Workers Ready for Struggle.
"The workers are, however, will
ing to organize and struggle. This
opens great possibilities for the
building of the revolutionary unions
and the Metal Workers Industrial
League. The perspective of the
League, as they will be represented
at the Youngstown Conference, are
for rapidly developing struggle in
the steel and auto industry, culmin-
ating in a general strike in the steel
industry in a not far distant fu-
ture. Many strikes have already
taken place; $500 copper workers
in Perth Amboy last October, the
strike last month of 500 steel work
er5 in Appolo, the Indianapolis
strike of auto workers, the Murray
Body strike, spontaneous department
strikes in many steel mills and metal
manufacturing shops and the strike
now taking place in Warren, Ohio,
in the Tool Forge Co. The tasks of
the NJ. w. I. L. is to broaden and
develop these small struggles into
broader mass struggles and to lay
the basis for the calling of a mass
convention in the near future for
the formation of the new revolu-
tionary union in the entire metal
industry, with departmentalized sec.
tons like auto, steel, electrical, etc.
Youngstown Conference to Prepare
For Struggles.
"The National Bureau of the
League plans for at least II full
time field organizers in the steel
and metal centers after the Youngs-
town Conference. Our experience
the last few weeks before the con-
ference has convinced US that we
must speedily take the strongest or
ganizational measures to build the
League and make not only possible
the realization of 5000 new men,
bers before July 1, but to lead the
nearly 100000 metal workers in
their struggles"
