anything out of Ford's by individual
effort. The corrupt and senile
power of the Ford Exec. can be
beaten by the Ford workers. The
Ford workers can write in all con-
fldence to the Auto Workers Union,
4210 Woodward, Detroit, Michigan.
Steps will be taken to get into
touch with them without the Ford
Service Department interference.
Ford workers should ask them
selves, are they going to be content
to let these thieving Ford execu-
tives rob them of their necessary
increase in wages?

about. Right here he let the cat
out of the bag.
The job was a three-hour ride
from New York. He could not tell
me at the first interview where it
was. He expressed himself that
way. The job pays 70 cents to so
cents an hour, according to the
work I would be assigned to. AS a
reward for my spying work, am
to get $45 per month extra. I am
to report every other day on what
is going on in the shop. The re-
port is to be made to the New York
Office.
My main qualification was to be
a good mixer. Report anyone that
is attempting to organize. But at
the same time I am to work myself
into an official capacity in the
union. To watch the foremen in
the place particularly as to their
sympathy with the union.
I was told to write 15-page
letter to Mr.. Victor Hunt as to my
observations as I leave his Office,
so he could determine whether I
have the keen observation powers
required for this job. The sub
stance of this letter was to be: as
left the Office, did I see anything
wrong?-with the elevator man,
with the starter in the building; if
there are any meetings in Columbus
Circle, what I observed of the
crowd, the speakers, ETC., what I
thought of my conversation with
Mr.. Hunt, etc. I promised to con-
suit my wife on all this, and left
the place
A warning to all locals of the
Steel & Metal Workers Industrial
Union and all other unions
throughout the country: Check up
on this scab outfit in your city.
Watch those who enter this place.
Expose these rats they hire the
moment they get on the job. I have
no doubt that these people are the
bosses outfit of the Metal Trades
Association disguised under various
other names.

A.A. Leaders, Betrayal
Builds Sentim emit
for Independent Union
BY a Worker Correspondent

WARREN, Ohio.-This is a steel
town, there has been strike led
by the S.M.WIU. in 1890, but it
was not successfully carrie d
through. Nevertheless, it has made
such an impression on the steel
workers that our Party is winning
prestige among them.
Lately the A. A. was organized
The workers at first hearing the
promises of better conditions, etc.
of the A. A. leaders, which was
all a fake. There really was no
strike but lockout, which resulted
in electing a committee of be-
trayers of the A. A. to the Arbitra-
ton Board in Washington with no
answer at all about the conclusion
of the meeting. AS a result we
are making some progress in the
locals Of A. A. and in the shop
among the workers. The senti-
ment of the workers there are for
their own independent union. Since
the lockout and betrayal of the
A A leaders, the conditions in
the shop have been worse, work
ing two to three days a week.

KrauSe, Williams, De blanche, Mid
dleton, and Rooney, the Ford eX-
ecutiYes concerned were running all
over the various departments try
ing to find out where the informa-
zion came from, and to cover them
selves up. We know they we're all
called up to the main Office for
questioning and like the rats they
are they could not take it and are
trying to pass the buck on the Ford
workers and some Of the smaller
bosses They are trying to break
up ali talk of their thieving by
splitting up all the men whom they
think might know something and
send them to all parts of the plant
out of the way. We know that their
thieving gang was spread in every
part of the plant. The notorious
Ford Service Department is involved
heavily. We want to tell Krause
and Company that we have not told
all we know yet.
The Ford Workers Wages
These rotten and corrupt Ford
Executive Administrators are the
men who emphaticaIly state that SIS
day is plenty for any Ford worker
They might, they say extend it to
$500 up to $3.50 a day and in a
few instances even be generous to
give Sc day. In any case they
could not give any more because
the cost Of the jobs is already too
high. Here we have these Ford
Executive Administrators using up
mems time month after month and
thousands Of dollars Of material for
their own personal use and their
friends. This is all put down to a
job number and is charged on the
cost sheet as such. This is what
makes the job cost so much.
Take a particular case, job is
costed to take % men with $4,000
of material, four weeks to complete.
Ten or twelve of these men with
$1,000 worth of this material are
using it to make up all kinds of
articles for the personal use of these
Ford Executive Administrators and
their friends The ten to twelve
men who are left on the costed job
are driven and speeded up as far
as they can go to make up the time
of the rest of the men Who are
supposed to be on this job. The
jobs are slapped up anyway and
often accidents happen as the re-
suit of this infamous corrupt tribe
Of Ford's administrators.
We want to point out to the Ford
workers that at no time has there
been a chance to call the bluff OF
these Ford officials like the present.
We want to suggest that on no
account should they allow them
selves to be provoked. We know
that it's difficult to stand pat and
to be domineered by tripe like
these. But they are just trying to
get the chance to fire you. We
suggest that groups of Ford work
ers should be formed in every de-
partment in the plant and then
make a combined demand for an in
crease in our wages and also make
a determined effort to control the
working conditions. We can do 1t.

Metal Workers Tear Up
Anti-Red Resolution

By Metal Worker Correspondent
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.-At our
meeting last night, Thursday, a
letter was read, sent to our Local
No. 7, A. F. of L., Metal Polishers
Union, by President Green's sec
rotary. 1t stated that the Reds,
Communists" were under control
of the Third international and die
tated to the Reds here, and were
undermining our organization, as
well as the government, and that
all known Reds and agitators should
be kicked out of all locals in the
A. F. of L. But when it was read
one of our members made a motion
to tear it up, and throw it in the

| &1SteNAAeet, Nv
Dear Comrade Editor:
I remember last year when Gov
ernor Talmadge came out with the
statement that unemployed workers
are lazy and buns and he also add
ed that he would send those who
are not working to the Georgia
chain gang for forced labor.
-Four days before the election I
was at Macon. He came out with
the demagogy that when reelected
he would not call any soldiers to
break the strike, but as soon as he
got reelected he called cut the SOL
dierS to break the strike, and he
put the militant workers in Jail, and
militant women workers to the in
termed camps. The capitalist press,
the radio, the moving pictures and
all the big bosses try to tell us
that mothers, sisters and daughters
are well cared for in these camps.
We, the conscious workers, know
how they will take care of the
workers in the chain gang.
They now have many militant
workers in Jail. The only charge
they have against them is that
they are radical" although in the
South they accuse all of the mill
tant workers of being radical"
We know that Governor Tai
madge is there to serve the big tex
tile owners. This strike teaches us
who are our friends and enemies
Only the Communist Party helps
us to organize for better wages and
better conditions.

The workers of the Photophone

confronted with the introduction of

Of Premium Plan were successful
in defeating this system-through a
30 minute stoppage. The manage

credit the committee that put up
the fight against the Premium
system.
The day following the stoppage a
letter was sent to Dept. P. D. No.
So, addressed to the committee tell

wage-cut, by agreeing to accept day
work instead of the Premium

swered this letter Of the manage
ment in clear unmistaken language.
They told the management that at
no time did the union nor any of
its committees accept any wage
cuts.
Furthermore the management of
the firm agreed to discuss further
adjustment in the wages after a 80
day trial period. This letter was
explained to our department meet
ing by our committee and received

members.

Falling Hair

S. T., BrOnx:-Falling of the hair
is very often hereditary in ten
dency. If there has been early
badness among your relatives, your
prospects are poor. If not, take
hope. Very often people complain
of falling hair for years and never
get bald, simply because there al
ways is a certain amount of hair
lost on brushing or washing, which
grows back.
Measures directed toward the
general health are important. A
proper amount of food, rest, ex-
ercise and sleep are helpful.
Hair can be washed once a week
with hot water and plain CASTLE
soap. If you also have dandruff,
a lotion like this is helpful:
Bichloride of mercury -. "a grain
ReSorcln . . 2 drains
Alcohol 4 ounces
If the scalp is very dry, you can
add teaspoonful of castor oil. No
hat, or a loose fitting one, is good
in fair weather In rain or cold
you had better wear a hat.

Urges Publicity Fund
The principal speaker, following
delicious chicken dinner served
by the women of Seeley, was
| Charles A. Horrworth of the ALL
Year Club of Southern California,
who gave an inspired talk on pro-
motional activities and tourist
, travel and urged that the county
I of Imperial should create a fund
by levy of small tax to provide
money for pubiicizing Imperial
| Valley in order that this commun-
! ity may participate in tourist in
! come, which brought $2,500, 900, 900
! to California in the year 1888. Horr-
worth stated, eff you want to make
| this county ricn beyond your
dreams you can do so, but you
must spend few dimes to bring
people here.'
The speaker stated that 80 per
cent of the tourists who visit CAL
| ifornia come from agricultural
| areas. Imperial Valleys agri-
CULTURE he stated, sis more in
teresting to them than the Won
ders OF Mount Whitney. They are
more interested in how you make

due to your kindness in mapping
out an itinerary for us to follow
while in the valley.
Your section has developed be-

development and business activity
and feel that probably made a
mistake in not taking up a home

years ago. I might have been one
of you if I had and at this time
would be raising citrus fruit if ]
had had the proper vision.
When we left Imperial Valley
we took the old Butterfield Trail
out, which I had travelled in the
early days. We were pleased to
follow the old trail and see the old
landmarks. Altogether we had a
fine trip. I should like to visit in
your community again and hope
may have the pleasure of doing so
Sincerely
