Dallet's speech, the motion that the
A. A, District Conference elect a
committee to meet with a commit

the strike struggle in the industry

defeated after long debate. An

The Fight for the United Front of the Steel Workers

Ohio District District Six.
At the last conference of the A.
A. in Canton a decision was made
to invite all local unions in the steel
and metal industry, including the
locals of the S. NJ, w. I. U. The re-
Spouse to the invitation was salts
factory. Practically all of the locals
attended.
THE work of the conference-which
L reflected the forces working for
and against unity very clearly
started off we'll enough with reports
on the work of the A. A. lodges.
However, during the reports some
discussion arose about united action.
Immediately the question was
raised whether nop-A. A. members
had the right to be in the confer
ence. In order not to create any
unnecessary friction and to demon
strate again our sincere desire for
unity, the delegates of the Steel and
Metal Workers Union present de-
cided to submit short statement.

the conference. During the discus

to stay; some were made against US

that, due to the custom Of the A. A.

and strikers under which no trucks
were moved and mass picketing dis
continued. This truce continued
until settlement was reached"
(My emphasize. d..
We have seen what the settle
ment was-Wages to remain as at
present for one year and compul-
sorry arbitration.
As soon as Governor Olson en-
tered the situation, backed by two
infantry regiments and one of ar
t1llery, the shameful retreat of the
leaders began. Having signed the
truce jointly with the officials of
the Central Labor Council and thus
made united front with Olson's
henchmen, the Trotskyite leaders
committed themselves to the nego-
tiations while some of their own
striking followers were being called
to the armories as members of the
National Guard. The calling of the
troops put Governor Olson at the
mercy of the organized labor move
ment. Under no circumstances could
he have defended this action by
himself.

Z which the WhlteWash for Olson was
mixed. This is what 1t was:
Governor Olson has got TO make
a showing or Roosevelt will send in
federal troops from Fort Smelling. !"
This stool-pigeon formula was
circulated widely among the strik-
erS.
The next little job was to Iioui-
date the general strike sentiment.
Once more Cannon and the local
Dunno dynasty furnished the re-
quired explanation. eve wish read
ers would scrutinize this counter
revolutionary contribution carefully
because we will encounter it again
and again in the United States as
the present mass struggles develop.
Here it is-mouthed over and over
again by these leaders to get all its
delicious flavor and then expector-
ated into the clean arena of the
class struggle where so far the main
slogan had been general strike"
we can't have a general strike
because there is no revolutionary
situation"
That general strikes produce rev.
olutionary situations was not limited.
An extension of this latter slogan
was formulated as;
'SYou can't fight bayonets with
empty bellies"
The defeatist character of this
combination of slogans and rumors
circulated by the Trotskyite leaders
and the Central Labor Council off,
Gals is obvious. They were designed
to halt the growing mass movement
and they accomplished their pur-
pose.
A Call 10 Surrender
Even the propaganda for a gen.
erai strike circulated by the rene
gade-dominated Drivers Union was
definitely limited. We quote from
their leaf1et entitled Cancellation,
But NO Surrender, offered by Strik-
ers to End Strike and Disorder"
I'VE call on every employed
worker in Minneapolis not under
contract to lay down his tools.
To declare holiday" my en-
phasis-B. d..
For sheer anti-working class or
iginality in devising ways and
means of forming a united front
with the treacherous bureaucrats
Of the labor movement this slogan
is in a class by itself. Worship of
the "sanctity of the labor contract"
the traditional shibboleth of the
most treacherous official labor lead
ers in their efforts to keep workers
ranks divided-has never been car
ried out with such reverence even
by Tobin himself-the head of the
A. F. Of l.. union to which Drivers
Union STA is affiliated.
There was fourth slogan. With
out the real defeatist character Of
the settlement being explained to
the strikers-and, of course, not to
the rest of the organized workers
by the leaders-the lying statement
was widely circulated that: I'VE
have won 80 per cent of our de-
mands."
By these propaganda methods
the general strike situation was
liquidated, Governor Olson's face
was saved-the drivers strike de-
feated and compulsory arbitration
fastened upon them. Arrested work.

on the extent to which the political
tasks of the entire Party are placed
concretely before the membership
in the light Of their work in the
shop and trade union. 1t must be
illustrated by the concrete expert
ences of the comrades themselves.
The discussion must be closely in
terWoven with the control tasks and
the plan of work of the district and
section. This will show to the COM
rades the relationship of their own
shop and trade union work with the
main political line of the Party.
This work must be organized under
the direction of the leading and
most experienced comrades.
Secondly, we must establish study
groups in each unit, or on a section
and city scale, for number of
units to study our convention res
olutions and decisions. For this
study We can utilize the already
published material of our conven-
ton, the 18th Plenum and the 18th
Party Congress. Tt would also be
advisable for the next three or four
week-ends to organize special func-
tionaries' classes on a section or
city scale to do the same.
Tasks of Party Press
Thirdly, the editorial stats of all
our Party press must be made con-
scious of the role they have to play
as interpreters of the Party con-
vention decisions and their applica-
ton. The various phases of the
sharpening class battles now TAX
ing place in the country, which re-
fleet themselves in the columns of
our Party press, must be used to
illustrate and explain the Party
convention, its decisions and res
olutions.
FoWthly, most of the material
of the Eighth Convention, the
Thirteenth Plenum Of the Comm
tern, and the Seventeenth Congress
of the CPS.U., is already made
available in pamphlet form. To date
the sale of this printed material
does not indicate that the district
and section organizations are max
ing real efforts to place this ma
terial in the hands of the Party
membership. This must be corrected
at once. The Party membership
must be explained and assisted to
buy these publications.
Filthy, the leading Party organ
izers, agitators and propagandists,
must write for the Party press their
experiences in the numerous strug-
giles since the convention, showing
to what extent and with what re-
suits, the convention decisions were
applied and what improvements in
our Party work have occurred since
then.
We believe that the immediate
and serious application of these
proposals will help our Party mem
bership to understand the conven~
ton resolutions and decisions and
speed up their execution.
