trek of the workers. You can judge
how hard job it is when you re-
member that these men know what
it is to be out of job in Detroit
Painful Work.
The work consists in rubbing the
auto body with wet, fine sandpaper,
so that all your energy has to be
concentrated in your hands. The
strain on the arm and hand muscles
is tremendous. On the polishing
job the swing of the body causes
intense pain. After about six hours
the men slow down, "all in"; but
still the lines crawl relentlessly
along and the foreman comes strid-
ing down, "Come on now, boys, get
on the job! Snap out of i'll"
On our job output was increased
daily and not man was added.
Naturally, we worked like fiends,
always under the displeasure of the
general foreman, who did not like
the quality" of our work. Besides,
our gang was never complete, thanks
to fatigue; to make up for the in
complete gang, they made us work
II hours a day.
Big Boss Tyrant.
We all feared and hated the "big
boss" Our own foreman was a
fine, likeable chap who was himself
under fire for not speeding up the
men under him. The general fore
man, the ''big boss" was called "the
slave-driver," and that fits him. He
would not allow us enough men to
do the jobs right. He fired the best
man on our gang for talking back
to him and he threatened to fire an
other one for explaining why we
could not do the jobs well. When 1
asked him why he criticized me for
something I'd never seen nor heard
of before he nearly exploded and
told our foreman that he was go
ing to Sire the whole damned
bunch!" The men don't stand up
against the bosses, for an integral
part of the american" plan is the
blacklist, in Detroit, as elsewhere.
When the boss comes around they
speed-up, speak to no one and try
not to draw his attention. If he
curses them, they stand for it.
Discomfort.
There is real discomfort. The
older men are angry because they
have received no raises; the newer
men are resentful because they are

! getting less than the men before
them; all are inflamed because of
the bonus gyp. A man who had
been given watch by the company
for 10 years service almost tear
fully protested to me, "Wot dey
want give us gold watch for? Dey
cut wages for watch" Another
more violent, "This watch amt
worth a damn! And dye see them
bodies Packard junk" A south
erner told me, "Yo CANT save cent
in this damn shop" and a younger
fellow, sore at the bosses, chimed in,
yeah, an if we only had union
them god-damned bosses wouldn't
be so smart in bossin' us around"
Want Union.
! Every issue of the "Auto Work
ers' News" organ of the Auto
Workers Union, was greeted with
enthusiasm. At lunch time we'd
sneak in behind bodies and read and
discuss it. Out of all the men
talked to through all the body de-
partment found only two opposed
to unionism. We talked politics, of
course, for I passed out oropa-
ganda. They were cynical regard
ing the socialist party, counting it
in the same boat with the cohorts of
Tammany and Teapot Dome: and
they thought of the Communists as
"Reds" from Russia-although they
had more hope in the Workers
Party than in any other.
One mild, Scotch fellow said to
me: cover in the Old Country I was
member of the social-democratic
federation, but here I am more a
Communist than anything else"
A. F. L. mot Ready"
With this throbbing disccrftent
before me I dashed off a letter to
the American Federation of Labor,
asking for information and propa-
ganda for the auto workers. I am
still waiting for a reply to my let
ter, but two weeks ago I sent the
same inquiry to President Green
and he writes me that "the Amer
lean Federation of Labor is not yet
ready to make a formal report of
its endeavors to organize the auto
mobile industry. We are still ac-
lively engaged in this work in diff
ferent sections of the country, but
as you can appreciate our activities
are greatly restricted for financial
reasons" This bit of boloney comes
two years after the Detroit conven-
ton, when fat boys of the A. F. of
L. made their bluff at organization
by passing another resolution.
So Packard, like all the rest of
the motor corporations. goes on
piling up profits, speeding up the
workers and cutting wages. The
workers are waking up; faced with
g declining standard of living, and
worn out and angry, due to the ner-
vous and physical strain of the
speed, they are slowly developing a
collective consciousness. The cam
paign to organize the auto workers,
launched by the Auto Workers
Union, should have quick and
warm response from the workers.
The workers in Packard's, and all
other big plants, will welcome the
speakers and the literature. The
workers are getting ready TO make
of Detroit one of the most important
industrial battlefields in this coun-
try.

Scout characteristics
(By Herman r. Frame, B. G.
Blue Rock, o.

The third characteristic Of true
scout is that he is trustworthy. His
honor can always be trusted. This
is real characteristic of a scout,
because boy cannot be scout un-
less he is trustworthy. If boy
becomes a scout and is found not to
be trustworthy, he is Immediately
ordered to return all furnished in
sigma and is no longer scout.
Therefore you can trust a true
scout to do what he promises to do.
That is one of the II scout laws
which a boy promises to obey when
he becomes a scout.
The next characteristic of a true
scout is friendliness He is a friend
to all people and a brother to any
scout he meets. A scout can recog-
nize a brother scout even though he
has never met him before. For eX-
ample: A scout from America might
be travelling in France and might
! meet a boy who is also thought by
the American scout to be boy scout
The American scout will then give
/ the scout sign. which is the same all
over the world, and if the boy recog-
niZes it and returns the sign, the
! American scout is then sure that he
has met brother scout. If the boy
had not recognized the sign, the
American scout would then know
that the boy was not a scout.

concern is arranging to put down
the next well east of the big gasser

Testing For Oil And Gas

The Glouster Press of recent date
said:
If either gas or oil is under tho
ground in paying quantities in Ho-
mer township, the fact will be
brought out as a result of a deal
closed in this city last Friday, it is
stated. Approximately 1000 acres of
land held under option in Homer
township by the Fairfield Oil and
Gas Co. was taken over by the North
ern Producing Co. of Pennsylvania,
and that concern has already located
the first well to be drilled, 1t is de-
clared. The WELL it is stated, will
be put down on the S. r. Lowell
farm in the corner where this farm
adjoins the farms of c. A. Gardner
and Frank Fitch Active work on
drilling, it is stated, will be com
menced within the next week or ten
days. In addition to these leases
taken over in Homer township, the
Pennsylvania company has also TAX
