playment and slack conditions in in
dustry probably wjll delay the sched
uled campaign for the organization
of the steel Industry, according to
William Hannon of the International
Machinists' union.
Hannon is secretary of the special
committee appointed est January by
the American Federation of Labor to
Ttorganize steel workers.
With the steel mills working only
to about 40 per cent, of capacity, and
with unemployment general through
out the country, the present Is not a
good time to press new organization
work," Hannon said. ,
,, ' "However, there are some mem
bers of the council who believe we
, should proceed at once with at least
a campaign of education among ctool
workers. Just the program to be
followed will be determined at the
meeting of the executive council
'April 15.
"The educational campaign is made
' more desirable from the fact that
. certain radical groups, like the I. W.
W., make their greatest headway dur
ing the periods of unemployment.
' Theirappeal Is to the" discontented and
4 the Jobless, and in certain sections
they are busy in organization work
