1000 Picket
Nash Motors:
Strike Enters
Fourth Week
A. F. 1. Strikebreaker
Makes Defense of
Capitalism

KENOSHA, Wise, March a.
Over 1000 Nash Motors workers
picketed IN front of the plant here,
beginning the fourth week Of their
strike with splendid spirit and de-
termination to win. The greatest
danger to their chances Of victory
lies in the treacherious maneuver5
on the part of the National Labor
Board, aided by the leading Off
Gals Of the American Federation Of
Labor.
The local president Of the Trades
and Labor Council, Felix Olkives,
having been thoroughly exposed for
his strikebresking activities in the
strike of last November, is keeping
in the background The militant
rank and filters in the Nash Fed
eral Union, affiliated to the A, p.
Of L., are demanding in no uncer-
tain terms that there be no return
to work on the same shameful basis
as that of the last strike.
This same Mr., Olkives, in a letter
printed in the local capitalist paper,
the Kenosha Evening News, has the
following to say about the capital
list system:
Capitalism itself is on trial to-
day. Most American people pre-
fer the existing system il It can
be made to work. I believe the
chances are even that it can be
made to work unless the overlords
Of capitalism are as blind and
stupid as the BOurbOns of France
who ignored every danger signal
and sneered at every wise council
until the mob set up a guilIotine
in the market place"
This apologist for the present
system, the system of wage slavery
and oppression, that has forced the
Nash workers to strike to secure a
living wage, likes to imagine him
self in the role of wise councillor to
the wealthy. Instead Of fighting
for the interests Of his class, he
worries over the stupidity and greed
Of the capitalists. Let him do so.
The Nash workers, who have TO
work for these same overlords of
capitalism, are more concerned with
wrestling a decent wage from the
hands of their masters, than in
arguing with them about what will
occur if they don't get it.

and to struggle against any form

right Of the Negro workers to work

the white workers.
THE fight for the unemployed

Bethlehem Steel Men
Boycott Co. Union
Vote Despite Threats
Company Uses Tricks
to Win Over Negro
Steel Workers

BALTIMORE, Md. (By
Nail In spite Of all threats
and tricks of the company,
the overwhelming majority of
bhe steel workers in the Beth
lehem Steel plant at sparrows Point
boycotted the elections for company
representatives company union)
this week, This is a direct result
of the campaign of agitation and
organization conducted by the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union
for the past month, to defeat the
company union.
Last week, when the nominations
were held the workers made a huge
joke Of voting, many of them &C
cepting the ballots and writing Mae
West, Popeye or Andy Mellon on
them and dropping them into the
ballot box. The company counted
them later for the company union
The workers soon learned what a
serious mistake this was; that in
order to really boycott the elections
it was necessary 10 refuse to accept
the ballot. They did not repeat
this mistake in the final elections
In the sheet mill, the first day of
the nominations, the Negro openers
boycotted the elections. The fol-
lowing day, however, the company
officials went among the Negroes
and nominating Negro as repre-
sentative, succeeded in footing the
Negroes TO vote.
However, special issue of the
union Bulletin exposing this trick,
together with the personal activity
Of the members Of the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union in
this department, succeeded in con-
vincing the Negroes that it was
in their interest to boycott the
elections.
S. M. w. 1. u. Asked United Front
During this campaign, the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial
Union made repeated efforts to eff
feet united front with the Anal
gamated Association Of Iron, Tin
and Steel Workers. The leadership
of the A. A. rejected all offers, at
the same time warning their mem
bers not to follow any actions pro-
posed by the steel q Metal" in
the campaign to defeat the COM
pany union, on the grounds that it
would be coercion"
In spite of their sections, the
united front was carried through
right on the job, with members of
the A. A., members of the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union,
and the unorganized workers unit
ing to boycott the elections.
AS the next step in this struggle,
the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union drafted the follow
ing set of demands to be discussed
by the workers in the mill for ap-
proval. On Saturday, a well at
tended open meeting of steel work.
ers unanimously adopted them,
They are now being circulated in
the mill.
/. A general increase in wages
to meet the rising cost of living.
2. A six hour day with no re-
duetion in wages.
3. Abolition Of the company
union.
4. The right to elect depart
ment committees by all the
workers without intimidation and
the right of the workers to choose
their own union.
5. Against the speed-up system.
The workers are being urged and
invited to discuss these demands
and prepare for action that will
defeat the company union and win
improved conditions.

PROFITS CHECK
RALLY EFFORT
Of STOCKS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. % U.N.S0. .
The stock market was narrow and
irregular today as persistent profit
taking came into the list and
checked the advance.
Efforts to resume the rise we're
made at various times during the
session, with first one group, then
another, brought forward for lead
erShip. Pressure on the rails and
utilities was an offsetting influ-
ence, however, and the market
failed to get far in either direction.
The impending report of the
committee of Secretary of Com
merce Roper on market regulation
was the principal restraining in
fluence. Added to this was the
unexpected decline in steel oper-
ationS and the mixed trend Of rail-
road traffic last week.
Utilities were depressed by rec
concentrations of Governor Leh-
man, of New York, regarding
power legislation to the legisla-
ture. Consolidated Gas dropped
about a point and the others were
easy. Volume was light.
Mining shares were given
whirl in the early dealings. These
were followed by the liquors and
Shipbuilding shares. Around noon
Dupont was taken up to par in
volume, while the steel shares be-
came active and stronger. In none
Of these cases, however, did buy
ing follow the stocks up, and the

NEW YORK, Jan. % UN.S0.
The stock market was somewhat
upset by the decline in steel
operations when everyone antici-
pated a steady rise. Wall Street
continues serene about the Situa-
ton, however. Stocks didn't do
any tumbling to worry about and
apparently are going through
another technical correction after
the squirt at the close of the
week. 4
The So-called advance "dope"
on the Roper committee market
report was that it wouldn't upset
the bandwagon. The feeling is
that any regulation move won't
come until fairly late at this SeS-
sion of Congress.
Colgate-Palmolive-Peet is at.
tracing favorable attention due
to the better price situation in
it's industry. Some heavy profit
taking is coming into Libby

brought the stock under 80.
There is talk of an early move
to take Otis Steel out of receiver
