framed against them and they were

In the meantime, police, casting

BOSS SPOKE
CALLS FOR Ne W
WAGE-CUT DRIVE
Big Cuts Already Made
More to Come

That further wage-cuts are ''im-
minent and unavoidable" is the dec
laration Of H. Parker Willis, editor
of the Journal of Commerce and
the leading bourgeois authority on
the Federal Reserve banking sys-
tenn.
Writing to and for finance cap
ital, Willis insists that it is time
that they stopped kidding them
selves and initiated drive upon
the "extravagant rates of wages"
which "have been paid to organized
labor in most industries" thereby
cutting the "high costs" of produc-
ton in accord with the falling price
level.
GAS prices are cut" Willis states,
"actual necessity compels the cut
ting of wages; and therefore during
the past week or ten days several
important wage-cuts have been an
nounced in an equal number of i'm
portant industries" If profits are
to continue, Willis argues, the work
ing class must "take some part of
the burden upon its shoulders.
There never was any sound basis
for the view that very high day
wages paid to employees meant con-
tinued prosperity because it en-
larged their buying power. With
the necessity of cutting prices the
inevitable contradiction in terms
makes its appearance, and the I'M
sound element in the extravagantly
high wage philosophy becomes evil
dent"
Thus, Willis calls for new wage
cuts and attempts to supply a theo-
retical justification of the whole
sale process Of wage-cutting which
followed directly upon the heels of
Hoover's emergency conference last
fall.
This i swhat the Daily Worker
has been pointing out regularly since
the crash last autumn. The bosses
will not only attempt to make the
wage-cuts permanent, but they will
progressively increase their wage
cutting offensive. The class inter
ests of the workers and bosses are

DETROIT, Mich, June with
the monotonous regularity of a
punch-press the Guardian Union
Trust Co. issues reports showing
ever-present unemployment. The
latest, covering the first three
months of this year, shows an en-
ployment decline of 20 per cent, as
compared with the same period Of
1929, while auto production has de-
creased 80 per cent. The value of
building permits shows loss of AZ
per cent. The 1880 period shows a
gain of 144 per cent in the number
of business failures, with the liza
bilities showing a 260 per cent in
crease. The unemployment result
ing from these conditions can easily
be seen.
A considerable portion of the
Ford Rouge plant will shut down
on July a for two or three weeks.
Extensive repair operations now go
ing on will require such shut
down, it is said. Tens of thousands
of Ford workers will again be
thrown out.

Reports showing an increase in
the demand for steel for auto pro-
duction are no index as to the en-
ployment situation. Most of the
steel buying is being done by Ford
and Chevrolet. The former is let
ting out parts contracts to other
firms and laying off "high wage"
