Thus far the party units haye not gone into action in support of the Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund. The plan of campaign and the Keep The DAILY WORKER Certificates have now been in the hands of the party units for at least a week. IT SHOULD BE ‘POSSIBLE FOR THE TEN THOUSAND PARTY MEMBERS TO RAISE A THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY THRU ENERGDTIC WORK IN SELLING THE KEEP THE DAILY WORKER CERTIFICATES AND THRU THE CON- TRIBUTIONS FROM THE PARTY MEMBERS.

It prohibits all picketing of industrial council shops, even if such picketing be con- ducted in a perfectly orderly and law-abiding manner and goes so far as to enjoin peaceful appeals to would-be strikebreakers.

(Special to The Daily Worker) DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 3—That the American labor move- ment is planning to enter a new phase in its relations with the workers of other countries is seen in the action of the Metal Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor paving the way for affiliation with the Infernational Metal Workers’ Federation. The Metal Trades Department, made up of blacksmiths, boilermakers, technical engineers, electrical workers, steam en+ gineers, stationary firemen, structural iron workers, machinists, metal polishers, moulders, pattern makers, plumbers, sheet me- tal workers and stove mounters, would not have taken this step without the consent of the parent body, the American Federa- tion of Labor. tae DEE ape prem sey A.
