JobIess Pledge Unity With
Coming strike in Steel

CINCINNATI, Ohio.-Unemployed
workers of Southern Ohio and
Northern Kentucky, many of whom
have just recently concluded a sue
cessful relief strike, have declared
their full support of the coming
steel strike, pledging ito join the
steel workers on the picket lines,
not to scab, and to keep the strike
breakers out of the mills"
These resolutions were adopted by
the jobless workers of Covington,
KY, which adjoins the city of New
port, where the Newport Rolling
Mills and the Andrews Steel Mill
are located, and by the jobless in
Middletown, Ohio, the center of the
American Rolling Mills, at meetings
addressed by I. Amter, national sec
rotary of the Unemployment Coun-
ellis.
The resolutions will be printed
and distributed among the steel
workers in this territory in the
name of the Unemployment Coun-
ellis.
The workers of. Middletown report
that there is talk among the paper
workers and the F.ER.A. workers
to go out on strike on June IS
simultaneously with the steel work
ers. Should this develop, it would
mean a general strike in the city
of Middletown.

Republic Steel Workers
Protest Company Primary
Workers Boycott Company Union Elections;
Strike Sentiment Rising in Big Steel
Centers Near Gary
By del

dustrial Union is continuing the
fight for unity Of all steel workers,
as the bosses and their press, both
in Chicago and the smaller steel
towns, are making q desperate last
minute effort to keep the steel men
from striking.
Company union elections this
week throughout the steel belt
showed a rising resentment against
company unions. While in some
plants the vote was very large, due
to terrorism by the bosses on a
scale unequalled before, in other
mills most of the workers refused
to vote.
Only 10 per cent of the workers
in the sheet mill of Inland Steel in
Indiana Harbor took part in the
election.
In many cases where votes were
cast, workers expressed their dis
gust with the proceedings by voting
for Dillinger or Mae West.
In two shops where boycott of
the election was impossible candi-
dates endorsed by the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union
were nominated for the final cleo
ton Friday.
Use Terrorism In Vote
An example of the terrorism used
to force workers to vote was the
case of E. w. Anderson, president
Of the New Deal Lodge of the A. A.
He was visited five times by COM
pany men demanding that he vote.
Since the united front conference
of June many A. A. members have
been visited by Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union mem
bers and have expressed their sup
port of the militant unions pro-
gram of united action. This work
of contracting A. F. of L. members
is going forward constantly.
Steel Trust forces are being or
ganized rapidly, and every move
against the workers Is broadcast
and exaggerated by the local capt.
talist press. Long stories of big
police mobilization were carried in
the press along with articles about
importation of scabs, preparing of
housing inside the plant for strike
breakers, and so on.

public Steel Plant remains very

alreaQy nave mlnLanC feSOlu-
tions for the preparation of
the anti-fascist sportsmen's
rally in Paris. The situation
is extremely favorable for a
success Of this action. There is a
great anti-fascist wave in the ranks
Of the workers, and this wave will
seize the masses of sportsmen too.
But here there is no leadership of
the revolutionary workers sp9rtsmen
we do not find positive forms of
fight.
Very often whole groups of work
ing sportsmen retreat passively from
the bourgeois sports front, as if
there we're no means for an active
fight against the fascist reaction
and its accompices. That is the
point where we have to begin the
daily mass work of all class-con-
scious workers sportsmen; propa-
gandize, convince and organize.
THE international rally of sports
men against war and fascism in
Paris Aug. Ills, is an action, for
which-if we want successful the
strength and the fighting will of
all revolutionary workers sportsmen
must be put forth.
The success of the Paris Rally is
absolutely dependent on the extent
and the character of the prepare
tory work in every country. The
campaign for Paris should not be
an action separated from the daily
zsvork of our organizations. It must
be taken into the concrete program
OF work Of every national organiza-
ton: In this way we can pay regard
to the specific conditions and the
special situation in the different
countries, and by observing the in
ternationally appointed dates we
keep also the united international
character of the campaign. Because
our campaign will be world cam
pa1gn, 1t is necessary, to carry
through our work from the point
Of view of an international COM

speed of our work. The concrete
tasks of all workers sports feder-
atoms for the action in Paris will
be the following;
We must at once popularize the
slogans and the programme of the
anti-fascist rally of sportslnen. We
must carry them into the broadest
ranks Of the sporting workers in
town and country. This mass prop
uganda must result In q broad
movement of the working sportsmen
against the fascination and militar-

Vote to Continue
Phila. Auto Strike
Will Hold Out Until the
Closed Shop Is Won

PHILADELPHIA.-By a vote of
106 to 10, the striking workers of
eleven commercial auto body shops
voted at a meeting Wednesday af-
ternoon to continue their struggle
until the closed shop Is granted.
The strike has been on seven weeks
and is led by Local 2, Auto Workers
Union, affiliated with the Trade
Union Unity League.
The companies have practically
agreed to the workers other de-
mands, including 10 cents an hour
minimum wage, 4o-hour week,
time and half for overtime and
union recognition. The workers
have learned from past experience
however, that unless they have a
closed shop, the bosses are sure to
white down their gains and to pit
one worker against another
The meeting was addressed by A
B. Magil, editor of the Auto Work
ers News, who spoke as the national
representative of the Auto Workers
Union and brought greetings from
the automobile workers of Detroit
A report on the strike situation was
given by Ed Hoffman, organizer OF
the union.
The strike is receiving the support
of many workers organizations in
Philadelphia. A strike fund of over
$500 has been contributed and adj
ditional funds will be raised through
city-wide tag days Saturday and
Sunday.
