Must Build Groups
The building of a group of the
most active and militant members
in a local union means to succeed
in carrying out the wishes of the
rank and file Therein lies the
reason why in locals like 1164 and
2090, the membership are ruling the
local. and the needs of the mem
bership are given full consideration.
A sample of what it means not
to have an organized rank and file
group in a local is Local 2163. This
local has surely a developed and
intelligent membership, and an hon
est officialdom; yet in the current
fight against the N Y. district coun-
Gil the few most advanced members
in this local did not succeed to carry
out their proposals; moreover, no
clarity was developed among the
membership of the local. Why?
Because the few advanced members
in Local 2163 did not as yet realize
the Importance of meeting together

IN ORDER that the carpenters in

declared that a local has been

stress on the demands of the Negro

$4,000 members. This fact in itself
proves beyond all doubt what the

Mrs. Herrick also suggests that
there be set up an agency to settle

drivers to be nothing else than an
open strikebreaking scheme. The

such agencies are designe d

is pointed out. The union repre-

agency to settle disputes with the

bert from the union failed. The

clared that it will stand solidly be-

Panken, the Socialist leader.
whose strikebreaking role was ex-
posed in the first strike, has been
unable to get his snout into the pie
since the new strike wave developed.
The men don't want him.
The judge demanded that Gilbert
retract a statement made by him
at meeting Friday night that "the
strikers do not want Panken or
Ernst" Panken said he would step
out Of the picture if the union would
not GUST Gilbert.
Union officials declared that Gil
bert's statement stands and add that
he will neither retract it or get out
of the organization.

sible for the fact that drivers went
back following the first strike with
out winning their demands" Gilbert
said. I'VE do not want any more

Youngstown Dist. Secretary Of the
Steel and Metal Workers Ind. Union
On Feb. IS, under pressure Of an
increasingly militant rank and file,
officers of AA. lodges in Republic
mills in Canton, Massilon, Warren,
Niles and youngstown met in Can
ton, Ohio to plan concerted action
in all mills of Republic Steel. The
AA. membership in these lodges
with the exception of Niles and
Warren is overwhelmingly a new
membership, workers who Joined the
"A. for action and, failing to get
it from the International Offlcers,
pressed for such conference.
Pressure was so great that a pro-
posal that the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union locals in
Republic mills in Youngstown and
Buffalo be invited 10 participate was
carried.
Local Sol, Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union, Youngstown,
responded with a delegation which
brought with it proposals for united
actions of A. A., Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union and unor-
ganized workers in all departments
of all Republic mills for higher
wages, better conditions, against the
speed-up, against the terror and
the company unions, against the N.
RIA. steel code and for unemploy-
ment insurance. The Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union
delegation suggested the immediate
establishment of joint committees
in all departments where both
unions had membership, and the
converting within 80 days of broad
delegated conference of representa-
tives of both unions and also of
unorganized workers in all depart
mentS of all Republic mills for the
purpose of planning the joint cam
paign on a wide scale.
But before the conference opened
Mike Tighe and Co. heard that the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union was invited. The result was
that three paid organizers of the
A. A. (Walter Payne, formerly of
Follansbee, Gracijar, business agent
of Trumbull Lodge (Warren) and
McKeown, of Canton,) all got up
and made almost lynch melting
speeches against the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union.
Gracijar, former Musteite, gave as
one excuse for barring the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union
delegation that he didn't want the
reports of the conference to appear
in the Daily Worker. The Steel and

egates weren't given a chance to
present their proposals for united
action-the motion to bar them was
railroaded without their even being
