HAVERHILL, Mass. Over 800
unemployed members of the
United Shoe and Leather Workers
Union attended the first mass un-
employed meeting called by the
unemployed committees elected in
each local and initiated by Alfred
Porro, agent of Lasters Local No. 8.
Brother Porro outlined the work
so far. In the reports it was
pointed out how the manufactur-
ers try to use the unemployed
against the employed. The prob

ployed single men and women were
taken up. The Workers Unem-

SEATTLE, March 24-A national movement to create port" for aged and indigent sailors and fish, ermen of the United States has been launched here by prominent shipping men who will incorporate the Sailors Rest Haven Association, Inc.
 The incorporators, including vir- tually every well-known shipping man in the Pacific Northwest, said they are asking the Federal Gov ernment to let them have the old Federal Marine Hospital at Port Townsend so they can start their effort to care for every mariner who needs refuge, whether he be from the oceanic trade routes, the fishing fleets or the inland water ways.

Gains Made i'm Baltimore
Not Utilized to Good
Advantage for Daily
By MAC HARRIS

Some definite positive achieve
ments, attained within the past few
weeks, can be recorded by the revo-
lutionary movement in Baltimore.
In the waterfront section, our Party
and Y.CL. comrades in the Marine
Workers Industrial Union, have been
the driving force and instrumental
in leading successful struggles of
the marine workers. AS a result the
membership of the Union has grown
tremendously and the Communist
members of the Union particularly.
have won the respect and confidence
of the marine workers and small
businessmen on the waterfront.
The bourgeois press of Baltimore
has tried its utmost to vilify the
Communist leadership in the Union.
but to no avail. Their tactics have
succeeded in acquainting additional
marine workers with the fact that
the Communists were instrumental
in attaining decided improved con-
ditions for the marine workers in
the Baltimore port.
The systematic activity amongst
the steel workers has resulted in an
increased membership for the Steel
workers Union. New forces have
been brought into the Party as
result Of this activity. The bulletins
issued to the mill workers have upon

Open Letter Shows Way
to Increase the
Circulation

Here we wish to conclude this
article by relating personal ex-
perience. While travelling on a
Philadelphia street car about two
years ago, we noticed the conductor
reading the Daily Worker. We en-
gagged him in conversation and
gradually asked him how he liked
the Daily Worker He answered as
follows This is workers paper
and I like to read it because it tells
the truth, but there are only two
things I am able to fully under
stand and that is the Red Sparks"
column and the Workers Cores
pondentS."
This was undoubtedly the senti-
ment of many workers who read
the old Daily" but our tour has
convinced us that with the new
Daily" we now have a paper with
which We can approach broad
stratas Of workers, intellectuals,
professionals and small businessmen.
The circulation of the Daily
Worker can be increased, but not
on the basis of accepting the Open
Letter in theory and failure to carry
it out in practise. The Baltimore sec
ton, as well as many other sections
throughout the country should not
only politically analyze our activity
in the circulation drive, but also in
stitute systematic checkup on the
course of the drive.

Aluminium Workers Bitter on
AFL Heads Treachery

without a struggle? Surely, our
leaders didn't expect their demands
to be handed to them on a silver
platter, did they? Also, they told
the workers that I. w. Wilson, the
Vice-President of the company had
told them that as fer as he was
concerned, the plant could stand
idle indefinitely. But wilson's ac-
lions belied this statement, as he
was doing every possible thing in
his power to get the men to return
to work. For this, as a means, he
was using the N.R,A., the A. F. Of
L., and the press. Some persuaders
these tools, Ell?
And through our own leaders, the
voice Of the rank and file was muf-
fled from loud and brazen roar
down to a mere whisper. The last
few mass meetings that we held dur
ing the strike, no member worker
was allowed the floor to voice his
thoughts or opinions. Little by little,
with the leaders discouraging the
workers, rather than encouraging
them, they lost the great spirit Of
determination that they came out
with. The leaders went to the ex-
tent of having secret meetings and
keeping the outcome of these meet
ings from the workers.
So-fellow- workers, this has been
bitter lesson for us, but it will
be well worth the sacrifice, if those
that are out on strike and if those
that are contemplating such a move,
bear in mind what happened to the
workers here at New Kensington.
Don't put your fate in the hands
Of a chosen few, but keep your fate
and the outcome Of q strike in your
own hands by having rank and file
leadership.

Narrow Outlook on Concentration
The Open Letter correctly en-
phssises the Importance Of concen-
trsting on individual large plants.
Many Of our comrades misinterpret
this. They think that such large
shops live in a vacuum. That they
can be organized while ignoring the
rest Of the industry. Of which this
shop is a part. Nor can We ignore
the relations of a given shop to
the A. F. L. unions, that exist in
that particular industry, To get
results in such plants is not suf1-

contacts, organize groups, and hope
that by increasing these groups, we
will gradually, along a straight line,
organize the factory. We want TO
show by three examples that such
possibilities are very rare.

(By an Aluminium Worker
Correspondent

ARNOLD, Pa.--On March IL, the
disgruntled and dissatisfied alumni
nun workers Of the New Kensington
plant returned to their jobs, after
being on strike since March for
a general increase Of wages; the
check-off, and better working con-
ditions. An increase of II per cent
was given to those that weren't
working in the plant at the time
of the general increase last August
and hadn't had their wages in
creased since they were hired-so
you can see only few benefited by
the strike.
The workers returned to work
with the knowledge that their faith
and confidence in the N.R.A. and
A. F. of L. and their own leaders,
was misplaced and therefore not
justified. When the workers came
out on strike, they had a world of
confidence in these things.
The loss of the strike-though it
was not a loss entirely-can be as
cribed to one thing, and that was
lack Of real leadership Having no
president because he resigned few
days before the holiday" was de-
clared, we put our faith in the
hands of an acting chairman and
an executive committee. The rank
and file put their faith in these
hands and as was later proven, it
was a great mistake.
