The Cleveland bulletin, states as follows:
"The DO of Detroit informs US that he was

This only shows that Detroit is awakened
to the situations which confronts them. Let
compare forces. The majority of the De-
troit members never had real fight. Our
ranks are different. When we speak, we speak
the language of the coal miners, the steel
workers, etc. They have all been engaged in
many severe struggles against the bosses. De-,
troit is city of Ford's wage slaves who never
had real struggle against their bosses. Now
the question is, "Wil the Detroit auto work
crs defeat the brave red fighters of the coal
and steel industries of Ohio?' We say, NO.
And we will prove it by our actions.

Letter From a Workers. Child

Dear Comrade Editor:
In our school we have to go to church every
Wednesday because the principal wants us to.
And when we ave in church, the teachers say
we ought to be thankful for our homes, and
our mothers and fathers. But lots of children
don't have mother or father because they are
killed by the BOSSES
And they say that you should bring some
money every time you come, to give to god.
But when the priest gets it, he just puts it in
bank, or in his pocket and goes around in
his machine to have good time.
They want to make money, so they won't have
to 60 to a mine and get killed. But Pm MOI
going to give them money when l need it my.
self, to buy clothing.
Your friend,
Bertha Brosky, age IL.

Lead Coal Miners.

Our Party must prepare to help give leader
ship to the struggle of the hard-coal miners in
September, 1880, when the agreement expires.
This must be the main orientation of our Party.
To accomplish this end, leaflets and bulletins
must be issued, mine nuclei of the Party estab-
lished, new, young native elements must be
won for our Party The National Miners
Union must be built up. The Party must con-
duct an energetic struggle against all rem
nants of the Right danger in the anthracite
which expresses itself in passivity; fear to
join the NMU, fear to recruit new members
for the Party, work limited to fraternal socie
ties at the expense of all other Party work;
underestimation of the rehabilitation of the
hard-coal miners, etc.
Our Party is forging ahead. 1t has great
tasks to perform. And with cleansed, united
ranks, it will march forward to build the Party
in the anthracite.

stated, "Let's hope that the miners are being
radicalized the way that Comrade Frankfeld
told us today"
Plenum Decisions.
The Penum, in spite of the fact that the re-
ports were not discussed sufficiently, that the
concrete problems were not taken up in detail,
nevertheless showed and accomplished the fol-
lowing:
% 1t proved conclusively that the men,
bership and leading functionaries of the an
thracite support the Party line The votes
were 20 for the Party resolution-11 against,
2 abstentions. And the Lovestonetes had a
maximum mobilization of their followers at
the Plenum.
(2) 1t revealed the complete political bank
ruptcy of the Lovestone group. All of the
arguments advanced were ISLANDERS against
the Party and the Comintern; and lies and
rumors spread by the Lovestone center in N. Y.
(3) The Party in the anthracite was firmly
consolidated behind the line of the Gee. The
, Party Plenum continued its work in most
unified fashion, after the Lovestoneites walked
out of the Penum. new sub-district COM
mittee of Is was elected consisting of seven
miners, two railroad workers, cook, one
housewife, the Lithuanian and LID organizers,
the YCL rep. and the sub-D.O. The elections
were unanimous.
az The Party was reorentated to the new
line of the Comintern, made to realize the
new situation existing in the country as a
whole, and in the anthracite, and the tasks of
the Party discussed-even if done in a gen.
eral fashion.
Since the Plenum, discussions have taken
place in three Party units the Plenum of
the Gee. The vote to date is 81 supporting
and endorsing the thesis of the Gee, and only
l abstention. The remaining units will have
discussions in the immediate period, and units
like Shenandoah, Minersvie, McAdoo, ETC.,
will undoubtedly unanimously support the
Party line.
The Party in the anthracite is getting down
to work. Already, the Party finds itself at
the head of various movements amongst the
workers. In Tamaqua, Pa, where thousands of
workers are in revolt against the Lewis-Hart-
nearby machine, the Party has played posi-
tive role in developing this revolt into the
NMU channels. In Scranton, Pa, small de-
partment strike of textile workers was lead
by the NTWU; and the Party and League have
helped give leadership to this struggle. Two
successful 18th Anniversary Mass Meetings
were held in Wilkes Barre and Scranton All
of these activities are only beginning-be-
cause the Party in the anthracite faces great
struggles ahead.

BY PETER HAGELIAS.

THE unemployment situation is already
severe. 1t has reached the point where our
Communist Party must take definite steps in
the direction to Organize the unemployed and
connect up their struggle with the struggle of
the employed" workers. The unemployment
question is of great Importance for our revo-
lutionary struggle against capitalist rational
ization and it must become from now on one
of the basic tasks of our Party
The Wall Street crash has certainly had its
effect upon the whole economic conditions of
the country. In the last three or four weeks
the unemployment has become more serious.
Economic crisis and sharpened class struggles
is the characteristic of the present period.
Intensification of Labor.
Generally speaking, naturalization of indus
try creates unemployment. But if we want to
understand the nature of the present unenl-
ployment, in order. to make it clear to the
workers and mobilize them for struggle, it
is necessary that we understand all the de-
tails and the different forms of the rational
ization process. Many comrades who are not
closely connected with industry have developed
the false idea that because introduction of new
machinery creates unemployment this, accord
ing to their judgment, is decentralization" and
that is all. This is absolutely wrong. Capt.
talist naturalization is not only introduction of
new machinery or technical improvements in
the means of production. This is the capitalist
conception of naturalization, and Lovestone's
theory of heightened productivity of labor due
to the technical advance" and the second in
dustrial revolution" This is only technical
progress which we cannot fight against. Ra-
tional alton means intensification of labor for
every worker through different forms and
methods
First of all, let us examine the results of
the new and more developed machinery which
the bosses are always trying to introduce in
the textile industry. For example, in the
picker room of cotton mill short time ago,
they had in that room 8 separate machines,
breaker, picker, and intermediate. Two work.
were working on each machine. Now we
find that all three machines are combined in
one machine by conveyor belts and the result
is that only two workers do the work of six,
four workers being thrown out In the card

Struggles Grow.

Speed-up through Standardization and other
schemes, and also the brutal speed-up where
the machines are increased without the adding
of any help, or by adjusting the machinery, or
the speed of the machines, where the worker
is forced to go on working with the same speed
of the machine both of these speed-ups reduce
to a minimum the amount of workers en-
ployed, and create severe unemployment. Fur
thermore, besides the Standardization in the
weave room, the speed of each loom was in
creased to $50 picks per minute. There are
many other forms of nhuman brutal speedup
in all departments of the mills.
Capitalist naturalization creates permanent
unemployment which takes on more and more
a mass character. 1t sharpens the contradic-
tons of capitalism, and due to the worsenng
of their conditions the workers are aroused to
struggle.
In New Bedford today, as result of this
naturalization, find that more than 10000
workers are unemployed. Out Of this number,
we estimate that there are to 6 thousand
workers permanently unemployed. It is the
task of our Party to take steps Immediately
for the organization Of the unemployed work.
ers and to mobilize them for struggle.

REPORT ON THE UNEMPLOY-
MENT SITUATION

room the new vacuum machine took the place
of many workers The vacuum machine cleans
the accumulated dust from the card in min
ute a also brings all the dust into another
room without any human labor. The electric
spooler is another highly developed technical
machine which throws out of work out of
10 workers. In the weave room, where few
years ago worker was running only or
looms, today we find that weaver runs 40
to 60 looms
AS we see, according to the above facts, new
and more developed machinery creates unem-
ployment, but this is not tn real form of
capitalist naturalization, and certainly it is not
the main source for the unemployment.
Out on the Streets.
Also, we must not forget the results of the
competition, which mems mergers and CONSOLE
dations. Under merger, one mill is shut
down. where the other mill or plants are pro-
duc.ag New machinery is installed in place
Of the old-the old machinery is re-arranged
and set up scientifically in order to produce a
maximum amount of cloth with less workers.
In the last two years, in Fall River, Mass,
more than 10000 workers were thrown out of
work permanently on account of the mergers
many plants shut down completely. In New
Bedford, only three or four days ago, the
Acushnet Mill closed down completey-1,0 900
workers at once find themselves out on the
streets.
There are two more forms which in my
opinion are the real forms of the ratonaliza-
tion in the textile industry, which, besides in
creasing unemployment, that is taking on
permanent mass character at the present time,
is draining the physical strength of the work
ers, robbing them of their skill and bringing
them into the ranks of the semi-sklled and I'M
skilled workers. These two forms stand
ardization and speed-up. Under the standard
ization system, two things are taking place:
(1) many workers are thrown out of work per-
manently; ~ the worker who remains on the
job has to run twice or three times as many
machines. For example: In many mills in
New Bedford, the spinners are working on "a
frames instead of IL, the carders are working
on 80 cards instead of 16, speeder tenders are
working on speeders instead of 2, and so on
down the line. Each operator is part of the
machine that he works on--all day he keeps
performing only one task The worker becomes
altogether mechanical

YOUNG TARHEEL STAR
 SIGNED BY PIRATES

GREENSBORO, N. C., July h. Floyd "Whitey" Young, 21-year-old baseball player who couldn't make the grade for the High Point, N. C., club of the Piedmont league, has just been purchased by the Pitts burgh Pirates.
 Out for his first year as a pro- fessional, Young has been burning things up for the Greensboro club Of the Piedmont, where he has been playing since the High Point club released him outright.
 Young received several weeks tryout at High Point and was then invited to find himself a job. Char lie Carroll, manager of the Greens boro club, had seen the youngster in action, and promptly got his name on the dotted line for the Greensboro outfit.

ST. LOUIS, July Il. W h e n Douthit goes after them he gets them.
 That's what they say in St. Louis about the Cardinals great little centerfielder who is out ahead of most of the major league center gardeners again this year.
 Douthit has been central fig ure in the splendid defensive play of the Red Birds during their re- markable showing of the last four years.
 The first big league player to make 100 hits in 1928, Douthit finished the season with more as- sists and putouts combined than any outfielder in either league. He is gathering them in just as regu- larly this year and again is helping those celebrated Cardinals make a close pennant race in the National league.
 Last year Douthit, whose full name is Taylor Lee Douthit, ac- cepted 557 chances. This was 121 more chances than was credited to Earl Combs, king of American league outfielders.
 Taylor had SAT putouts and 10 as- sists. His closest competitor for defensive honors among National league outfielders was Lloyd Waner, Pittsburgh flash, who made good in 433 chances.
 Douthit slumped badly in batting toward the close of 1928, but fin- ished with an average of 295. His batting eye still was bad during the worlds series, in which he hit only .091, but the fleet Arkansas lad wiped out memories of that poor showing with his 1929 come back.
 Near the mid-June mark, he led the American league in runs scored with 51 to his credit and was hit ting the ball at 1929 clip.
