CMBOEIDEnTED by the steel trusts massacre Of Am
A bridge, Pa. steel strikers the Ukrainian fascist
organizations led by Black Hundred forces Of the local
Greek Catholic Church, arranged demonstration
against recognition Of the Soviet Union Sunday,
oct. g.
Steel trust gunner who forbade pcketing and
strikers mass meetings welcomed this movement Of
vituperation against the workers fatherland.
But they reckoned without their host. They over
looked the fact that the brutal slaughter and terror
that smashed the steel strike did not smash the mill
fancy OF the steel workers
When these heroic steel workers, whose bravery in
the face Of the armed mobilization Of the steel trust
is enshrined in the heart OF every militant American
worker learned Of this anti-soviet demonstration they
decided to prevent it.
WTTE placards hidden under their coats hundreds
w OF them fell into the parade, and when it started
held aloft their slogans Of solidarity with the Soviet
Union. They made short shrift Of the Fascist Anti
Soviet parade. Instead the Ambridge steel workers
turned the demonstration into an action for Soviet
recongtion.
Many OF the steel workers, bearing wounds Of the
recent struggle faced the terror Of the steel
trust gunner to voice their solidarity with the work
ers in the U.SSR
These workers who felt the crushing attack Of the
N.R.A. and paid for It with their blood, who lived
through all the nnockery Of Roosevelt's demagogic
promises Of higher wages and the right to organize
demonstrated against the capitalist way out OF the
crisis and for the revolutionary way exennplihed by
the successful achievements Of the Union Of Socialist
Soviet Republics.
Coming on the eve Of the sixteenth anniversary OF
the Russian Revolution this greeting to the workers
In the Soviet Union from Ambridge viii evoke the
greatest Joy.
JUST three weeks ago the steel trust gunner, armed
with every modern portable death-dealing instru-
ment sought to crush out every spark Of rtancy Of
these steel workers. The Ambridge strikers their
brothers shot to death wounded by gunfire. They
driven to work at the muzzes Of machine guns.
They were terrorized and threatened with death in
their homes
Yet they reform their ranks for courageous action
TO throw into the teeth of the steel trust gunner and
all their forces of oppression and darkness their
daunted courage and their undying solidarity with
the victorious proletariat in the Soviet Union.
The Ambridge steel workers. whose strike mill
fancy inspiring example to all workers and
anathema to the steel trust now exhibit their high
political consciousness their deep understanding Of the
revolutionary Importance of the Russian revolution 1t
learning to know that the Soviet road is the
only way out of the misery starvation and terror OF
the steel trust and its government.
The audacity of these workers In the face Of the
steel trusts fascist terror which still rules Ambridge
their exemplary demonstration Of international revo-
tionary solidarity, should stir the deepest enthusiasm
in all workers
From the sta1wart hearts Of these workers sur
rounded by the murderers of their brothers, in the
very citadel Of NRA reaction, came the cry that is
resounding louder Long Live the Soviet Unionl
Long Live the World Revolution
