workers to the mercy of Fords blacklist without any
gains
The rank and file Ford strikers have shown their
militant spirit since the start of the strike Called
out strike by the march Of the Ford strikers
from the Chester, Pa, plant the Edgewater workers
began mass picketing Immediately in the face of
police terror and many arrests. At they saw
the need of spreading the strike still further in order
to win and demanded the march TO Detroit to call
out the main Ford plant
The militant action of the rank and fle was car
ried in direct violation of the instructions of the
A. F. of L. organizers. These organizers led by Hugh
Reilly New Jersey state organizer of the A. F. of L.,
from the start gave instructions against picket
ing and openly declared they had made an agreement
with the police that only 100 Ford employees would
picket. These tools of the company refused the offer
of the Unemployed Councils of solidarity, informing
the police to the unemployed off the picket line,
The A. F. of L. organizers brought in Congress-
men, ministers and the state head of the NR.A to
discourage the strikers, and urge them back to work.
They refused to allow the election of rank and file
strike committee, accompanying this suppression of
the rank and file with talk against the Communist
Party They carried all of this strkebreaking
tivity under the slogan of not giving the strike
bad name" Meanwhile 500 to 700 srikebreakers have
crept inside the plant
The betrayal of Reilly is most Grass in the sup
preston of the march to Detroit Because Of rank and
file demand, Reilly agreed to the march, collected
money and food for it, He postponed the march from
day to the next for full week. and then called
it off.
But it is not yet too late. Militant rank and file
action under the leadership of the newly formed rank
and file committee of action win the strike. In
the present situation especially, the militant Auto
Workers Union if brought forward, will guard against
further A. F. of l.. treachery. The demands of the

posed in the Daily Worker several
years ago as operating under various
names of fake organizations and news
agencies, collecting dues" ordering
newspapers and literature from radi-
cal publishing houses and in the end
not paying for them.
Now, during the first week of July.
many active workers in the rcvoltr

announcing the organization of new
National Political Party to be known
as the Farmer Labor Party Of Aner-
ica,'" with headquarters at BismaYk,

A few weeks later the same rnimeo-
graphed letters were mailed from
Wichita, Kansas.
Sometimes he also uses the names
of Farmer Labor Association" ana
Farmer Labor League
In his circulars he solicits 'meni-
bership at 81 per year." for which he
promises ito place your name on our
.letter-head and to act as one I the
officials and members of the Ma
tional Committee"
All workers should beware of this

For the Interests of the Entire
Class

TdE necessary concentration OF our work on the
most important factories does not of course in any
way mean that we should allow our work among the
unemployed to slacken
In carrying out this main task we should not for
an instant lose sight of the fact that represent
the interests of the entire class and that especially
under the present conditions, the unemployed cons
ttue factor of greatest revolutionary importance
One of the chief tasks of the Party Is the Or
ganzng and mobilzing of the millions of unemployed
Tor immediate relief and unemployment insurance and
the linking up of their struggles with the struggles of
the workers in the big factoriesfull- time as well as
part-tme workers-especially now, in view of the in
PRODUCTION of miltarzed forced labor for the unern-
ployed and the increased attempts to bring them un-
der reformist and fascist influence.
But the Party cannot carry out this task sue
cessuly unless at the time 1t establishes its base
in the decisive big factories
Hunger marches and other activities of the un-
employed must be accompanied by sympathetic actions
on the part OF the workers in the factories while the
actions of the workers in the factories must receive
the most active support from the unemployed"

certain reaction has been noted

Communist Party was arrested and
later released because marines In the

testing against The massacre Of Sept.

by the army and the fascist bands
Of the Ejefcito Caribe (Carib Army.
The Regional Federation of Labor,
with the support of the revolutionary
organizations and of the Cuban Ma
tional Confederation of Labor, de-
clared a general strike in protest
against the attacks by the govern
ment on the Red unions and the Gu
ban Communist Party.
Yesterday a group of yellow"
workers, in combination with men,
bers of the fascist organizations, A..
B. c., and the Student Directorate,
with guns and clubs in their hands,
assaulted some tobacco factories
here. Then they went to the Work
ers' Center, broke in the doors, seized
the red flag and the Hammer and
Sickle and burnt them in the City
Park
All this reveals the fascist char
acter of the new government, which,
like the others, has the support of
Yankee imperialism, which, in COM
bination with the national bour-
geoisie, tries to break the revolu-
tionary movement of the Cuban
masses.
