10000 STRIKERS
MARCH IN FLINT

Leading Struggle

ceived, but for general wage in
crease, unemployment insurance, the
8-hour day, regulation of the con-
veyor speed and recognition of their
union, the Auto Workers Union, sec
ton of the Metal Trades Workers
League, affiliated to the revolution
airy Trade Union Unity League.
Amid cheers and great enthusiasm,
the mass meeting held last night
roared approval Of the demands pro-
posed by the Auto Workers Union.
Hundreds Of auto workers are en-
rolling in the Auto Workers Union,
and strike committees organized on
the basis of departments, are being
set up Already the rank and file
strike committee of so of the Fisher
Body plant has thrown itself into
the work of strike leadership.
When the workers of the remain
ing Flint plants now FESTIVE, walk
out in strike, Immediately joint
strike committee will be set up and
thrown into action The workers
arc determined to spread the strike
to all auto centers-Pontiac and De-
troit especially.
By far tn largest strike as yet
in the auto industry in the United
States, the Fisher Body workers led
the way in striking against impend-
ing wage cuts, knowing the mean
ing of a departmental wage cut as
in the case of the metal finishers.
Not forgetting the urgent need for
struggle against unemployment and
fol unemployment insurance, the
strikers have made preparations to
send a delegation to the National
Convention of the Unemployed, meet
ing in Chicago, July As.
Frantically seeking new markets
TO" automobiles, and forced to cur
tail production, the auto bosses have
launched a big drive to make the
workers suffer the burden of the
crisis. Layoff succeeded layoff in
all the large auto plants in the coun-
try. The belt was speeded to an
unheard of intensity, literally burr-
ing out the workers lives and vital
ity. Then in order to divide the
workers in their wage-cutting cam
paign, slashes were put into effect
section by section, department by
department.
Reports for June indicate the ex-
tent of the crisis effecting automo-
bile production. Buick, REQ, Hupp
and Graham-Paige report a produc-
ton decline of % per cent as COM
pared with May and 81 per cent
below that of June of last year.
Buick shipped Abs Buick and
Marquette cars in June, as against
the 1914 in May, 1880, and 1866
in June of last year.
Marking the rising determine
ton of the auto workers to fight
back the attacks of the auto bosses,
especially the Morgan General No
tors Co., the Flint strike gives prom
ise of a general upsurge of all auto
workers and their organizations into
the fighting union, the Auto Work
ers Union.

VIENNA (IP.S).-Seyere col
lisions occurred in Traisenthal at
Whitsun as result of the prohibi-
ton of the Communist youth meet
there. Young and adult workers
travelled from various parts of Aus
tria to take part in the meet and
under mass pressure the authori-
ties permitted the holding of an inr
door meeting. The meeting was
packed to overlooking with work
ers and the first disturbance oc-
Cured when a small force of police
entered the hall in order to watch
over the meeting.
They did not get far, for the in
dignant workers seized them bodily
and flung them down the stairs into
the street. Feeling that discretion
was the better part of valor the
police retired until reinforcements
were forthcoming. The building
was then surrounded and stormed.
The workers defended themselves
desperately with sticks, bottles,
chairs and anything that came to
hand. During the fighting a police
officer gave the order to fire, but

WARN GARY MEN
AGAINST CYP
Bosses Cops Think
Otherwise

Gary, Ind.
To the Daily WORKER
Zachary Lossieff, a lawyer, who
has been practicing law in Gary for
several years and trading on the
double fact that he can speak Rus
sian and that he pretends to be a
liberal, has recently exposed him
self as CRATER who does not hest
tate to cheat workers organizations
Of any money he can lay his hands
on.
Recently, in connection with some
arrests which took place on May
Day, Lossieff was engaged by the
International Labor Defense to de-
fend the imprisoned workers. When
one of the |. L. d. members went
to the police station to place a 500
bond, Lossieff, under some pre-
tense, took the money himself and
placed the bond under his own
name. The next day, after the case
had been tried, Lossieff collected
the 800, but refused to turn it over
to the |. L. D., stating it was safe"
in his keeping.
When he was asked how much
the bill was for defending the work
ers he said it was $40. He gave
as an excuse for this plain high
way robbery that seven workers
were involved in the case-and that
this only makes 500 apiece.
When a committee of the l. L. D.
visited Lossieff to protest against
this outrage he refused to refund
any of the 500.
Russian workers Of Gary who
have been in the habit of patron
izing Lossieff, under the illusion
that he sympathizes with the work
ers' movement, should realize that
this character is a plain faker and
shark and that they should steer
clear of him.

last night the question was dis

done in answer to the Pennsylvania
Coal Cos policy of victimizing the
militant strikers and the question
of fighting the yellow-dog agree

The president of the local advised
the miners to "leave everything in

National Miners Union organizer
in the anthracite, asked for the
floor. He began to explain the
causes of the strike, the worsening
conditions, unemployment, part
time work, ETC., and called on the
miners to continue the strike.
After speaking for about three
minutes, the chairman of the local
recognized one of his henchmen,
who demanded to know whether
fash was working in the colliery.
The chairman then called on fash
to stop speaking, and, in the mean
time, the state troopers, who were
present, made a grab for fash and
tried to arrest him. The miners,
who had been listening very intently
to what fash had to say, then
jumped up and forced the troopers
to release him.
AS fash was leaving the hall the
troopers grabbed him again, forced
him into a car and drove off.
Late last night the international
Labor Defense was unable to locate
fash. The local police denied that
he was being detained there and

denied that fash was in the bar

 You shouldn't" Brynmor re- joined. T will bring her"
 She sprang to her feet. Let's mix some cocktails and dance. I have some new records"
 "Oh, gosh,' Brynmor groaned T ought to fetch that girl.''
 Dance" Clarice insisted. She clasped bare arm about his neck.
 Brynmor danced. He stayed an hour, an hour and half.
 Mary Lou waited and waited. It seemed as if Brynmor never would come. She explored Jays flat, paced the floor. What could be keeping him?
 She tried on her newest dress, a pink georgette. It was all right for Frinwood, where she lived, but somehow there was too much of a suggestion of homemade" about it for London.
 Finally Brynmor arrived, profuse with apologies. Immediately he rushed her to his club for some thing to eat before the theatre. He sent a porter to get seats for "any old show" then discovered that both of them had seen Peter Pan' before.
 Brynmor's moods silence didn't add to Mary Lou's peace of mind in the theatre. He wondered how he could endure two weeks of it; she was on the verge of tears.
 Her spirits revived somewhat when Brynmor proposed that they dance after the show.

 'Righto." countered Reggie.
 Will you gentlemen be taking champagne?" a waiter inquired as they sat down at a side table.
 "S-sure, b-buckets of it." Tony gesticulated.
 Tony and Reggie glanced about. They saw thousands of lights, hun dreds of balloons. Suddenly Tony's eyes fell on a blonde girl sitting opposite them-alone. She was far too pretty to be alone, he thought.
 Tony commented on her plight to Reggie Then the dance ended and the hall was flooded with light.

plain things.
 Clarice danced at the Emerald Dragon" newest and smartest of the night clubs in Soho. Brynmor went every night to watch her and to take her home He knew little or nothing of Clarice's past, but her clever indifference had intrigu- ed him.
 Brynmor found her curled up on divan. Her room, richly fur nished, was symbol of the luxury that Clarice loved.
 T suppose must look after her." Brynmor said, as he finished the story of Mary Lou's arrival.
 Are you sure," Clarice remarked, that you're not the least bit keen on this Mary Lou?"
 Nonsense, Clarice! How can you say that?" Brynmor exploded. You know
 She looked at him with those slanting, half closed eyes.
 What girl ever knows? This girl thought she knew, too. Other wise she never would have come"
 But you're different, Clarice IT love you.' Brynmor, though only p, was desperately in earnest.
 We think we're different, but wonder ."

 T might, but
 Go on," urged Reggie. Bet you haven't the nerve"
 Tony would have flown his air plane straight to Greenland for a sixpenny bet. More than once he had risked his life for shilling.
 He rose to his feet and staggered slowly to the table where Mary Lou sat.
 "P-please don't think me imperti- nent, but I'd like to dance with you" Tony ventured.
 Mary Lou, mortified because Brynmor had left her, could only feel grateful that at least one man wished to dance with her. Here, she thought, was one way to get even with Brynmor. When he came back, she could say, Have you been long? I've been dancing with this gentleman. He's ever so nice.
 I'd be glad to-" she told the surprised Tony. Jumping to her feet, she gave herself into his arms. Copyright, 1880, Maysie Greig)

 He stared moodily at the station ceiling, disgusted with the whole situation.
 Hello, Brynmor, were you ex- pecting me to drop from the cell ing?"
 He turned, startled. "Jove, Mary Lou!"
 There she was, smiling uncer- tainly, flushed with embarrassment Absent-mindedly, he had forgotten to scan the passengers as they stepped from the train.
 Had a nice trip?" Brynmor reached for her dingy satchel.
 Fine"
 There was an uncomfortable pause.
 Should I kiss her?" Brynmor thought. Gosh, she's worse than I imagined. Where did she get that anticipated coat?"
 The coat wasn't London. It pro- claimed to the world it's provincial origin. It was much too long.
 Its great that you're here" Brynmor made another valiant ef-

fort as he hailed cab.
 Isn't it? I've been so looking forward to it."
 T suppose your cousins will ex- pect you to spend the night with them,' he hazarded as they drove toward Chelsea. Too much to hope for any of your time this first night
 "W-why, IT wrote and explained was coming mainly to see you,' Mary Lou faltered.
 Mary Lou's cousin, Jay, lived in Chelsea. She had married Jerry Jerome, who worked on a morning newspaper. Jay, who kept a small, exclusive gown shop, made more money than Jerry did.
 Neither Jay nor Jerry was home when Brynmor and Mary Lou ar rived, but Jay left note explain ing that both of them were working late that night. She apparently had assumed that Mary Lou would go out with Brynmor.
 "I'll dash off and pick up a cou- pie of seats for a theatre" Bryn- nor said. Be back for you in an hour. Is that o. k.?"
 'Wonderful!" Mary Lou exclaim- ed, and Brynmor was gone so quickly that she was left bewildered.
 We're strange to each other, ," she unused. But I'm sure it will be different when we've seen more of each other"
 Yet she couldn't deny there was a difference between Brynmor and her summer hero. He hadn't kissed her, hadn't even called her pet names as he used to do-last sum- mer.
 "I wonder" she began. Then she shook her head stubbornly. Nothing can possibly be wrong not when I've counted so much on these two weeks in town"
 Meanwhile Brynmor had has, tened to Clarice's flat. He meant to stay five minutes, just to ex-
