FACTS SPIKE LYING
REPORTS OF INCREASE
IN AUTO OUTPUT
All Plants Run On Sharply Reduced Schedules;
Production Will Not Go Up in August
Basic Reasons For Crisis in Auto Industry
Worse; Foreign Sales Go Down

One of the biggest lies published
by the capitalist press on the crisis
in recent months, is the story about
10000 auto workers in Detroit,
who were laid off in June, were
called back to work. This is pure
fakery. Reports from Detroit show
only a few workers were taken back
at Ford, Buick, Graham-Paige, and
elsewhere. Even here production
will go on at slower pace than in
July, when for three weeks most
Of the plants were closed.
The latest issue of the CONNER
cial & Financial Chronicle admits
that auto production in August will
be as low as it was in July.
"The automobile industry is off
for the whole half year." says the
New York Times of Aug. 4. PRO
duction was very light last month,
and will not be much yreater this
month 1t is always light in No
vember and December, and that
leaves only September and October
as possibilities"
Thus, the real facts about the sit
uation in the automobile industry is
hidden in the financial section of
the capitalist newspapers while on
the front pages, to fool the work

WARNS BOSSES
OF Reds SUCCESS
AMONG NEGROES
Sees Leftward Swing
of Negro Toilers

Declaring that activities of the
Reds among Negroes will be
squelched only when the govern
ment itself removes the causes
which makes such propaganda eff
fectiYe," John w. Youngsblood, in
an article in the Boston Chronicle,
a Negro newspaper, unintentionally
gives Communist activities and sue
cesses among the Negro masses a
long lease of life, since it is certain
that Negro oppression will never be
abolished by the capitalist govern
ment, but only by the overthrow of
the capitalist system by the revolu-
tionary workers, black and white,
under the leadership of the Com
munist Party. Youngsblood, in an
effort to warn the capitalists that
for the sake of capitalism more
crumbs must be thrown the way of
the Negro petty bourgeoisie, gives
the following examples as some of
the reasons for Communist sue
cesses:
"In Baltimore, a Negro, Samuel
Parker, unemployed longshoreman,
has been named by the Communists
to head the ticket as candidate for
governor of Maryland. Miss Lena
Lipman, white needle trades
worker, is named for comptroller,
Isadore Samuelson for attorney
general and others selected to run
as representatives in the districts.
"From Cleveland, Ohio, comes the
news that the Communist Party
there has named three Negroes as
candidates on the workers ticket
for the coming fall elections. The
candidates are Benjamin Dorch,
graduate of Fisk University and
president of the local branch of the
American Negro Labor Congress,
to be representative from the 21st
district; Ed. Williams, organiza-
tional secretary of the A.N.L.C. dis
trict, who is soon to sail from New
York to attend the international
Negro workers conference at Lon
don, for the Senate, and George D..
Tyler, city editor of the Call and
Post, for County Prosecutor.
,"Last week in New York City ten
thousand Communists of all nation
alities marched stoically through
the streets of Harlem behind the
bier of a slain black comrade. AS
the great Red host paid tribute to
one of their dead they importuned
the thousands of spectators who
lined the streets in Niger
Heaven to join their ranks.
cat Birmingham, Alabama, in the
heart of lynch-blighted Dixie, white
men and white women, black men
and black women, members of the
Party, were intimidated by the
police becaue tsehy dared to break
bread together and congregate
under a common roof to plan for
the alienation of their similar VICE."

NEEDLE WORKERS MEET
TONIGHT TO PLAN DRIVE

NEW YORK. - Two meetings
very important to the needle trades
workers will be held today, and two
more tomorrow.
All registered and non-registered
cloakmakers will assemble at the Of
flee of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union, 131 West 28th ST.,
tonight, right after work. The meet
ing is to prepare for the shop con-
ference in the cloak trade. Boroch-

A special meeting of all delegates
and active members working in Dis
trict One of the industrial union in
New York (Distict One is the ter
ritory west of Broadway and from
37th st. to 10th ST. will meet to-
night at the office of the union,
right after work. Delegates should
bring with them as many active
members as possible for a drive in
the dress trade in the coming eason.
Tomorrow in the union offices
right after work, there is special
meeting of all shop delegates, con-
facts, shops committees and active
members in District Four between
18th St. and 33rd St., west of Broad

ers, they print all sorts of fairy
stories about "reopening" and Gre
hiring of thousands of workers"
Overproduction, the basic reason
for the crisis in the automobile in
dustry, is now worse than at the be-
ginning of the year. Very little of
the automobiles produced have been
sold. According to the National
City Bank bulletin of August first,
automobile finance companies have
had double the number of autos to
be turned back to them for non-pay-
ment of installments than in 1929.
This shows a glutted market and an
inability of the bosses to get rid of
the little they now produce. The
foreign sales have been cut in half,
with prospects for a further cut dur
ing the second half of the year.
No amount of boss lies will hide
these facts. More and more auto
workers will become and remain I'M
employed The agrarian crisis is
hurting the automobile industry and
throwing thousands out of work. 1t
is impossible for the capitalists to
hide the fact that the agrarian crisis
will become worse as wheat contin-
ues to drop below the 1914 price
level.

246 HOSIERY MEN
OPPOSE CUT PACT

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Aug. s..
= Pandemonium reigned at the
membership meeting of the Ameri-

Hosiery Workers Union local here,
when 246 members shouted, Kissed

the agreement concluded with the

up to 25 per cent, and the intro

The Musteite officials, however,

the resolution to accept, was car

Reeves rising to speak was the

FIGHT FINGER

FOREIGN BORN
Call Conference of All
Workers Aug. 27

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Fighting
against the new campaign against
foreign-born workers, inspired by
Matthew Woll and the fascist Fish
commission, the Provisional National
Committee for the Protection of the
Foreign Born, at 80 Union Square,
New York City, today issued the
following statement calling on all
workers to fight finger-printing and
deportation Of immigrant workers:
"a new conspiracy is being
Matched against the working class
by the capitalists and their ser
wants, the government of the United
States. A plan is afoot to register
ALIENS to fingerprint them, to de-
port them wholesale. The Fish COM
mittee and Mr.. Matthew Woll, Mr..
Grover Whalen and Mr.. Charles
Wood, the congress of the United
States and the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the financiers of Wall
Street and their henchmen of the
various patriotic organizations, all
agree that drastic legal measures
must be taken against the foreign
born workers, that the law must re-
quire of every immigrant to prove
that he has entered the United
States legally, in other words, that
the police must be given full free
dom to treat the aliens as Grim
inals.
1--WE appeal to all the workers of
this country to offer a united front
of battle against this attack of the
bosses upon the working class. Re-
member that this attack is part of
a greater plan of the capitalists con-
trived to get out of the crisis. The
capitalists plan war. They must
have war to secure a larger slice
of the world market from their COM
petitors, in the first place from the
capitalists of Great Britain. This
is why they are now spending one
billion dollars on new battleships.
This is why they are militarizing
our schools. This is why they are
spreading poisonous anti-alien prop
uganda. This is why they are mob
liking all the fascist patriotic or
CARNATIONS. This is why they en-
courage all the counter-revolution
airy leaders of foreign-born patriotic
who help them mob
ilize the war sentiment of the
This is why they are
launching an attack against the
Soviet Union, where the workers are
rapidly improving their lives be-
cause they are their own masters.
In New York conference is
called for August 81. 1t must in
clude thousands of representatives
of working class organizations. 1t
must express the will and the de-
termination of the workers to fight.
Down with determinations
against any section of the working
class!
down with finger-printing and
deportation of immigrants!
against the united front of the
bosses! Build the united front of
the workers!
Forward to mass campaign for
the defense of the foreign-born
workers."

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. a.

AT the end of the Fall River meet
