cists into the plant and the workers
are locked out. Other factories

tional Socialists" staging a propa-
ganda demonstration for the NUM-
cipal election, and the provoked
workers. Armed police interviewed.
The Commander-in-C Chief of the
German Army, General Heye, is ex-
pected to arrive in Vienna on pre-

THOUSANDS Off

Throw Many Out

(By Worker Correspondent
DETROIT, Mich. (By MaiD.-
Well, I am writing our good paper
the Daily Worker so as other slaves
will know what is going on here in
Detroit. Work is so bad at this
time that the stores are laying off
the slaves from one to two days a
week. This is so in Sears, Roebuck
and Co., out CT Gratiot Ave. Say,
by the way, this is how they pay
the workers at Sears, Roebuck.
They pay them 500 a week and 3
per cent off on a dollar.
Well, many auto shops are closed
down. Ford works 2, 2 IL, 3, 4, 3
days a week, just as he needs parts.
Out at the Hudson Motor Co. the
other day the wagon was called to
get one of the slaves for beating
up a slave-driver. Say, have you
been inside Of that auto shop?
They have a bunch of girls paying
them from SIS to S23 a week and
the boss talks to them like this
goddam you, hurry up, and so on.
A fine bunch of slaves we are.
What's the matter with US? Let's
wake up and organize into a fight
ing union. VIII we let our mas
ters starve our wives and children,
or will we stick together and go out
for living wage?
The slaves surely know why they
are being starved, but they must
not let it go at that. Don't let's
be bunch of yellow dogs, but wake
up and join the Auto Workers
Union. Well, will do all l can to
wake up the slaves, and all l can
for our good Daily Worker.

PACKARD SALES
NEAR BILLION
Company Is Conceded to Be
Quality Leader.

Automobiles valued wholesale at
more than $800,OOO0O0 have been
sold by the Packard Motor Car
Company in the last nineteen years,
according to IT. E. Byrne, local
branch manager.
The Packard automobile first was
offered to the public nearly thirty
years ago through the foresight of
a group of men in Warren, o.
Today the company is conceded
generally to be the leading independ-
ent automobile manufacturer in the
quality group and its product is
probably more quickly and univer-
sally recognized than that of any
other maker.
There are few small boys who
can not recognize a Packard, wheth-
er it be a 1910 or a 1929 model,
Byrne said.
Uniform schedule of prices for re-
pair work, maintenance, and parts
is development Of the general sales
policy of equitable treatments de-
signed to make Packard owners eff
fective statesmen of Packard cars
and logical prospects for repeat bust
ness.
One entire building is maintained
by the company at the Detroit plant
for stocking spare parts and access
series for any Packard car or truck
ever built, no matter how old.
