With the help of IL. A. officials,
shipowners defeated a united strike

hours OF striking.
The union men in the crew were
locked out as a result and a COM

ship was held UP for two days, how
ever, and the resulting cost to own
ers in dockage and lost time would
have paid for several trips of crews
under union conditions.

the rank and f1lers, whose lot is
made thus harder by the indiffer-

from the editorial office of the Coal
Digger" rank and file organ of the
U. M. w. of A.:
Preparations for the Rank and
File Conference are being taken up
enthusiastically by the U. M. w.
locals. Many of the miners have
been for years active fighters against
the coal bosses and their lieuten-
ants, certain U. M. w. leaders. and
during the course of this time have
organized and led many rank and
file movements in the union. These
workers will be glad to participate
in an A. F. of L. rank and file con-
ference in which are represented
other broad categories of industrial
workers"
The other statement was from the
Office of the Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union:
THE Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union greets the p-epara-
tons being made by steel workers
organized in A. F. of L. unions to
mobilize their forces at a Rank

termination of all steel workers to
build one powerful union in the
industry.
When the steel workers in the
A. A. overthrow the reactiona.y Off

make possible the amalgamation OF
