Push the Campaign for
Workers Bill H. R. 1898

president Roosevelt has let it be
l known that he supports the Wagner
Lewis Strikebreaking Job reserves bill
and wishes that it should be enacted by
Congress during the present session.
The sudden action of the government
in pushing the Wagner-Lewis Bill with such energy
is clearly due to the tremendous number of en-
dorsements that have in during the last weeks
in support of the Workers Bill H r. 1898. Only a
few days ago the convention of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron Steel and Tin Workers now in
session in Pittsburgh unanimously endorsed the
Workers Bill. District IS of the United Mine Work
ers also endorsed the Bill These are in addition
to close to two thousand locals of the American
Federation of Labor three State Federations of La
bor-Iowa, Montana, Colorado large number of
central labor bodies such as Philadelphia St. Louis
Providence, as we'll about twenty -seven municipal
councils, including Minneapolis Milwaukee Toledo
Canton, Rockford Des Moines Tacoma, etc. which
called upon Congress to adopt the Workers Bill
Facing the efforts of Roosevelt Wagner-Perkins
assisted by the leaders of the A. F. of L. and of
the Socialist Party who are loud in their praise
of this strkebreaking bill, which denies insurance
to 100000 workers in this country and grants
have jobs and may be unemployed after July, 1896,
we must Immediately get on the job.
THE National Executive Board of the National I'm
employment Council calls all organizations

home owners, fraternal and farmers organizations
etc-also those that have already endorsed the bill
to do the following Immediately:

modified to put across the Workers Bill. The
Party districts sections, and units should rally all
forces The militant unions of the TU.UL. should
make it their job to reach the independent unions
and the oppositions in the A. F. of L. All live
forces in the fraernal and other organizations must
be modified to push this campaign Immediately
and with all energy
Every May Day demonstration, outdoor and in

the Bill and embodying all the above demands.
