BY WIN. N. FOS1Eh
THE cutting of the steel
! strike movement and the
turning over of the whole
situation to Roosevelt consti-
tutes one of the greatest be-
trayals in the history of the
American labor movement.
The great masses of the steel work
ers were undoubtedly ready to fight.
If they had been given leadership,
doubtless they would have developed
a tremendous struggle, one that
would have surely resulted in es-
tsbiishing trade unionism firmly in
the steel industry, and carried
through other demands.
But this perspective was terrify-
ing to the reactionary labor leader
ship of the A. A. and the A F. Of L.
No less than the steel companies
and the government which, as faith
full lackeys of the employers
dreaded such a strike. So they
spared no efforts to dynamite the
whole business and. unfortunately
they have succeeded. They have
administered a great defeat to the
steel workers.
Especially contemplate in this
debacle was the role Of the Com
mittee of Ten" leaders. They had
the confidence of the rank and file
who wanted action. Yet they
proved themselves the cheapest
demagogueS and double rossers.
After filling the press with dire
threats of bloody struggle, they
vent into the convention and fol-
lowed like meek lambs the treacher-
Gus lead of Tighe and Green. They
accepted tamely Green's proposition,
which is essentially the company
union program of the steel COM
panies and Roosevelt.
Brothers Under the Skin
Their conduct in so doing is in
excusable. 1t is nonsense to say
simply that they were inexperienced
and outwitted by the old labor
takers. They have demonstrated
that when it comes to a pinch their
policy is the same as that of the
ultra -reactionary Tighe. Their sur
render was vote of confidence in
the corrupt Tighe administration
the crooked Green leadership and
the enemy of labor, Roosevelt. They
have crsssly betrayed the steel work
ers and have disqualified themselves
for rank and file leadership.

BY RICHARD B. MOORE

IN ALL the annals Of base betrayal
1 there is hardly to be found a
more dastardly deed than the
latest vicious attempt Of the Pitts
burgh Courier and the N. A. A. C..
P. officials to destroy the defense
CT the nine innocent Scottsboro
boys.
At this crucial moment, when the
defense is using available means,
exerting every possible effort, and
straining every energy to combat
the trickery and terror of the lynch
murderers, when it is imperative to
arouse the greatest mass protest
and struggle and to raise the ire
mendous sums necessary to carry
through the appeals to the U. s.
Supreme Court, these treacherous
upper-class Negro m IS Q r s,
launch lying and venemous at
tack upon the defense which. If it
succeeded, would deliver these in
nocent boys defenseless into the
hands of the white ruling class
lynchers.
In foul and slanderous editorial,
the Pittsburgh Ccurisr declares:
"These Inflated Negroes might pos
sibly have won a new trial if it
had not been for the negligence of
the Scottsboro Defense attorneys"
1t repeats with approval, the vicious
argument of Attorney G enera !
Knight and the Alabama lynch
courts, that the defense attorneys
failed to file the bill of exceptions
within the proper time.
But these reformist Negro traitors
know that the appeal was filed
within the statutory 90 days from
the date when Judgment was en-
tered on December in the hand
writing of Judge Callahan. They
know that the upholding Of At
torney General Knights motion on
this technical trick by the Alabama
Supreme Court was so patiently
fraudulent that it has been COM
PEELED to back down.
Moreover, they know that the de-
Tense has succeeded in defeating ell
these vile maneuvers of the Ala
bama lynch officials, and have
forced stay Of execution. For in

Courier whose editorial states thet

more important, it taught the steel
workers that they could organize
and bring this great industry to

Trusts supposedly invincible de-

other known device for terrorizing
and deluding the workers. Comp
ers' charge that I was responsible
for this epochal strike take as a
great, if altogether unintended,
compliment"
GO MUCH for the history Of the
y 1919 strike. The need was no
less great for going through with
strike action in 1894 in spite Of the
strike breaking tactics Of Tighe,
Green and Roosevelt. Nothing but
Generalization, DISCRIMINATION and
defeat can come from following
their policy. A militant strike at
this time, paralyzing the whole in
dustry would have brought the steel
barons to their knees for, with the
great wave of rehabilitation now
among the workers generally and
the splendid fighting spirit Of the
steel workers, strike now would
have been carried through with far
better chances Of winning than in
1919.
The betrayal of the Committee Of
Ten. jointly with the Tighe-Green
clique, has done great damage. But
the wo. kers, with their splendid
fighting spirit, will not be completely
demoralized if the militants among
them will hold them together and
give them a new perspective Of
struggle. Events of the next period
will expose the hollowness Of the
sell-out arrangements, and great
Strike will become clearly necessary.
We must prepare for that strike.
The workers must take full charge
of the A. A. from top to bottom,
thrusting aside the Tighe and Com
mittee Of Ten misleade-s. The
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union must redouble its efforts to
organize the unorganized. Then,
with the A. A. and the S. g. M w.
l. U. going jointly together with
united front movement and the
whole under real fighting leader
ship, the steel workers can and will
carry through great strike that
will dwarf 1919 and result in t-e-
mendous victory.

Another difference in American

The usual method of using an
English phone is to lift the re-

thing which requires an hour or
so. I've found that two sets OF
