AMERICAN AUTO
FIRMS HOGGING
GERMAN MARKET
Can Beat Germans at
Speed-up System

BERLIN, Nov. 11.-That Ameri-
can auto manufacturers are "clean-
ing up on Germany" can be seen
at the international automobile show
now going on here. Also, the
Americans are cleaning up on Eng
land, it being seen that during the
past four years imports of cars from
England have been very small COM
pared to those from the United
States. In 1927, England imported
only one-twelfth Of the number sent
from America.
German manufacturers have been
trying to beat American competi-
ton which overcomes even the high
protective tariff. They have at
tackled the wage and hour standards
of the workers and sought to ration
alize their production system. They
have adopted the belt conveyor sys-
tenn and cut the number of types
from 146 to 81 and the number Of
small shops from SO to 81.
But the Americans are still ahead
in the game, since they excel in
speed-up of the workers. American
firms who have assembly plants in
Germany, using unskilled labor, get
30 per cent more labor out Of these
workers than the German makers
with skilled labor.
In 1925 only 100000 cars were in
use, but early this fall the million
mark had been passed. Germany
produces $4,000 cars annually and
has exported only about 1000, so
American firms feel that they have
fine field. The Graham-Paige
Company will soon open an assem-
bly, plant near Berlin, the seventh
American plant in Germany.

Enrolment at Workers
School Cooperative
Branch Almost Doubles

The cooperative branch of the
Workers School, the largest branch
Of the school, has started what
promises to be the most successful
year in its history. The co-opera-
tive branch, which conducts classes
at 2700 Bronx Park East and which
had a registration last year of over
200 individual members taking one
or more courses, offers this year
several courses in English, as we'll
as courses in Public Speaking, Fun
Gamentals of Class Struggle, Imper-
ialism, American History and Civ
les, Literature, and Principles of the
Cooperative Movement.
Five English classes have already
been started. Though these classes
have already started, registration is
still open for some Of them. The
class in public Speaking" will start
on Sunday, Nov. Is, at 1920 a. m.
All those interested in taking the
course at the cooperative branch of
tire Workers. School should immedi-
ately get in touch with Sonya Gins
burgh, director of the cooperative
branch of the Workers School, at
2700 Bronx Park East, or with the
secretary, who can be found every
evening at the office of the coop
erative branch Of the Workers
School. From present indications it
Is more than likely that the indi-
vidual enrolment will be doubled
during the present year and will
pass the 400 mark The school is
open not only to members of the
United Workers Cooperative, but
to all workers living in the Bronx,
especially in the neighborhood of
the school.

that we got great kick out Of
watching the company policeman
who became violently excited at see
ing a group of "Reds" doing Com
munist work. However, he did not
bother us. At p. m. we started
street meeting on Main St., across
fiom the sugar refinery gate. We
had four speakers and a chairman,
and in short while, we had a group
of interested workers who listened
to us for the entire two hours of
our meeting. Some bought litera-
ture and after we were through, ex-
pressed their gratitude and asked
us when we were coming back again.
They informed US that if we had
held the meetings in further Sec
ton of the tSwn, we would have had
a larger crowd, as some workers did
not attend because they were afraid
of being spotted by the company
stool pigeons. 1t is our opinion that
the meeting was very fair one.
Our general experience proves that
many workers are ready to meet
the Communist Party favorably.

Cooperative Clothiers
Use Third of Funds

One-third of all earnings of the

operative venture in New York, is
used for class-conscious educational
work in workers organizations, ac-
cording to John Biazzo, president of
the cooperative. The other two
thirds of the earnings Is put into a
reserve fund and apportioned to all
customers in proportion to their
purchases.
Biazzo called attention to the fact
that clothing purchased from CAPT
talistic factories helps swell the
funds with which to fight the labor
movement.
ut is our conviction" said Biazzo,
"that a cooperative venture should
do more than merely cater to work
ers and share its profits with its
consumers. 1t should go further. 1t
should devote percentage Of its
arnings for the education of work
TO the pointing out of the evils
he capitalist system of exploita-
ion and oppression.
eve have, therefore, set aside
one-third of our earnings this year
for propaganda, The ultimate pur-
pose of this educational work will be
to point the way to workers and

try"

A suit for damages by Angelo

international Labor Defense and the
American Civil Libertes Union, act

This is the fourth suit brought
against the Pennsylvania policemen
in recent months as result of bru-

Baldwin,, according to informa-
ton supplied by him to the Inter-
national Labor Defense, was stand
ing in front of the Export post Of
flee when the police drove up in an
automobile. One of the officers,
Bruce Kunkle, grabbed Baldwin, and
struck him again and again with a
blackjack, breaking three of his
ribs.
Baldwin,, who was bleeding pro,
fusely from the many cuts he had
received, was held in the police car
for about three hours. He was
taken finally to the barracks in
Greensburg, county headquarters of
the police. When he arrived at the
barracks he was SO weak from the
beating that he was unable to wash
the blood from his face when the
police ordered him to do so. He
was then taken to the Greensburg
Hospital, where he lay for twelve

Elaboration policies of the union Off
cialdom.
The issue of collaboration with
the silk manufacturers caused a
clash between the fighting and pow
erful left wing in the union and the
officialdom at the last meeting of
the strike committee Saturday af-
ternoon.
Criticize Gall" Article.
At this meeting a resolution was
introduced sharply criticizing an ar
ticle appearing in the Paterson Call,
capitalist paper, which claimed
that the workers interests were
identical with those of the silk
manufacturers. This article was in
serted by the publicity manager
who works for the union, with the
consent of the officialdom. The
resolution proposed by the left wing
declared this article greatly endan-
gered the chances of victory and
might do Unreasonable harm to the
strike. Steps were also taken by
the strike committe to change the
publicity head and place this work
more in the control of the strike
committee.
When the followers of the Off
cialdom sa wthe impending adoption
by majority of the strike COM
mittee of the resolution of criticism,
they embarked on a dangerous
course of intimidating the militants
on the committee. Before the vote
was put, they walked out Of the
meeting. But the left wing dele
gates to the strike committee were
by no means inundated. After a
thorough discussion, they passed
the resolution and the decision to
reconstruct the publicity depart
ment.
Workers Become Militant.
More and more Syrian workers
are coming to clearly understand
the policy of their own leaders.
They give evidence of the fact that
they know their leaders to be camp
followers of the officialdom. And
that the interests of the strike are
severely damaged by their leaders,
who try to isolate the Syrians and
use them as voting bloc for their
own private interests.
The Syrian workers realize that
they, just as the workers Of the
other nationalities, must give sup
port to the left wing and the mill
tant tactics they propose. AS part
of this development among the
Syrian workers, is the speed with
which .Potica, the "leader" of the
Syrians is losing his influence.
Potica, faced with the Syrian work
ers' movement toward militant poll
cies, likes to pose as a RED"
