AMO-FORD, A CONTRAST
At FORD'S A HUNDRED SUICIDES
AT AMO, EVER RISING STANDARDS

From the Moscow workers News Feb 2S, 1882
No comparison between two factories could
more sharply bring out the contrast between de-
caying capitalism with its misery and starvation,
and socialism with the constant progress of
industry and ever-rising standard of living for
the workers, than contrast between Ford's and
and Stain (ANIO) Auto Plant.
During the so-caled prosperity period 1875 600
to $4,000 workers were employed at the Ford
River Rouge plant Today no more than $4,000
are working from one to three days per week
In October. 1881. a little over 10000 cars were
produced, the production of about three normal
days working at full capacity. This number has
been declining ever since.
OF the 10000 unemployed Ford workers, not
single one received unemployment insurance or
relief, neither from Ford nor from the local
state or federal government. Over 100 unem-
poyeo Ford workers have committed suicide
according TO- the reports in the capitalist press
Tens of thousands OF families of Ford workers
are actually starving
The workers remaining on the Job are almost
as bad off the totally unemployed Ford
boasts that he never cuts wages. But last De-
cember sweeping cut of a dollar per day was
introduced throughout the plant Besides this,
he uses various clever methods of slashing wages
Workers who worked for many years at seven
70 eight dollars day are fired, and later re-
hired or replaced for five-forty a day.
Transfers are made from on department to
another to facilitate wage cuts
Part time work has reduced wages below the
subsistence level. The majority of the workers
make from six to eighteen dollars a week while
the cost Of living is not much below the level
OF prosperity" days.
The worst feature Of the Ford plant is the
terrifically intensified speed-up which has been
introduced during the crisis. Long ago, the Ford
plant was known throughout the world as the
outstanding example of slave driving Now the
speed-up is killing. Spies watch and time the
atking OF a drink, the fulfilling of natural re-
quirements and even the wiping of sweat often
workers are fired when htese require more than
the minimum time, or occur too frequently Even
the highly skilled tool and die workers, formerly
the aristocrats among the auto workers, are now
driven like mad men. A wholesale degeneratino
OF labor power is taking place at the Ford he'll.
