Guarantees Against Frameup of NRA Elections
Should Be Demanded By the Steel Workers

The National Steel Labor Rela-
tons Board, after six months of de-
lay, has ordered elections be held in
the Carneise Company plants Of
the United States Steel Corpora
ton. These elections were ordered
because Of the fear by the employers
and the Roosevelt government of
the growing strike sentiment among
the steel workers and the growth of
the rank and file in the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron. Steel and
Tin Workers.
The Steel Board and the employ
ers and William Green as we'll want
to distract the attention Of the
workers from preparation of strike,
and want to maintain their illusions
in the Steel Board.
The main weapon of the steel
workers in winning better conditions
is the preparation of strike, led by
the rank and file of the A. A. and
the building of the union. The Steel
Board did not fulfill any of its
promises to the workers since its
existence, and instead acted as the
board of the employers, encouraging
the company union, union smashing,
speed-up and low wages.
The rank and file of the Amalga-
mated Association decided correct
ly in its recent Pittsburgh confer
ence that nothing can be gained
from the Steel Board. The rank
and file in the A. A. must now
present demands to the Roosevelt
government that these elections be
conducted in such way that the
real steel union, the A. A., shall not
have the cards stacked against it.
The steel workers know that the
elections in Weirton, in the Houde
case, in the Cadillac auto plant
were either framed up to favor the
company union in advance, or ig-
nored by the employers-as in the
Houde case-after the real union of
the workers won the elections.
What should the rank and file in
the A. A. demand in order to guar
antee that the Steel Beard. the en-
ployers. and William Green will not
trick them with frame-up or mean
ingless elections.
The demands should be.

The Mayor Agrees
The Mayor was q trifle more wary
in his remarks but left the clear
impression that he was fundamen-
tally in agreement with the other
speakers.
Il know he said, chat Judge
Panken will have a successful career
in the Domestic Relations Court be-
cause we all know his understand
ing Of the economic conditions con-
fronting the larger number of fam
lilies brought tito this court. In
times Of economic distress, people
become irritable"
Emphasizing the political impli-
cations of the ceremony, the Mayor
said:
THE thing we are doing today
Will make such profound i'm
preston on the community that
this work will be carried on
Mention was made in a. number
of the speeches to Panken's pre-
vious work on the bench. No one
said anything. however. of the evic-
ton notices signed by Panken dur
ing that term.
Judge Panken addressed himself
to Mayor LaGuardia in his speech.
Stating that he did not know
whether to cal him "Mayor" Ia-
Guardia or Brother" LaGuardia
Panken thanked the latter and
pledged that he would work with
humane approach, with sympathy
and understanding.
His work would be "rahibilita-
ton the Judge said "A city with
one-f1fth Of its people on relief
must have its thousands. of fami-
lies broken up with hatreds."
Will Be a Socialist
Panken saw no contradiction be-
tween accepting an appointment
from Mayor LsGuardia and his So
clalist IDEALS, he indicated.
Finally, come to this bench
as a Socialist. shall apply that
philosophy of life which has
caused me to accept the prin-
oiples which have guided my life"
He would seek the causes to

Party That it is in utter con-
trsdiction with the sentiment

dicated by the fact that Panken's
own branch, the Greenwich Village
branch of the S.P., two weeks acc
unanimously condemned his ac-
ceptence of the LaGuardia appoint
ment.
Among people close to local poll
tics it is well-known that Panken's
appointment came after lone
series Of strike breaking work done
for the administration by Panken
In particular, Psnken's work in dis
rupting the ranks of the taxi Strik-
ers last Winter and sending then
back to work without any gains is
considered the main reason for his
appointment to the bench.
Similar appointments will follow

true, it is held, in view of the fact

elected, thus weakening the Fusion
majority in the Board of Estimate

Guardia to prepare new alliances

THIRD, on the question of relief Congress is ex-
peced to return relief responsibility to the States
and local communities" This means the ruthless
slashing of all Federal relief expenditures by Con-
gress and Roosevelt, the driving of hundreds Of
thousands of working class families off the relief
rolls.
Against this attempt Of Congress and Roose-
welt to make the working class pay for the capital
st curse of unemployment, while the profits of
the capitalist class go untouched, the Communist
Party urges the broadcast united front struggle for
the enactment Of the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill H. R. 1898, which places the burdens
of relief and unemployment insurance on the backs
OF the capitalists.
In its tax proposals, Congress will continue the
infamous excise taxes which rob the masses of
$5ooOOOOOo every year in gasoline and other con-
sumption goods taxes.
To pay for its huge war program, Congress
will levy new heavy taxes on the masses-the
rich corporations will not be touched
1t is necessary to fight for heavy taxes on the
rich on all big incomes, on all corporation
strpluses and dividends! The Communist Party

taxes which plumber the poorest section Of the popu-
