On the same day that Roosevelt launched this latest attack upon the unemployed, Harry L. Hopkins an- nounced that relief needs had risen 38 per cent in 140 cities and urban counties between March and April. The “reason” given in the official dispatches is the closing of C. W. A.| Yet. compared with November, 1933, } before the C. W. A. program was Jaunched, relief cases throughout the country, which in no case re- flect actual need due to the sys- tematic denial of relief to mililons of unemployed, had risen 11 per cent by April, 1934. A few instances from widely scat- terod sections of the country will host illustrate the starvations stand- ards being used on forced labor “work relief.” In Clarksburg, West Virginia, one month after the. dis- | continuation of C.

The rec- ord of the Tighe-Leonard leadership in the recent struggles, Clairton and Weirton, shows them to |be the agents of the steel com-) panies. 4—The opposition leaders have! not yet taken a definite position on the question of the election of broad) rank and file strike and negotia-| tions committees which alone would; provide a guarantee for the carry- ing through of the policies and de- sires of the rank and file. The Board decided to undertake immediately an intensive campaign in the various steel districts, cen- tering especially in the key plants. For this purpose there is to be a mass distribution of hundreds of thousands of leafiets and stickers, or- ganization of factory gate meetings, mass meetings, the building of the organization department by depart- ment, mass recruiting into the S. M. W. I. U., the setting up of new locals, the issuance of enlarged edi- tions of the official organ of the Union, the “Steel & Metal Worker.” The Board decided to endor: basic economic: demands put for- ward by the A.

The Board endorsed these de- mands as a basis for joint action, tion, emphasizing the need for drafting in each locality the special needs of the steel workers there and placing in the center the struggle against the increasing sp¢ed-up now being enforced in the whole indus- = ry. The Board decided to do every- thing possible to establish the unity of the steel workers, assure the de- velopment of the broadest possible strike of the steel workers and the guarantee of a successful struggle.
