DETROIT, Nov. s. With the
powerful automobile corporations
lined up against them, 1900 tool
and die makers in Detroit and Flint
have put up a most militant strug-
gle for higher wages and union
recognition. Their leaders have
similarly unanswered with the
N.R.A. and other government OFF,
Gals to smash the strike. Lately,
their leaders In the Mechanics Edu-
cational Society have sought to stab
the men in the back by partial
settlements in small shops, to leave
the rest of the men to be victim
lied by the big auto companies.
The Detroit District Of the Com
munist Party, which has been ac-
tive In the strike, had issued the
following declaration to the tool
and die makers and all auto work.
ers:
In the past few weeks, over 17,00C
tool and die makers In Detroit, Flint
and Pontiac have been on strike, de-
handing an increase In wages, short
er hours and the right to organize
in union of their own choice. The
strike came into existence because
the living conditions of the tool and
die makers, formerly on compare
lively high level, had been driven SO
low that many were compelled to
live on the starvation rations of the
Welfare during lay-Off periods

will sweep the entire industry. The
strikes in the Ford Chester, Pa, and
Edgewater, N. j., plants show the
direction in which the wind is blow
ing and bring home the necessity Of
concentrating on developing action IN
the Ford River Rouge plant as the
key plant in the auto industry.
Unity of All Workers
The Communist Party declares
that these coming strike struggles
can be successful only on the basis
of united front action of all auto
workers, and through the develop
inent Of the Auto Workers Union as
mass industrial union, including
Negro and white, native and foreign
born, skilled ana unskilled, controlled
by the rank and file and carrying
through militant policy Of struggle.
Only in this way will we be able to
combat the wage cuts now being car
RED through in various forms. the
speed up, the indirect decrease in
wages through imitation, the denial
OF the right to organize in unions Of
our own choice; only in this way
will we be able to win better con-
ditions for ourselves and cur families.
Prepare for the coming strike
struggles. Bald a powerful auto
workers union! Smash the attack
of the auto companies and the
N.R.A. against the auto workers.
Drive the A. +. OF L. leaders. the
Martells and CollinseS, out of the
Labor Movement and throw after
them their sa1allitss--thc Smiths
and GrifTens! Join the party that
fights for all auto workers, the
Communist Party! Forward TO vic
tory in the coming battles!

Cincinnati JobIess
WmRelief Victories
Big Gains Prove Value
of Mass Actions

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 5.-The
local Unemployed Councils yesterday
cited as examples of the efficacy of
their frequent mass demonstrations
a series of victories recently won by
the workers in their fight to raise
standards of relief for the jobless.
Among these victories they recorded
the following:
/. AT the California Waterworks
Relief Job, under the leadership Of
the Unemployed Councils, a petition
was circulated demanding IS for two
days relief work, instead of being
paid $3.50 cash, and the balance In
groceries, as is the practice on all
two days a week relief jobs. The
petition was unanimously signed and
backed up by the unemployed on the
Job, and the result was that the
demands were granted.
2. The unemployed working every
other week on relief jobs were never
given relief on the weeks that they
did not work. However, the unem-
ployed on the Walnut Hills High
School Relief Job formed commit
tee on the job which presented their
grievances to the Welfare Depart
ment, and the result of this action
was that number of unemployed
received groceries and other neces-
sites the week they were off.
8. In line with the policy of the
MIRA. to increase forced labor, the
IInemplOyed on the tWo-dayS- a week
relief work were made to work half
an hour extra each day. The unem-
ployed at the Woodshed Relief Job
answered this scheme to enslave the
unemployed still further, by walking
off the job. Their action resulted in
the reduction Of the work day to
seven hours.

Biedenkapp Sees Mass
March AS Next Step
Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. - From
the way things look, the only thing
to do is to bring a workers delega-
ton of thousands to Washington to
convince the apathetic National Labor
Board of the strikers determination
not to be forced into the Boot and
Shoe company union, but to have
their own organization. the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union,
recognized" Fred Biedenkapp, gen.
eral secretary of the latter union, an
nounced here after waiting "a hours
for National Labor Board decision.
Biedenkapp, who heads a work
ers' delegation composed of Frank
Costello, Frank McGrath and Matte
Raguso, declared: After waiting in
Washington "a hours for the decision
of the National Labor Board on the
New York shoe strike and after pre-
senting signed summary of the
strike situation, the SL.W.I.U. dele
cation feels that the Board has had
ample time during the past six weeks
to enforce the nominal provisions of
Section 7(a) and the have the board
use its authoritative power to force
the manufacturers to recognize the
strikers representatives and their
chosen organization, the S.L.WIU."
In discussing the hesitancy to act
on the part of the National Labor
Board, Biedenkapp stated that this
heSitancy conceded with the open
statement made last week by William
Green OF the American Federation
OF Labor to the delegation of shoe
strikers when he said: Go back to
work and the National Labor Board
will take care Of you next January"

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.

The big difference between animals
and human beings is that animals do
most of their behaving in the present,
while human beings do a great deal of
theirs in the future. That is, they can
postpone their activities.
Postponed activity Is due to three big
psychological capacities. One of these
is commonly called intelligence, some
times foresight. Another usually goes
under the name of revenge. The third
is called cowardice
Very few types of animals have any
intelligence worth speaking of. o;
course. you may train a dog or ho1se
to behave in fa7hion that smacks OF
intelligence. But such behavior is bJ
no means an indication of general in
telligence. The term habit or condi-
toned reflex will account for practically
all the animal intelligence of which
you have ever heard.
Cowardice is intellectualiz fear. At
times 1t Is good thing. It should bear
a better name, at least more liberal
Interpretation. For it signifies human
capacity that now and then means the
conservation of fame, fortune, pride and
even life itself

Pleasing the Man

COME day. when the man of the
~ house Is IN an especially good
humor, lead him into a discussion Of
the things he likes best to eet end
make mental note OF them. Then IS
soon as possible set thsse notes down
in your kitchen scrspbook where you
will have them at hand in case you
forget them.
Find out, too. If you can, the things
the man liked best on the menu when
he was away on his last trip and learn
how to make them. Also make q note
of these marvellous concoctions which
mother used to make"
Now and then, when he least expects
it. 1t will give him pleasant start to
find that you've made one Of these
cherished dishes especially to please
him. Nothing like a complete surprise
at reasonable intervals to stimulate the
appetite.
One man Of my acquaintance con-
fesses an incurable fondness for GER
tain foreign foods. Being now tied
down with a growing family, he can
no longer roam abroad, but he doesn't
stop thinking about the special dishes
he discovered in his gay young days
when there. Many men are Western
born but living in the East, and vice
versa.
The Southerner in the North never
ceases to hope for the cooking peculiar
to his old environment. It Is a
thoughtful wife, indeed, who remem-
bers this and sees that the man may
relive for the moment some food TO-
nance that he will always remember
Not at all difficult thing to do.
Every library has a file of foreign cook
books and those from all points of our
own compass. In an hour or two one
can take enough notes to provide sur
p..iSe5 for many weeks to come.

1t is interesting to trace the begin

Friday" was named In honor Of
Morse goddess. She was supposed to
be good spirit and there was time
in Europe when people said that Fri
day was "a goodluclz day." In the
course Of centuries, the idea of Friday
being a bad-luck day gained ground.
The truth, of course, is that it's Just

If people let themselves become
nervous about Friday the 18th they
may actually bring harm 20 them

ditch, or bump into some one: but
it will be their state of mind, and not
the day, which is the real cause Of their
ill-fortune.
I hope that the fine boys and girls
of our Corner family will carry with
them all through their lives bravery
and belief only in things which have
