any and all activities of the work
ers. She carries the line that q
strike in the steel industry, even a
general strike, cannot be successful
What we have to have is a general
strike Of all the workers, and by
raising the slogan of the general
strike in this light, this radical
agent Of the bosses and the Anal
gamated Association burocrats is at
tempting to prevent the growing de-
veloping struggle among the steel
workers, and therefore attempts to
prevent the development of gen
eral strike. 1t is unfortunate, we
can add here, that even some more
or less class conscious workers have
been misled by this talk.
1t is also important to note that
the services of Miss Loewe have
been given to A. A. burocrats by
the Chicago Federation of Labor
Fitzpatrick, who played some role
in betraying the strike of 1919, is
not to be seen. He cannot go over
big among the workers. But Car
oline Loewe is appropriate for this
purpose. The workers must not be
fooled by her radical talk. She
must be exposed and driven out.
She has nothing in common with
the steel workers. She is serving
the only interests she knows, and
that is the interests of the buro-
crazy of the A. F. Of L. which serves
the interests Of the bosses.
The task confronting the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union
is to even more energetically carry
on an organizational drive to
strengthen itself and establish it
self in every department and every
mill. To unite with the rank and
file members of the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers and everywhere present de-
mands and develop struggles for en-
forcement of these demands. This is
the only guarantee and it is the only
way to reject the sell-out that has
been already concluded.
The development of the opposition
movement inside of the A. A., to-
gether with the building of the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union in each department and mill
represents the most burning issue
confronting the steel workers. Aux
iliary forms in support of the strug
gle of the steel workers must be de-
veloped. Mass women's auxiliaries
to the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union must be built around
every local of the S. M. w. I. q
A special approach to developing
work among the Negro and
young workers, winning them over
to the union and to united front
activities.
The small victories obtained al
ready must stimulate this work and
above all must point out to the
fact that machine guns, thugs and
gunner cannot operate the mills
that there is a resentment against
thugs around the mills and workers
are openly proclaiming that they
will not work in the mills guarded
by armed thugs, that they are not
In jailS. Everywhere the mass de-
mand is to be raised to GUST the
guards, to withdraw them from the
gates of the steel mills.
To achieve these aims it is neces-
sary in a most patient manner To
explain all the events that are tax
ing place in the steel industry, ex-
posing the role Of the A. A. Off
cialdom to every worker through
leaflets, the Daily Worker and per-
sonal discussions with workers
These are the tasks confronting the
s, M, W. I. U. in the Calumet Steel
Region. The union began to prove
that 1t can fulfill these tasks. All
power to the Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union!
