Miners PREDICT
new ERA AHEAD
All Eyes Turn to Big
Convention

"Ohio is conducting a series of
sub-district conferences. The first
one opens in Bellaire. Others will
follow in quick succession. Bob
Mutusek Frank Sepich and Andy
Plechaty are leading the work there,
affiliating locals with the new
union, getting dues cards in circula-
ton.
ut took lot to knock some sense
into the heads of those who have
followed Lewis lead like so many
sheep all these years, while the u.
M. W. of A. has gone to ruin. When
the newspapers announced Lewis
latest betrayal, the abandonment of
the Jacksonville scale and instruc-
ton to each district to beg what it
could from the operators, Lewis
supporters said that it was lie,
that the progressives had made up
the storyl
"But when they heard the same
story from Lewis office, they I'M
derstood at last. These boys are
now joining the great masses of
miners who say that Lewis be-
trayals are a thing of the pasta
new day is dawning. September 9th
will mark a new era for the miners
of America!"
Pointing to the difficulties and OBJ
stacles ahead, mine leaders stressed
the great Importance of securing the
necessary funds to make the conven-
ton possible. Hundreds of dele
gates who are preparing to journey
to Pittsburgh have no carfare. Halls
must be rented. Printing must be
paid for; postage means cash.
"On the labor movement, on the
progressive and left-wing forces in
particular, rests the responsibility of
making this important convention
possible" it was declared. "Help the
miners build real union!"

partments of the Fisher Body Cor
poration, which were ready to come
out on strike in support of the oil
sanders and also to gain their own
demands. These representatives
agreed that their departments would
come out on Monday. To prevent
the further growth of organization
among the workers, the company
voluntarily gave it's vet sanders an
increase of % cents per body.
Others Walk Out.
At two o'clock that afternoon a
large group of metal finishers
walked off the job. They stated
their determination to support the
demands of the oil sanders. That
evening a committee, elected by the
metal finishers, in meeting with
the strike committee agreed to the
plan of going on the job the next
morning for the purpose of bring
ing the rest of the men in their de-
partment out on strike, unless the
company acceded to the demands of
the oil sanders. The next morning
the company countered this move by
guaranteeing all the men 81 an hour
whether there was work for them to
do or not. A majority Of the metal
finishers also failed to realize the
necessity of supporting the efforts
of the oil sanders. By this time it
had become obvious that without
support from the other departments
the oil sanders could no longer pre-
vent the company from slowly but
surely reaching the point of normal
production. At a meeting of the
strikers that evening, the strike was
called off.
Proof of Solidarity.
In an interview between the writer
and Mr.. Frank McGrogan, the leader
of the strike, he stated that to his
knowledge this strike was one of
the best illustrations from the point
of view of the solidarity of the
workers in that department that
ever took place in the Fisher body
plant. 1t wvi the first time that
over one hundred and eighty work
ers, mostly A m e ri C n s, struck
against the increasing speed-up sys-
TEN being introduced into h e
Fisher body and in all the other
plants in the automobile industry.
In order to understand the signifi-
canoe of this strike, we must know
that there was no union or any other
organized group within that shop.
That this walkout was simply a
sporadic outburst on the part of the
workers. which expresses the ac-
cumulated resentment, dissatisfac-
ton and the growing spread of re-
volt which is continually, slowly but
surely, growing among the auto
mobile workers.
Shortcomings of the Strike.
1t is true that the Flint strike
shows that we are still in the first
stages of the rude awakening of
class consciousness among the auto
mobile workers. In the interview
with Frank McGrogan, he stated,
"Well, the Company treated me
pretty fair for about three years,
but last year this wage-slashing
campaign started and now suddenly
they come along with another wage
cut of about 81 week. This was
more than any of US could stand"

the Second Congress theses and
build up strong Communist Parties
in the colonies which can fulfill
their tasks in the bourgeois dem
ocratic period" he concluded.
Losovsky Speaks.
Losovsky declared that the new
factor since the adoption of Lenin's
resolution at the Second Congress is
that since then the proletariat ap-
peared as an independent force in
numerous colonies. This fact is con-
nected with certain industrial devel-
opments, he said. 1t would be false
however, to adopt a de-colonization
theory from this fact. 1t was also
false, he said, that colonies are the
only sources of raw material anc
food for the netherlands. Such ar
assumption would make it difficult
to set forth the slogan of the die.
tatorship of the proletariat and
peasantry because this slogan as
sumes certain stage in industrial
development. Some comrades, he
said, particularly the Latin Amer
leans, wrongly fear that the slogan
of the bourgeois democratic revolu-
ton diminishes the role of the pro-
letariat and the Communist Party
Leninism demands, however, that
the proletariat play leading role
in the bourgeois democratic revolu-
tions.
This fact, Losovsky continued
and the character of the Bolshevist
slogan of the dictatorship of the
proletariat and peasantry must be
made clearer in the theses. 1t is
theoretically correct that the prole-
tariat may temporarily support the
colonial bourgeoisie and even make
agreements with it but it is politi-
cally incorrect when the theses de-
clare that the task of the Indian
proletariat is the formation of an
independent revolutionary working
class movement and cleaning the
revolutionary organizations from the
Swarajists. The theses contain
practically nothing about colonial
reformism, he said.
Situation in India.
Neumann declared that Lenin's
lesson of the availability of the
capitalist development stage in the
path of the colonies to socialism
must be stressed. The de-coloniza-
ton theory inevitably contradicts
Lenin's standpoint, he said. The
Indian proletariat must not con-
clude an alliance with the native
bourgeiosie even temporarily be-
cause the Swarajists will betray the
struggle at the first opportunity
The old leadership of the Commun-
list Party of China, he said, made
not only opportunist errors but even
counter revolutionary errors, for
instance when it appealed for the
suppression of the peasant Eek
cesses." The present leadership of
the Communist Party of China
showed liberation towards the putch-
list tendencies in the beginning but
since has corrected it's errors.

With the intention of providing
themselves with excuses for arrests
for "peace disturbance" police here
are constantly entering T. M. G.
headquarters with complaints about
leaflet distribution and the gather
ing of members outside the union
hall. The union intends to disre-
gard orders to halt the legal dis
tribution of circulars.
Police agents are also invading
the homes of workers in an effort
to intimidate them with threats of
deportation for strike activities.
They also use browbeating tactics
in an effort to get the parents to
prevent their children from attend
ing children's club meetings where
strike songs are sung. These clubs
are being organized by the union.
