AUTOMOBILE SYMBOL OF
MODERN SLAVERY" NEW
OCTOPUS RISEN TO POWER
"Horseless Carriage
Becomes Vehicle
of Business
Driving Force to War
By BEN LIFSCHITZ

From the laughable little "horse-
less carriage" but of the jokes of
the practical and sane, the automo-
bile has in short generation grown
into an octupus of transportation
which helped empires to build their
economic greatness. The past fif-
teen years in the life of this re-
markable industry has witnessed a
boom development unprecedented in
economic history.
Vast fortunes have been made lit
orally overnight in furthering its
progress. Bankers and finance cap
italists have staged the most dra-
matte battles for its control. Hun
dreds of thousands of workers have
been drafted into its service --and
slavery. Speed-up, exploitation,
standardization, mechanization of
the human being-the Belt!-these
and a thousand other revolutionary
developments have occurred in the
short span of its lifetime.
Whittier Automobile?
Has this giant attained in the U. S.
its maturity or is it still in the up
ward stage of development? Upon
the correct answer to this question
depend other, vastly larger, ques-
tions of economic perspective.
This much may be said: The
Bonanza period of the industry is
drawing to close!
Capital, investment in unbelieva-
bly, enormous amounts has flowed
into the industry. The rapidly con-
centrating money power is leading
to bitter competition between cap
italist combinations not only in the
United States but between those at
home and abroad.
In the United States this struggle
is most clearly marked in the
rivalry between the gigantic Ford
and General Motors Company
groups. The development of the
new model Ford car, accompanied by
the production of the new model
Chevrolet, reflects this conflict This

1t cannot be said that the speed

the post revolutionary, as they did
the pre-revolutionary life of Rus

The discovery of secret lodges,
semi-masonic in character, whose
members, remnants and left-overs
of the former aristocracy, transact
their business in hypothetical paper
and land titles on an imaginary
bourse, are among the discoveries
of the authorities.
Checks drawn on banks which
ceased to exist ten years ago, and
signed obligations payable on the

tions of the frantic aristocrats, now
faced with the feat Of earning the
food they eat.

have been the name of one of the
lodges. Another was called the

but "blue bloods" are excluded.
At the head of a third stood
Ochneff-Lefevre, former confection-
er to the car, who has since been
sent north by the authorities. He
was addressed as "Your Majesty
Louis Fourteenth" and was fated
to restore not only the Russian aris-
tocracy but the France of Marie
Antoinette.
All these lodges are alleged to
have maintained counter revolutions

Last Thursday night, Abe Har-

members of the Dwyer Post that
the so-called "Americanization'
process will in the future be inten-
sified by ''free speech parties" of
similar nature to that which last
week resulted in the assault on the
Communist speakers.
At tonight's meeting the speak
ers will devote much of their time
to the exposure of the graft and
corruption of Tammany Hall in
Queens and tell Astoria workers the
truth about Al Smith, the candidate
of the traction interests and the en-
emy of the workers, as we'll as ex-
posing the big business and open

BUILDING TRADES
COUNCILS UNIFIED
Move Seen for Greater
Boss Control

Announcement was made yester-
day by William J. McSorley, presi-
dent of the Building Trades Depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor, of the completion of plans
for the union of the two building
trades councils hitherto functioning
in New York City.
The dual building trades council
which was the only one actually ef-
fective was organized about ten
years ago by the notorious Robert
P. Brindell, who served term in
Sing Sing for extortion. The ma
jority of the building trades unions
were compelled to affiliate with this
organization. The council is known
to have been completely dominated
by the building trades employers.

(Wiireless to The Daily Worker).
MOSCOW, U. S. r. R., Aug. 15.-
Further discussion of the draft pro-
gram occupied the twenty-seventh
session of the World Congress of
the Communist International here
yesterday afternoon.
.Semard, of France, declared that
the draft program utilizes the ex-
periences of the last ten years, but
that it must deal more in detail with
the role of the social democracy, its
attitude toward the Soviet Union
and its role in capitalist rationaliza-
ton. The formulation of the draft
program concerning the hegemony
of the proletariat in the revolution
must not be weakened as a conces-
sion of the peasantry, as Renaud
Jean suggests. Such an alteration
would oppose the feminist idea con-
corning the role of the proletariat.
In the opinion of the French dele
cation, the draft must deal more in
detail with the possibility of build
ing socialism in one country alone.
Not "Too Heavy"
Page Arnot, of Great Britain,
then declared that the British dele
cation in general approves of the
draft which represents a continua-
tion of the work of Marx, Engels
and Lenin. The draft correctly
utilfzes the experiences of the Rus
sian Revolution, the speaker de-
clared, hence the British delegation
is opposed to all criticisms that the
draft is "too Russian"
The British Labor Party declares
that fascism is impossible in Great
Britain. If the Communists adopted
this idea it would mean an over
estimation of the strength of capi-
talism. Fascist tendencies on the
part of the British borgeoisie un-
doubtedly exist and are commencing
to take theological and organiza-
tional forms.
The British delegation recon-
mends certain improvements in the
draft and welcomes the latter as the
instrument for the conquest of the
workers and their theological arma-
ment in the struggle against capi-
talisn.

Britain Orders Four
 Submarines Constructed

London, Feb. g N-The Vikers Armstrong company announced to- day that 1t had received an order from the British admiralty for the construction Of four submarines.
 The admiralty in confirming the announcement stated that the four aubmersibles are part of the already announced 1927 construction pro- gram of six submarines. Contracts for the other two have been given other companies.
 Cologne. Feb. ! R-The Gazette in granting that Secretary Kellogg's plan for scrapping submarines is ad- mirable in itself, contends that it would simply result in making strong powers mightier and small powers weaker. The paper suggests that 1t would be better if the United States gave proof Of its goodwill "by scrapping her giant battleships and deciding to build no more."
