HOW THE POLISH
TRAMWAYMEN DID 1T

"How They Won" is worth its
weight in gold to every worker in
terested in the building of the revo-
lutionary unions. Ruthless speedup
measures were breaking the tram
waymen's backs. A ten-hour stretch
on the cars was the rule. The Red
Tramwaymen's Union, Right in the
Shops, prepared the tramwaymen
for struggle. At the end of the
days work mass meetings were held
in the workshops and other branch
es of the service; not only union
members but also the unorganized
and the members of reactionary
unions were invited.
At every meeting and gathering
the Red Union and the Red Trade
Union Opposition emphasized that
the capitalist plan of rationaliza-
ton could be stopped as soon as
the workers elected their committee
of struggle under the leadership of
the Red Trade Union Opposition.
This committee started one of the
most militant strike struggles ever
seen in Poland. The strike was
spread from the shops to the power
station and the depot.
The attacks by the fascist police
came fast. But the workers had
defense corps and gave good ac-
count of themselves. Seeing the
splendid organization of the strik-
ers, the notorious men joined
them.

Government, the government which
is leading and directing the most
savage capitalist offensive and war

and speed-up; to the London trans
port workers, threatened with wage
cuts and dismissals; to the printing
workers, engineers, municipal work.
ers, all of whom are directly men
aced by the new offensive.
The Lancashire cotton workers
are worthily taking their places in
the battle line of the international
onslaught of the textile baronS.
The heroic strike and the barricade
fighting of the Vienne textile
proletariat, the strike of the Polish
textile workers who at Bialystok
fought against the fascist and mill
tary terror, the strikes of the Japa-
nese textile workers under condi-
tions of unheard-of repression, the
preparations of the Saxon textile
proletariat for strike against wage
cuts-the Lancashire workers add
another to these heroic class bat
ties of the international textile
proletariat.
The Lancashire textile workers
look to the whole of the British
and international proletariat for
support in their struggle. Already
the response to their appeal shows
that they will not look in vain.
But it is necessary to act quickly,
to pour into Lancashire messages
OF greeting and solidarity, and
money for the strike relief actions
being organized by the w. I. R.
THE most dangerous enemies of
the strike are, the reformist
trade union leaders who already are
negotiating behind the scenes with
the employers and the government,
seeking to find basis of COM
promise on which to call off the
strike and betray the interests OF
the workers.
The Communist Party and the
Textile Minority Movement are
ceaselessly striving to strengthen
the strike front, to organize the
strike, to develop relief, to develop
an elected strike leadership repre-.
senting and having the confidence
of the striking masses. Only in
this way can the maneuvers of the
strikebreakers of all shades be de-
feated Increasing thousands of
strikers are expressing in meetings
and demonstrations their support
for this line of the Communist
Party and the Textile Minority
Movement, and are rallying TO the
slogans: No Wage Cuts! No, More
Looms Reinstate the Dismissed
Weavers! For Collective Agree
ment Embodying Those Slogans!

Worker on West 25th ST., between 9th
Avenue and 10th Avenue in New York
City, one of the workers on this
block called me in and bought a
Daily Worker. On talking further

Most of the workers on the block
are either out of work or are getting
starvation wages. A great many OF
the workers go to the Salvation Army
for measly plate of beans or to the
A. 81 P. for stale loaf of bread or
weak coffee. Many Of the children
go to school hungry and without suf-
ficient clothes. Often they have no
electricity or gas, and have to use oil
lamps, candles, or go around in the
dark.

THE SOVIET TRADE UNIONS
How, under Socialism, as in the
Soviet Union, do the trade unions
improve the wages and conditions
of the workers; whas are their
methods of worn; what part do
they play in the construction u
Socialism? These are question
which workers often ask. WheM
imperialism is preparing to attacw
the Soviet Union, the popularizing
of the work of the Soviet Trade
Unions is of the greatest import
ance.
''Trade Unions Under Socialism"
by j. Shvernik, secretary of the
Central Council Of the Trade
Unions of the Soviet Union, tells
how, the Soviet workers, in their
struggle for Socialist construction,
are realizing their creative energy
and initiative in new Socialist
forms of labor.

ALMOST ON A
SILVER PLATTER

The Red International of Labor
Unions, of which our Trade Union
Unity League is the American sec
ton, offers US these experiences,
you can almost say on silver
platter. We have, up to now, paid
little, almost no attention to the
pamphlets published by the RILU,
and to the RILU magazine. The
time has come when the RILU lit
erature must be popularized, must
be circulated broadcast.
Let us look over some of the re-
cent publications of the RILU.
How They Won the Strike of the
Warsaw Tramwaymen;;" "Stop Mu-
nitions!" and others. We talk q
lot about how to win strikes, how
to prevent the shipment of NUM-
tions; the RILU pools the expert
ences of the workers in all coun-
tries, and tells us how to win strikes,
how to halt munitions, and we have,
at least up to now paid very little
attention.

What Workers of Other
Countries Can Teach Us
VITAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE R. /. L. U.
By N. HONG.

TWO hundred and fifty thousand
L Lancashire weavers on strike
Not wheel turns in the biggest
textile area in the world. The Brit
ish labor misleaders confer, confer,
and confer some more with bosses
and government while the reVolu-
tionary minority movement stirs
the strikers on.
The scene shifts across the Eng
fish Channel, to Belgium. A strike
starts in one of the coal pits in
Limoges. Inside of few days every
miner in Belgium is out. Into Ger
many, across the border into France
the strike spirit spreads. The
strike becomes a great demonstra-
ton of international working class
solidarity.
IN POLAND
In terror-ridden Poland, where
death threatens every militant
working class fighter, the tramway-
men of Warsaw erect barricades
and battle the Pilsudski police and
troops. The Polish tramway1nen,
after a bitter, fierce struggle, win
their demands.
Mass strike struggles, not merely
of thousands, but Of tens and hun
dreds of thousands of workers, are
constantly being waged by the toll
ing masses of these countries, work
ers with growing tradition in the
battle of class against class.
LESSONS FROM
THE BARRICADES
Who can calculate the immense
value of the lessons of these strug-
giles, to the American workingclass?
Out of generations of life and death
struggles, out of battles on the bar
ricades, out of mass rebeIlions
against reformist misleaders, out of
countries where starvation has
Stalked since the years of world i'm
perialist war, countries under the
iron grip of fascist dictators, these
lessons come to us.
Our shortcomings are many, in
our preparations of struggles, in
our work in the A. F. of L., etc.
We have a lot to learn. Experience
teaches us and we can also
learn much from the collective ex-
periences of the revolutionary trade
union movements in other coun-
tries.
