BOARD GIVES
FALSE NEWS
ON AUTO VOTE
lnterp rets Bargaining
Poll as Opposition
To Real Unions
By A. B. Magil
Especial to the Daily worker


DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 25.-The
Roosevelt-appointed Automobile La
Dor Board struck another blow at
the trade unions when it issued
statement designed to create the
impression that nearly 80 per cent
of the auto workers who have thus
far voted in the elections for So
called collective bargaining repre-
sentatives are opposed to genuine
trade unionism.
The Labor Boards statement de-
clares that of 1886 votes cast,
34,273 voted for unaffiliated candi-
dates, while only five per cent voted
for the American Federation of La
Dor, one-half Of one per cent for
the Mechanics Educational Society
of America, and the remainder for
six other organizations.
What the Automobile Labor
Board fails to point out is the
shameless trickery Of these elections
through which collective bargaining
agencies are being established that
really disguised company unions.
Most of the so-called 'unaffiliated"
candidates, for whom the workers
have been duped into voting, are
company union men.
The hatred of the workers for
the company unions is evidenced by
the fact that despite the pressure
and intimidation which has been
eXerted by the companies for
months, the vote for the open COM
pany unions in most plants has run
behind the legitimate trade union
vote. This despite the fact that the
leadership of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor and the Mechanics
Educational Society of America have
both boycotted the elections.
This is indicated by the results
made public today Of the balloting
in the Dodge Plant, the largest in
which elections have thus far been
held Of 1928 votes cast, 997 voted
for the American Federation of La
bOI, 10 4OI GllG MECHANICS EGuca-
tional Society of America and only
eleven for the company union,
with scattered votes for the Auto
Workers Union, the 1. w. w. and
the Associated Automobile Workers
Of America.
The Communist Party has issued
thousands of leaflets, entitle d:
plain Talk to the Auto Workers"
pointing out the wage cuts taking
place in various plants and the
great increase in speed-up, and call
ing on the workers not to put their
trust in any new labor boards that
may be established or in the Amer

. spring, but to set up new rank and

U.T.W. Chiefs

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. Is
Officials of the United Textile
Workers, members of the emergency
board. filed complaints yesterday
against five violators of recent de-
cisions of the National Textile
Labor Relations Board, with At
torney General Cummings for
prosecution.
It is virtually certain that the
Department of Justice will make
plans to prosecute, as long drawn
out court procedure is one of the
means next in line by the national
officials of the U. T. w. and Of the
N. r. A. to hold off another general
strike.
The document signed by Thomas
Mcmahon, president of the U. T.
w. names the following companies:
Duplan Silk Company, Wilkes
Barre, Pa; Clinton Cotton Mills,
Clinton, S. c.; Indianapolis Bleach
ing Company, Indianapolis, Ind:
Groves Thread Company of Gas
tonia; and Hanna Picket Mills of
Rockingham, N C. All of these
have ignored decisions to reinstate
union workers.

lows loud talk by MacMahon and

that a general strike will be called
this Spring, if those mills will not
be prosecuted. Upon hearing that
