The experience of life in the
steel mills proves cenclusiyely that
our platfort1l--the six points-is the
answer to the sum total of all the
misery and starvation that the $4,000
steel workers of Spsrrov's Point
CBaltimore) steel mills are going
through now.
] In the Sparrows Point Mills where
there are over 5000 steel workers,
today only 5000 work part-tinle.
Mr. Schwab, who gives us not one
penny for relief, says-go back to
the land, back to the land, yes, these
hundreds of workers who have helped
to build UP gigantic industry. He
tells us to dig up the land and to
work with hoe and look for garlic

Recently SO workers we're laid of
and striken off the company store
books and not allowed any more Gre
dit simply took all the food from
the shelves.
In the Bethlehem Steel Mills the
workers received six wage cuts with
in the last two years.
! On the fourth plank; equal rights
for the Negroes and self-deterrnina-
ton for the black belt for the Negro
masses who are in the majority. I
hail from the state of Maryland, the
so-called "free state" where our
Mr.. Richly comes from and when we
come out and bring the program of

great pleasure today comrades in
being a representative. of the steel
workers who are going to play an
important part in imperiaist war.
And when war breaks out or before
war breaks out, even now, we are
carrying on a campaign against the
sending of war material to Japan
and all other imperialist countries.
! Comrades: I can say without hest

The Communist Party program
was taken up. thoroughly discussed,
and adopted by the war veterans of
the Workers Ex-Servicemen's League.
There is one amendment proposed,
as follows:
Resolved, that this convention add
to the Communist platform, support

world war veterans in the fight for
their back wages, mis- named the

The struggle Of the war veterans
is bound up with the struggle of the
entire working class. We therefore

we viii carry on the struggle not only
in the ranks of the veterans, but in
the ranks of the entire working class
for the fight against imperialist war
and for the defense Of the Soviet I'm

Anthracite Miner, Pennsylvania
Before we left the Anthracite, we
had conference and the miners at
tending this conference elected me as
representative to the National Nom
mating Convention. The whole SEN
timent there was that the points
pointed out in the program abso-
lutely appealed TO the miners, espe-
cially the unemployment insurance
bill. Throughout The whole anthrs-
cite region we have total number of
$4,000 miners practically permanently
unemployed. We have something
like 100000 miners that are working
on part time basis averaging 10.
