Speed-up Causes Loss
of Eyes and Hands

DETROIT, Mich. (LRA).-Five
lost eyes, the loss of four whole
hands, Is fingers, two thumbs and
five toes is the official accident rec
ord of only one month at General
Motors Corporation plants. Auto
mobile workers, driven at the high
est notch of speed, are exposed to
the worst kind of accident hazards.
One worker lost an eye when a
starting crank from a gas-electric
shop truck flew out of the opening
Another worker lost an eye from q
chip of wood thrown out by wood
hog or pulverizing machine. Other
workers eyes were destroyed by
pieces from shattered drills, flying
sheet metal and chips of steel.
Machine Unprotected.
A worker lost his hand under the
blades of an electric fan. A press
operator slipped and caught his
hand under the dies of a press op-
Grated on the "catch- stroke" method.
Another press operator lost his
hand while working on die be-
hind press when another operator,
not knowing he was there, tripped
the press. A punch press operator
was removing material from a die
when the press repeated and cut off
his hand.
Managers were directly to blame
for these terrible accidents, the
company admits, because condi-
tions existed and men were work
ing in manner that should not be
permitted under careful instruction
and training" In a drive to set a
record for high production, the su-
perintendents in one month threw
out on to the industrial scrap heap
50 men, manned for life.
Tremendous Speed Up.
The fierce drive for production in
the plants of General Motors and all
the other automobile plants, de-
scribed in Durn's Labor and Auto
is resulting in increasing
speedup in all departments. A
committee of the American Engi-
neering Council is quoted in that
book as stating that "the increased
seriousness of accidents during the
last few years has been the direct
result of the increased intensity of
industrial activity during that
period"
This report also states that
forces inherent in mechanization
itself and in the consequent speed
ing up of industry have a direct
to increase the seriousness
Of accidents"
The official confidential reports
Of the General Motors Corporation,
as well as those of Ford, Chrysler,
Packard, Nash and other companies
make clear this tendency for ration
allied mass production to increase
The number and seriousness of acct
dents.

Central Committee It's First Session. Elects Directing officer
Labor Defender Is Militant
PAPER Read by Mil Strikers

A telegram from Fred Beal from

Textile Workers Union in the textile
field in Tennessee, declared: MANY

out the textile region of North and

Karl Reeve, editor of the Labor
Defender, again contributes an ar
ticle on the Southern strike, Gas

treacherous role of the American
Federation of Labor, is brought out,
and the numerous lessons that the
Gas.onia strikers have learned
through bitter struggle.
The June issue of the Labor De-
fender is one that deals primarily
with anti-fascism. A Markoff, the
delegate to the first Inter-
national Anti-Fascist Congress that
was recently held in Berlin, writes
on the political significance of this
Congress, at which 240 delegates

Section

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 30.-The
Pittsburgh Section of the Workers
International Relief was formed here
at a conference of labor organiza-
tons, trade unions, fraternal organi-
cations, the Communist Party and
Communist Youth League.
An Executive Committee, consist
ing of E. P. Cush, chairman; Fran
ces Plotkin, secretary; M. R. Davis;
q. Getzels; M. Jenkins; V. Kemeno-
vich and M. A. Seares, was selected
to carry out the work and was au-
thorized to begin an immediate
drive to raise funds for the striking
textile workers of the South and the
unemployed and striking miners of
Western Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia.
There is great need for relief in
this part of the country, the new
local reports. Many of the miners
have not yet secured work since the
strike which lasted more than a year.
Unemployment is rife throughout
the mining fields. Small strikes
against wage-cuts and discrimina-
ton, which are taking place in many
localities, demand immediate RELIEF,
the Workers international Relief of
Pittsburgh states. 1t will make
special efforts to help the I'M
employed and striking miners. Funds

BUILDING TRADE
PROCRESSIvES
FOR UNITY MEET
Chicago Group Elects
Four to Cleveland

CHICAGO, May 3O.-Four dele
gates to the Trade Union Unity
Convention, to meet Aug. 81 in
Cleveland, were elected by the Pro-
gressive Building Trades Workers
of Chicago, in their meeting Friday.
There were over a hundred progress
sive members of the building trades
unions of this city.
The meeting also elected a new
executive committee for the P. B.
T. W., and ten delegates to city
convention.
Kjar Reports.
The meeting spent much time
hearing and discussing the report
Of Trade Union Educational League
representative Kjar, who described
the situation here and outlined a
policy for the future. Kjar de-
scribed the organization of the T..
U. E. L., and the three periods
through which American industry
went after the war, the corruption
during the visit of Samuel Gompers
Of the pink progressives in the Chi
cago labor movement to deep yell
low, and the present situation.
He reviewed briefly the forma-
tons and struggles of the three new
unions already existing, the miners,
textile and needle trades unions.
Fighting Programs.
He pictured conditions obtaining
in the building trades in Chicago.
To meet the worsening conditions
we have the building trades section
of the T. U. E. L. and as a last
resort new unions.
"For the present our task" said
Kjar, "is TO widen our sphere of in
fluence among the rank and file,
develop programs for betterment
and fight for those programs, Sc
cure greater theological leadership
over the rank and file, ALLEVIATE the
influence of the bureaucracy with
the membership"
A city convention of the progress
sive groups and the new unions is
called to create a militant city CEN
trail body. The Cleveland conven-
ton is to create a national central
body. These central bodies are
necessary to coordinate the work
Of organizing the unorganized Ia
crying need, with 3G,000,000 wage
workers in the country and less than
three million in any kind of trade
union). Central bodies will be able
to bring the aid and resources Of all
to each and each to all.
Kjar told of how the Progressive
Building Trades Workers of Chicago
were an integral part of the Red
international of Labor Unions. He
pictured the role and function of the
w. I. R. and International Labor
Defence in present and future
struggles. He linked up struggles
in the Chicago building trades
unions with the international situa-
ton and the fast approaching next
world war and what our position
should be when that comes.

Strike May Tie Up
Huge Plant Making
Airplanes for War

LONDON (By MaiD Discomfort
is rife among the workers at the
huge Handley-Page airplane factory,
engaged in making war planes. The
plant is Hendon. Shop stewards,
seeking to discuss with the manage
ment the grading system and pre-
MUM bonus prices, were refused an
interview. The chairman of the
works committee was then dismissed
without a reason, and the workers
became disguised with any further
attempts to see the bosses. Urged
by the minority movement of the
London metal workers, the strikers
are planning a strike.

 Alexander Jamie. chief of the Washington prohibition unit and his undercover agents are given credit for the expose of the diversion.
 Officials Partly Deny Story
 However, Mr. Jamie told the As sociated Press that AS far as ] know, there isn't any particular truth to the report
 On the other hand, United States District Attorney George l.. 0. John son gave both denial and admission, saying:
 "What there is to it is before the grand jury and cannot be discussed. But l can say that what there IS to it is nothing at all like the reports in the papers.

 3 The cardinal. who is v years old. ,has been considering retiring from his duties as secretary of state for some time.
 Vatican circles. and the pope him. self, consider that Cardinal Gas .parri reached in his office the high est position ever attained, being generally compared with the noted Cardinal Consalvi, papal secretary of state, who dealt with Napoleon ]. 4. Begged to Retain Post .a The cardinal resigned some time ago and again insisted on leaving his post Ut the end of 1928. but the pontiff begged him to remain long ser, wishing that he might complete ethe work he had already begun of Bringing about a ConCiliation be- tween the church and state in Italy.
 
 Cardinal Gasparri once more re- mnded the pope of his desire to re- tire. It was then that the pontiif, having to choose q successor, fixed on Cardinal PacclH. then papal nuncio to Germany, who had shown brilliant diplomatic gifts. He com lnunicated his choice to Cardinal 'NGasparri who thoroughly approved ;. of Cardinal PaCelli, who had work E cd under him and was one of his most favoritc pupils"
