Enters Steel is’tis: its saan iss thee ors, Mills in Attempt To Stop Struggle By a Worker Correspondent WORCESTER, Mass.—On Sunday, Nov, 21, about 200 steel and metal workers of Worcester, Mass., met at Arcadia Hall at the call of the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union, to hear A. Overgaard, secretary of the Trade Union Unity Council of New York, explain the role of the N.R.A. and the strikes by the Steel and Me- tal Workers Industrial Union, Those workers who came, were keenly interested in organization and wanted to know a lot about the) S.M.W.I.U. Many of them had come at the risk of their jobs. The A. F. of L. never made the| least attempt to organize the steel workers. Every time some workers would come down and ask them to do something they were told that there is no money to start with. Only recently, since the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union began or- ganizing the workers in the steel and wire mills, have we found the A. F. of L. fakers also trying to do some- thing, which is nothing else but an attempt to disrupt the work of the} S.M.W.1.U. At present the need for organiza- | tion of these workers is more essen- tial than ever before, Already mass lay-offs are taking place in some of the mills. Soon a wage slashing cam- paign will start to reduce the al- ready slashed wages of the workers, through the N.R.A., which is Tespon- sible for the rising cost of ig. The $.M,.W.LU. is carryin: to day activity here. A branch of the union already exists in one shop where about 50 workers have signed application cards and where 25 paid the initiation fees. Another branch of the union is in formation in an- other shop of about 200 workers. carrying it out, not in a mechanical way, but in harmony with the in- terests and struggles of the workers who live in the particular neighbor- | hood where the canyassing for Daily Worker readers is going on. I must say that our comrades are not taking the Daily Worker seriously. We say that the Daily Worker {s our organizer, teacher and guide, that we can learn from it how to organize the. unemployed, how to break into the packing houses, the needle trades, the steel mills, etc. Yes, and how also to get readers and subscribers for the Daily. And yet, comrades, when tried plans, given serious and conspicuous publicity in our Party organ, are pro- posed for adoption, they are met with | the stigma that they are Sane 8 ical.” I look upon the Daily Worker as a hot-house of experiences, always guiding the comrades in their work and calling the masses to struggle. I think it would be a good idea for all of us, before we make a decision 'on a question, to ask: What has the Daily Worker, to say sBbut this? Note by Editor Comrade F. B. is correct about the role of the Daily Worker. It is the Central Organ of the Party, and should not be looked upon by our Party members merely as a newspaper, but as the daily guide for all of their activities, Party Life Column aims by the interchange of experiences, to assist all of the Party in carrying out our tasks. Perhaps the reaction of the Sec- tion Organizer to the plan suggest- ed for reaching workers and ob- taining new readers to the Daily Worker is reflected in the fact that the Kansas District has one of the lowest records of the entire Party on increased subscriptions. From’ June te October, the entire District has increased the number of Fm: scribers from 90 to 120, Only 30 new subscribers in ‘four months. Bundle orders have increased only’ 33! If the Section Organizer rojects ihe “mechanical” plan suggested in Party Life, perhaps he can work out | @ new plan, which will overcome’ this impermissible situation in re- gard to Daily Worker cfrculation. In the meantime, we suggest that the Kansas City unit tries this “me- chanical” plan and lets us know the results, NAME ADDRESS Please send me more information on the Communist Party.
