To Prosecute Firm
for Open Shop
BY NAT GANLEY

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 18-The
decision of Attorney General Homer
S. Cummings not to prosecute the
Houde Engineering Company OF
Buffalo for violation of N. R. A.
rulings has a special significance.
This decision has given a setback
to Bill Green's attempt to whip up
new wave of illusions in regard
to the N. R. A. in general and its
Vaccinations in the auto industry
in particular. Naturally Commings
would never have made this deci-
sion without the full approval of
Roosevelt.
The Houde Engineering Corp
comes under the heading of auto
parts, manufactures shock absorb
ers, and has Henry Ford as one OF
its largest customers. An election
carried through in the plant to de-
ternine the representatives of the
workers in collective bargaining
Melted the following results: 1105
votes for the A. F. of L. union
CAT votes for the association OF
company union, and 400 abstentions
On the basis Of this vote the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board made
a decision that the A. F. Of L. hao
the right to represent the employees
in the plant in collective bargaining
with the, employer. This ruling was
a challenge to the legislation of the
company unions which was put over
in the auto code.

turers and the National Association

All you can get is plenty of run

more. They believe that for the
present lime at least they can get
better results in preventing and
breaking strikes through the COM
pany unions than through Green
and company. In an emergency
they can always call upon them any
how.
4. Only an effective united strike
struggle will force the employers to
grant recognition to the workers
own unions in the auto industry.
The manufacturers, their govern
ment agents and labor burocrats
are in one united camp against the
automobile workers. They are al
ready starting wage cuts which will
grow in intensity during the next
production season unless we stop it.
The auto workers must confront the
united front of the manufacturers
with the united front of labor. The
A. F. of L. federal locals, M. E. S. A.,
Auto Workers Union and other
legitimate independent unions in
the auto industry must join hands
in common struggle to abolish
the N. R. A. boards, the open shop
Auto Code and for higher wages
shorter hours and improved work
ing conditions in the industry. Our
first step should be to get together
and draw up a united workers code
for the auto industry which should
be presented by a joint delegation
in Washington during the open
hearings on Nov. 3. If we don't
hang together, then we will hang
separately.

not been prepared, and other SINH
lar evasions.
The Reich Ministry of Justice"
stated today that the maximum
penalty that could be imposed on
Thaelmann was ten years in pris
on, but the fact that official Nazi
organs have called for the execu-
ton of Thselmann indicates in
what great danger the leader of the
German working class stands. The
Nazis have repeatedly and deliber-
ately inspired similar stories, de-
nying their plans for the execution
of Ernst Thaelmann, in an effort
to slacken the campaign for his
release, as well as for the freedom
of other anti-fascist prisoners.
German C. P. Asks. Aid
Information coming from the
Central Committee of the Conmu-
mist Party of Germany declares
that, notwithstanding the mislead-
ing fascist reports, Thaelmann's
trial may take place now any day
without warning. The Central
Committee emphasizes that the
brutal savagery OF the fascists is
not to be trusted for an.instant and
that such maneuver Of deprecat-
ing the danger to Thaelmann's life
must act as a call Of alarm to rouse
more and greater reserves Of pro-
test and indignation. More cables
to the Peoples Court" of Berlin!
More and stronger demonstrations
before the consula.es and emhas-
sizes! Increase the letters and APP
peals to all organizations and in
dividuals to save Thaelmann!
In response to the call OF the
Anti-Nazi Federation to intensity
the fight for the life and freedom
of Ernst Thaelmann, the City Cen
trail Committee of the International
Workers Order yesterday called on
all it's members to join in picketing

went further and came out with the
following counter proposition to the
Houde decision:

Individual collective bargaining

one bill from any art novelty con-
Germ which would prove that he
was in business. Before this pres
sure he had trusingly delivered the
records of steel organizers, John
Mellon and Deter Chappa now in
possession Of the Daily Worker.
These records are compiled on
the basis of various types of in
formation. A great primary source
are working class ones. From
Tuttle's files the Daily Worker has
secured a picture of May Day
celebration addressed by Pat Cush
and on it Carnegie Steels outside
man" is plainly marked. OF course
in periods preceding strike the
companies most important source is
the inside man.
How Spies Are Made
Usually he is a worker who had
got into trouble. AS a prospect he
is carefully observed and investi-
gated as to income, family condi-
tions, expenditures, etc. Sometimes
several weeks are put into this
study before he is approached with
an offer of extra money and the
certainty of job. Sometimes, II
the man is having financial trouble
he is fired just before the offer. In
the approach, emphasis is placed
on the lack of danger since he is to
send in his reports signed either by
a number or a fictitious name. Once
he is in their tolls, his life work is
cut out for him. He will never be
able to keep his hands clean in that
particular industry or town.
In hooking" organizers even more
caution is exercised. AS a rule
they are approached in car while
walking and if he shows no interest
at all, the car drives on. In one OF
these cases the organizer succeeded
in noting the license number
Pennsylvania s. 3059-and the in
vestigation showed that it was car
owned by Kissel Skiles' Rent-A-
Car garage. From there it was i'm
possible to trace them.
Time and again the espionage
heads have come up against this
inexplicable problem of the honest
worker. They shrug and try again
That they can be successful is at
tested by the files Room 1910. Fred
Rentz one of the cleverest spies
uncovered in the industry, operated
for years. He came into the Party
in Baltimore and transferred to
Philadelphia around 1929. BY 1896
he was acting as city organizer
of the Metal Workers Industrial
League and even as secretary of the
District Control Commission. A
worker who had known of his &C
tivity in Bethlehem happened into
the Party office and demanded the
investigation which resulted in his
exposure. AS you see, it was purely
accidental. Regardless of his SEEM
ing value as good capable COM
rade, Rentz should never, under any
circumstances, have occupied q
position of trust in the Party. Five
important shop committees were
destroyed by him and he did other
untold damage.
Just how spies of his type are
trained and planted will be told
in tomorrow's Daily Worker, ac-
companied by photostats of in
structions sent to operatives by
one of the largest spy outfits,
