HELP THE GERMAN METAL
WORKERS STRIKE!

Berlin, and 100000 workers will be confronted
with the wage cut and closing down campaign
of the bosses.
This gives the present metal workers struggle
an unlimited political perspective. If the Ger
man metal workers will be able to continue to
fight they will not only defeat the attempts to
reduce the already unbearable conditions to
absolute starvation, but they also will face the
attack of fascism in Germany with a sweeping
revolutionary offensive of the workers, the poll
tical Importance of which will reach far beyond
the German frontiers and will become land
mark of the revolutionary upsurge in the inter-
national movement.
This strike on the part of the 100000 metal
workers is a challenge of the fascist Bruening
cabinet to force upon the workers in Germany
the Young Plan of Wall Street. The metal
workers made start and they will be followed
by increased revolutionary mass movements on
the part of the German working class.
The T.U.UL. and the W.IR. therefore calls
upon the American workers to support with all
fellow workers. The workers of the United
States must see that the struggle of the Ger
man workers is their own struggle, in fighting
unemployment, wage cuts and the whole system
of naturalization
1t is therefore. necessary that in evry trade
union, in every factory and workshop commit
tees of action, and in solidarity for the German
metal strikers, will be organized to help the
German workers in the present and coming
struggles.
