Committee and his position as di-
rector of publications and research

effect on Monday when the board of
directors holds its monthly meeting.
1t is regarded as certain that the

The controversy, which has been
raging since last January, conferred
around Du Bois' open advocacy of
voluntary segregation for the

opposing faction of continuing the

Thursday at the piers of the Luck
enbach and Dollar Steamship Com

The men were driven back to work

into the hands of your enemies This strike must
be won on the picket lire Strike 100 per cent on
June 18th and then stay strike until your. de-
mands met. That is the way to win.
May I, as one who fought side by side with you
in the great 1919 strike, offer you the following
proposals based upon the experience gained in that
battle:
/. Let broad workers committee take full
chasye OF the strike SO far as the A. A. is con-
cerred, pushing the Tighe clique Of misleaders
aside.
2. Then form united front between this
committee and the Steel \ Metal Workers Indus
trial Union and Jointly conduct the strike.
3. Draw the great masses directly into strike
activities. such AZ picketing. broad strike
committees, etc. and permit no settlements to be
made without the vote Of the striking masses Of
steel workers
4. Play fair with the Negro steel workers
Draw them into the strike leadership and sec
to 1t that their demands are furthered and their
jobs protected. They will prove the very best Of
strikers and fighters.
S. Reach the railroad workers and coal min
with mass delegations, and win their support
for your strike that when the strike comes no
materials of steel shall be produced or hauled to
ard from the mills.
Steel workers. Your victory will be the victory
of the whole working class. Strike solid on June
18th in every steel center in the United States.
Solidarity will defeat the Steel Trust and all its
government and rsactionary labor leader allies.
P. s-My only regret is that due to my pro-
longed illness from which have not vet fully
recovered. I am not able to take an active part
in your hght. You can be sure however that
will do all in my power to assist.

VLADIVOSTOK, June 8 (By Ra-

their treacherous in this present strike move
ment, trying to sabotage and sell it out, is fully

You must realize that the A. A. head leaders
are your enemies. No less than the employers and
the government, they are out to break your strike
you fail to understand this vital fact and neglect

workers in Weirton is only one of many such acts

Many bitter lessons We learned in the 1919 strike
Let us profit by them now. These lessons may all
be summed up in one phrase: Take the strike into

.Nazis Order Military
Roll Calls in Factories
To TerrOrize Workers

BERLIN, June s.-Military roll
call, to dragon the workers and
force them to repeat Nazi slogans
twice g day in the factories as an
antioote to wing struggles
against fascism was ordered yester-
day by Robert Ley, Nazi leader Of
the labor front"
The excuse given by Ley for this
move was that it will break the mo-
notony Of labor. The slogans are
changed each day and are made to
suit the needs of the Nazis in the
factory to speed up production or
to terrorize the workers who are be-
coming increasingly and actively
anti-fascist.
Ley said the Nazis are not at all
impoverished in their ideas. We
have a lot up our sleeves yet" he
assured the press.
