rled on simultaneously with eff
forts to strengthen the strike
movement which, with the
Briggs and Hudson plants as the
focus, has filled thousands OF auto
workers with new fighting spirit
and has won concrete concessions for
the workers in every plant except
Fords.
The Feb. 10 conference will work
out plans for organizing the strug-
gle for immediate relief, unemploy-
mept insurance and against the wage
cut drive Of the auto kings on a
broader basis The auto workers are
today in the front ranks of the nar
tion-wide fight against wage-cuts.
While total wages have dropped, &C
cording to official figures, from $780,
058,000.000 in 1923 to $2e, 232, 000, 900
in 1882, dividends and interest have
risen from S6,028, 100000 in 1928 to
81, 900, 900, 900 in 1892. The auto in
dustry has been one of the centers
Of the wage-cut drive since the crisis
started, while the bosses, despite
greatly decreased production, have
continued to reap harvest.
The conference next Sunday will
also make preparations for the De-
troit Hunger March on March {, the
day of Roosevelt's Inauguration, and
for the Ford Hunger March on Mar.
z, the anniversary Of the massacre
last year at the Ford Dearborn plant,
in which four workers were murdered.
A preliminary mobilization meet
ing will be held Saturday, Feb 10, at
$50 p. m. by the Marquette Branch
of the Auto Workers Union at the
Ukrainian Workers Home, Carpenter
and Mitchell Ave. All auto workers,
whether members of the union or not,
are urged to come.
The Auto Workers Union IS con-
tinuing to expose the strikebreaking
role of the disrupters who have got
ten control Of the Mack Ave. Briggs
strike committee. These are work
ing hand in glove with the police,
Mayor Murphy's "fact-finding COM
mittee", the capitalist press and the
misleaders of the Detroit Federation
of Labor, the Socialist Party and I,
w. w. A particularly vicious role is
being played by Frank X Martel and
his gang OF A. f. of L. betrayers, who
are now talking about organizing a
new industrial union" Of auto work
ers, a union that will undoubtedly be
willing tool of the bosses.

YELLOW DOG CONTRACTS
FACING N. Y. e. WORKERS

DETROIT, Mich.--President Lores
Of the p, and H. notified the rail
unions last spring that he would be
the union from now on" The union
contract was broken and brotherhood
officials were forced TO sign an anti
union contract doing away with pro-
tective rules and wage and mileage
agreements, which constituted a 20
per cent reduction for D. and H, rail-
way workers.
Meanwhile L ore e has now
plunged in a spectacular buy Of
New York Central railway stock.
During the depression he has been
sitting pretty with a $4,000, 900 profit
he made by milking" the Wabash
Railway, and now he is betting on
New York Central. He "is confident
the New York Central will be pay
ing proposition"
OF course it will, because Loree
knows his stock speculation and
wage-cutting arithmetic. With con-
troll of the New York Central and his
same anti-union contracts for the
New York Central workers, it is OBJ
vious that for a few months this stock
gamble will be q good bet for this
super-gambler.

very, including the CONSPICUOUS Ser
vice Cross.
The capitalist class which was will
ing to sacrifice Weinstein and all
workers in its war for profit is now
anxious to send Weinstein TO a liv-
ing death in prison because he en-
dangered the bosses profits by his
militant participation last summer in
q strike Of furniture workers in this

program of the employers.
Weinstein is charged with the muir
der Of a woman who was fatally in
jured on July 18th of last year in
front of 1882 Southern Blvd, Bronx,
although witnesses have testified thai
at the time the murder was COM
mitted they saw Weinstein picket
ing the shop of the Muskin Manu-
featuring Co., 232 Throop Ave,
Brooklyn, about one hours ride by
subway from the scene of the muir
der.
Harry Frashker, member OF the
Muskin Company, who had threat
ened Weinstein with violence be-
cause Of. his participation in the
strike against that firm, identified
Weiustein as the one who had MUIR
dered the woman"

the city in the department of edu-
cation, transportation, etc. since last
summer have been told to 90 to the
Gibson Committee where they are
offered their old jobs for less than
one fourth Of what they got before,
Their former wages were $40 to $50,
now they are offered $24 for two

Those who suffered from these lay
offs have held a conference where
they decided to demand reinstate-

COLLAPSE OF POLISH
AGRICULTURE

WARSAW, Jan. 90. (By Mail -
The debate in the Sejm on agri-
cultural budget discloses, the catas-
trophic state of farming in Po-
land, The Minister of Agriculture
stated that farm exports had sunk
enormously, butter exports having
dropped SO per cent and meat ex-
ports 81 per cent. Deputy Kalinowski
told the Sejm that more than five
million peasants had no land now.
He said that the impoverishment Of
the rural masses had reached such
a pass that there was absolutely no
hope of any improvement In Poland's
standards of living for many years to
come.

VOLUNTARY" RELIEF
ON THE PENNA. r. X.

NEW YORK CITY.-On the PENN
sylyania Railroad, which also takes in
the Long Island Railroad, we have
what is called The Pennsylvania
Railroad Voluntary Relief Depart
ment. This is to give us an Income, y
when we are too sick TO work. The
contributions, as they are called, run
in to five classes. The first class con-
tributes rs cents a month, for which
the worker receives so cents a day
sick benefit. The only difference be-
tween the first and the fifth class is
that the fifth pays sl.2S month and
gets $500 a day benefit. That would
just about pay for the label on bot
tie OF medicine.
But the benefit doesn't start until
after the 7th day. This is if fellow
had TO stay home ON account Of sick
ness for six days and came to work
on the seventh, he would receive
nothing. SO ne goes back TO work be-
cause he can't live on so cents day.
Now do know that there are cases
where workers are hurt bad, when
they should really be getting cempen-
Sation, but instead they get their SO
cents a day relief for which they pay
and are given to understand that
that is their compensation. in some
cases where the company knows that
the trick cannot be pulled over, the
worker is told to come into work,
but he won't have to do anything.
He might have smashed toe or finger
so he thinks it would be better to
come in and hang around and get
paid for it rather than stay home for
so cents day.
But once on the job, he soon finds
out that he must keep moving; first
they give him some letters to take
around; then he goes to the store
room; then the boss gets Short
handed and asks the worker for a
favor to help him out, but not to
strain himself, and before you know
it, you're on the job in full swing.
Then there are workers who de-
mand compensation or threaten to
sue. Nest compensation cases are
thrown out because you have to prove
the material you are working with is
not to be used in interstate COM
merce. With these workers the COM
pany makes some small cash settle
ment. BUT after a few weeks fault
is found with them and they are
fired. So much for voluntary relief.
For long time the Pennsylvania
Rail Road Systems carried approx
mately 100000 employees on It's relief
scheme, at one dollar a month for
each worker. That would be one
quarter of a million dollars. In adj
dition to this the company squeezed
an additional half million out of its
workers for the Ladies Aid.
I often wonder what becomes of all
these millions of dollars that are so
nicely squeezed out Of the workers
through this so-ealled voluntary
Relief" Ladies' Aid and other
schemes. And why do they call it
voluntary" when every R,R. worker
knows that the first thing they give
us to sign before we get hired Is this
