Build Towards a Union. The Youngstown conference will be utilized to strengthen the league |organizationally, making it capable of leading the steel, metal and auto workers in the daily struggle against wage cuts of the employers, for the} 7-hour day, against speed-up system, |and to lay the basis for a real mass convention of at least 1,000 rank and file delegates in the near future, when a new union will be launched, | uniting almost 5,000,000 workers in |the metal industry in the United | States. All the present weaknesses of the league will be thoroughly discussed at the conference, and new forces drawn into leadership. A program of action will be adopted, prepara- tions made for securing 5,000 new members in the membership drive of the Trade Union Unity League. Ar- \rangements will be made to send a large delegation of metal and steel | workers to the Unemployed Conven- | tion in Chicago, July 4. The problems of establishing much |closer connections with the revolv- |tionary metai workers in the other countries threugh the Internat'.nal Committee of Propaganda and Ac |tion and the Red International of Labor Unions will be dealt with at the conference, which will also elect a delegetion of three to the R.LL.U. Congress. Funds Are Needed. The conference will start on Sat- urday, June 14 at 1 p. m.

State Department, it is clear that American imperialism is smarting under reverses of its bloodthirsty fascist lackey, Chiang | Kai-shek and his so-called “govern- |ment” at Nanking. A lot of good | money has been spent repeatedly ;to bribe Feng Yu-hsiang to. stop fighting Nanking, but he don’t stay bribed, and now, joined with Yen seems in a fair way of whipping Chiang Kai-shek. The State Department admits that a “delicate diplomatic situa. ‘tion” exists, with the American political advice to Chiang Kai-shek, and to dodge having any dealings that amount to recognition with the Northern generals. At the same time, since the Chiang Kai-shek’s forces back and | things look dark for Nanking, the | American imperialists ‘are in the |mood to dicker with Feng and Yen |to see if they can be bought over gether. Since America has recog- | nized Nanking, this requires some jdirty double dealing, but the State | Department is accustomed to that. Ai developments point in that direc- tion.
