D|E-HARD DRYS
FIGHT REPEAL
IN COURTS
BY International News Service

By International News Service
A surprise court attempt to
prevent prohibition repeal from
becoming effective December 5
was being planned today by a
group of fighting drys.
Although dubious of the sue
cess OF the movement, since 81
States have voted for repeal and
the last necessary ratification
convention will be held December
5, the dry group is exploring
every possible legal angle of at
tack.
Chase Leads Move
Canon william Sheafe Chase.
secretary of the international
Reform Federation, disclosed that
the movement is not only under
way 70 prevent ratification from
becoming effective, but that the
court battle will be continued in
any event. He said:
1--WE must find a way to
hold up repeal on December S,
and we have plans. We are not
ready to disclose them, but we
will in due time"
While some dry leaders have
accepted repeal as mere matter
Of formality, the Chase group
will fight through to the Supreme
Court, under present plans.
Two LOOphOleS Seen
Two cases - one in PennSyl-
Vania and one in Vermont-offer
the drys a chance to assail the
constitutionality of repeal in the
high court, he said.
While the drys failed in an
attempt to prevent the repeal
ratifics ton election in Pennsyl-
vania, they still have the chance
to have the method declared in
valid.
After a decision in the Dauphin
county court, however, the Rev.
Mr.. Chase explained, the drys
would have to appeal to the
Pennsylvania supreme court be-
fore reaching the nations high
tribunal.
Another move before the Ver-
mont supreme court, he said,
cannot be complete until in
January.
The dry group claims the con-
stitutional conventions which con-
sidered repeal were neither rep
Tesentative nor deliberative as
contemplated by the Federal Con-
gtitution.

Ford Detroit Plant
Lays Off $4,000;
Strikers Solid
Opposition Growing to
Secret Negotiations
of NJ. E. S.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. Fearing
the spread of the strike movement in
the auto industry to its River Rouge
plant, the Ford Motor Co. has laid of
10000 workers. The first lay-off of
5000 men took place Wednesday. The
next day, following the distribution
of leaflet of the Dearborn Local of
the Auto Workers Union, calling on
the Ford tool and die-makerS to strike
and on the production men to pre-
pare for strike action, 1900 ad-
ditional men were laid off There
are now only about 1900 workers
in the plant.
The Auto Workers Union Is ac-
lively organizing the Ford workers for
strike action. The tool and die
makers strike, embracing more than
$4,000 workers in Detroit Flint and
Pontiac, and the strikes In the Ford
plants at Chester, Pa, and Edgewater,
N. j., have created strong. strike
sentiment among the men at the CEN
trail Ford plant. At a meeting in
Dearborn Friday night, called by the
Auto Workers Union, 500 Ford work.
ers voiced their determination to
fight for higher wages, the inhuman
speed-up and the whole vicious Ford
system. The Auto Workers Union Is
holding a series of meetings of Ford
workers throutout this week.
The much ballyhooed hiring Of
5000 veterans by the Ford company
is being revealed as a shameless
swindle. Only about 600 to TOO vets
have actually been given jobs, dis
placing other workers, some OF whom
are also veterans.
Meanwhile a growing rank and file
opposition movement is beginning to
seriously embarrass the leaders of the
Mechanics Educational Society, who
are conducting secret negotiations
with the MIRA Board in an effort to
end the tool and diemakers' strike as
speedily as possible without substan-
tial gains for the workers.
The original demand of $1.5o an
hour minimum wage has been scaled
down by the leaders to 81 an hour
and 80 cents for helpers. Instead of
the 30-hour week, which the men had
voted for before going out on strike,
the Smith Griffen clique at the head
Of the M. E. s. has put over de-
mand for 40-hour week.
At many Of the shop meetings the
strikers are beginning to come out
more and more openly In criticism OF
the leadership. The program of the
rank and file opposition, calling for
the wage and hours demands origin
ally adopted, for the election Of broad,

committees for daily reports regarding
all negotiations, for spreading the
strike to patternmakers, designers and
craftsmen, as we'll as to the produc-
ton workers, is gaining wider and

clous surroundings of the scab Willard
Hotel, in an atmosphere totally for
eign to those they claim to represent
labor leaders will meet in the 53rd
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor. At the same
time scores of delegates elected by
the membership of their local unions
will meet at national conference in
the Carpenters Hall which is owned
by the American Federation of Labor
Union. Fifteen delegates left from
New York City alone.
The A. F. of L. convention opens in
the midst of one of the greatest strike
waves witnessed in this country. Yet
the whole period prior to the con-
vention was used by the officials to
stifle this strike movement, but with
out success. With the great surge for
organization, the labor takers are
torn by jurisdiction strife, to collect
dues.
The Attempts of the professional
labor traitors to parade the MIRA as
boon to the workers has met with
failure.
The rank and file conference, which
will be attended by men and women
fresh. from their participation in strike
struggles, will discuss ways and means
of furthering. movement to fight
against the new attacks on the
workers.
Membership Dropped
For weeks in advance, Green and
his cohorts advertised the tremendous
growth of the federation membership
1t will undoubtedly come as a sur
prise to many that there has been
slump in membership of 4o5, 900 since
August last year. According to Sec
rotary Frank Morrison the member
ship on August 81, this year was
2,126,796 as compared with 2,532,36
in the previous year and 4,078, 730
during its peak of 1920.
The rank and file conference will
raise sharply the demand for unem-
ployment insurance, for which 1t has
fought consistently. It will expose
the treacherous action Of last years
A. F. of L. convention, which went
on record for unemployment insur-
ance, only to betray it. The con-
ference will be a means OF greater
qualification Of the opposition In the
A. F. of L., which has grown con-
siderably in the past year.
Faced with growing revolt against
its treachery, William Green courl-
sells workers on the eve OF the con-
vention not to strike. Carrying out
the desires Of his masters, and, speak
ing for the reactionary crew which
dominates the leadership, Green
wants to stop the surging movement,
which in the mining fields alone ex-
emplifies tremendous challenge.
1t is not the convention of the
labor takers, but the rank and file
conference taking place in the same
city and the miners conference in
Uniontown. Pa, which will speak for
the workers.
