New Date Set
For Aluminium
Plant Strike
A. F. L. Leaders Take
All Control From
Rank and File
BY TOM KEENAN,
tspecisI to dc Daily worker

NEW KENSINGTON, Pa, July
30-Depriving the rank and file Of
even second hand opportunity to
look out for their interests, A, F. of
L. leaders are moving forward
toward sellout of the aluminium
workers decision to strike and the
splitting up of the industrial union
into craft groups.
Bill Green's henchmen, Boris
Shishkin and Dave Williams have
assumed the reins in negotiations
completely following their first sue
cessful maneuver in postponing the
walkout set for July 25 until Aug. 3.
The delay in action was en-
gineered so as to allow the company
(Andrew Melons Alurinum Com
pany of America) plenty of time to
complete shipments on all seasonal
orders.
The lack of any preparations for
a walkout, picketing, the establish
ment of strike committees, ETC., is
also attributable to the A. F. of L.
betrayers, who will point to this as
a reason for not striking when the
time for action arrives.
Union members state that no re-
port has as yet been made by the
National Council to the rank and
file concerning progress of negotia-
tons.
Though a wage increase is the
central demand of the workers, this
has been kept secret in all public
statements by the A. F. of L. men,
and only the demands for recogni-
ton pushed forward each time.
Present indications point to a
complete betrayal unless the rank
and file acts quickly to take con-
troll.

Walk Out After
Being Docked

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. July 80. -
Exploited and doubly oppressed coal

back pay. The Nyota and Navoo
mines are on strike for the third
time this year for their demands

strike.
Bill Mitch, president of District
20 United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, engineered the sell-out of these
miners along with $4,000 others be-
trayed, but was forced because of
the militancy of these miners to
secure for them an agreement with
coal operators that was better than
the average throughout the Ala
bama coal fields.
For a long period these miners
were out of work and the coal oper-
ators continued to charge the I'M
employed coal miners house rent
and hospital fees, and when the
miners started to work again they
were docked for these black debts"
The miners struck. At the settle
ment the coal operators were forced
to cancel these debts. But when
the miners went back into the
mines the coal operators began to
dock them again, despite the agree
ment.
Now these miners are on strike
solidly against the lying. betraying
tactics Of Bill Mitch and the coal
operators.
Steps are being taken to organize
the rank and file movement among
the miners by the Rank and File
A. F. Of L. Committee here.
Here are the miners demands put
forward by the Rank and File Com
