Democratic leaders in Latvia sup
ported the reaction by always para

Of late, the press of Latvia has

This provides lesson to the steel workers who

To rely on Mike Tighe who from the be-

To rely the so-called "insurgent" leaders
of the type of Fishbeck who refuse to unite the
workers irrespective Of union af7Iiation, who still
create illusions that Roosevelt will act in the in
terests of the steel workers. is to disarm the work

IVA the workers can win their fight against the en-
ployers and corporations only if they take indie

basing themselves on firm policy of class strug-

not only against the employers but against the
