrays are not artifi-
cial. She is representative of the
new Soviet artistic group which
brings to the screen forceful char
acter views of present-day Soviet
life. She plays all her roles in three
dimensions.
In appearance she is the typical
Soviet woman of today, large COM
handing face with pronounced char
actar lines, and traces of the gypsy
influenced by definite characteristics
Of the Ukraine. The fundamental
trait in her face is sincerity and it
reflects all of the impulses of
healthy femininity which is such a
significant factor in the contempor-
airy Russian screen. Tretiakova is
first ana always woman, whether
she plays the part of a peasant girl,
moslem woman, sister, mother or
wife, and her most attractive fea-
ture is her contagious laugh, which
is healthy and simple.
In her screen manner she is direct
and vivid and acts naturally in her
roles. She does not explain her ac-
tions, simply performs them. Her
reactions are not psychological but
physiological, no Mysteries, no
strained attitudes but the splendid
emotions suggested by a glowing
vitality. She is expert in all forms
of athletic life, a splendid horse
woman, an expert motorist and
swimmer.

u tilities Offic ial
Reverses Stand After
Charging Fire Graft

A statement by J. S, Kaplan, an
officer of the Preferred Utilities
Company of 33 W. 60th ST., that
"many inspectors of the Fire De-
partment are taking graft every
day of the week" may cause an in
vestigation by the New York Coun-
ty Grand Jury, it was learned today.
Kaplan made this assertion Fri
day before the board of standards
and appeals, while protesting against
the installation of a new Safety
measure of the fire department. He
refused, however, to give specific
details in support of his charge at
the time.
Since he made the charge, Kaplan
has completely reversed his stand
refusing to elaborate on his state
ment.

Workers and Farmers
in Swedish Chambers;
Communists Win Seats

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. Oct. 90.
The newly elected second chamber
of the Swedish parliament included
a large number of workers and far
mers, and some trade union officials.
AS whole the social-democrats
have suffered a loss while the Com
munists gained four more seats at
their expense.
An analysis of the chamber shows
that there are SO farmers, Sd work
ers and trade union officials, while
in the higher house, although it con-
tains a number of industrialists,
also includes 35 farmers and ten
workers and trade union officials.
An interesting fact is that while
the social democrats have the
majority in the legislature the
cabinet is made up of conservatives.
The conservative vote amounted to
692, APT and the socialist vote to 873,-

If the Young Workers (Communist)

on the part of the authorities to
prevent us from continuing the sue
cessful campaign we are carrying

marines against capitalist m1litar-
ism and the danger Of imperialist
war. The sailors have shown great
-ympathy to the program of the
League, and this has thrown the
militarist and naval authorities into
a panic, as evidenced by this cam
paign of terror on one hand, anC
threats made on all the battleship'
Of the Pacific Fleet that if any
sailor would be found with Com
nunist literature in his possession
it would go hard with him.
"The League will continue it's eff

FARMERS Resent
TREACHERY OF
"PROGRESSIvES"
Crops Prove Poor at
End of Harvest
(Bv a Worker Correspondent)

by Worker Correspondent
BISMARCK, N. D., (By MaiD.--
Quite number of farmers in North
Dakota are surprised and many are
incensed at the endorsement Of
Hoover by Senators Frazier and Nye
and Congressman Sinclair. This was
something they did not expect. and
the farmers are non-plussed.
Of course, this endorsement is in
line with the agreement which the
so-called progressives in congress
have made with the old guard in
both parties. They have long ago
decided to bury the Ratchet of "pro-
gressivism" and line up on the side
of big business.
: Some Of the farmers here also
cannot understand why Governor
Maddox, who is supposed to be
gressive" republican is now rum
ming on the democratic ticket for
governor and has endorsed Smith
for president-Smith who is no bet
ter than Hoover.
This political mix-up in the old
parties and the cheapness of this
years fairly large wheat crop are
setting the farmer to thinking. The
bottom has also fallen out of the
potato market and the farmer does
rot know whether it will pay him or
not to dig them out of the ground.
The only thing there is good price
for now is cattle.
Speaking further of policies, the
farmer also notices that the nom
partisan league candidates, who for
merly held mass meetings in the
small towns and rural communities
in North Dakota, now mainly devote
their attention to the larger towns
and cities. They speak in the big
gest halls available and cooperate
directly with the bankers and BUSH
nessmen. *. N.

To Announce Revised
Charges Against IA
in Obregon Murder

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 90 W,H.-An-
nouncement of the revised charges
against Jose De Leon and Is others
still held with him for completely in
the Oregon assassination is ex-
pected to be made in few days.
Three of those held were released
last week and the prosecution is
studying the superior court decision
with a view to re-aligning the
charges. The burden of III e
charges probably will rest on Toral
and Mother Superior Conception.
She probably will be accused both
of completely in the crime and as an

Gradual Increase of Ford
Production.
While million Chevrolets was
rolling off the lines, Henry Ford
was busy overcoming one obstacle
after another. The redesigning of
the brake system involved a change
