BULLETIN


The British capitalist class has
greeted the cuts in the wages of
the steel, rubber and other work
ers in the United States with out
spoken approval according to the
latest dispatches from London. The
British manufacturers, the govern
ment and the Socialist Opposi-
ton will use the wage cuts in the
United States in support of their
own cutting of wages. The dispatch
reports that the wage cuts of state
employees by the Macdonald gov
eminent will mo doubt be follow
ed thruout industry"
The wage cuts on the American
workers "fits into the French con-
ception of what should be done in
the emergency of a world economic
slump" The cuts in the United
States will be followed by yet
sharper cuts in the wages of the
workers in the remainder of the
capitalist countries for the struggle
on the world markets.

by first reducing wages of office
workers.
Denied Wage Cuts
James P. Farrell, president of the
United States Steel Corporation, to-
gether with William Green, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
attended the Hoover conference in
November, 1929, where Green pro-
missed to act as strikebreaker, and
Farrell said there would be no wage
cuts.
Meanwhile, the subsidiaries of the
United States Steel have been cutting
wages all the time, especially in
Youngstown and Pittsburgh. He
cover up this shipping at wages, and
to lay the ground for a general cut
in the steel industry, both Farrell
and Green repeatedly denied there
would be any pay cutting.
Green Absolyes Hoover
Only May 10, absolving the Hoover
government and the United States
Steel Corporation from any part in
wage cutting, William Green at the
Houston, Texas, convention Of the
Brotherhood Of Rilway Trainmen
said President Hoover, Secretary of
the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, James
Farrell, president of the United
States Steel Corporation, and Swope
OF the General Electric Co. we're
making strong declarations in op-
positions to wage reductions" Green
told the workers to have faith in
these capitalists.
In the Pittsburgh steel area wage
cuts will hit every steel and metal
plant. The New York Times in its
headline on wage cuts in the Pitts
burgh district said general cut likely

by similar action by every steel Company in

that this is not the first cut in the steel work
ers pay during the present crisis. There have
been numerous cuts since November, 1929. This
additional slash of the worker wages will
mean greater starvation to the steel workers

fective way of cutting wages and
getting more work out of the work.
ers is shown up in the latest general
wage cutting drive.
Instead of announcing a direct
wage cut, like the United States
Steel Corporation and the other
large corporations, the United States
Rubber Co. announced 1t would go
on five-day week basis with a
corresponding cut in wages.
A. F. L. Supplies Plan.
This idea was given to this cor
poration by the American Federation
of Labor officials, who have repeat
eddy asked for a five-day week. with
out, however, intending to demand
or fight for maintaining wages.
The result for the rubber workers
will be a five-day week, in which
they will be speeded up to do as
much work as they formerly did in
the longer week, and their wages
will, at the same time, be slached 10
per cent. Over $4,000 workers are
employed by the United States
Rubber Co.
F. B. Davis, Jr., president OF the
United States Rubber Co., announced
the wage cut, saying that the United
States Rubber Co. was the first large
corporation to take this way of cut
ting wages by the five-day week
route.
Other large corporations which
are following this A. F. of L. line of
wage cuts through the "five-day
week." are the B. r. Goodrich Co.,

AIM TO TURN
WAR IN CHINA
AGAINST USSR
France Welcomes JAP
anese Advance as
Aimed at USSR
March On Hardin
BULLETIN,

All American capitalist papers
are running scream lines over
Manchurian dispatches, alleging
Soviet mobilization on the border,
and even reporting Chinese "opin-
ion" that the Soviet has a secret
agreement with Japan to divide
Manchuria." This is an attempt to
turn attention from Japanese
seizure of Chinese territory and the
distinctly menacing aggression Of
Japan toward the Soviet Union. 1t
is most significant that a n. Y.
Post dispatch from Paris infers the
anti-SOviet character of the whole
military advance in Manchuria, as
follows:
PARIS. - Advices received in
Paris today from the Orient are
that the japanese occupation of
Manchuria is designed to be per
manent. The French attitude is
exceedingly friendly to Japan. A
Russian army upon the border of
Manchuria is reported to be I'M
able to cope with Japanese troops"
That the Japanese drive for i'm
perialist annexation is mounting
and threatens the Soviet border is
seen in dispatches telling of the
nF To -
wards Hardin. According to these
reports it is indicated that the
japanese have made the seizure of
the Chinese Eastern Railway, which
is operated jointly by the Soviet
and China, their immediate objec-
tive.
The New York Daily News re-
ports;
Another Rengo (Japanese) dis
patch from Hardin said Russian
Consul General Orlov had sent a
note drawing attention of Japan
csc Consul General Ohashi that
train service on the Chinese East
ern Railway was being hampered
through the japanese occupation
of Kwan- Chengtse, near Chang
chun and the Soviet note asked
what measures Japan proposed TO
rectify the situation"

GENERAL MOTORS
BEGINS DRIVE TO
HIT AUTOTOILERS
Begin With 10 to 20 PC
Wage Cut for Offices

DETROIT, Mich, Sept 22.-Wage
cuts will now sweep the entire auto
mobile industry. No doubt is left on
this score after the action of the
General Motors Co. which announces
a 10 to 20 per cent wage cut for its
"salaried employees" on October /.
This was the way the United States
Steel Corporation began its pay cuts
which swept that industry, hitting
over 100000 steel workers.
Coming on the day the United
States Steel Corporation announced
its wage cut for steel workers, the
statement by Alfred P Sloan, Jr.,
president of the General Motors
Corp, can be considered part of the
general wage cutting drive, intended
as the opener for the automobile in
dustry.
Admitting that the General Motors
action is a prelude to a general drive
against wages, the financial editor Of
the New York Evening Post on
Tuesday wrote:
I'm the event that General Mo
tors takes the initiative by reducing
salaries, it is natural to expect a
similar move on the part of its
competitors. Furthermore, the re-
duction in salaries, which General
Motors is expected to announce,

 New York to Ha7elton, B. G.. Fairbanks and Nome, Alaska, with one over water jump of only 56 miles at Bering Strait phe delegate told them he thought this would be the fu- ture airway to Asia. This route would take the Lirdberghs over the proposed route of the Paci- fic-Yukon Highway and incl dentally give considerable pub licity to the highway plan. It is understood that other possi- ble routes are being considered by the Lindberghs and definite plans will be announced later.
