In | this issue are to be found three very | important articles on the big auto-| mobile strikes in Detroit; one article on a strike on a ship, and articles on the struggles of the unemployed in| several cities. The articles on Detroit take in the| automobile struggles from every} angle. The methods of preparation | are analyzed in the article by Phil Raymond, one of the Auto Workers Union le: and one of the lead- ers of the strikes, Arthur Gray (pen | name for a leader in the work within the A. F. of L.) tells about the trea- cherous part the A. F. of L. official- dom played in the strikes. Jack Sta- |chel, who was on the scene of the wn, | ike on Shipboard” tells -the| story and lessons of a significant | struggle on the 8. 8. Point Gorda— | the first strike in seven years on a ship. This struggle went on all the way from Frisco to New Orleans, on high seas, and was led by the committee.

This activity plus the closest link with the reformist workers has meant the establishing of our revolu- tionary union in the auto industry. In opposition to this, we have ex- ampies of our work in the steel in- dustry, where one, two and even three wage cuts have taken place in the last year without mass struggles or partial struggles of any consequence developing. The proper Bolsheyik tenacity is missing in the work in this industry. We have not learned |how to develop and give leadership to the struggles of the workers against the grievanceé in the form of partial struggles leading to the! |form of mass struggles. The development of partial strug- | gles in our shop work is a positive achievement.

The comrades in} the various districts should write to the Org.

(The Olympic games had about 2,000 hand- picked “stars,” Not only will there be the usual international sports—track and field, swimming, boxing, wrestling, gym- nasties, ete., but there will also be a series of demonstrations of the na- tional games of each country, various systems of gymnastics, and a whole pageantry of folk dances. The whole meet is being organized under the sign of international solidarity of labor, and will stand in vivid con~ trast to the Los Angeles Olympics, where the slogan was: “Win, fair or foul, but. int”. os (Note-—These interested a ob- taining more information about the Werld Spartakiade can obtain same by writing to the Labor Sports Union, 813 Broadway, New York City.)
