by driving the standard of living

to protect themselves against these
attacks. The aeronautic workers,
pilots, mechanics, engineers and all
other aeronautic workers must unite
in order to secure for themselves
the right to earn a decent living
and to protect their Jobs.
We call upon all pilots, mechanics,

to organize and unite in action

only power lies in organization.
The prestige and influence of q

wages and profits? If we look at
prices first we find that for the first
quarter Of this year the average price
per pound of steel was 2.31 cents,
according to the American Metal
Markets composite price index. This
was the highest price point reached
since the second quarter of 1890
when it was 2.36 cents. With the

price will reach about ESQ cents; in

be at about the pre-crisis level
Coming price increases will bring

unit Of steel produced will be higher
than they have ever been and the
profits of steel companies will rise.
As for wages, we find that dur

duced were about s11, or probably
the lowest ever reached except
during the second and third quar-
tiers of 1888.

The course you took is the only one
that can force the employers TO
grant you decent living wages. You

up and various schemes to lower
your standard.
The Communist Party greets YOU
glove workers for your united stand
Of all crafts. For the first time In
the history Of Fulton County, all
branches Of the glove industry have
united in one strike.
TN this strike you should learn
from the experience of the leather
workers, who, through their militant
strike and united ranks we're able to
defeat all efforts to smash the strike
and thereby improved their condi-
tons.
In the Forefront
1.-THE Communist Party the only
party of the working class, has par
ticipated in the forefront of most Of
the strike struggles Of the workers.
THE best guarantee for victory
in your strike is active participation
of all the strikers in the conduct
and leadership of the strike. This
means the establishment of rank
and file strike committee repre-
sentative Of every shop, mass pick
citing TO keep the shops closed 100
per cent and to extend the strike to
all shops still working. Negotiations
should be conducted by committees
with a majority of workers elected
by the strikers. NO settlement
should be allowed unless discussed
and voted on by all strikers of all
crafts-no craft settlement to be al
lowed unless all agree to return to-
gether.
1T is possible that the n R. A.
administrator will try to have you
return to work while negotiations
are on, as they have done in hun
dreds of other strikes and In this
way defeat your strike and your de-
