Workers Lives Endangered
AS Ford Rushes Production
By an Auto Worker Correspondent

BY an Auto Worker Correspondent
DEARBORN, Mich. The mad
scramble for profits is on in the
auto industry. AS speed-up in the
Ford plants increases faster and
faster every day, workers are being
killed and injured to such an ex-
tent that the shop is beginning to
take on the atmosphere Of a battle
ground Of war.
Early in January two workers
were severely injured while working
at one of the panel presses in the
Press Steel Building. The direct
cause was the terrific speed-up and
the failure to regularly inspect and
repair the presses.
It is 3 common sight in Depart
ment No. 1877 to see many men
working with an arm in a sling or
hopping around with a foot or leg
in heavy bandage. Sometimes you
see them performing speedy opera
lions with bandage over one eye.
In one case a Negro worker got a
piece of steel in one of his eyes.
He went to the hospital. The doc
tor told him that the eye would
have to be treated before the piece
Of steel could be taken out. A ban
dage was put over the eye and the
Negro worker was sent back on his
job without any recommendation
He had to operate a press which
requires a very fast man with two
eyes.
A typical example of the terrific
speed-up and crowded conditions
in the Ford plant is what happened
at the press where the first opera
ton on the right front fender is
performed. Workers and machines
are damned together like sardines
in can. Quite often sharp edged,
oily stock is piled up around them
almost head-high. They have
hardly space to walk around this
press but still they are expected to
work with the speed Of lightning
A worker at this press recently
dropped his tongs into the die. He
called to the worker who handles
the lever to stop the press and he
then reached with his hand to get
the tongs. Before he could get his
hand out, some one with a burst of
speed had bumped into the opera
tor who then fell against the lever
The press came down and the

Leaflet Exposes
Stool Pigeons
BY a Worker Correspondent

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-The efforts
of the workers to organize at the
American Casting Company have
been held back by the propaganda
of the stool pigeons and company
sucks.
A leaflet issued by the Commu-
mist Party Unit in the shop exploded
the sentiment of the workers like a
bombshell. The leaflet called the
hands Of Four Eye Ray and Wess
Morgan, stool pigeons. When Wess
Morgan saw the leaflet, he exploded
and gave himself away all the more
as a boss scab. Four Eye Ray ad-
mitted his guilt, laughingly trying
to joke it off, but his joking fell
awfully flat.
Some workers said that johnson,
the general super, read the leaflet,
laughed and threw it aside. But
these workers say that jackson
laughs, not at the leaflet, but at
the men for not organizing and for
submitting to his slave driving tao
tics.
Because of the split sentiment
among the white workers, the Negro
workers are going to take matters
in their own hands and organize
under the charter installed some
time ago. Some of the white work
ers have pledged to join with the
Negroes. The Negro workers also
say that they are going to strike
soon regardless of the white work
ers. The Communist leahet has
whipped up the spirit of the mill
tants and it seems that the scabs
will not be able to hold things down
long.

on asking us for more production.
When we ask how they can expect
more from us, the foremen reply
that there are lots more men on
Miller Road who would be glad to
get job for S. day. Only few
years ago, men were getting 81 to
So day doing these identical OPP
erations and not working nearly as
hard.
Ford does not want to spend any
money to improve conditions for the
workers who make his millions, but
he can find plenty of money to help
enslave the workers even more. I
want to say that we Ford workers
are not going to stand for this. We
are organizing to fight for So, for a
six hour day, and to put an end to
this hellish speed-up system.

YESTERDAY" writes L. W., i
1 met another Mother Bloor. It
is impossible to fully appreciate the
nagniIlcence or sucn women until
we meet Unem face TO face. This
woman's hair is white, but her back
is straight and proud. She and her
family, italians, live in Harlem,
where they are organizing the work
ers. She is also very active in a
nearby Italian Workers Club.
Besides her Party work, she
works on the outside for a living,
to help support a husband and
three grown sons. I hesitatingly
Ventured to question her.
"Comrade. my mother is afraid
that I will be hurt, or sent to jail,
because Of the struggle. How do
you feel about your own sons7'
She turned on me with such
fire, I was ashamed: IF my sons
had to die in the struggle. she said,
I could not help crying, But I
would be proud But It is better
that We organize strongly together
now, than think Of what will hap
pen later.
CHE went on to relate what fss-
y cism had brought to the work
ers of Italy.
In Italy she said, some people
living in those fashioned water
power mills heard strange splash
ingS during the night They went
out to investigate and foun d
wretched workers wading into the
water to catch rats for food.
Some time ago in Italy, she was
invited to visit what she thought
was a family gathering, but when
she arrived at the house, she saw
many strange faces, and people
Wrom she knew were not related to
one another They asked her to
read from a religious book on which
was the picture of saint, but when
she opened the book, to her sur
prise and delight, it was full Of
quotations from Marx and Lenin,
with call for unity of all workers.
This is how the revolutionary move
ment is spread in Fascist Italy.
This woman was such a wonder
ful example Of proletarian woman
hood, and such a symbol of courage
that I couldn't refrain from writ
ing to ask that you give these I'M
known fighters space in your col
unn."
MRS. KLEIN suggests that one
IM thing women need to know SO

A H., Brooklyn, N. Y: Tying the
tubes connected with the womb
is one Of the methods used for per-
manent sterilization. Cases Of
pregnancy have been known to oc.
cur following such an operation.
However, such cases are rare.
A better method is one In which
a part Of the tubes is removed. In
some cases where only temporary
sterilization is desired, such as, in
serious chronic diseases-the tubes
are tucked in under the lining mem
ORANGES in such a way that they
can be released by a second opera
ton, If necessary.
We, however, never advise such
a procedure; first, because it re-
quires two operations with the at
tendant risks; and second. because
we have harmless and effective con-
traceptive methods which are easily
learned by most women.
Operations on the tubes do not
affect the body or the sexual re-
lations in any way, because they
do not interfere with the ovaries.

Hay Fever

FROM your letter it appears that
you have not yet had skin tests
to find out what causes your hay
fever You must be sensitive to
some substance, probably a plant
pollen, which causes your yearly
attacks. Skin tests will show which
substance causes the hay fever.
When this is known, a course of
injections can be given before the
hay fever season. which frequently
(although not always give a great
deal Of relief. You can probably
have this work done at a clinic
connected with medical school in
Chicago. If you have not yet tried
this method, you should go to one
of these clinics now so that when
the season comes around you already
will have had the injections.
II you need the adrenalin chloride
injections, you can be taught to
give them TO yourself just as
diabetes give themselves insulin in
jections. This must be done very
carefully the needle and syringe
boiled, etc, and therefore, before
you attempt to do it yourself,
nurse or doctor should teach you
the whole technique thoroughly.
Usually 05 cubic centimeters q or
minims) of the 1 to 1000 solu-
ton is sufficient, but the dose can
be raised to one cubic centirneter
(l5 minims). This solution comes
in little glass ampules. Instead Of
spraying your nose with adrenalin,
try using solution of ephedrine
chloride in water. This usually has
a more lasting effect.

A Writer Suggests
A Little Thinking
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
Thinking generates action.
Without some form Of ratiocina-
ton, in fact, there can be no
worthwhile accomplishment. This
self-evident principle applies to
every walk in life, whether the
person be a politician, physician
or lawyer.
Unfortunately, there is a de-
cided lack of application of this
principle in the Congress today.
Our national representatives are
apparently too much engrossed
in Self-praise, winded
speeches and errand-running for
their constituents to have suffi-
Gent time to think.
Our forefathers were real
thinkers and as a result they
erected a powerful and self-sus-
tanning nation. It is pity their
successors in Congress today fail
to follow their example.

Veritas Finds Life
A BoUL of Hokunl
To the Editor Of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
It is amusing to notice how the
American body polite has swal-
lowed the Administrations hokum
that the New Deal is radical"
Radical, Of course, is a relative
term and may have different con.
notations when used by different
persons. Etymologically, however,
it connotes a change in the order
Of things, a change that goes to
the very root of the existing struc.
ture.
This is the generally accepted
meaning of the word. In this
sense. the Roosevelt administra.
ton is not radical" 1t has not
changed the essentials Of our form
Of Government. Whatever changes
have been made by the New Deal.
ers are merely surface changes.
The poor are getting poorer and
the rich are still amasslng for.
tunes, according to the latest fig.
ures given out by the Treasury
Department.
This radical" talk is pure
propaganda put out by the pres
ent administration. It was a
concerted. and successful, effort
to bring into the Roosevelt camp
the radical element in this coun-
try. The artifice was an amaz.
ing success. The radicals sup
ported Roosevelt, but with char
acteristic bluntness he has let
them down.
True Americans, of course, are
not demanding a radical change
in the administration Of affairs
Of this country. We did very
we'll under the capitaliStic scheme
Of things for many years. We
Americans, however, do not like
to be hoodwinked. We do not
like to be told the incoming
political party is going to be
something it has no intention of
being.
