New Worthwhile more than 800
of union labor in the country is work
ing "A hours a week or less, the au-
tOmobile workers in Dynamic De-
troit'' where wages are high and the
hours are short" to quote open shop
publicists, are working from so to go
hours week. Reports from Michi-
gan plants turning out snappy sum-
mer models in motor cars show prac-
tically all working over time.
Packard is roaring ga hours a
week, IL hours a day and nine on
Saturday. Olds Motor Works at Lam
sing is doing between liz and 1914
hours a day. Next winter many of
these plants may be on short time
or closed down al together. Such
is the effect of the competitive sales
anarchy on automobile employment.
Workers doing IL to Ii hours III
most of the plants are not getting
the union rate of time and a half.
Some companies pay no overtime
rates while others give third or a
fourth extra for overtime over nina
hous day.
Workers have to put in the extra
hours or face discharge. The Briggs
body plant for instance scene of the
explosion that killed III workers ir
1927, tells new workers thai they WI
bequired to put in as much overtime
as the company desires, including
Saturday afternoons and Sundays al
straight time rates. Those who re-
fuse to work. overtime are told they
will be sent home Immediately. There
are plenty of men outside looking fol
jobs. Employment lines at the ForC
River Rouge plant in recent days
have run as high as $50 voorhees,.
Along with the overtime work dur
ing rush seasons go other accompan
iments of speedup and close exploi
tation. One example is the robbinl
of odds and ends of time from tn,
workers. Assembly line workers il

ballot and are being rapidly signed.
Strongest Ticket Ever Nominated
The convention was of the opinion
that they had selected a group of
candidates that every farmer could
vote for with assurance that his in
terests would be protected after cleo
ton of the various county officers.
They also asked the farmers and pro-
ducers of this county to give their in
tIoenee in every way possible to nut
their candidates across.
The above county ticket is one of
the best ever selected in Sheridan
county and it behooves every farmer
and producer to get behind them in
the fall election. This is the farmers
ticket and is not supervised by a
group of men whose interests are OPP
posed to that of the farmers.
Salisbury Drafted
Out of quiet but earnest meeting
came one outburst that will be long
remembered by every delegate pres
ent and that was when the name o1
Rodney Salisbury was brought before
the convention for sheriff. The cheer.
for Salisbury shook the very roof o
the temple. AS delegates arose t,
talk in behalf of the present sheriff
the applause was deafening, bespeak
ing the popularity of Salisbury VIII
was drafted by the farmers despit
his desires to return to private life
The nomination of sheriff Salisbur
was a severe blow to the reactionarie
