RECORD MADE
BY CHEVROLET
Make 5,OOO,O0Oth Car
September 5; Make
Nationwide Hit

Marking. for the second time with
IN eight months, the passing Of a
miIlionth milestone. the Chevrolet
Motor company announced today
that the five milliOnth Chevrolet
was produced at the Flint, Michr
plant, Sept. 8. The four millionth
car was built Jan. IL, following
quickly on the spectacular nation
wide reception accorded the pres
ent Bigger and Better" model.
The early arrival Of the $780,
O0Oth car was in response TO a con-
tinued demand that has kept Shev-
rolet plants on a day anc night
basis since the first Of the year
and has resulted in the setting o.
new monthly production records ev-
cry month this year.
Production for the year promises
to 20 well beyond the million MARI,
and will show more than a 1000 per
cent increase over 1921 when TT
SOS cars we're built. The epoehai
five miliionth car was a standard
coach and came off the line amid
the cheers Of q vast army Of assem-
bled mechanics who gathered momeR-
farilly 10 see the record making

own ROVER. Exactine schedule re-
nuirements did not permit Of any
ceremonies end a few seconds later
the five millionth car became his
tory, When number 5,000,00t was
driven away.
IL was pointed out that. whereas
IL had required a little more than
10 wears for Chevrolet TO build its
millionth car, the last four million
were produced in q little more than
five wears. an indication Of the
spectacular mach that the Chew
rolet Motor company has made in
recent years 20 attain its present
position as the worlds largest auto
mobils manufacturer IL was shown
too. that since January 13, 1927,
when the 5000. 0O0th car was pro-
duced, q little less thar 20 months
had been required TO produce an
other two million.
This record-breaking production
program was in response to the
greatest demand in the company
history. During the first six
months of this year. 80 per cent Of
ali automobiles sold in Chevrolet's
rrice class were C~hevrOlets. This
was an increase over 1927. wnen
Chevrolet outdistanced all competi-
tors BY selling 40 per cent Of ali
ears purchased in its price class
In light Of the fact that Chew
rolet production is .geared to meet
the demand, ranking company off

Ever BLOCKING your and my way,

Like a snake in c~rving Rambling,

Words that should not have been

Needless of the sirens blowing,
Hardly knowing where it's going.
Moves a car we know Is laden
With a lover and his maiden.
With one hand this youth Is steering
While he murmurs words endearing
To his sweetie, as he holds her

In a clasp that's even closer.
Is she struggling madly2 No. sir.
Close beside him she is squeezing

over this betrayal of the alleged pro-
gressives. The issue used by the
right wingers in expelling Ostrinsky
is that he had participated in the
publication of pamphlet which de-
nounced piece-work. This pamphlet
was issued by the Trade Union Edu-
cational League. The statement of
the League, after condemning espe-
cially the action taken by the So
called progressive participants in the
united front declares:
at is evident that Brother Ostrin-
sky was expelled because he would
be hindrance in the capitulation of
the united front on the question of
piece work.
"The members of Local cannot
and will not be misled by these fell
lows. The tailors will fight against
piece work even though it may be
advocated by so-called progressives,
Let all the tailors, members of Local
5, rally to the meeting of the local
which will be held on Wednesday
April rs, and reject the decision Of
the executive board.

In view of the coming membership
meeting of the Coat Operators Local
5 of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union the tailors section OF
the Trade Union Educational League
has issued a statement to the mem
bership in which they call upon the
workers to reject the decision of the
executive board removing j. Ostrin-
sky from membership on the board.
The right wing officials of the local
who had previously sought the sup
port of the membership on the basis
of opposition to the piece-work por-
icies of the Hillman administration
in the union, had made a united
front" with several progressives, thus
securing their maintenance in office
when the local elections took place
AS soon as they assumed office the
reactionary officials abandoned the
fight on the piece-work system. Os-
trinsky, militant member on the
Executive Board, remained as an i'm
portant obstacle. When they finally
decided to expell him the few So
called progressives also voted for
Ostrinsky's removal.

MEANWHILE Open
SHOP FIRMS ORDER
4O-HOUR SCHEDULE.
Workers Demand Hill
man Put Up Fight

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April II.--
The belief of the membership OF the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers here
that their national officials, who have
been carrying on negotiations with
the Clothing Manufacturers Ex-
change for a new agreement, intend
to give up the memberships demand
for the 40-hour week, is strengthened
by the announcement yesterday by
the leaders of the employers assocla-
ton also that mo 40-hour week Will
be introduced in Rochester"
This statement, which appeared IN
a mems clothing journal, has not
met with a counter-statement from
the Amalgamated officials, declaring
an intention to fight for the 4O-hour
week.
The workers here are convinced
that the 40-hour week is obtainable,
citing a significant fact: Several days
ago two of the largest mems cloth
ING manufacturers in the country,
Keller, Huemann, Thompson and
Michaels Stern and Company, one an
omen shop and the other having an
agreement with the United Garment
Workers, announced the installation
of the 4O-hour week in the plants.
The workers here point out that the
Amalagamated officials have surren-
dered just as the bosses revealed the
fact that they would be compelled to
institute the 40-hour week.
The bosses association representa-
tives in their statment say that one
of the reasons for installation of the
A0-hour week in the plants of the
two Independent companies is that
thev believed that the negotiations
of the Clothiers' Exchange with the
Amalgamated would result in gen
eral adoption of the 40-hour week,
therefore taking steps to install 1t
first in order to prevent the workers
from leaving their jobs. The en-
ployers' spokesman now declare that
Che two firms made mistake, there
will be no 40-hour week in Rochester.
An Empty Boast.
The Amalgamated officialdom, Tor
months past, have been boasting OF
the improvements in standards they
were affecting without strikes and
militant opposition to the employers,
notwithstanding the fact that the
bosses are installing inhuman speed
up methods and firing indiscrimin
ately those unable to keep up.
