The organization drive that has
been started by the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union and the
United F'rort Committee in the dress
trade is meeting with the response
of the workers. During the first
day close to 300 workers came down
on strike. On the second day of the
campaign number Of additional
shops Joined the strike. These addi-
tional shop strikes are in prepara-
ton for the mass strike planned
later in the season.
At every shop meeting the queS-
ton of spreading shop strikes was
greeted with enthusiasm and the
workers pledged to help bring down
other open shops.
A joint meeting of shop strike
committees will be held today at 10

WRITER'S GROUP
MEET SATURDAY
Form Closer Contact Of
Worker Writers

NEW YORK-Closer contacts and
a comon basis for future work will
be established among the proletarian
writer's and workers correspondents
Of various nationalities at the con-
ference to be held this Sunday, Jan
10, at 1890 am. in the Workers
Center, IS E, 18th ST., third floor.
The conference has been called by
the John Reed Club, organization Of
the American revolutionary writer's;
the Proletpen Childish writer's, the
Hungarian Proletarian Writers and
the Hungarian Workers Correspon-
dents.
The conference will make plans for
organizing new groups of writer's and
of workers correspondents among
the many nationalities where they do
not as yet exist in order to co-or-
dinate and strengthen the work Of
the entire proletarian literary move
ment and make it a better fighter
for the cause of the working class.
This conference will also lay the
basis for the formation of a fed
Grafton of the various national
groups of proletarian writer's and
workers correspondents at some flu
ture date.
All groups of writer's or workers
correspondents and all revolutionary
newspapers and magazines are sailed
on to send delegates. Individual
proletarian writer's and worcorrs are
also invited to participate in the
conference.

were unemployed His only mention
of social insurance was that he would
touch on it later" His later" never
came.
In opposing political action by the
working class, Vol made the claim
that the United States "as whole
was still an agricultural country.
This brought a laugh from even his
socialist bad fellows, He claimed
it would be impossible to unite the
farming masses with the urban
workers. He admitted the decline in
membership of the A. F.. of L., but
tried to cover it up with a comparison
Of figures for ten years ago.
The few workers present found it
difficult to swallow much of his
bunk, and questions were hurled at
him right and left at the completion
of his lecture Asked to explain the
failure of the A. F. of L. to organize
the Southern textile workers in spite
of the militant spirit shown by these
workers, Vol stated that the A. F.
of L. was compelled to forego its
efforts because of the demoralized
conditions in the industry He then
added that the southern textile work
ers depended too much upon "the
generosity of the labor movement to
support them on strike"
Challenge VOL on Unemployment
Insurance
Jim Lerner, a militant worker,
then got the floor and pointed out
that at the last 2 conventions of the
A. F. of L. the question of unem-
ployment and unemployment relief
was ignored and attention centered
on the demand for beer. Lerner
scored the A. F. of L. for it's traitor
Gus class collaboration policy and its
pledge to Hoover and the employers
to call no strikes during the econo-
mic crisis.
This was too much for the fascism
Vol and his sociaI-fascist allies.
Vol objected that "the gentleman
does not know how to conduct him
self properly" while Algernon Lee
speeded to the rescue by declaring
the meeting closed.
Vol stated that the existence of
progressives and conservatives in the
labor movement was healthy sign.
He later referred to the needle trades
union in New York and pointed out
that although these unions claim to
have "class psychology and are
more vociferous in their declarations
yet here more than in other trades
we have the use of arbiters to settle
the fate of the industry and not the
wo7 Aers who belong to the unions
Vol divided the fight for higher
wages into four stages; the first-sub-
sistence wages, second-a living wage,
then a luxury wage and now it is
matter of the distribution of the re-
wards Of industry. This last fight
"has Xlade great appeal to all classes
of our people and great advances
have been made" Earlier in his talk
he admitted that great portions of
the workers average $500 a year.

PIONEERS HARLEM
CONFERENCE sun.
Demand Food, Cloth
ing for Children

NEW YORK.-As a result of the
vicious boss policy Of discrimination
against Negroes in jobs and in I'M
employment relief, the workers of
Harlem and their children are among
the worst sufferers of the present
severe economic crisis.
The Young Pioneers of America,
the only workers children's organ
ization, is calling a conference of
Harlem parents to work out a cam
paign of struggle against the terrific
mass misery in the Harlem section
and the resultant suffering of our
children. The conference will be
held next Sunday, Jan. 10, at
o'clock in the morning at the Fin
nish Workers Hall, IS West 126th
Street. Every worker and parent
should make it their business to be
present.
In the call for the conference, the
Young Pioneers point out that Negro
workers are grossly Disseminated
against even in the miserable relief
that is being doled out to only few
of the million and more unemployed
workers and their dependents in New
York City. Hundreds of Harlem
children faint daily in the schools
because of lack of food at home, The
workers must demand adequate free
food and clothing for them.
The conference will also take up
the demand for the unconditional
and safe release of the 9 innocent
Scottsboro children, facing lega
lynching in Alabama.

Refuse to Take 10 P. C.
Wage Cut

HACKENSACK, N. j., Jan. 5. -
One hundred and fifty workers at the
Federal Paper Mills here refused to
work when 10 per cent wage cut was
announced Monday. The boss said
he would give them week to de-
eide, closing the shop for that per-
iod. This threat did not work. The
boss called a meeting of the men to-
day at 3 p m. in the factory for a
reply.
The Trade Union Unity League
called the workers to a mass meet
ing and the workers decided on a
walk-out. They voted to strike and

FRANKLIN BUILT
ON PLANE LINES
New Supercharged Airman
Leader in Field.

A supercharged, cooled, air.
plane engine, combined with nu-
merous other exclusive mechanical
features and a wide range of smart,
lower, aero streamlined bodies, is the
Franklin Automobile Company's
offering to the American public.
Because Franklin construction so
closely parallels aviation engineer
ing in many ways, the new prod
uct will be designated as the Frank
lin Supercharged Airman.
Prices on the eight body types,
which bring custom craftsmanship
to the standard line, begin at $2,250
+. o. b. factory for the sedan. Rad
ically under last years level, prices
are the lowest ever reached on de
luxe models produced by the SYRIA
cuse manufacturer, it is said.
Franklin is the first automobile
manufacturer to include, as stand
ard equipment, a supercharger that
produces quicker, smoother accel-
Grafton in the lower speed ranges,
and improves power under hard
pulling conditions. It's effect also
is noticeable in somewhat higher
top speed. Over a wide range of
road operating conditions the aver
age power increase produced by all
functions of the Supercharger is
7-horse power, obtained without ad-
ding to the cubic capacity of the
engine.

De SOTO BOASTS.
NEW FEATURES
ON ALL AUTOS
Lines for 1882 Among
Most Popular in Small
Motor Field.

The brilliant new De Soto six is
one of the most popular attractions
at the automobile show.
Strikingly individual in appear
ance, and presenting advanced fea-
lures Of operation and construc-
ton. it is the finest De Soto ever
built +. and it sells at the lowest
price in De Soto history.
Heralded as "the Smartest car in
the low price field" this new prod
uct of the De Soto Motor Corpora
ton offers degree of driving con-
venience entirely new to its class.
1t co-ordinates the outstanding en-
gineering improvements of today in
a car of balanced design and per-
formance.
The 1882 De Soto is recognizable
by its rounded racing car radiator,
and the sweep Of its European Gus
tom type hood and deep, overhang-
ing tenders. It offers quick accelera-
ton and more than seventy mile
an-hour stop-watch speed, with
75-horse power six-cylinder motor.
The principal engineering fea-
lures OF the new De Soto six are:
Floating power, automatic clutch
with silent gear selection, free
wheeling, constant mesh transmits
sion, double drop, x-girder- -braced
frame, safety steel body, weather.
proof hydraulic brakes with the
extra life of the new centrifuse
brake drums, and iso-therm alum
mum alloy pistons.
Nine body models, five standard
and four custom types, comprise
the new line. The standard models
are the brougham, the four-door
sedan, the roadster, the coupe and
rumble seat coupe. The custom
line includes the f1ve-passenger
sedan, the convertible coupe and
the convertible sedan.
All are available in a wide range
of colors. Special attention has
been paid to the ricetieS of detail
in the finish of the upholstering,
the selection of hardware and
other items of particular interest

MOTOR COM MISSIONER
WARNS AGAINST TAXES
Proposed Levy Would Bring on New
Danger, He Declares.

That additional motor vehicle
taxes at this time will affect traffic
safety adversely by delaying re-
placement of dangerous old cars
and repair of all others, is the
premise upon which Harold G..
Hoffman of New Jersey, a prom
inent state motor vehicle commits
sioner, voices his opposition to new
levies against motorists as a class.
Specifically, Mr. Hoffman inveighs
against the proposal for either a
special excise tax or a federal levy
on fuels.
Add one hundred million dollars
TO the cost of new cars and trucks,
and twenty-five million to the up
keep cost of old ones, as this pro-
posed tax would do, and the loss
in life and property on the public
highway may exceed vastly the ma
tional treasury'S gain" he said.
Hoffman, who points out that
traffic deaths increased in his state
last year, also discusses the
economic Importance of the auto
motive industry. and declares il
should not be hampered in its
effort IA lead the country back to
prosperity.

MARMON TRIMS COST
TO GIVE GREAT VALUE
Activities Concentrated in Plants of
Indianapolis Company.

AS an important part OF its 1857
nrogram. Marmon has taken far
reaching steps to consolidate its en-
tire operation into single unit,
and to concentrate its manufactur-
ing activities for the purpose OF
eliminating expense and passing on
the savings in the form OF greater
value in its automobiles.
All manufacturing engineering
and sales activities have been placed
under a single roof in plant 2 Of
the Marmon factory. This plant is
one of the largest, and most mod
ernly equipped in the industry. A
considerable portion of it is entirely
new. and contains the facilities for
production of the 200-horsepower
Marmon sixteen.
One of the Marmon officials, IN
commenting on the new program,
SAID that I'VE have selected the
largest, newest and most economical
of our plants to house all manu-
featuring operations as well as ad-
ministrative offices and the various
departments OF the business"

to the discriminating feminine
motoriSt. Equipment is complete.
even to the building of a radio
antenna in every model.
The 6-cylinder engine is of the
generally approved L-head design. 1t
has 3A Inch bore with a Al Inch
stroke. Piston displacement is 211.5
cubic inches. The engine develops
IS brake horsepower.
Floating power, that newly-dis-
covered principle of engine mount
ing now generally acclaimed as the
outstanding development in auto
motive engineering in recent years,
especially distinguishes the new De
Soto from an engineering view
point.
De Soto offers the much needed
protection of a double braking
system. The mandrake operates
directly on the driveshaft and is,
therefore, entirely independent of
the service brake.
De Soto's appearance is distin-
guiShed for its skilled adherence to
the flowing line. The rounded racing
type radiator, the radiator emblem,
the European custom type hood,
which eliminates the bulge of a
cowl. an6 the windshield slanted at
a 1914 degree angle are in co-or-
dination.
On all cars five wire wheels, or
five wood demountable wheels, are
optional standard equipment. Tire
Sibe is '.25x18 on standard models
and 5.50xl7 on the custom line.
Shatterproof glass is available in
windshield and all windows at extra
COST.
Chromium plating with its beau
ty and utility is generously en-
ployed, notably in the new bowl-type
headlampS with toric lenses and the
windshield frame.
The most modern improvement
and refinements surround the op-
Grafton of the De Soto engine. This
equipment includes a thermoStat-
ically controlled cooling system, air
cleaner, oil filter. intake slencer and
positive fuel pump.

SILENCE GREAT
AUTO CONQUEST
New Lines Show Endless
Car improvements.

More new features are being dis
peyed at the automobile show this
ar than ever before. In fact, the
array of new tranSmissions, engine
improvements and automatic oper-
ationS is bewildering, making it
difficult even for those verSed in
automotive affairs to decide what
feature represents the greatest en-
gineering contribution of the year.
In view Of this confusion, the
question was put to c. L. McCuen,
director of engineering for Olds-
mobile.
"QuietneSs" was McCuen's reply.
In some cases it is possible to
design out noise; in others it is
necessary to use some means of
deadening it. The 1882 Oldsmobile
engine, both six and eight. is a
good example of this. Noises Gre
ated by rough spots and vibrations
hav been eliminated through Scien-
tiflc design which, while quieting
the operation of the engine, also
has given it a new smoothness
throughout the entire speed range.
"On the other hand, an engine
requires quantities of air to run and
must expel the exhaust from ex-
ploSions-13,O0 900 per minute in the
case of the eight at top speed.
These could not be designed out Of
existence, but air silencers and ex-
haust mufflers could be designed
which would deaden these sounds
to a minimum, and this was done.
The free wheeling and syncro-
mesh transmission is another fea-
ture which contributes as much TO
quietness as 1t does to driving ease.
In fact, desire to eliminate the
clashing of gears during shifting
and the noise of second gear oper-
alton was in a great measure re-
sponsible for the development Of
this super-quiet transmission.
