Although registration for the Fall Term is officially ended, literally hundreds of students are still coming to register.

It has been a year of intense struggle in the steel industry. The function of the paper a3 an or- ganizer of steel and metal workers, no matter to which union they be- Jong, and as a guide to action, was nicely symbolized in the title of the first editorial which appeared in the paper—'Struggles Ahead.” What part the Steel and Metal Worker has played in those strug- gles since its inception can be seen readily from a study of its files. The first issue found the steel workers confused by the initial | stages of N.R.A, code ballyhoo. The | Paper went after the code hearings. The industrial union proposed a workezs’ code at that time, which embodied most of the grievances which later formed the basis for the general strike movement sold down the river by the Amalga- mated Assosiaticn Committee of Ten early this year, The paper TODAY (PRINTED) Mif’s “Chinese Revolution” A Review by Hansu Chan Fukien—Soviet China Agreement An Original Document of Soviet China.—A Story from $1.50 yearly le, 168 W. 28rd St., N.

F. of L, union leaders who supported the N.R.A. Throughout, the paper was handicapped, and still is by the fact that it is a monthly publica- tion which has sometimes been compelled to telescope two issues into one because of a lack of funds.
