1t is significant to note that the
story from which the above quota
tons are taken, which was featured
as first page top story in the New
York Telegram yesterday, was COM
pletedly suppressed in the later edi-
tons of the same paper Not a
word is mentioned about it in the
later editions and in its place there
appeared a brief United Press
dispatch from Washington report
ing that the State Department said
that "any military action of the
United States in China would be d.
rected solely toward supporting our
citizens there and that no co-opera-
ton whatever with the nationalists
in their war against bandits was
contemplated"
Evidently Mr. Misselwitz has spill
ed too many beans, and has been
too flank in his story.

Daily Worker:
The slave driving General Motors

in this town. At the Chevrolet
Fisher Body plant here the workers
work twice as fast as they did last
year and they make between SIS and
Sc day (if they are lucky to have
work.. This is exactly half of what
they were getting year ago. Now
they are working only four days
week. Many have been laid off
altogether. We are expecting an
other big lay-off in short time.
Had Walkout.
At the beginning of the year the
workers had walkout in some de-
partment. But it was not organized
very well and when the workers
had a meeting with the bosses those
that spoke were fired Immediately.
The rest of the workers got scared
and went back to work. Now the
workers are again getting tired of
the rotten conditions. Already so of
the workers are buying the Daily
Worker which is the only paper that
tells them how to organize into the
militant Auto Workers Union. These
workers see that the Daily is the
only real workers paper.
Workers in Tarrytown in the
Chevrolet and Fisher Body must not
let the bosses cut their wages, speed
them up, and lay them off whenever
the bosses want to. Start building
shop committees of fighting work
ers. Keep the rats and bosses stools
out of the shop committees. Join
the Auto Workers Union that has

MOSCOW QPS).-The Supreme
Economic Council of the Soviet
Union IS at present engaged in
pverhauling the Five-Year Plan of
industrial construction in accord
.ance with the instructions of the
Sixteenth Congress of the Commu-
.nist Party of the Soviet Union. In
creased attention will be paid to the
manufacturing industry. This year
the heavy industry of the Soviet
Union exceeded the level of produc-
.tion laid down in the Five-Year
Plan for the economic-year 1928
by la per cent and thus carried
out its Five-Year Plan in three
years. The manufacturing industry
however, has reached only 72.4 per
cent this year of the level of pro-
duction fixed in the Five-Year Plan
for 1928. 1t is therefore not be-
hind in the development, but does
not keep pace with the rapid pro-
gress of heavy industry.

1000 DEMONSTRATE IN
IJSKECON, AUGUST !

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. THE
In spite of police refusal to grant a
permit, 1000 workers, mostly unem-
ployed, came to Hackley Park on
August 1, to demand "Work or
Wages" and to protest the bosses
war preparations. Dolke, chairman
of the Muskegon Council of Unem-
ployed, opened the meeting. There
were two speakers, both of whom
were enthusiastically applauded.
Many Negroes, women and children
attended and listened attentively.
After the meeting a group walked
over to the meeting place of the
Unemployed Council, and although
there were no chairs to sit on, stood
around.

kind of bootleg" wage mainte-
nance, but their congratulations
cannot be very sincere. AS the
country works further into the
real business of reinstating in
dustry on its old basis, it will
necessarily find that re-adjust-
ment to new scale of prices is
inevitable. The great reductions
that have taken place in the past
eight months already make that
unavoidable"
This is the plan of the bosses, a
general attack against the standard
of living of all workers, while I'M
employment grows apace.
The wage-cutting drive stresses
more than ever the Importance of
organizing in all shops, factories
mines, mills and workers organiza-
tions to force the adoption of the
Workers Social Insurance Bill by
congress.
The Bill provides for social in
surance for all unemployed work
ers, to be paid first by transferring
all war preparation funds to UNI
employment insurance; by levy
on all fortunes over $4,000 and a
graduated income tax on incomes
of $4,000 and over. The unemployed
workers would receive a minimum
of $500 per week.
Unemployed and employed work
ers-both are affected by the dras-
tic wage-cut drives and growing
unemployed - must mobilize for

eminent. The workers must close
their ranks and sharpen the fight

Textile Workers Show
Solidarity
Charlotte, N. c.

Charlotte, N. G.
Dear Comrades:
Some of the locals of the National
Textile Workers Union and the In
ternational Labor Defense here in
Charlotte and Gastonia just held
their first picnic in solidarity with
the English and French textile
strikers who are putting up the
most militant struggle against their
oppressors of any section of the
country at the present time.
One year ago some of US did not
know that there was any textile
workers-only in New England
states and the South but thanks to
the N.T.W.U. we have learned that
we are not all the slaves in the
world.
Will Vote Communist.
At our picnic we had several
speakers who mentioned other sec
tons of the country where we have
fellow workers and comrades who
need our support and solidarity.
We have learned through the N.
T.W.U. that there is a union that
will fight for the workers and not
for the bosses and from the spirit
shown today in the gathering of our
picnic we can accomplish what the
workers have done in the Soviet
Union, where workers run things
themselves.
When the speakers announced that
our Party, the Communist Party,
was running candidates for political
offices the applause was deafening.
Then the most backward workers
would come forward and show some
kind of energy to help bring the
change about.
The Boot for Bulwinkle.
Although we had present "a mem
bers of the Committee of 100 from
Gastpnia who looked mighty sick
from their past actions, even these
applauded when the speakers said
the Communist Party was running
a man against Major Bulwinkle for
office. For Bulwinkle had made a
statement that if the people wanted
the Communists out of the South
to have him elected and he would
see that they went. But the workers
seem to think that Bulwinkle will
have to go and not the Communist
Party.
For Solidarity.
A plea from the southern work.
ers goes through this letter to all
workers to join hands in some left
wing union and stand behind the
textile strikers in England, France
and all over the country, to be ready
to defend the Soviet Union and to
overthrow their own boss govern
ment and establish a Soviet Repub-
lie here and in all imperialist coun-
tries.
Southern workers are with all
workers. Let's go to work and fight
and not starve. Altogether, to de-
mand the war budget for unem-
ployed relief and other money such
as Fish's unlimited funds to inves-
tigate the activities of us Reds.

Grated Upon, Hotel Work
ers Work Long Stretches
Buffalo, N. Y.

NAAS'@S' 49,
Daily Worker:
1t is prevailing opinion among
hotel workers in general that this
season is a very poor one in COM
parison with those of previous years.
We find less tourists travelling then
ever before. Also we experience the
fact that far less statesmen are on
the road today, showing only too
well that the big bosses are unable
to finance their missionary work
ers.
We work II hours a day; two
watches; the penalty for missing
a watch is so cents. Besides this
you are obliged to kick in two dol
lars per month to the superinten-
dent of service.
With tips to depend upon mainly,
and no tourists travelling, one is
lucky to get by. And after paying
$50 a month kick in to the grafters,
you're lucky to have sufficient
funds left to provide yourself with
the necessities for existence.
Space limits me to non-elaboration
of details stated above, but will say
that workers here are having to
tolerate unbearable conditions, tho
they are far from being as fright
full as those endured by basic work
ers in the hell holes of industry.
Kick-in Graft System.
In our hotel in particular, the pre-
vailing word is "kick in" and the
bell boys do, or out they go. If they
go out to eat it costs them a dime;
if they're late, 10 cents, Is cents
or rs cents; if they go out to the
drug store or fruit store another
thin dime must go the way of the
captain, a typical stoolie of the
bosses. Besides the captain gets
''kick in" on every bottle that's sold
in the place.
This captain in particular is a
most slovenly individual, human
leech, who besides extracting every
nickel or dime from you that
professional blood sucker like him
can get, delights in tormenting one
with dirty wise cracks and repeated
call downs. He has incurred through
his beastly treatment several nom
de-plumes, such as "Old Pig Face"
"Sour Faced Shrimp" "Pot Bellied
Nincompoop" and many other ap-
propriate acid phrases.
Vicious Straw Boss.
He swaggers around like a Napo-
leon, for he's shrimp in size and
surrounds himself with pompous
airs, not realizing that tends to
make microscopic his pygmy per-
sonality. The writer thinks he'd
make a good keeper on a slave ship
bound for Devils Island.
Then there is another clerk who
extends you the same refined treat
ment. He makes the guests happy,
the help sad, and he's dumber than
a pig in colony of peacocks. He
should be clerking in some country
hotel where they still stick the pin
in potato.
1t IS not my purpose to discuss
personalities, but they are one of
the forms of the present evil system
and will go to the discard with it

INSTALMENT PLAN

NEWARK, N. j., Aug. IA
crack in the installment buying
system, due to the crisis and grow
ing unemployment, was revealed
yesterday by the filing of a bank
ruptcy petition by Albert Leon &
Son, furniture dealers of this city.
The ground for bankruptcy was
given as $1,OOO,OO0 in furniture sold
on installments, on which no col
lection could be made. AS unem-
ployment grows worse, this situa-
ton will be multiplied, with IN
creased strain on the banks, which
in many instances show weakness
which the capitalist press tries to
cover up.

Mass Protest.
Maher admitted that there were
bundles of" resolutions from work
ers all over the country demanding
the release of the jobless leaders.
He did not cad any of them. He
read only a few of the NEARLY 1907
petitions from liberals: Forrest
Bailey, John Haynes Holmes, Sim
clair, etc, all protesting the severity
of the sentences.
Maher distributed mimeographed
copies of letter sent the commits
sion by James Walker, mayor of
New York. The letter throughout
90 per cent of it's length dealt with
the appearance of the jobless lead
ers before the board of estimates,
and Walkers Indignation at what
they said. Then he said he had
almost forgotten the incident be-
Sore the board of estimates () and
finished by saying that he would not
object to parole, but: at may be as

which they were convicted and that
they will be informed that they will
be held legally responsible for any
violations Of their paroles"

TO QUIT RAMBLING

SOUTH BEND. Ind, August 30.-The
fierce cossacks of Notre Dame, who for
25 years have raided up and down the
foot ball world, soon will give up their
Nomadic habits and settle down behind
their own ramparts of stone and steel
ready TO repel all invaders.
Notre Danes new stadium virtually
is completed and will be finished In
ample time for the opening of the
1880 season against Southern Methodist
on october 4.
Notre Danes Stadium is a bowl
shaped structure of reinforced concrete
faced with red brick and patterned
much after Michigan's arena. 1t will
have $4,000 permanent seats with pro-
visions for an enlarged capacity should
conditions ever demand more. It will
be known as Notre Dame Stadium
The playing field in the new stadium
already is emerald green and smooth
as glass.
The stadium was built at a cost of
$3.50, 1000 and its foot ball teams must
pay the bill for only the sale of boxes
for 10-year period was undertaken as
an underwriting scheme. The stadium
was built solely for foot ball games and
thereeare no facilities for track or other
sports connected with it.
In the future Notre Dame will play
all opponents on a strictly home and
home basis with the exception of the
Army. The Cadets game will be a
permanent New York fixtuAe and occa-
sionally the Raiders will visit Chicago
for big intersectional game.
