ROTE FAHNE HASFICHT REPUBLIC
PROOF or ARMY STEEL BOSSES
FASCIST COMBINE SHOP COMMITTEE
The Terrible Speed-up
Causes Accidents
CBy a Worker Correspondent


YOUNGSTOWN, O., (By MaiD
In order to make more profits the
Republic Iron and Steel bosses have
established two shifts instead of the
three shifts we had before and now
we have to slave ten and twelve
and a half hours a day.
They prefer to have US work
longer hours to make US believe we
are making higher wages. They
wouldn't pay US higher wages so
that we could make living working
less hours.
A terrible speed-up system has
been put in effect. especially in the
coke works, blast furnace and the
bar mill. Many bad accidents re-
suited. When hurt we must first
see the boss and we can't stay in
a hospital longer than two weeks
There is a safety" committee but
no worker knows who is on this
committee. 1t surely doesn't repre-
sent US workers. No precautions
are ever taken until someone is hurt
or killed. And this committee is
composed to prevent accidents. 1t
serves the company by making be-
lieve there is safety committee.
Then there is a company organ
ization-the bosses shop committee
This must be fought against. It's
purpose is to make the workers
think that they have something to
say in the management. The only
thing taken up at its weekly meet
ings is how to drive US faster.
In the tube mill the men work
12H hours on the night shift and
are supposed to get a bonus. But
we never know how much we are
to get. They give us what they
please-sometimes hand us Is cents
and sometimes more.
This bonus system is very profit
able for the company. We work Ike
hell to make a little more.
Let US organize a shop committee
of our own and lay the basis fol-
a union that will fight for better
conditions, for a seven-hour day, a
five-day week, against speed-up and
for higher wages.

IRRIGON, Ore. (By MaiD.--The
wages of the workers of Union Paei-

If the company desires to make US

Wage Cuts for Young

PONTIAC, Mich. (By Mall y
The Pontiac Oakland plant in Pom
tiac, Mich, has cut the wages of
their workers from 70 and IS to So
cents an hour. This cut affects many
departments.
The workers are seething over
this new attack of the company on
their wages. Especially is this so
in the foundry, where the cut took
place first, from go to 46 cents per
hour and in many cases to less.
The Auto Workers Union is right
on the spot preparing the workers
for determined resistance to this
cut. The leaflets issued by the
union explain that this is not only
taking place in Pontiac but through
out the entire industry and the
country. 1t also called them to a
meeting Thursday, September 10 to
organize and fight back.
More wage-cuts affecting other
departments took effect on Monday,

CHANCELLOR out,
SOCIALISTS ARE.
YIELDING AGAIN
Street Fights Started;
Workers Winning
(Wireless to Inprecorr.)


VIENNA, Austria, Sept. 25.-The
Communist Party organ, Rote
Fahne, calls on the workers today
to oppose the Heimwehr march on
Vienna, which is scheduled for Sept
20, by street demonstrations, by a
political mass strike, and calls on
the transport workers to refuse to
carry fascist contingents over the
railroads and motor lines. "Arm
the proletariat' is a main demand
of the Communists.
"A struggle has begun" Rote
Fahne sums up its article, (which
will end either with a fascist or a
proletarian dictatorship in Austria.
There were fights between work.
ers and the Austrian fascists in the
streets of Vienna, and also of Graz,
Heimwehr stronghold. But the
workers won in both places.
Meanwhile the active betrayal of
the Austrian workers into a fascist
dictatorship continue both on the
part of the conservative national
government and the social demo-
Gratis.
The United Press cabled yester-
day that Chancellor Ernst Streeru-
WITT had resigned, and that it was
considered certain in Vienna that
Johann Schober, president of the
Austrian police force, which has
about 10000 armed and drilled gen.
darmes, would succeed him.
The resignation of Streeruwitz is
obviously part of the program of
his cabinet to clear the way for a
fascist regime. He has already sub
mitted to parliament a proposition
to change the constitution into fas-
cist forms, as demanded by the
Heimwehr, the organized military
form of the fascist movement in
Austria.
The Heimwehr openly announces
its plans to march on the 29th from
three directions on Vienna, for the
violent overthrow of the existing
constitution if the changes are not
made. This is in imitation of Mus
solini's famous march on Rome, in
which, as today in Austria, the gov
eminent gave tacit assistance to the
revolution"
The social democrats continue, but
already in milder language, to speak
of forceful resistance. This is their
old familiar tactics in the 1927
demonstrations, in which they first
demanded revolt, then talked of gen.
eral strike, then of partial strike,
and then of parade only. On that
occasion the workers, following the
leadership of the Communist Party
seized by force large part OF
Vienna, destroyed some of the min
istry buildings, and almost started a
revolution.
Today the Communist Party, even
though the government carries on a
series of raids and arrests, suppress
sion of Rhote Fahne of Vienna, etc.,
are the sole force determinedly re-
sisting fascism and it's imminent az.
tempt to seize power openly. A
conference of all Communist Parties
of Central Europe in Constance last
week decided on tactics.

in using the company union trick.
They were the leaders in the en-
ployers' drive to break down the
48-hour system in Providence. The
54-hour week was introduced last
year for 1000 employees of its
Providence mill, where the workers
had struck militantly two years be-
fore. At the time of the lengthcn-
ing Of hours, a procedure immedia-
tely followed by other employers of
the region, company union aided
the bosses. 1t was called the "Man-
vile Benefit Association" and was
enthusiastic about the 54-hour
week.
Apparently the present move by
the former head of the North Caro-
lima Federation Of Labor for the
formation of company union
throughout the textile region of the
South, is clever extension of the
old Manville-Jenckes policy.
Excuses Used.
Company unionism appeared in
Providence, as it does now in North
Carolina, under slogans of "inde-
pendence," the workers running
their own affairs without interior
ence by OUTSIDERS" etc. In practice
this means that workers in a COM
pany union merely isolate them
selves from other workers whose
support they need in labor strug-
giles, an dthat instead of solidarity
of labor throughout the industry and
with the workers in othe rindus-
tries, they have an organization run
by the bosses in their own shops.
Company unions will always be con-
trolled by the bosses who create
them, or by direct agents Of the
bosses. There has never been an
exception to this.

Workers Beat Reaction
In Street Fights
(Wireless by Inprecorr.)

BERLIN, Germany, Sept. 25.-
The Rote Fahne, German Commu-
mist Party official organ, is pub
fishing sensational disclosures prov
ing irrefutably the close coopera-
ton between the reactionary Ger
man putschists and the Reichwehr
| government army. 1t supports its
disclosures with documents. The
chief of the war office, General Won
Hammerstein, is deeply compro-
missed.
The minister of the Reichswehr
(the organized militia) yesterday
attempted to reply to the proofs
printed in the Rote Fahne, Commu-
mist Party paper, and substantiated
by documents, that there were in
innate connections between the re-
dictionary Putschists and the Reich
swehr officers. Minister Dement,
does not attempt to deny the con-
nections, but strives to present them
as harmless.
Exposures Continue.
The Reichswehr failed to COM
mence its often threatened prosecu-
ton against the Rote Fahne for
Islander" because of these ex-
posures.
Rote Fahne challenges the Reich
swehr minister to start proceedings
and continues the disclosures by
publication of a new letter from a
high Reichswehr officer in East
Prussia to the general in chief of
the Reichswehr, Won Heye.
The German nationalists who are
gathered around the industrial capt.
talist, financier, and newspaper
owner, Hugenberg, are now conduct
ing demagogic, chauvinistic cam
paign against the Young Plan, but
have suffered an theological fiasco
as result of disclosures in Stresse-
mann's party organ, which shows
the nationalist were prepared dur
ing the Paris negotiations to make
greater concessions to the arch
enemy, France, than representatives
of the policy of Franco-German
rapprochement.

Numerous collisions are taking
place between fascist organizations
and the workers. There was fight
ing here Sunday. In the Hirsch-
garten, a suburb of Berlin, a troop
of fascists attacked IL workers on
bicycles. The fascists attacked a
small party of the Reichsbanner in
the suburb of Rahnsdorf. But the
fascist demonstration in the work
ers quarter of Neukoelln was a COM
plete fiasco. There fights occurred
during which the fascists used guns.
The fascist leader Goebbels was
barely saved by the police from the
aroused workers.
