MILITANT LABOUR
AN AMERICAN THREAT “WILL SLUG IT OUT” (Rec. 11 p.m.) NEW YORK, Dec. 20. Mr Michael Quill, president of the C. 1.0. Transport Workers’ Union, addressing a rally supporting the General Motors Strike, called the walk-out only the first round in the struggle. “We want to tell the American people and powers that we will not have a repetition of labour-breaking which followed the last war. If we cannot get out rights in a legislative, way we will slug it out in the streets and factories before we return to starvation wages, and Ku-Klux-Klan race riots.”
