Resistance to wage cuts is grow- ing all over the country. These wage cuts will become more fre- quent as the crisis worsens. Be-| hind the wage cuts are not only the Bosses but the entire machinery of | the A. F. of L. The Trade Union Unity League is leading the work of organization for strike against wage cuts. It is doing this in the mine fields, in the automobile in- dustries, in the needle trades, in the meta] industries. It is these indus- tries which have been hardest hit by wage cuts. The strikers against ‘wage cuts must be extended. ALL OUT FOR T.U.UL.
