For many years the leaders of the Berne International have demanded that the MWU should acknowledge the statutes of the International and jus- tified themselves before the metal workers of all countries by pleading their own lack of confidence in the MWU’s real intentions to abide by the | International's statutes. The leaders of the International in America have completely exposed themselves. before the whole world that the stat- utes are of importance to them only inasmuch as they may be used against the revolutionary workers. The 6th Conference of the MWU, in establishing this fact, summons the metal workers of all countries to the incessant struggle for One Interna- tional of Iron and Steel, for a world congress of metal workers, for the united fighting front against trusti- fied capital.
