FINE PROGRAM

the school pupils last night to wit
ness the Christmas program Eager
Heart produced by the students.
The program opened with the en-
rance through the auditorium of
4 robed choir singing ''Adcstc
Fidelis.' Each singer carried n
lighted candle, adding much to the
rmpressivcness. of the scene.
John Couch presented the pro.
logue Introducing the play Eager
Heart to the audience. The play
deals with the historic events of
:hc first Christmas night and was
exceptionally well given, the actors
showing thc results of careful train
ing. Their lines were we'll given,
there was an absence of the awk-
wardness usually encountered in
amateur theatricals, and the chill
dren entered into their roles with
sincerity and conviction.

Realistic scenes portrayed the ar
rival of Joseph and Mary in Beth
lchem; the shepherds watching their
tlocks, the arrival of the "Wisc
Men, ard finally the alteration of
the Child by the Magi. The latter
scene was beautiful in its sweet sim
plicity.
Invisible choirs rendered appro.

story effectively. These included
First Noel, - ''Cradlc Song

Three choirs, directed by Miss
Martha tolvin, supervisor of music
in the elementary schools, showed
exceptional training by the splendid
manner IN which they sang.
In addition to the enthusiasm Of

General Motors Hurls New Chal-
Ienge at Ford

The cheapening of auto production has been
proceeding at an ever-accelerated pace during
the past few years. Even the highest grade
lines have been cheapened in price by thou
sands of dollars while the product is superior
to the old models, in spite of the prevailing
popular belief to the contrary.
While there has been considerable improve
nlent in the machinery of auto production 1t
has by no means been comparable to the de-
creased production costs. The chief secret
Of decreased cost of production lies IN the
naturalization of the industry. In other
words the burden of the competitive war has
been placed on the auto workers. The terrific
speed-up produces human wreckage almost as
fast as automobiles in spite of their mass
straight-line production; wages are con-
stantly being cut hours heightened; men are
being rapidly replaced by the youth under
the pretext of industrial schooling; tens of
thousands of women are in the industry and
every year sees more of them replacing the
men who formerly considered auto making
their monopoly.
The appearance on the market of the new
1929 model popular priced car in competition
with Ford, is the heaviest blow yet delivered
Ford by the General Motors. In this con-
flict of giants in the automobile industry
Ford has been forced from one unfavorable
position into another. The old model of the
General Motors car was so pronounced an i'm
provement over the Ford "Model 7" (the
old "tin lizzie'') that the Ford plants had to
be closed for a year while hundreds of
millions of dollars were spent on the new
model "a" in an effort to compete with the
Chevrolet.
When Ford started production on the
1928 model he encountered SO many diff
culties that for the best part of the year
every car placed on the market represented
loss Meanwhile the 1928 product of Cen
era Motors held its position attained during
the installation of the new Ford equipment
as leader in the 4-cylnder line.
Ford, however, anticipated a record
breaking year in 1929 with production be-
You'd the 5000 cars day now produced. The
coming year was expected again to place Ford
at the head of the 4-cylinder list. But Gen
eral Motors, Morgan concern, is out to
crush Ford and at an expenditure of $780,
100000 has re-equipped the Chevrolet plants
to produce a 6-cylinder motor car at prac-
tically the same price as the 4-cylinder model
The Unreasonable resources of Wall Street
are thrown into the balance against the Ford
concern which stands alone on its own re-
sources
The appearance of the new 6-cylnder
Chevrolet means that General Motors during
the coming year will again defeat Ford. AL

ready the new Chevrolet equipment is suf-
ficient to produce 100000 motor cars in
1929. Ford cannot conceivably reorganize
his plant in time to meet the new and omin-
Gus challenge and by the time he does sue
coed in recognizing it will be easy for Cen
eral Motors to throw still better car upon
the market at lower price.
One thing is a certainty: Ford cannot hold
out much longer in his struggle against Wall
Street His industry, like the other giant
concerns of the country must inevitably come
under the complete domination of finance
capital. Either he will voluntarily merge
with his formidable rival or be crushed in
the competitive war now raging.
Every offensive and every defensive move
between these giants Of trustified industry
is being paid for by the working class, in I'M
bearable speed-up, increased exploitation and
reduction in standards of living.
If the official labor movement of the
country were dominated by other than the
most venal agents of capitalism the auto
mobile industry would have some semblance
of organization. Instead Of organizing the
auto workers the American Federation of
Labor officialdom actually fights in the most
vicious manner against any attempt of the
workers to create organizations to fight to
better their conditions Particularly glaring
is this treachery in Detroit, where the Detroit
Federation of Labor is merely part of the
identical republican machine that is dom
mated by the Ford interests
The task of organizing the slaves of the
motor industry must be one of the major
drives of the left wing of the labor move
ment. Just as the Communists and the left
elements of labor have organized and led
every Important strike since 1922 in other
industries, so must we strive with every
ounce of energy to organize the auto workers.
There is in existence an Independent union
of auto workers. the Auto and Aircraft
Workers Union. Every auto worker who has
even the slightest conception of his class
position should be member of that union
and work theoretically to rally the hundreds
of thousands of other auto workers into it's
ranks in order that the wage workers in the
auto industry may fight both Ford and Cen
eral Motors for living wages, against the
speed-up and to shorten the hours of labor.

BOSTON.-While southern cham
bers of commerce are boosting COM
munities of cheap, non-union labor
as a paradise for employers, New
England manufactures are not to be
outdone. Meeting at Portland, Me-,
the New England Council adopted
three-year sales plan, to cost
100000, to put the six northeast
ern states once more on the map.
They cannot boast, as southern
open-shoppers do, mot a labor
union in any manufacturing indus
try of the state" But by bringing
together the power interests of the
six states, organizing an agricul-
tural league and adopting a New
England label-not a union label
for all products, the super boosters
are on the mark, ready set for the
race.
Power Companies Lined Up.
Learning from southern advertis-
ers who have enticed industries to
the south by promising cheaper
power service, the council first lined
up the General Electric, New Eng
land Power and other utility COM
panies operating in New England.
One of the big open-shop manu-
facturers interested in the sales
plan is Charles Cheney of Cheney
Bros, silk manufacturers, South
Manchester, Conn. Meeting in his
own Cheney-town with 200 others of
the Connecticut Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, Cheney told them how he
resisted the attractive and very
tempting offers" of southern COM
munities to move his entire plant
to the south. He pledged himself
not to move, but to build up in
New England the same favorable
conditions now existing south of the
Potomac,

against its leadership. Militant"
against the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union. Militant" against
the Communist International and it's
leadership. Militant" against the
Workers Republic of the Soviet
Union. Such is the militancy of his
new organ, "The Militant" To the
workers who follow the Communist
Party it is interesting only to prove
once more what was proved in the
cases of Lore, Salutsky, Basky, AL
lane, and other renegades from our
Party. There is no place outside
the Communist Party for one who
has once been in it except in the
camp of the enemies of the working
class. And those three great mill
tants, Cannon, Abern and Shacht-
man, with one good leap, have land
ed there.

This slanderous article ends with
an Indictment to the American
workers to attack the Soviet Union.
1t reads:
Communist Workers of America!
Defend the lives of Trotsky and
Radek!
Demand their return to Moscow and
provision of the best medical aid
in their illness!"
Thus the renegades from Com
munism join with the socialist in
becoming the "agitprop" department
to prepare propaganda aiding i'm
perialism to poison the minds of
the workers against the Soviet
Union!
Cannon and 18th Anniversary
The Militant" comes out while our
Party is holding meetings to cele-
brate the 18th anniversary of the
Russian Revolution and to rouse the
masses for the defense of the Soviet
Union. And Shachtman's contri-
button is an article SLOGANS for To-
day." which contains such sentences
as "The conspiracy in the Donetz
Basin tore aside the veil that con-
cealed the bureaucratic corruption
that had seeped into the state, the
economic and the Party apparatus"
The article is full of sneers, inuendos
and insinuations that the leadership
of the CPSU is degenrated into an
anti-Communist expression of the
interests, not of the working class,
but of the kulaks and Nepmen.
