Since 1895 the Auto Workers
Union has led every major strike Of
automobile workers in the country.
It is the only organization that has
worked persistently and patiently TO
build an organization Of automobile
workers and prepare the auto workers
to strike against wege-cuts and for
better conditions. In doing this work,
it had to overcome the lying props-
Eanda of the leaders of the A. r. OF
L., the I. W. w. and the Socialist
Party. who claimed IL was impossible
TO win strikes in time of depression
and Unemployment.
This year automobile workers in
several plants felt that they we're
organised sufficiently to offer resis-
lance 10 further wage cuts The
record Of the Union this year is
victory for every strike led by the
Auto Workers Union.
Manufacturers Look Around for Help
Auto manufacturers are alarmed.
The old system Of slave-driving can
not work against auto workers who
are aroused and organized under the
militant leadership Of the Auto Work
ers Union. Stool-pigeons and COM
pany spies are no longer as effective
against thousands of workers deter
mined to organize and fight.

different craft organizations claim

able to divide and confuse the

before the organized might of the
employers. The A. F. OF L. policy
of discrimination against Negro and
foreign born workers would help to
further divide the workers.

are used. Those presses that have
automatic devices meant for ordinary
rates OF speed, do not stop when they
are speeded up. For these presses an
additional safety brake is essential.
In most cases, the brakes are not pro-

practically impossible of achievement
every time Also, in their holy haste
to capitalize as much as possible the
demand for puzzles, the iig-ssw boss
es are hiring underpaid, inexperienced
boys TO operate the complicated press
eS. Finally, as a result Of the terri
fic speed-up, workers become quickly
exhausted, and when the bosses force
the workers on TO more and more
speed while tired, the accidents be-
come inevitable. Most Of the acci-
dents have happened during the hours
when bosses sleep, but workers are
grinding out profits for them--the
night shift.
Having already driven the cultural
Level Of the masses down to such q
level where so great a demand for
jig-saw puzzles is possible, American
capitalism finds new opiate to keep
the minds Of the workers off their
misery
The bosses flood the country with
every size, shape, and description, and
grind out horrible, human jig-saw

Horrible Facts
In st. Vincent's Hospital in Man

Reorganize Insurance Racket
As the banks are being reorganized

the small depositors, so the insurance
companies are to be reorganized at
the expense of the policy holders and
the widows and orphans whose only
means of livelihood is insurance pol
icies felt by their deceased husbands
and fathers.
Billions of dollars of insurance as
sets are in farm mortgages, other
real estate paper, in public utilities.
industrials, etc. The continued deep
ening of the crisis makes it imposs-
ible for the insurance trust to realize
dividends and interest off their game
so they now have the assistance of
the state government in getting theirs
by victimizing the policy holders.
With initiation started now, those
few policies that will be paid out will
be in deprecated currency and will
not buy as much as before initiation
was started.
