NEED FOR ORGANIZATION
IN THE SHOP

The Briggs strike has again de-
monstrated to the District leader
ship as well as to the lower Sec
tons of the Party in our District
the correctness of the Party line
expressed in the 14th Plenum re-
solution of the Party on the need
of building elementary shop organ
izationS. Such organizations deVe-
Hoped as q result of personal con-
facts, in calling together small
groups Of workers and in this way
establishing committees of action.
1t has shown us that in the very
course of building these groups and
committees, the strike began to de-
velop. In other words, the very
fact that we began to develop a
few groups and committees made
1t possible to convince the workers
that strike can be successful.
THE Briggs strike further had
tremendous significance in the
struggle against the wage-cuts in
other plants. The news flashed all
over the city despite the fact that
the capitalist newspapers conscious
ly ignored the strike. The City Edi-
tor of the Detroit News" stated to
the representatives of the Strike
Committee who asked that publ
city be given, ''if we would print
the news of this strike, it would
agitate every single auto worker in
the city OF Detroit" This and the
fact that not single line appeared
in any capitalist newspapers shows,
that the bosses and their press
had an organized policy in this
strike and demonstrates the ire
mendouS value of the Daily Worker
and the Michigan Worker in ac-
quainting the workers with news
of decisive Importance which the
capitalist press refuses to print.
The general work, agitational,
propaganda and organizational,
during the period Of the three days
strike evoked tremendous support
and created desire for struggle on
the part of a large section of De-
troit employed and unemployed
workers. For example, on the Sec
ond day OF the strike, over 400
workers in the Murray Body plant
came out during the noon-hour ex-
pecting to hear the message of the
strike. Further reports show that
similar situation existed among the
workers in other plants. In the
Murray Body and Clayton Lambert
Plants, workers In the tool and die
room got together and decided that
they would refuse to work on any
dies that would come from the
Briggs plant where the strike was
being conducted.
STRIKE ENDS IN
VICTORY.
The strike ended not only in de-
feating the 20 per cent wagc-cut
in the Vernon Highway Plant, but
also in forcing the same company
to withdraw this wage-cut in the
other three Detroit plants. Fur
thermore, the strike defeated 10
per cent wage-cut which was an
nounced at the Hudson Motor Car
