A trem endous ovation
greeted the recommendation
of the Aeronautical Workers
Union Executive Committee
to reject tie Labor Board proposals
at the meeting of the union last
Friday night. Immediately upon
hearing the report of the executive,
a striker made q motion that the
body as a whole unanimously vote

LeaHet of Marine Workers
Prior to the meeting, the Marine
Workers Industrial Union distri-
buted leaf1et warning against La
5or Board arbitration and urging
he strikers to stand firm for direct
negotiations with the employers.
The leahet read in part:
Fellow Workers:
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union is vitality interested in see
ing you win your strike. We know
that victory for you will
strengthen the struggles of the
seamen and harbor workers.
We speak to you with the ex-
perience of IS marine strikes in
recent months led by our union
in this country. OF these IS strikes,
NONE WERE LOST. In none Of
these strike settlements was there
any such thing as Impartial Bird
party. All of them were settled by
direct negotiations with the ship
owners. We have found from ex-
perience that sO-caIled impartial
Boards" like the Labor Board,
etc, accidentally or purposeIy"
line up with the employers and
AGAINST the strikers.
Aircraft workers! You have
struck at time when production
was high. Conditions are in your
favor. Thousands of workers are
with you! To call off your strike
now would be suicide.
Your best guarantee to win is
10 continue mass picketing. Rally
more mass support! Stand firm
for open direct negotiation OF
your elected committee with the
employers.
We are behind you 100 per cent
and pledge our continued sup
port. Do not let them put another
one over on you as they did with
the aircraft code.
Stand firm and undivided and
victory is yours! Beware Of "im-
partial" third parties like labor
boards! Unity and struggle will
win every battle of the workers!
This leaflet was received with
great enthusiasm.
Communist Support Welcomed
The Buffalo Trend" so-called
Liberal weekly, declares that a
shadow has existed over the Air
craft Workers Union, because it has
admitted Communists to its ranks, y
showing that once more that when
you scratch Liberal you find a
reactionary."
What are the feelings of the
strikers about the Communists? Let
hem speak for themselves:
One striker stated: LAS soon as
workers go on strike, they are Com
munists. whether they know it or
not. Believe me, the elections this
year will show far different results
than previous years."
Scores of strikers, when reminded
oy weak sisters and the police that
Reds are in this strike" reply.
Sure they are; and what of it?
Where are the Republicans and the
Democrats? Look at those deputies.
Last year they were getting us to
vote Democrat, now they club US
on the line; a lot of them are Dem
0crat and Republican committee
men, too The Communists are OK.
They're for the workers, and work
srs themselves! They support the
policy Of fighting united front of
Ill workers against the employers .
Great Majority Solid
The ranks of the strikers remain
undivided, despite increased attacks
on the picket lines, despite company
efforts to organize a group to walk
back in. The strikers are proceed
ing TO rally mass support for the
demand to force the removal of the
deputy who began the attack on a
woman picket, mother of eleven
children and wife of striker, who
was knocked into insensibility.
The Buffalo Local of the Aero
Union has been active in organizing
aircraft workers throughout the
country, having sent field organizers
10 such distant places as Seattle,
Wash, many months ago. The air.
craft industry looks to Buffalo,
and successful strike here will
strengthen the struggles and organ
iSation of aircraft workers through
out the country.
The Communist Party and Young
Communist League continue their
active work in the strike and
series of open air meetings to rally
increased support have been ar
-anged.
