Strike Sentiment
Grows in Detroit
Despite Delays

day afternoon, Let the powers Of
the workers be felt there.
Thursday at l pm. stop work
for five minutes.
"All workers, all union men act
together!"
The A. F. of L. officials are strain
ing every nerve for surrender. The
workers are resisting and trying to
break through the network of de-
ceit and treachery of the official
dom-thiS sums UP the present
moment in the Detroit auto situa-
ton.
The announcement of Roosevelt's
intervention, which Is clearly a
strikebreaking move at a moment
when the workers were ready to go,
was carefully prepared for by the
A. F. of L. officials, who even gave
the impression that the men were
stalking their hope in the President,
when in reality they were stalking
their hope in strike, which they
voted repeatedly in A F. of L. locals.
The Presidents move was part of
the whole calculated game of post
poning action, giving the manufac-
turers more time to recruit strike
breakers and to debate the strike
spirit.
Fearing the attitude of the work
ers, Green approved the Presidents
statement and this was carried in
special editions of the press before
the evening meetings of the A. F..
of L. locals in order to tie the
workers in advance of their actions.
Workers Insist On Strike
At the Motor Products Co., A. F.
of L. local meeting last night, A. F.
of l.. officials Collins and Thomp-
son resorted to the most shame
less demagogy to stampede the men
into delaying the action appealing
for support to the President De-
spite this, the workers voted to send
q committee to the company with
their demands and to strike Friday
| If these are not granted.
At the Hudson A. F. of l.. meet
ing, Collins had a hard time put
ting over his treacherous delaying
tactics. When militant workers
called for a general walkout, they
were loudly applauded. Angry calls
from the floor met the appeals from
the platform to halt strike action
However, the tactics of the Off
Gals succeeded in view of the agree
ment already made by Green and
Collins.
In Lansing, meetings of the A. F
of L. members revealed similar
attitude.

workers, reports made showed the
sentiment of the workers is solidly
for strike, and that they would at
tempt to pull the plant if they
could not defeat the betrayal tao
tics of the A. F. of L. leaders.
The Auto Workers Union irnme- :
diately on the announcement of the
Roosevelt intervention issued q
leaflet to the Hudson Motor Prod
ucts and the A F. of L. workers,
warning against delay, and sharply
denouncing the last minute post
ponement of the strike when the
men we're ready to walk out. The
leaflet said.
THE manufacturers want to de-
lay to pile up stock, to confuse the
workers, to divide them up and
wear out their fighting spirit.
What would you think of generals
who tell soldiers all ready to go
over the top to wait to delay, and
this not once, but many times. Such
generals would be generals of de-
feat and surrender and not for a
fight and victory. And that is how
the A. F. of L. officials are acting.
Delay from March 7 to March a.,
and again to March 20. and now
once again the officialdom is plead
ing for delay"
1t called for rank and file strike
committees to unite and fight to
prevent confusion. 1t exposed the
game of the manufacturers in call
ing in Roosevelt, pointing out that
the workers could get no satisfac-
tory terms from the President, who
approved the manufacturers slave
code, which is responsible for the
conditions in the industry.
Has Wide Effect
| This appeal of the Auto Work
ers' Union had an effect at the A.
F, of L. meetings, as admitted by
Collins himself.
Monday, the workers in Hudson,
Jefferson plant, stopped work for
one minute in tribute and protest
against the murder of John Bielak,
active A. F. of l.. member, MUIR
dered last week by company gang
sters. In Department 1850 of the
Hudson Gratiot Plant men stopped
for five minutes at $50 Yesterday
morning when the funeral took
place.
Yesterday, fearing a strike in the
Chrysler Jefferson plant, they
slowed down the line and promised
a ten per cent raise. In the Dodge
Plant the line was also slowed down
in one department, and the workers
were also promised an increase,
but no promise was made to the
workers in other departments.
Definite word was received that

committee and the shop steward:

tack in the Far East takes on
greater imninence as a result of
the fact that the two most powerful
imperialist rivals in the Far East,
Japan and the United States, are
busy discussing the possibilities of
rapproachment at this time.
Japanese Seek Agreement
In his letter to Hull, Hirota in
formed American imperialism: ut
is the sincere desire of Japan that
a most peaceful and friendly rela-
ton will be firmly established be-
tween her and her great neighbor
across the Pacific, the United States.
And to this end I have been ex-
erting my best efforts since I took
the post of Foreign Minister.
I hope and believe that the desire
of the Japanese government in this
respect will be reciprocated by full
support and countenance on the
part of your government"
The State Department, replied
Hull, was glad to hear that Japan
has no intention whatever to pro-
woke and make trouble with any
other power" But, IF unhappily
there should arise in the future any
controversy between our two coun-
tries, the American government will
be prepared, as I believe it always
has been in the past, to examine
the position of Japan in spirit of
amity and of desire for peaceful and
just settlement.
From these exchanges, it is clear
that the whole question of the re-
lations of the two imperialist gov
ernments, each seeking to protect
its investments and interests in the
Far East, with the hope of solving
their difficulties at the expense of
their common enemy, the Socialist
Soviet Union.
London, March 21.--The an
nouncement that japanese and
American imperialism are discussing
the possibility of agreement on Far
Eastern questions "has aroused sat-
isfaction" in official circles, it is re-
ported here.
1t was commented here that ia
pans internal position is none too
strong, and that American imperial
ism may press it's advantage to force
further concessions from Japan as
a possible basis for agreement. A
non-aggression pact between the
two countries is limited at. All these
developments contain the menace of
Soviet intervention.

What has been accomplished in this
years festival has been an enormous
step forward in unified choral singing,
and more frequent gatherings of this
kind should continue in order to pro-
mote still more ambitious undertak-
ings. The assistance of the National
Symphony Orchestra formed an in
spring background and the leadership
of DR.. Kinder a centralizing director
ship eliminating the training of the
individual choir conductor. all of whom
deserve special praise for their con-
scientious and untiring work. With
the nucleus formed by these II choirs
there is the possibility of organizing
a festival of still greater proportions
with the cooperation of all the
churches, and such a yearly musical
event should be established as part OF
the musical life of the city.
The united singing of the choirs was
excellent, with good tOnal volume and
especially commendable enunciation.
In the manner of Interpretation there
could be still greater elasticity and
depth, the choirs not quite equaling
the orchestra in this respect. The lack
of sufficient room on the stage for the
placing of the 900 singers, which
. .necessitated the use of the seats on
the side of the stage, may have ham
pered the singers in their striving for
effect. Also more appearances with
an orchestra would intensity and
vivify the lnterpretative ideas and
would surely act as a great inspira-
ton.
The program opened with the Hal
lelujah Chorus" from Handel's Mes
siah," effectively done by the chorus
and orchestra. The "Adagio and AL
legro" from Bach's organ concerto in
G major won instant appreciation
from the audience, as did also the

executed with great beauty. In the
Gloria" from MoZart'S Twelfth
Mass" the clear diction of the sing
ers made every word understandable,
while BachS Jesus, Joy Of My De-
string" was by far the best rendered
of the entire program.

numbers, while the orchestra gave
