The American capitalists have

campaign. Speed-up is becoming

The United States government
has shown that it will do nothing

workers to close their ranks and
in intensified struggle smash the
gunman rule of Wall st.
within a few days, uniformed
killers of the New York police de-
partment have murdered two work
ers. While thousands of workers
were preparing for mass funeral
and protest against the murder Of
Alfred Levy, a Negro worker who
was beaten to death at an anti
lynching street meeting in Harlem,
the professional murderers of the
bosses police force snuffed out the
life of Gonzalo Gonzales, a Next
can worker who was leading
march of Latin-American workers
to the hall where the body of AL
fred Levy was lying in state.
These two murdered workers are
martyrs in the struggle of the
working class against unemploy-
ment, wage-cuts, race discrimina-
ton and imperialist oppression.
The cold-blooded, wanton murder of
these two workers is the answer
Of the bosses to the demands of the
working class for work or wages,
for an end to the lynching of work
ers, for the right to organize, strike
and picket and for complete inde-
pendence of the colonial masses
from the rule of the imperialist
powers. By these murders the
bosses seek to terrorize the work
ers into submission to the policy
of the bosses for solving the CAPT.

working class.

Fisher Body plant, the 5000
STRIKERS swung into a march
to the Buick plant, parading through
the main street of Flint, Saginaw
st. Powerless, in the face of the
onsweeping masses of the aroused
strikers and their sympathizers, the
police fell back sullenly. Coming
to halt before the A. G. Plug plant
the striking workers held another
demonstration, eagerly followed by
the girls in the factory.
As result of the great demon
stration before the A. c. Plug plant,
400 girls from the plant walked into
the Auto Workers Union headquar-
tiers at noon and announced that
they had struck.
High-spirited and enthusiastic,
seven to eight thousand strikers and
workers from the Chevrolet and
Buick plants still working, overflow

press indoors that the meeting was
held in the open.
The strike that started in the
NEAL finishing department with 500
workers, spread through all other
departments and under the leader
ship of the Auto Workers Union,
tied up the entire Fisher Body plant.
Goaded by the savage wage-cutting
campaign started by the bosses, suf
fering under the life-sapping speed

by wholesale layoffs, the auto work
