NEW METALUNION
Must Be United Front
of All Races for
Class Struggle"

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 10.-The
Metal Workers Industrial League has
Just received cablegram from the
Metal Workers International Com
r,ittee in Berlin. 1t reads:
"Fellow Workers: - The United
States of North America, the most
highly developed industrial country
in the world, held up for praise by
the reformist leaders of all countries
as a model country Of advanced de-
velopment to the workers Of the
world, has been caught up in the
whirlpool of the capitalist interna-
tionsl economic crisis, and has been
drawn deepest of all into it. In the
so-called free America, more free
than any other country in the world"
the workers are abandoned to the
greatest want and misery.
"The leaders of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor trade unions, in al
lance with the yellow fascist of the
Cox type, know no other way out of
the crisis beyond attempts to save
the accused capitalist system, and
therefore they support all the work.
ing conditions. In order to aid in the
maintenance of the brutal capitalist
dictatorship, these deliberate betray-
ers of the working class promote by
every possible means the sowing of
dissension among the exploited, and
do their utmost to incite the en-
ployed against the unemployed, the
native against the foreign born work
ers, the white against the colored.
"The first National Convention of
the MWIL. in Pittsburgh, the dele
gates of the exploited workers, are
faced by the great task of creating
the united front of all exploited iron
and steel workers, colored and white,
American and foreign, employed and
unemployed, for the struggle against
the impoverishment of the working
class
"This same object must be served
by the organization which the Pitts
burgh Convention is going to found
for the metal workers. This must be-
come the most energetic and pur-
poseful organizer and leader of the
struggle.
Therefore, the Metal Workers IN
tercom welcomes your Unity Conven-
ton for the founding of an iron,
steel and metal workers union, and
hopes that you will be successful in
Welding together all iron, steel and
metal workers, irrespective of race,
in one organization, which will be
able to lead the struggle against the
employers, against the reformist and
yellow unions, and against the
threatening imperialist war on the
Soviet Union.
1.-THE Metal Workers Intercom ex-
poets that the new organization, the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union, will establish firm interna-
tional contact with the Metal Work
ers Intercom and with all revolu-
tionary metal workers organizations
in other countries. In order that the
results of experiences may be ex-
changed, gained in the struggle in
different countries, and in order that
mutual support may be given in the
struggles, this contact is an impera-
tive necessity at the present juncture.
Long live the struggle of the
American metal workers in the revo-
lutionary united front against the
exploiters.
Long live the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union of the
U.SA.
Long live the struggle of the met
al workers against imperialist war.
Long live international solidarity
with the metal workers of all coun-
tries.
