Road TO Power
1.-THE road to such revolutionary
government, lies along the road of
militant class struggle for the daily
needs of the workers. 1t lies in
building powerful fighting trade
unions, which will prevent the cap
italist wage cuts, speed-up, and leng-
thening of hours in the factories. 1t
lies in the building of powerful
movement of employed and unem-
ployed workers, united in unemploy-
ment councils, to fight for and win
adequate unemployment relief and
insurance. 1t lies through supporting
the war veterans in their struggle
for back-pay, for the bonus. 1t lies
through allying with the bankrupt
farmers, in the fight for possession
Of their farms. against mortgage and
tax foreclosures, and for national

ing held here this afteroon under the
leadership of the Trade Union Unity

of Commerce. This idea was rejected
by the workers.

wages, the workers are demanding the
so hour work week, time and a half

Reject Plea of Howard

Over 5000 members of local Big

report of the negotiations of the
leaders with the bosses on the book
and Job wage scale. Mr.. Howard,
president of the international Union,
presented the proposal OF the en-
ployers for II per cent wage cut,
a, modification of the priority rule.
and concession to the foremen on
hiring and firing. The bosses pro-
posals also contained scheme to put
all men to work at rate IS per cent
below the scale.
Mr.. Hewson, local president, tried
to pose as being against these pro-
posals. This was a political trick to
get the support of the members and
to put the entire blame on Howard
and his committee. This was shown
when in the discussion Hewson gave
the floor to everyone favoring the sell
out, but refused to recognize the
militants, members of the Amalga-
nation Party, who were opposed to
the sell-out.
In spite of these maneuvers, rank
and file members showed definite OPP
position to all proposals, and voted
that all proposals go to referendum
which will take place Wednesday.
Socialist Backs Pay Cuts
Ed Cassidy, Socialist candidate fol-
Congress, made a, characteristic
speech in favor of the employers
shedding copious tears at their plight
He attacked the militants, and urged
members to accept the wage cut anc
submit to all proposals made by the
employers.
The Inauguration Party has is
sued call for united action against
the manuevers of Howard and Hew-
son and Cassidy to cut wages ano
destroy union shop conditions, and
has urged members to vote against
the proposals brought in by Howard
an dto insist through militant action
on a shorter working day without a
