TUUL Board
Plans DyiUe on
Steel Oct0.bus

A series of district conferences
leading to national conference of
steel workers, will lay the basis of
wide and intensive activity to or
ganize the workers in steel, the most
imperialistic and one of the most
centralized of the industries of the
American empire. This is the de-
cision of the Trade Union UNITY
League national executive board, in
its session of Nov: 16 and 21.
The board realizes fully the enor.
nous power directed against organ.
ization of the steel workers. The
U. S. Steel Corporation, the Beth
lehem Steel Co., and most of the
smaller aggregations of steel capital
have been consistently non-unior
for years. In the last great test OF
strength, 1919, the steel companies
stood as unit against their work
ers, and were abundantly able to use
every section of national, state
county and city government for
strike breaking purposes. They were
also able to use the heads of the A
F. of L., and of some of the inter.
national unions to betray the strike
Workers Are Ready.
The T.U.U.L. nevertheless, knows
also that there is much dissatisfac.
tion throughout the steel industry
that the hundreds of thousands OF
workers are ready and anxious tc
do something to improve their con.
ditions. The general secretary of
the T.U.U.L., William z. Foster
leader of the 1919 strike, reported
to the board that on his recent or
ganization tour in every steel center
he found unemployment, speed-up,
and the immediate prospect of wage
cuts. He found the steel workers
eager to hear the message of the
T.U.U.L., and anxious to organize,

CUBAN WORKER

Arrest Union Leaders
Attempt to Whitewash
Cuban Fascism

HAVANA (By MaiD.-The first
details of the assassination, by
agents of President Machado, of the
Negro worker and class leader San
tiago Estaban Brooks, whose body
pierced by revolver bullets was
found in a district of the port of
Tarafa, disclosed that this worker
was murdered by collusion of the
bloody fascist dictator, Machado,
and the leaders of the American
Federation of Labor.
Santiago Brooks was the Secre-
tary Of the Union of Railway En-
ployes of Northern Cuba, and the
"erime" which the Cuban capitalist
press speak so mysteriously about
hi being involved in, was nothing
more than his protest at the use
o the name of his organization and
those of the port workers at Tarafa
in the signing of kilograms to the
adhesion to the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
In connection with the resolution
Of the Foreign Relations Committee
of the U. S. Senate on Sept. 80
1929, concerning conditions in Cuba,

that in Cuba the workers have good
conditions and that the masses are
content with the government"-a

Socialists" So Busy
Betraying Workers,
Overlook Depression

So intent was the Socialist"
party New York convention, held
Saturday and Sunday, in trans
forming its organization to a still
more acceptable capitalist base, that
it forgot even to console American
imperialism on its present difficult
ties.
The discussion of the socialists"
was as completely divorced from
any considerations of the workers
struggles as if the delegates were
locked in a sealed vacuum tube in
the inner recesses of Mars. Their
consideration of the class struggle
is on the best methods of helping
the bosses.
The big leader of this third capi-
talist party is still the sly, shrewd
capitalist attorney, Morris Hillquit.
His generalship W, ! over the sky
pilot Norman Thomas.
1t was necessary for Hillquit, on
several occasions, to remind the
"dignified statesman" Thomas, that
if the new capitalist party, similar
to the La Toilette movement of
1924, is to have labor base, that
at least phraseology smacking of
Socialism" should be retained.
Thomas couldn't move quick
enough in his desire for an imme-
diate broad, social-fascist third cap
italist party. Hillquit did not
disagree with him on any state
ment of principle, but wanted a
"labor" complexion to the new cap
italist party, the more easily to mis-
lead radicalized workers and the
better to serve capitalism in the
critical times to come.

The Young Pioneers of America

talist character of Thanksgiving
Day. The statement reads:
Hoover, the millionaire Wall st.
President, has issued a declaration
that Thursday, Nov. %, be set aside
as Thanksgiving Day. On this day
the rich people will celebrate, but
the workers will starve, just as they
do all year around.
"In the schools the teachers tell
us that we should be thankful that
God allowed us to live in such a
wonderful country. But what have
we workers. children got to be
thankful for?
"We have rotten conditions in our
homes and in the school. We have to
60 to work at an early age, because
our parents don't make enough to
live on. Our parents are robbed by
the bosses. Should we be thankful
for all this?
"In the schools the teachers try
to make good slaves out of US, so
that we will be good soldiers for the
bosses. The workers children must
ask themselves, For whom is
Thanksgiving? 1t is for the bosses
and not for the workers.
"Only in workers Russia have the
children anything to be thankful for.
There the government is controlled
by the workers and farmers, and the
children are the first care of the
Soviet State.
"The workers children must fight
for the establishment of a workers
and farmers government here in
the United States, and then we'll
have something to be thankful for"
