On the Carrying Out of the
18th Plenum Decisions
ON FIGHTING WAGE CUTS IN, A STEEL PLANT

steel industry is well written 1t is good to give
statistics of profits of the company and con-
trast this with wage cuts Of the workers. But
the main trouble with your whole story is-it
salary reductions as a gesture, and the first
step to cut wages Of the workers? Certainly
they did, They even tried to bluff that salary
reductions will eliminate the need for cutting
workers wages. That it was lie is seen by
the present blank declaration for the 10 per
cent wage cut throughout the entire industry
The heads of the General Motors and of the
deals with wage cuts in the industry, and says
nothing on these issues in the Bethlehem Steel
Plant where your paper appears. We have
pointed this out time and time again. You can
not expect to develop a struggle in your own
shop against the cutting of wages, if you only
speak on wage cuts in the whole industry, but
you don't take your own plant as basis.
"You say in this story: Make them cut down
their own salaries and bonuses This you sug-
gest instead of cutting the wages Of the workers
But this is not q correct slogan. Didn't the
heads Of the U. S. Steel Corporation make these
rubber industry are also starting their campaign
for mass wage cuts with the bluffed reductions
in salaries
Therefore your slogan here is not only i'm
proper but misleading. It gives in to the general
wage reductions. In our fight against wage cuts
we speak of the fat profits of the corporation,
in contrast with the miserable wages Of the steel
workers, and how still more the steel workers
and their families will have to suffer when an
other wage cut takes place. In speaking to the
Sparrow workers, you have to make all these
facts and issues Sparrow Point facts and issues,
and upon this basis call these workers to
struggle.
''You call for the building Of grievance COM
mittees but you make this general call. You
should have pointed out the immediate need for
these COMMITTEES, and how to organize them.
This becomes still of greater Importance with
the latest developments-the 10 per cent wage
cut Your nuclei must Immediately set to work
and organize grievance committees or shop COM
mittees according to the special situation in
the shop.
Organize the struggle against the present
wage cut that will take effect in your shop as
in the industry as whole; this work can not
be delayed. You must do it right now!"

Do The Old Methods Of Recruiting
Persist?

We printed In yesterdays column the org.
directiyes to the Pittsburgh district bearing on
The problem Of recruiting and keeping new
members. We would like to hear from the dis
tricts what measures they are taking to carry
ont the Plenum directives on doing away with
the old methods of recruiting and keeping new
members. Because Of the Importance OF this
problem We are reprinting part OF the section
of the resolution dealing with it.
at is necessary to have drastic change in
the methods Of recruiting new members into
the Party. The present practice in recruiting
work amounts in practice to repulsion OF
workers anxious to join the Party and excel
lent material for the building Of the Party. 1t
is necessary that recruiting shall be carried on
on mass basis, that every facility shall be
given for the largest possible number Of work
ers to Join the Party, that red taps and delay
in acting ON applications shall be reduced to
minimum, and that the entire Party shall be
prepared not only to welcome the new MEM
bers but to hold them and transform them into
most active reliable Party cadres To this end
the life of the units must be made politically
interesting and valuable for the members. Rou-
tine and bureaucratic methods must be hq'd-
dated"

CARNATIONS which carry on line of indepen-
dent leadership in economic struggles
The strengthening of the work in the reac-
tionary unions In reality, the activization of
every supporter of the revolutionary trade union
movement who Is member of the reactionary

definite tasks, Systematically exposing by means
of facts and documents the sell-out and strike
breaking policy of the apparatus, the defense of

workers at given moment, viii aid us in win
ming over to our side and to start organized re-
volt of the members of the reactionary unions

The systematic, stubborn and planned work
in the reactionary unions in a great measure
depends on the question of the transferring of
our work directly to the shop and the organ
union oppostions which unite all members of
reactionary unions who adhere to the opposi-
ton and work in the given shop.
The establishment of the closest contact in
the work of the revolutionary trade unions and
revolutionary trade union opposition, as well as
between the lower organs in the shops, the lead

local organs, have to become an organic part OF

union movement
The plans of work of all the links of the revo-
lutionary trade unions from top to bottom must
foresee also the concrete tasks in the field of
work of the supporters Of the revolutionary trade
union movement in the reactionary trade unions.
The TUUL and It's organs must Systematically
control the work Of the revolutionary trade
unions in this respect, listen to reports OF the
opposition groups in the reactionary unions, give
practical directives to further develop the work,
to look after the correct division of the active
forces for the purpose Of insuring the neces-

The Decline and Fall of Jazz

When American imperialism was going about
kicking all the neighbors' dogs, we happened to
spend some time in Spain, without, 1t is true,
fully advising Primo de Rivera, the fascist die
tator, of our presence
1t panied us greatly to dissemble, but twas
necessary. However, what panied Us more and
wasn't at all necessary was the way American
Jazz had replaced the much more harmonious
and catching music of Spanish birth. In Ma
drid and Barcelona, everywhere, in fact, the
coffee houses or cafes are the throlged centers
of social contact. And in almost al OF them
we found the same jazz, which was not ohe
reason, but might well have been, for olr laav-
ing America.
Only in the cheapest and--it must BE- said
the most diSreputable cafes, was there the native
music and songs Of Spain. Inc dollar was boss
in Spain and so the peseta had to swallow jazz
too Well since the dollar is now falling in
relation with the franc on void exchange, we
guess that jazz is likely to suffer al unpopular
ity in many countries, ere long, and not only in
Spain
We were reminded of this because the COM
paneros of the Vida Obrera the Communist
Partys organ in Spanish OF this be-jaz1sd land,
are giving blowout dance, entertainment ana
what not at the New Harlem Casino tpis Sat
urday night d16th st. and Lenox Ave-, and
have promised to have something really Span
ishy.
That is, they have Mexicans and Cubans to
sing and play and we hope someone from Porto
Rico, too. These all have the proper kind OF
pepper, and since it costs only four bits, we
think you'll enjoy it that much, anyhow
1t gives me a pain in the neck to go to "a
Spanish dance" and hear nothing but jazz. And
we demand that the vida Obrera" furnish those
who conle-not with ham sandwiches - heaven

it's cold night we would take little puchero,

"Steel Does IT.
By JORGE

That was the title of an editorial in the N Y.
Post of September %, and since the Post is j. P.
Morgan's property cit combines with the NJ Y
Sun and goes out of business shortly, what it
says is Wall Streets words.
Steel, as you know, has done it" all rightly!
And So since U. S, Steel also belongs to Nor
gan why shouldn't the N Y Post approve? In
the light of Deportation Doak's Labor Day
speech in which he saw" prosperity "just
ahead" what the Post says is interesting;
'"The largest corporation in the world has
decided that good times will return neither
soon nor automatically. Steel has determined
that the idea of merely temporary dslOca-
ton is to be discarded
But the way it handles Hoover, who has
suddenly been struck with Coolidge dumbness,
is delightful: 1--WE do not at all object to seeing
Washington deplore the move-wage cuts" Sure,
let Hoover "deplore"! 1t don't cost a cent and
his sadness" keeps the workers guessing -
maybe.
But" says the Post I'VE decidedly think that
MIR. Julius Klein Assistant Secretary of Com
merce goes far beyond the bounds of propriety
and good sense when he groWls out the threat
that there will be hell to pay throughout the
United States in the event of general wage
reduction"
You see, for Hoover to "deplore" and Sized
gobs of tears don't hurt anything But Klein
deplored too violently, and used such improper
words! Words that might get the workers to
thinking that the government would sort of look
kindly on little shell to pay"
Julius Klein, you have been bitten ny cep-
italist crocodile! Consider yourself rebuked for
being such a jackass as to make your "deplor~
ing" useful to strikers against wage cuts! What
the hell do you think J. P. Morgan keeps you
on the payroll for2 Whose government do you
think you're running, anyhow?

against these conditions of the youth,
The whole organization campaign must be
closely connected up with the building CT IT,
employed councils of steel and met -orkers
In the company towns. where the overwhelming
majority of the population are steel workers
the key to successful organization of the mill
men will be based on the building and activizng
of unemployed councils of steel workers From
this source the MW.I.L. will gather hundreds OF
contacts of steel workers still employed and viii
be able to develop squads of organizers as is be-
ing done now in the Pittsburgh area. The terror
in company towns will be smashed only through
a broad unemployed steel workers movement
linked closely with the mill workers.
In the company towns the unemployed coun-
ellis must take the form of Unemployed Councils
of the Metal Workers Industrial Union. De-
mands must be directed point blank at the mill
offices in conjunction with the general demands
for unemployment insurance. The immediate de-
nands of the unemployed steel workers must be
centered around the struggle for free rent In
company houses, free water and light from the
Steel Trust public utilities non-payment OF
mortgage interest on company owned homes
through the Steel Trust land holding companies
wiping out Of long standing debts in the COM
n1issaries and company stores, etc.
The link between the unemployed steel work.
ers and the employed workers on three, four and
five days a week, must be the steel workers who
are working a steady one day a week and one
day every two weeks. Thousands of steel workers
in this position are easily reached, and the de-
mands for this category Of workers are COM
bination of the Immediate demands in the mills
and the immediate demands Of the totally I'M
employed. For instance, these workers will join
d., FioI,f fNr
in company and non-company owned houses,
free water and light, and immediate relief from
the treasures Of the Steel Trust. At the same
time. as workers working one day week in the
mills, they will enter the struggle for the par
tial demands on the job. In this way, a welding
Of the workers and unemployed will take place.
The organization of broad mass movements OF
the jobess steel and metal workers must be an
integral part of the steel campaign and the key
to the organization of mass struggles in the
industry.

THE main task of the Metal Workers Indus

Workers Industrial Union. The center of the
union must be in the mills OF the steel trust in
the Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cleveland and Phila-

centrated. In this territory there are over $780,
900 employed and unemployed steel workers and
their families. Especially in the Pittsburgh and
Chicago areas steel predominates over every
other category of industry Cleveland and Phila-
delphia rank third and fourth respectively in
importance.
