house he now owned.
The large red barn and all the 9TH

dreams then, but Star and Buck, his
good old oxen, and his fist COW ely

in the sod barn.
"Lykkros' they had called the COW,
Ma and him and the boys when they

"Lykkros" means good luck rose
and good luck he had had.
But there had been hardships of all
kinds, and then bad luck, when things
began to look real bright.
He thought of his three boys, Carl
Sven and Nels had sat there, so quiet
and still in the lumberwagon, pulled
by Star and Buck when they first
moved out here.
A big tear rolled down his cheek
and he felt a singing pain in his

many times when he thought of his
two oldest boys, whom he had plan
ned so much for and expected SC
much of, and who had been such
very good boys.
Far, far away in Flanders field
they rested in peace, but remembered

Christmas was near.
Farmer Johnson's children were all
20 spend the holidays at home on the
farm and this filled their parents with
Joy. Pa had got the farms Christ

light man just finished the job about
one hour ago.
Pa could hardly wait until it had
been dark enough to turn it on, and
now he stood out in the yard, right
under the big light between the house
and the barn and thought Of the many
Christmas's he had spent without it.

"Tut, tut, tut, tut!" scolded another

Mother Brown turned to discover Mr.

For the time being she forgot all about

Black Pussy somewhere around, but
Black Pussy was nowhere TO be seen
Nor could she see anything else to ex-

she gave 1t UP and once more turned

Once more she forgot the clothespinE IN

She went outside the shed to look
around. AS soon as she was outside the
scolding stopped. But when she re-
turned it started again. She was scold-

point from which she could watch the
clothespin bag. Almost at once Jenny
and Mr.. Wren began 20 pick up the
sticks that she had pulled out Of the
bag and carry them back in again
How they did work. They worked 70
fast and so hard that Mr.. Wren didn't
have time for his usual amount of sing

while and sing SO hard that he shook
all over.

BY PHILIP A. RAYMOND

The automobile industry, has long
been held up at home and abroad as
having solved the secret of high
wages, mass production and open
shop prosperity. During the time
that auto manufacturers had diff
Guilty in keeping with the de-
mand, thousands of low-paid and
unemployed workers in the mine
fields, textile and other industries
flocked into the automobile centres
to enjoy 1.-The comparatively high
wages.
For this reason what is now hap
pening in the auto industry is of in
terest to all workers. This industry
directly employs over $4,000 work
ers while indirectly over 100000
persons are employed in some
capacity connected with motor
transportation. In 1928, it consumed
100000 tons of steel or 10 per cent
of steel production. 1t furnished a
market for IS per cent of rubber,
"a per cent Of plate glass, n per
cent of aluminium and Is per cent of
hardwood lumber. 1t is the third
largest user of the railroads, at the
same it is now an IMPORTANT factor
in transportation itself.
The growing competition is best
exemplified in the rivalry of Ford
and Chevrolet for control Of the
cheap car field First, Chevrolet
drove the Ford model T off the
market. Next, Chevrolet introduced
a six cylinder car in the same price
class as the four. Now, it appears
that Ford is more than holding his
own in the competitive struggle.
Taking eleven states at random, we
find that in the month of June, 49,
576 new Rord cars were registered
to 10,736 new Chevrolets. The g.
900, 0OOth Model A car rolled off the
line towards the end of July. 1t is
Chevrolet's next move; either a
drastic price cut or essential i'm
provements, accompanied by further
wage-cuts and an intensified speed
up program.
This competition is not confirmed
to the cheap car field. Recently, a
5000 reduction was announced for
the Studebaker-Dictator Six. At
the same time, A. R. Erskine, presi-
dent of this corporation made the
statement that price reductions
would not mean reduced profits.
Economics Of operation and manu-
facture permits the. company to

tend the disaffection to other parts
of the plant. The lack of success
in the use of this method does not
seem to dampen their ardor. The
persistence with which they return
ITO the attack after each failure is
worthy of better cause"
While automobile manufacturers
hate and fear the Auto Workers
Union, they have nothing but con-
tempt for the A. F. of L. 1t seems
to them that the A. F. of L. could
not deliver the goods even if given
an opportunity. They are too much
discredited to WELD mucp influence
over the workers. In this situation
the workers must be on their guard
against any so-called progressive
group within the A. F. of L., which
would betray the workers after
winning their --ffidence by progress
sive slogans. Such a group is the
"Muste Brookwood Progressive
Group" They have already be-
trayed the rayon workers in Ten
nessee, the silk workers in Pater-
son and the hosiery workers in Ken
osha, Wis.
Support the TUEL.
The Trade Union Educational
League has given vigorous support
to the Auto Workers Union in its
efforts to organize the automobile
industry. Just as it has supported
the struggles of the textile workers
'of Passaic, New Bedford. and Gas
tonia, the needle trades, miners and
shoe workers, it has given every pos
sible aid to the automobile workers.
The time has come to build new
trade union center to replace the
effete A. F. of L. which is now moth
ing else than an instrument of the
bosses.
The new militant industrial unions
in the mining, textile, needle, auto
mobile and other industries must
combine their strength. Only in
that way will it be possible effec-
lively to resist new onslaughts on
the workers livelihood, fight back
police attacks and Gastonia frame
ups, resist preparations for new
war and thus build trade union
center which will in the interests
of the workers. The TUUC conven-
ton takes place August 31st in
Cleveland where the new Trade
Union Center will be inaugurated.
Militant workers in q all industries,
Elect delegates to the TUUC!

center!

! the biggest strike in the auto in
dustry of Detroit since the Fisher
Body strike of 1921. Under the
leadership of the Auto Workers
Union, 1900 men and women
marched on the picket line, resist
ing every attempt on the part of the
police to break their line. Before
the strike was over, Murray body
was forced to rescind the 20 per
cent wage cut.
The Role of the A. F. of L.
At time when automobile work.
ers are carrying on militant strug-
giles against wage-cuts, what is the
A. F. of L. doing? After its bonn
bastic declaration to organize the
auto industry in 1926, what has been
accomplished in three years? Ches-
ter M. Culver, general-manager of
the Employers Association of De-
troit gives the answer. He says,
'The A. F. of L. can't even obtain
the : ear of industrial workers and
leaves the field to the Reds" Natur-
ally, the thousands of former miners
and other workers now employed in
the auto industry do not mean to
give the A. F. of L. an opportunity
to again betray them. Since the
employers turned down with con-
tempt the offer of A. F. of L. or
ganizers to help them exploit labor
more efficiently, they have skulked
back into their holes. But, never
theless, auto workers must be on
their guard against any A. F. of L.
efforts to stab them in the back
during time of struggle.
In the same article the head of
the Employers Association Says of
the Auto Workers Union: "The only
union that is still actively attempt
ing to secure control of the auto
mobile industry is the Auto Work
ers Union. This organization is
directed by the Communists. 1t has
met with little success in it's attempt
to gather in all workers in the in
dustry, but its agents are always on
the job. Never do they lose an OPP
portunity to enlarge upon fancied
grievances or to misinterpret the
policy of management and to prom
Use utopian results if the union
secures control. They gain certain

causing a strike in one department,

1t is also resulting in American
manufacturers buying up European
plants building factories of their
own abroad. 1t is at this time that
we hear of auto manufacturers de-
manding that the tariff be removed
on automobiles.
All of these factors combined
with the introduction of labor say
ing devices is resulting in the
growth Of a permanent army of I'M
employment in the auto industry.
Just a few figures will illustrate
what is happening. 1928 production
of cars and trucks was 100000.
The first six months of 1929 shows
a production of 3,223,000 vehicles.
The most optimistic predictions for
the full 1929 production is not more
than 100000 cars, leaving about
100000 cars to be produced in the
last six months of the year. While
the average automobile factory en-
ployment was % per cent in excess
Of the average for the first six
months of last year, automobile pro-
duction was AZ per cent in excess for
the same period. Production and
employment is falling fast. Chevro-
let is reducing production by 80 per
cent. Chrysler and other plants
are doing the same. Department of
Labor figures for July shows fall
of To per cent in automobile factory
employment.
Praying for Rain.
A recent bulletin of the Guarantee
Trust Co. of N. Y. says, at is obvi-
Gus that the present. rate of in
dustrial activity can not be main
tanned indefinitely. On the other
hand curtailment of production may
be deferred for some time" Auto
mobile manufacturers realize this.
but each is out fof the hogs share
of the market and as far as pos
sible leaves it to the other fellow
to do the curtailing.
Auto Workers are Fighting Back
Drastic wage-cuts from 10 to
1874 per cent are taking place thru
out the industry. Thousands OF
automobile workers in Detroit, Pom
tiac, Flint, Oakland, CAL, and other
cities are fighting back. The last
strike took place against the Murray
Body Corporation in Detroit against
a wage-cut of 20 per cent. 1t was
