The Executive Committee of the international
Transportworkers Federation is able to place on
record its profound satisfaction with the manner
in which the manifesto has been responded to,
calling upon trarsporworkers seamen and rail
wayrnen to refuse to handle arms and other war
material destined to assist the Reaction against
the Russian People. The answer came as if the
manifesto was an urgent command
The replies received by u.s. and what is most
important the attitude Of the Transportworkers
and the Railwaymen afford ample proof that the
appeal Of the international Transportworkers
Federation corresponds to deep rooted conviction
in the minds Of the workers. The course demanded
by the Executive Committee embodied the intel

roaring flames were leaping in
the air. AS steel enters into
hundreds of articles of every day
use from the eyelet of a shoe to
a pillow and from a common pin
to a locomotive, a breif outline of
its manufacture may be of in
terest. The process of melting
iron from it's ore is called smelt-
ing. The ore with coal and
limestone is placed in a blast
furnace and set on fire. Gas and
coke are sometimes used. Hot
blasts of air are forced through
the burning mass to strengthen
fire. At 5000 degrees of heat
the iron settles to the bottom in
the form of a heavy liquid and
is drawn off and poured or run
into firms. The impurities cal
led slap floats to the surface and
runs off continually during the
smelling. Steel is made by sub
jecting the iron through series
of heating processes in a con-
verter. 1t is cast into ingots
10 by 10 inches by 6 feet. Giant
machines ball and squeeze these
huge pieces of steel and roll them
into various forms such as slabs,
sheets, bars, blooms, billets and
rods. Each in turn are rolled
and drawn into many kinds of
other shapes. 1t is fascinating
to see the billets rolled into rods
