"Aero Strikers, Stand Solid!"


BUFFALO, N. Y The open
strike breaking character of the N.
RIA. Labor Boards Is becoming more
evident to the mass of aero strikers
here every day.
Strikers point to the Labor Board
decision that all strikers who may
want to can go back to work by
June 1, and will not be considered
strike breakers by the government
or employers, as one of the main
reasons for the return to work of
a few hundred strikers in both
plants.
There can be no doubt that this
decision, arrived at by the employ
ers and the National Labor Board
without union representatives pres
end, had an influence on weak sis
tiers who wanted to go back to work
and still "be in right with every
body"
However, it must be pointed out
that had certain definite steps been
taken in sufficient time, the ranks
Of the strikers could have been soil
dtf1ed and united to a greater ex-
tent, sufficient to withstand the
strike breaking decision of the La
Dor Board.
On Friday night, the membership
meeting of the aero local meeting
could not arrive at any definite
conclusion, although determined
sentiment to continue the fight was
evident throughout. This meeting
was adjourned until Sunday, when
1t was announced by one of the
strike leaders that he had been in
touch with certain influential in
dividual who did not want his iden-
tity revealed, but who wanted to
help the strikers"
Aircraft strikers are warned that
influential individuals" who do not
want to get publicity are to be sus-
pected, and to watch out for any
such person, politician or otherwise
Sunday afternoon, preceding the
membership meeting of the union,
Support the-Strike" Conference
took place at Orioles Hall More
than 100 duly elected delegates, rep
resenting so organizations. as well
as large number of visitors and
fraternal delegates, we're present.
In businesslike fashion, the con-
ference proceeded to outline the
methods necessary to rally effective
financial and moral support for the
strikers. Manning Johnson, district
organizer of the Communist Party
elected as a delegate from the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights
pointed out the steps necessary to
rally mass support and re-establish
the picket line. He dealt with the
Labor Board dealings, pointing out
their anti-working class character.
The conference recommended to
the aero strikers that they continue
their strike, assuring them the ut
most support of the Buffalo work
ers, taxpayers and others. The con-
ference, in making this recommen-
dalton, considered carefully the
forces at play, after which the dele
gates voted on the question. A pro-
posal to vote for sympathy strikes
was greeted with wave of ap-
plause.
Among the important proposals
for rallying the widest mass support
and solidarity there are the distribu-
ton of 10000 handbills on the
strike to Buffalo workers, the USE
Of q plane to help in distribution
mass meetings in different parts Of
the city, demonstration at Mckinley
Square, numerous delegations to city
ofdclals, and others. Many pledge;

delegate, it was decided to call the
permanent conference the Cham

workers for support of workers
struggles, as opposed to the Cham
