Unions throughout the country
are responding quite literally to
the call of the iron and steel
workers for financial assistance to
carry on the contest against the
United States Steel corporation,
and agents are at work in the
mill districts endeavoring to or
ganize the non-union employees of
the combine.
On the other hand, the steel
trust is pointing with satisfaction
to the fact that its tinplate out
put in Pennsylvania during the
past year was 650,O0O,000 tons,
breaking all records in that state
But nothing is said about Ohio
and Indiana records, where a num-
Der of it's mills have been aban-
doned and others are badly Grip
pied.
The trust is making every eff
fort to unload stock on employees
in order to tie them down to their
jobs, and is also perfecting an
elaborate system of espionage to
weed out "agitators" and enforce
loyalty" to the corporations in
terests.
The struggle promises to be the
longest and bitterest that has been
waged between labor and capital
on the American continent up to
the present.

leach other in times of trouble, the
two big unions have virtually
combined. The next move will be
for the western miners to join the
A. F. of L., then the two bodies
will form a trades department I'M
der the federation, and work out
the details for complete amalgam-
alton.

Besides their present-day trou-
bles with the operators, the far
seeing members among the union
miners are disturbed at a big dark
cloud that is looming up over the
industrial horizon. Slowly and
the United States Steel
corporation is throwing its tenta-
cles into the coal fields. Miners
officials say that the trust has alb
sorbed 100000 acres of coal land
and is daily reaching out for more.
The trust hopes to monopolize
coal as it has monopolized iron ore
to feed its monopolized transpor-
tation system on the great lakes.
The miners know what that
means. The merciless attempts OF
the trust to destroy the organiza-
lions of iron, steel and tinplate
workers and the marine unions are
teaching the coal diggers that
they will soon become principals in
the greatest labor struggle of the
age.

Canadian workingmen claim the
distinction of electing the first
socialist to a national legislative
body on the North American con-
tinent, in the person of Chas.
O'Brien, miner, who will repre-

pride to the fact that O'Brien, in
stamping his large district, trav-

out an overcoat when the Their
