No Reliance on Green's
Negotiations!

'WE MUST HURRY" stated Michael
W Tighe of the A. A. yesterday to his
associates, "for the men cannot be held
back much longer. am going to call the
President tomorrow"
Here, this A. F. of L. official of the steel
workers sums up the purpose Of the whole
lineup of forces arrayed against the steel strike
The Green ighe plan will not give the steel
workers single advantage.
Several days ago, the Steel Trust exploiters were
shvering in fright at the prospect of mighty steel
strike of 100000 workers Today, they are breath
ing somewhat easier-thanks to the efforts Of the
Green Tghe-Leonard A. F. of L. bureaucracy.
Now is not the time to strike" coaxes Green,
while Wall Street smiles with joy at the efforts of
this professional paralyzer of working class mill
fancy.
But the opposite is true! A smashing strike
punch would catch the Steel Trust clean on the
jaw Production is still running high. The entire
working class of the country would leap at once to
the aid of their fellow workers. fighting the vultures
of the Morgan controlled steel monopoies. we'll
organized strike now would bring the steel workers
better wages more food and clothing for their
wretched families.
Roosevelt is just and fair" gushes Tighe
But it is just Roosevelt who has shown himself
to be the arch-strike- breaker for the Wall Street
employers Roosevelt broke the auto strike with
rotten promises. Roosevelt tricked and gypped the
Weiton steel workers with his fake promises Roose-
welt is the father of the strike breaking NRA.
codes and the compulsory arbitration traps Roose-
welt is the who has placed in the hands of the
steel monopoies the very weapons which they are
using against the steel workers.
THE Graan-Tighe group strives openly to break the
strike through the Roosevelt arbitration" trap
which has already betrayed the Toledo, Minneapolis
and Detroit workers.
The Committee of Ten" made pretense of
criticizing the Tighe group. But only in order to
mask its support Of this group in every essential
step. 1t pafsd the way for its own liquidation at
the hands Of Tighe.
The Musteite hangerS-on heaped praises upon
the Committee of Ten" as the new and radical"
leadership which will sweep away the Tighe group
And this only serves the special task of masking
the reactionary role of the Committee of Ten"
The Steel and Metal Workers Union sup
ported by the Communist Party, Is the only or
ganizsd group really fighting for strike struggles
against the employers.
IT will be historic crime against the steel workers
and their families. if any reliance is placed in the
hypocritical and corrupt negotiations which the
Green-Tighe- Forbeck leadership urges
DO not rely on Washington negotiations. RooSe-
welt has broken the auto and Weirton steel strikes
he has betrayed all the demands of the these work.

In every mill, United Action Committees should
be organized Immediately, with all workers. regard
less Of union political afliaton or color to be in
volved. This is our main, immediate directive to
the steel workers
Al
No reliance on top negotiations. This is our line
toward the Washington negotiations" This de-
mand should be raised in the locals and plants
Strike now wherever possible! Do not wait for
the leaders. Disregard the strike breaking orders
OF the A. F. Of L. officials. 1t is fact that in the
last two days steel workers in the Calumet region
have already won wage increases and important
concessions by separate strikes in the different
mills and departments. (See page 81.
