What has happened in the year
rast and what has the New Year
III store for the Nash workers?
Through naturalization methods
half of the workers were thrown
into the street permanently and the
rest were only given part time work
less thar 6 months, The above men,
toned gang system was introduced
into all departments except few
where the workers struck against it
or threatened to strike.
This system permits the elimina-
ton of the foremen. The workers
are compelled the drive each other.
In every department where this
system was introduced the wages
were reduced about 20 to so per
cent.
1t happered that one is working
half a month without knowing just
how much one made.
Let us notice the fact that the
treacherous A.F.L. noticing the mil
liant sentiment of the workers and
the appearance of appeals to the
workers in the Daily Worker to or
ganize into the militant Auto Work
ers Union, Immediately started It's
treacherous work. MONDAY meet
ings were arranged almost daily at
the factory gates. The workers
were being frightened with Com
munist 'bogy" and promised that
under the ALL. there will be para
disc on earth for them.
Due to the militant sentiment of
the workers the traitors have sue
ceeded to capture about 300 of them
and promising that they will work
out plan Of organization. A plan
is being worked out by the traitors
even now -. a plan how to sell
out the workers.
The company was not asleep,
using the unemployment situation
and knowing well it has nothing to
fear from the yellow takers, Il con-
tmued its drive against the work
ers.
During this drive the A.F.L. kept
silent They have not issued a
single leaflet or arranged single
meeting.
What is the way out of this situa-
ton for the workers? What must
these workers do who are betrayed
by the ALL? The way out is
tell the tr;'itCrs of the ALL. to go
to hell Let's organize ourselves
into factory committees and join the
fighting Auto Workers Union. Do
not believe a single wcrd of the
