are to report on the answer of the
company. The militant rank and
file members of the local are de-
termined to press for strike action
If the demands are refused. These
militant trade unionists are warn
ing their fellow workers against the
attempts of the A. r. OF L. officials
to delay action and prevent them
from fighting for their demands.
The Auto Workers Union has en-
dorsed the action of the rank and
file A. p. Of L. workers and is pre-
pared to support the struggle TO the
fullest extent.
DETROIT, Mich, April 4.-Mass
layoffs are facing the automobile
workers. After having piled up
production, the automobile com
panies are beginning to lay-off the
men, eliminating so-called "ineffi-
cient," and speeding up the others.
On Monday, the Packard plant laid
off ten per cent of the workers with
more scheduled to follow. The
Fisher Body plant in Flint. Mich.
has laid off 1,500, and several entire
departments of the Buick plant in
Flint have been laid off. The Ford
plant is also dropping men.
At the same time, those remain
ing on the jobs are having hours
cut, thus reducing the weekly wages.
Yesterday some men from every de-
partment of the Chevrolet plant
were sent home after having worked
only a few hours. The excuse given
was that they had been working too
many hours. The Chevrolet work.
ers have heard nothing yet about
the increase in hourly rate which
was announced by the automobile
companies on March Is as a maneu-
yer to smash the strike action of
the men.
At Chevrolet, the grip of the COM
pany union is being strengthened
through the passage by the Works
Council company union) of a mo-
ton that anybody who works five
days in Chevrolet becomes eligible
for membership.

real workers union. The workers.
thinking that these are trade union
organizers, responded eagerly to the
suggestion, only to find that they
are members Of company union.
In this way the company is trying
to create the impression that the
company union is being voluntarily
formed by the workers themselves.
The Auto Workers Union is hold
ing series of mass meetings this
week to intensity united action for
the workers demands. Tonight the
Hudson Gratiot local OF the Auto
Workers Union Is calling meeting

advances of the struggles led by
Communists in the South.
"At the extraordinary Party
conference in July" he said, ut
was reported we had 5000 MEM
bers in the Share Choppers Union.
At the present time. in spite of
terror raised against Negro and
white share troopers, in spite of
the lOw-hanging lynch clouds that
burst frequently, we now register
a membership Of 5000, with 400
functiOning locals" he said to ire
mendous applause.
He told of the spread of the union
ever The Georgia State line into
Alabama. He described Roosevelt'S
efforts to rivet new slavery on the
black and white share choppers
through the Bankhead Bill.
"The Party is gaining" he
added. ut is now beginning to
function as the real leader of the
share troopers in the South and
for the right of self determination
of Negroes in the Black Belt" He
sharply criticized the sectarian
and mechanical means of putting
forward this slogan, showing the
necessitating of linking it with the
day-to-day fight for Negro rights
and for winning the immediate
demands Of the Negro masses.

He told of founding nuclei in the
mightiest steel and coal centers in
the South.

portance of drawing into our organ

We must clear up in the minds OF
the white share troopers in the
South what winning elf-determin-

tory"
He declared the Party In Alabama
had set itself the task for the next
three months of winning one thou

Choppers Union and $50 new Party
members.

For the first time in the history
Of this city," Dsvidow continued, "a
white collar picket line was estsb-
lished yesterday afternoon at the
Port Authority Building. The pro-
gram Of action hammered out by

the city Offices of the Unemploy-
ment Councils will be the central
picket Office at which picket lines
will be formed for the various CIV.

The Greater New York United
Front Conference on C.wA. and
Unemployment, which reconvenes
on Sunday, will hear reports on the
activities conducted during the past
two weeks, and will plan a program
of action against C.W.A. flrings and
wage cuts. Definite protest actions
will be decided upon, and local and
city-wide struggles will be formu-
lated.
In addition to job delegates, every
workers organization is urged to
elect delegates to the April Con-
ference. Workers on jobs that are
not represented should Immediately
elect delegates. Unorganized work
ers in neighborhoods should circu-
late credentials and obtain sigma
lures for representation on the
blocks.
Conference Committee To Meet
The Committee of One Hundred,
which will meet on Friday at pm.
at IL w, 18th st. to plan the agenda
of the April 8 conference, urges a
joint struggle of all employed and
unemployed against the drastic
wage cuts which have gone into eff
feet on all work relief projects.
In speaking for the committee,
Davidow said, THE wage cuts will
be used to lower still further the
starvation levels of the relief given
to the unemployed. Commissioner
Hodson has said that I'VE must go
back to a relief wage. :. and that
only to the destitute" Struggles
must be developed on the jobs to
defeat the wage cuts of the La
Guardia administration. For the
skilled workers the wage cuts of the
LaGuardia administration amount
to so per cent; laborers will, &C
cording to the ruling of Washing
ton, get the coolie wage of $40 a
week: Hodson has said that white
collar workers will be cut, and they
have already been cut II per cent.
The April Conference will organ
ize these workers for a city wide
struggle against the LaGuardia
wage cuts"

shortcomings and neglects,
Declaring that the Communist
Party in Southern Illinois had nov
$50 miners in its ranks. a delegatC
from that district issued the follow
ing challenge:
I'VE will challenge the Pennsyl-
vania soft coal region Of the Party
in the winning Of new members
for the Party and in building the
Daily Worker. We hope through
this challenge we will have a real
movement in both fields"
He told of the struggle against
Pearcy and Keck in the Progressive
Miners, and the Lewis regime in the
U. M. w. A., for building a united
front of the rank and file against
both the PIMA. and U.M.W.A. lead
ership.
All of the speeches we're rich in
incidents and experiences which il
is difficult to report in the space
available.
Work in Auto
A delegate from Detroit, working
in the auto industry, fresh from
participation in the recent great
struggles, told of the shortcomings
of the Party, and its recent squirt
of activity. He called attention to
the need of having members Of the
Central Committee to give personal
guidance in concentration work and
in such situations as the threaten
ing auto strike, which was a great
test for the Party.
Work Among Women
A woman delegate from the
Southern Illinois spoke of her ex-
periences in winning the miners
wives for struggle and for the Com
munist Party.
At one meeting of the women's
auxiliary we had discussion, and
1 told them / was a Communist
Several women came up and said:
1--WE are Communists too" We
didn't have any contact with
them before. Many of them
thought that Mrs, Week, the
Musteite social-faScist, was
Communist, and that Is why they
followed her. It showed how lax
we were in exposing her and put
ting the Communist Party pro-
gram forward in the fight against
the social-fascists."
Women are among the best fight
ers, she declared; showing how the
women in Southern Illinois were
more numerous in the picket lines
than the men, and that more Of
them were jailed for their activities
