IFucts On Auto
Strike, GM,
dupont Family

! New York -(FP). General Motor:
Corp, is the largest industrial concern
in the world. II has more than 10(
plants in the L. S. with more than Z,
million square feet Of space, and be-
fore the war had 36 plants abroad.
| During the war, when it was alst
operating 18 government owned
plants, it turned out SO billion worth
of war goods-with the labor of halt
a million workers.
The auto industry increased its
/ profits -before-taxe by 120.1% in the
years 194l-44 over what they made in
1868 and profits -after-taxes by
20.6% in the same period. In addition
to increased profits, GIN salted away
$76,051 ,805 as postwar and contin-
gency reserves" and can do very nice
ly on this amount, plus tax rebates
Congress has slavishly voted for in
dustry, while it waits for strikers
without postwar and contingency re-
serves" to get hungry on the picket
line.
Controlling stockholders in GIN are
the DUPONT family, which also domi'
mates U. S. chemical and munitions in
dustries. Its chemical empire is almost
completely unorganized although a
few plants have been unionized dur
ing the war.
Before the war, various members of
the DUPONT family were the principal
financial hackers of the mis-named
semi-fascist Liberty League and some
are known for their contributions to
the Christian American Assn, the
Texas-born American fascist organ
ization that has been promoting anti
closed shop, anti-picketing, union reg
istration laws in score of state legis-
latureS.
They have been heavy contributors
to Republican campaign funds and
helped Tom Dewey's candidacy for the
but through other branches
of the family always put few thous-
and dollars down on the Democratic
winners, too.
One DUPONT corporation and at least
one member of the family have been
indicted for conspiring before and
during the war with Nazi l. G. Far
and Japanese, Italian
md British chemical trusts to create
| cartel restricting trade in chemicals
and munitions.

ON THE CAPITALS CUFF
By FEDERATED PRESS

Washington-(FP) P).-When Hitler
and the German industrialists backing
him decided it was time to take over
the weak German government, they
! dipped into Hitler's Mein Kampf, read
| the masters words on the big lie be-
| ing the best cne-and invented the
Reichstag fire.
A Nazi stooge set fire to the Ger
/ man capitol, the Nazis charged it was
Communist plot, seized the govern
ment to defend the nation from boil
shevism" and when their own guilt
for the fire was disclosed, they were
to firmly established to be ousted.
First Communists, then Socialists,
labor unions, Jews, Catholics, Protes-
tants were suppressed. Somewhere
something slipped. An attempt to sup
press the rest of the world failed.
That fire was put out in a bath of
blood.
There is a Rechstag fire being
/ kindled i'm the u. S. today and it is
time the labor movement moved in its
fire engines, put out the fire and
caught the fascists red-handed before
we all find ourselves marching down
the road Germany took.
On the international front, the pow
erful reactionaries and their lickspit-
| tie congressman and editors are beat
| ing the bolshevik menace to death,
just as the Nazis once did, and ar
ranging peace conferences without
Russia, just as man named Cham
berlain once did.
But this fire is also being lit in an
other place. 1t is being lit under the
American labor movement. American
labor is menacing "reconversion," the
press screams in chorus with the Natl.
Assn. of Manufacturers, the Automo-
tive Industry Council and other aggre-
cations of men i'm the position Htler's
hackers were in.
1t nigh be better if they could
charge labor with menacing "white
womanhood," the home, or God and
country. But reconversion will do. Lots
Of people have their tongues hanging
out for new cars, a refrigerator or
washing machine to Tighten the wife's
load-lots of other reconversion pro-
ducts.
And who's keeping us from having
all these wonderful gadgets? Why,
labor, Of course, with it's strikes and
it's wage demands and it's peeking at
industry's profit balances. Citizens,
let's rise and crush labor; it's a boil

port Service Employees (CIO), are lab
or members of the committee. Com
missions on employment, health and
welfare, housing, law and order,
education, and recreation met during
the summer and presented their re-
ports at concluding sessions of the
conference, which ended with the pre-
sentation of the charter.
Employment Goal Outlined
With respect to employment, the
overall aim of the charter is "full
employment of all qualified workers
without discrimination"
Outlining the responsibilities of
management, the charter said:
"As citizens and managers of in
dustry our objective is the employ
ment of individuals on the basis of
qualification only; the promotion and
upgrading Of workers on individual
merit; the opening of all plant facili-
ties, occupations, production lines,
without restriction or segregation.
Responsibility Recognized
"We recognize our prime response
bility to initiate, install and follow
up the necessary practices to insure
full acceptance of these principles by:
IL. Guaranteeing in all contractual
agreements with employees no dis
elimination in employment, in oppor-
tunity, or in facilities and recreation.
"2. Making an unbiased attitude
toward all minority groups neces-
v.xr
position.
"3. Continuing the practice of is
suing and abiding by nondiscrimina-
tion clauses in all purchase con-
tracts"

Demand Hershey
Put Heat On
Montgomery Ward

New York-(FP) Union members
of the American Legion have demand
ed the rehiring of three World War II
veterans fired by Montgomery Ward
& Co., and have put the heat on Maj
Gen. Lewis b. Hershey, director OF
selective service, to show a little IN
terest in forcing discriminating en-
ployers to give veterans their legal
rights.
In letter to Hershey, Vice Presi-
dent Henry Geisz of the National Con-
ference of Union Labor Legionnaires
listed the three veterans:
Erich Stainer, honorably discharged
from the navy, fired without cause by
Wards Chicago plant the day the
army turned the plant back to the
company.
Robert Magnan, marine, Purple
Heart veteran wounded at Guam, fired
from Wards Albany plant after he
told a supervisor he would strike if
asked to do so by his union.
William Donovan, infantryman,
Purple Heart veteran wounded in
Germany, fired in Albany the same
day for the same reason.
"These men did not make their sac
rifices on battle fronts to come home
to rank discrimination by employers"
Deisz told Sewell l.. Avery, chairman
Of the Ward board. "The national
labor relations act gives every man,
veteran or non-veteran, the right to
affiliate with any union he may
choose The right to strike is a legal
right. We demand reinstatement Of
these three veterans"

L. U. 1877 Signs
(Continued From Page OneJ

(Confinufd From Page One)
October 18th. Local Union 1877 cele-
brated the expected signing of the
new contract with luncheon in honor
of the negotiating committee headed
by Frank Sorenti, chairman, and +. L.
Wheatley, first vice president who as
sisted in the negotiations.
The new contract provides for the
two-week vacation with pay, including
overtime, and reopening clause to
discuss wage rates il the general eco
nomic condition changes or when the
plant reverts to work week less than
48 hours. No indication was given
when the company would revert back
to the 40-hour week.--O. c. 1877.

shevik menace. Or so the newspapers
say.
Management, its vaults bulging with
the biggest cash reserves it has had
in Americas prosperous history, and
with blank checks from Congress
promising tax rebates if the fight
costs industry any money, is saying
to labor: To hell with you, and go
ahead and strike.
That reconversion would stall and
die by the wayside like prewar rat
tle-trap if workers took 800 pay cut
You don't hear that from the press.
That merchants and doctors and law
yers will keep their tongues hanging
out for cars and never have the
money to pay for them-if labor
doesn't get living wage-you never
hear that.
That management itself is striking
against reconversion is one of the
daily press best kept secrets.
Meanwhile, the Reichstag is on fire
and the stormtroopers have been ord
cred out to smash the American labor
movement. And they have started the
wheels in motion, believe it!
AS more thon 100 General Motors
plants shut down last week, the re-
dictionary House rules committee
granted the broadest possible "rules"
to two labor-gagging, union-smash-
ing bills-the Hobbs bill CHR 32) and
the Smith-May bill (HR 3937).. Even
by the time this is in print, these two
bills may be up on the floor for de-
bate-and quick passage in the heat
of nationwide anti-labor editorializing.
It's time to sound the fire alarm,
brothers, and turn few cooling hoses
on our congressman.
1t is later than you think. 1t is
happening here.

Firm Cuts Hours,
Boosts Pay 1920

Townson, Md.-(FP).-If General
Motors, Westinghouse, and the other
major corporations want pattern
for their wage policies, Black &
Decker Manufacturing Co., here has
it-for free.
Black & Decker announced that
on Jan. / it would reduce its work
week from As to 37z hours, and at
the same time provide a 2O@ wage
increase.
To make the LOO employees of the
firm even happier, the management
will give a cash bonus on Dec. to
tide them over the holidays, and hire
200 more workers.
The reason for all this was ex-
planned in formal apnouncement
commenting on the Hw tax law
abolishing the surplus profits levy
saying it "gives management an
other opportunity to pass along to
our employees unsolicited benefits of
a very substantial nature, and at the
earliest possible date"
