Meldon in reporting on the prepa- {rations for the coming convention to build the Steel and Metal Workers Union showed how the tion. Already the Metal Workers League has close to 2,000 good stand ing members and is organized on & ‘The union at present has 84 shop groups 44 of which are in the steel mills and in the most im- portant steel milis of the country. The groups in the most cases are still small and cover only one or two departments of a given mill. The Metal Workers League has been able to make progress largely beause it understood how to utilize the unmployed and part time steel | workers for the penetration of the in a number of cases (McKeesport) struggles of the unemployed and em- ployed steel workers for relief and unemployment insurance. Main Weakness, The main weakness of the work | in the steel industry has been the inability to develop economic strug- reduction of rent, no evictions, ne-|S!es inside the mills around the y repairs and committee. They have painted red signs on the sidewall nd on the house and hung signs kers to Come! Up; Start Organizing; NEW YORK.—The Youth Section of the Needle Trades Workers In- i through H. Gadov ick, its crganizer, has issued a spe-| \cial call to the young fur workers to | come up to the office of the union, | |131 West 28th Street | | ‘The call states: “For the last five] yea ie bos in the fur trade have | |ueen brutally cutting our wages and |making our conditions worse than| lrotten! Millions of young workers jare unemployed, starving in the} streets. In the shops we are speeded | jup to the highest degree. Our wages | are being cut continuously. Every- where we see misery and starvation. | “Now is the time to fight for jobs| Jand for living conditions, All young! furriers who are not yet organized; young workers who are working un- der rotten conditions, come to our union, 131 West 28th Street. We will help you organize and win bet- ter conditions. Forward to the building of one union for the workers in the fur trade.” The call of the youth section points out the misleadership of the AF.L. and Socialist Party, and points to the Industrial Union as the one that |fights for the young workers, Negro and white. HARLEM MEET TO GREET DELEGATES A mass meeting in Harlem is ar- ranged for Friday, June 10, at 8 p. m., at the St. Luke’s Hall, 125 W. 130th St., to greet the return of the Negro delegation from the National Nominating Convention of the Com- munist Party. Speakers will include W. W. Wein- | stone, Charles Alexander, James Tor- ney, Leonora Woods and William Lee. Musical numbers will be among the features. 8 YEARS IN U. S. NAVY—THE REWARD | NEW YORK.—Alphonse Mullins, |39, walked into the Fifth Ave. Sta- | tion, Brocklyn, yesterday and asked that he be arrested on some charge that would assure him at least 10 days in jail. | Mullins was cited for bravery while in the navy in 1920 for saving a recognition of pburning issues the major of which is the fact that 98 per cent of the “employed” steel workers are part |time workers working from one to| three days per week. When we bear jin. mind that the steel workers in many instances are compelled to come to the mill day after day and are nof given any work then we readilly see the possibility of devel- oping struggles from the smallest demand for the posting of time sche- dules all the way down to the de- mand for more days work—on the issue of part time work alone. The fact that in Mansfield, Ohio, the workers did force an increase in the days of employment shows the pos- sibility of such struggles. New Wage Cuts, Meldon pointed out that already a new wave of wage cuts are on the go. In the McKeesport Tin already a new wage cut was given. The weak- est phase of the preparation against the wage cut in U. S. Steel is the fact that no struggles have been de- veloped since last October inside the mills. Here again we see that we have not yet learned to organize other forms of struggle than mass strikes. Our comrades when faced with the impossibility of a mass strike in the steel industry last Oc- tober did not succeed in developing partial struggles thus not laying a firm basis for a mass struggle now when the new wage cut is coming. ‘The Metal Workers League is tak- ing steps to correct this. Part of the preparations for the coming convention in July is the develop- mient of such local struggles. The im- minence of the war, the threatened attack on the Soviet Union makes the work in the steel industry of first importance immediately in all of our work. It is necessary for the T.U.U.L. organizations in the steel centers to give all assistance to the Metal Workers Industrial League to develop the struggle of the steel workers and the building of a mass union among the steel and metal workers, LABOR UNION MEETINGS Dressmakers Open Forum ‘The left wing Executive Board Members of Local 22 of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union call a meeting of all dressmakers today at 1 p.m. at Me- morisl Hall, 344 W. 36th St., to discuss united action against the bosses and build- ing of one class struggle union in the in- dustry, Dressmakers’ Meeting Thursday ‘The Dressmakers’ United Front Commit- tee calls for all dressmakers who work on 26th St. to meet right after work, Thurs- jay, at Greek Workers’ Center, 301 W. 29th \shipmate from drowning. day, St., to discuss further organization of the block. FORCED LABOR IN COLORADO BEET STRIKE Mass Arrests With Parole Only If Striker Agrees to Scab; School Children Herded Into Beet Fields But Refuse to Be Strike Breakers . .DENVER, Col,, June 6—The chief ‘weapons of the employers nominally the farmers but actually the great sugar companies who dictate all the actions of the growers in the strike | of beet workers against a 40 per cent Wage cut, are: terror (scores of ar- rests and jail sentences); starvation (not nearly enough relief is arriving and families are literally slowly starving to death, and forced labor. The forced labor angle is becoming very important. Where There Is Forced Labor. In the beet strike of Colorado it has been the regular practice to offer openly in court to dismiss charges if the strikers will promise to re- tuff to work. When they refuse every weapon at the command of the bosses is used to intimidate the workers. ‘Throughout most of the strike the workers have resisted with splendid | courage these strike-breaking efforts |and have taken jail sentences rather than go back to work, Recently in Fort Morgan however after serving ten days in jail and being threatened with deportation, |five men were literally forced back linto the fields. ‘The local paper states quite openly that they were “paroled on condition that they re- turn to work in the beet fields.” Equally frank is the statement of the Las Animas Leader that the strike had been broken (on this point they mistake their hope for fact as the strike is still very strong in this section in spite of the lack of relief) by the school children being sent into the fields they neglect, to say that the local authorities | cl°sed many of the schools in order to try to force them in and that ithe children refused to go into the fields in the majority of cases. The strike still depends on just one thing—relief. Rush food and tents to 1154 fleventh St. funds to post office box 2023, Denver, Colo, of | | ©. B.

This picture represents one of the most elaborate productions of Soviet Rus- sia. More than one year was spent in filming it. “Diary of a Revolutionist” was di- rected by J. I. Urinov, who is com- paratively new in the Russian film world. Urinov has made a film which bridges two epochs of Russian history. By means of a diary he shows the swift-moving, dynamic days of the Bolshevik Revolution and then co-relates these with a story of the modern Five-Year Plan. Many of the same characters appear in both epochs, each one contrasting with his former self as he appears in the Modern epoch. Many real facts and important events are interwoven in the film. Glimpses of Russia’s lead- Help Picket Kaplan Paint Shop, Brooklyn NEW YORK. — The lateration painters in the Kaplan shop, at 398 South Fifth St., Brooklyn, have gone on strike against the attempt of the boss to fire three militant workers and his attempt to cut wages. Painters are urged by the Altera- tion Painters Union to report at} Bridge Plaza Workers Club, Rodney St. and Broadway, every morning for picketing. EXPORTS DROP $50,469,245 WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5.— The crisis bites deeper. Exports from the United States of America to for- eign markets fell off $50,469,245 in) April, below the figure for April a- year ago, according to Department of Commerce figures. Imports fell off $59,029,752. CONFERENCE IN SYRACUSE BACKS White Delegates to Schenectady, June 19 YORK—At 8 Syracu a large delegation was to the June 19 State Con- NEW conference held in izations elected vention Campaign Besides this all the mass organiza- tions are arranging open-air and mass meetings in order to populariz? the convention and bring the message of the Communist Pa and its election platform before t workers. From Utica, N. Y., comes also a report of a large del2gation, particu- larly of many Negro workers. At the conferences held in the up-state cities, United Front Election Cam- paign Committees have be2n elected that will plan all the activities dur- ing the campaign. The Uraed Front Committee of New York City at its meeting Satur- day issued a call to all organiza- tions again urging them to elect their delegates immediately and to send their credentials into the committee headquarters. Along with this the United Front Committee wishes to remind all the organizations of the Red Mobilization Week that it will take place June 11 to 18, During this’ week the com- mittee aims to have 10,000 signatures collected. The Bronx is already com- pleted, having collected its full quota. Bronx workers are therefore urged to report to another section of the city and help fulfill the quota there. The slogan is “100 per cent mobiliza- tion for all organizations for Red Week.” Foster Demands Food for Jobless As Mayor Admits 50,000 Hungry MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 6.— William Z. Foster speaks here tonight running as Communist candidate for president on a platform that makes a central issue of unemployment in- surance. “Fifty thousand will have to go hungry and be turned out and more can be supplied”, says Mayor Wil- liam A, Anderson of Minneapolis. The superintendent of public re- lief, who has been giving a little to a small fraction of the thousands of Minneapolis unemployed workers, ‘states ‘that there is left in his fund only $133,000, and this will not last more than 20 days. The next. pos- sible chance of an appropriation, ac- cording to these city officials, will be July 1. There is no assurance that there will be any relief then, as the board of estimates has just turned down a motion for an emergency bond issue for feeding the jobless.

Mass pickets at the Wild Run mine, where the rank and file miners’ strike committee, co-operating with the National Miners Union, has main- tained a high spirit of militancy, have been able to keep scabs out. Last week there were a series of pitched battles between company guards and scabs on one side and the pickets on the other, in which regular barrages of thrown stones were laid down. But the scabs did not get in. The Wolf Run mine is in Jefferson county, owner, thé Warner Colleries Co* announces that militia from Ca- diz will be brought in unless the mass picketing stops. Defeat U.M.W.A. Sellout. Mass opposition rose so high at a meeting of the strikers of Clainsville mine of the Rail & River Coal Co. near Bellaire last THursday that the United Mine Worker local officials were unable to go through with their plan to call off the strike by means of a fake vote to return.

SCHLESINGER Industrial Union in Call to Struggle if (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) convention of the I.L.G.W.U., Schle= singer outlined plans for a new fake strike which was to be called soon, The notorious Mayor Moore of Phil« adelphia was permitted to greet the convention, which passed an anti- Soviet resolution and demanded the release of jailed counter-revolutione aries. Additional taxation of the meme | bership and the cbolition of the ree ferendum were but two of the meas! sures put over by the Schlesinger’ gang at that convention. Put Over Wage Cuts Wage cuts in Montreal and Cleve- land and the establishment of piece work in Chicago were among the re- cent acts of his administration, The statement of the Industrial Union points out that although Schlesinger was one of the outstand- ing fighters of the class struggle policy of rank and file control ahd @ supporter of the most corrupt ele-) ments in the union, his death willj not necessarily mean an end of the! machine which controls the organi- zation. : Call For Struggle The Industrial Union calls on the cloakmakers to organize their forces to mobilize for a real strike for un- ion coditions, to demand a rank and file strike leadership so as to make sure that in this coming strike: the workers will gain real improvements in their conditions and make an end , to the miserable wage cuts, mass un_! employment, misery and starvation! of the cloakmakers, t sentenced to four years for publish- ing articles attacking the civil guard. ‘The trial sentence by a court miartial violates the Spanish Constitution.
