labor UNIONS
OF THE ORIENT"
SUNDAY TOPIC
The Force to Destroy
Imperialism

What forces are there within i'm.
perialism to throttle it and stop ita
malevolent exploitation OF the op-
pressed peoples? This exploitation,
remember is vitality affecting your
wages and hours right here in Ameri-
ca, tho all the noise and fighting is
going on in the far east, in China, per
haps, where American marines are
protecting American interests" that
are not your interests to protect.
The answer to this question, Of
what forces inside imperialism are
historically arising to destroy IL, will
be given in the lecture next Sunday
night, January IS, of Alfred Wagon
knecht, who recently returned from
China, and the Philippines.
Comrade Wagenknecht was in
touch with the nascent labor move
ment of the east, and the subject Of
this lecture, which will be given to
the open forum of the Workers Party
at the Ashland Auditorium. Ashland
and Van Buren, street, at eight o'clock
tomorrow night, will be "The Rising
Labor Movement of the Orient"
The fight against imperialism
should be borne first Of all by the
working class of the imperialist coun-
try, they should take the burden, and
not lay it upon the more oppressed
countries of imperialism's victims.
Hence all workers should attend.
Come early and bring your friends.

SHEET Steel
WORKERS GET
CUT IN PAY
Class Collaboration Is
Working Fine, For Boss
Especial to The Daily WOrksr)

NSRN~ioN ~ NV ~lt%'s
YOUNGSTOWN, O., Jan. is.
Notwithstanding the BOOM
ing business in steel production
and the phenomenal rise in steel
shares, the wages of the sheet
and tin plate operatives in the
union mills will be reduced one
and a half per cent during the
January-February period, ac-
cording to the bi-monthly wage
agreement between the indepen-
dent manufacturers and the Of
ficials of the Amalgamated AS
Bociation Of Iron, Tin and Steel
Workers.
Because Of the class collaborative
union agreement, whereby the wages
of the workers are slashed every time
the bosses have to make a low price
to beat the slave labor Of the Ger
man workers driven by the Dawes
plan, the inflnitesimal loss of nickel
the 26, % and 20 gauge black sheet
having sold for $40 instead Of S34S
. hundred for the last so days. the
workers are required by the union and
boss combination to lose that and
maybe more off their pay checks.
The same settlement will probably
cause cut of wages to be declared
by the United States Steel corpora
lions against both the union and the
unorganized workers, as the scale
gives the steel trust an excuse to
claim that competition forces US to
out wages, too"

It is acknowledged that some corpo.
rations put wage reduction Of their

conference between the manufacturers
and the TEXTILE Council In some in
stances it is reported the cut was as
high as 121s per cent.
Another 10 per cent over what had
