on $4,000 bail, reduced from

"You are trying to break up the

for Strike Breaking

FLINT, Mich, July When
about 1000 Flint strikers defied the
company union program of mo
mass picketing" and appeared in
force before the gates of tie Fisher
Body Co. this morning, they were
driven from the scene with bay
onets.
The bosses had brought in the
national guard, state troopers, and
deputy sheriffs. A solid line of
bayonetted rifles bore down on the
strikers and drove them all the way
to the city limits and miles beyond.
The role of the company union
is plain. 1t is quite obvious that
the bosses organized this so-called
"Auto Workers Association" to
smash the strike. The bosses raid
ed, and the newly formed company
union gang repeat, the charges of
outsiders" and "reds," to try and
split some of the strikers away
from the Auto Workers Union, the
main backbone of strike organiza-
ton, which spread the strike from
a little walkout of 500 skilled work
ers in the metal finishers depart
ment, to a mass strike of 5000
which closed the plant down and
won support from other plants.
COmstock Gets In,
Comstock is a dubious character
in the metal finishers group. When
the 500 skilled workers came out, he
got on their strike committee.
When the strike spread to other
departments, the original strike
committee was retained, with the
addition of members of the other
departments.
The task now before the strikers
is to create a real strike committee,
under rank and file control, elected
from among the main body of the
strikers. with all departments well
represented.
Special Meeting Tomorrow.
Wednesday morning special
meeting has been called by the Auto
Workers Union. Leaflets issued by
the A. w. U. are being distributed,
calling on all strikers to realize the
treachery of the Comstock group
and to continue the fight under the
leadership of the Auto Workers
Union.
They are particularly urged not
to be demoralized, and to continue
mass picketing and wage a militant
struggle.
At present there are 35 still in
Jail including Philip Raymond, of

BOMBAY, India, July 7.-Sun~
day, while police were beating up
a crowd of demonstrators against
British Imperialism in Poona, a
speech was made to a gathering Of
millionaire Parsees, in which they
were promised unlimited loot from

The meeting was addressed by
Vallabhai Patel, president VI the
All-India Nationa' Congress (the or

said:

Parsees might lose all their wealth
under swaraj, but instead of being
millionaires as at present you would
all become multi-millonaires under

Mrs. Kahn said:
Il intend to demand hearings

the immigration officers were

This furnishes a precedent
for my bill. I am willing to
