The Auto Workers and the
Elections

Why All Auto Workers Must Vote Communist
I'M the present fall election campaign the auto
I workers OF Michigan are facing storm Of
wage-cuts speed-up, unemployment and starva-
ton Only the Communist Party (Workers
Party on the BALLOT raises these most burning
issues Of the auto workers in the election Mean
while the republican, democratic, socialist, and
socialist labor parties completely ignore these
working-class issues-and at the most only make
false promises. The Communist Party partici-
pates In this election campaign on the basis Of
organizing the auto workers in real militant
struggle against wage-cuts and speed-up and for
The immediate adoption Of the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill proposed by the Com
rnunist Party
Organize Your Shop Committees to Strike
In those elections the Communist Party is
kgitating and organizing the workers to fight
against their rotten living conditions. We must
organize both the employed and unemployed
auto workers for joint struggle for their COM
mon interests against their common enemy-the
bosses The auto workers must use this election
campaign as a means Of building the Auto
Workers Union in every department Of every
auto shop IN Michigan. The building Of shop
committees is the key to the organization Of mass
struggle OF the auto workers against wage-cuts,
speed-up and lay-offs. Only by building strong
Workers Union can we auto workers effectively
put up fight for better conditions. All Auto
Workers Union members and sympathizers
should agitate their departments, speak to them
constantly, make Connections, get names and ad-
dresses, and bring them into the union
Kartel Wade, and American Federation Of
While the auto workers are facing stiff
winter of wage-cuts and speed-up and grow
ing unemployment-the takers Of the Michigan
Federation Of Labor (Wade, Martel etc. are
following the same sell-out policies Of Presi-
dent Green and Matthew Vol. The American
Federation of Labor officials have made Sec
ret agreement with General Motors and Ford
to help them put the burdens, suffering and
brunt Of the crisis on the shoulders of the auto
workers.
Martel Wade and other responsible leaders
Of the A. F. Of L. in Michigan are taking the
role Of real bosses stool-pigeons, strike break
ers and scabs when they tell the workers not to
strike now, because "of the depression which
makes 1t impossible for workers to win their
demands" CMarteD. In this election campaign
when the Wades and Martels are supporting
the Bouchers and Comstocks and other bosses
politicians, the auto workers must strike back
at this treacherous policy Of the A. F. of L. by
voting Communist on November 4th by mark
ing a cross in the circle underneath the ham
mer and sickle. the emblem of the Communist
Party. Especially now when the bosses are de-
termined to push through their wave Of wage
cuts and speed-up-it is absolutely important to
mobilize the auto workers under the fighting
slogan Of Organize and Strike Against Wage
Cuts and Speed-Up!"
The Communist Party Is at the Front Line
Firing Trenches Of the Auto Workers! Battles!
While the American Federation Of Labor and
the Socialist Party have done everything pos
sible to break the Flint Fisher Body strike.
