There is no doubt that the con-
ference between Tighe and the COM

is to postpone strike action, to carry
on long and tedious negotiations, to
give the steel corporations more
time to pile up surplus, to get past
the regular busy steel season and to
enter the third quarter Of the year
which is also the slackest period in
the steel industry; to tire out and
to demoralize the steel workers.

these maneuvers can be utilized to
cement further the growing unity

ment Insurance, against speed-up,
against check-off, etc, to be en-
bodied in an iron code that an

The Iron Ore Miners of Michigan,

own workers code in which will be
included the demands of the min
ers, which the miners are discussing
about at the present time. These
demands include: /. Six hour day
Five day week; 2. Five dollars per
day minimum wage for miners. the
other laborers to receive increased
wage in proportion.
Now I wish to deal a little more
in detail with the two above de-
mands. The 6-hour day-fve day
week can be won by the miners, if
the miners both employed and IN
employed will unite and struggle
side by side till all of their de-
mands are won. With the up-to-
date machinery in and around the
mines, the miners will produce
enough profits, with less speed-up,
with the six hour day - five day
week, with the loss of but very
little of the present huge profits of
the company. and at the same time
add few of the unemployed to
jobs, The 5-day week would also
guarantee the miners a minimum
Of Is days work per month, and
do away with some Of the discrimi-
nation that the companies are
using against the disliked workers
in many of the mines, in connec-
ton of the extra work day system
Regarding the demand for $500
per day minimum wage. Now we
all agree with an idea of an in
crease to the present wages. to meet
