TRIBUTES T0 JOE DALLET 

BY WILLIAM  Z. FOSTER 
Chairman, Communist Party, U.S.A. 

IT CAME as a great shock to me to learn that Comrade 
Joe Dallet had been killed in action in Spain. He was a 
real fighter and his death is a deep loss to the revolutionary 
movement and a personal grief to his host of friends. 

Joe was one of those courageous militants who built the 
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union (Trade Union 
Unity League) in the face of steel trust gunmen and slug-
gers. He was a trail-blazer for the big C.I.O. campaign 
that has at last brought the steel workers into the folds of 
organized labor. 

In the class struggle in this country, Joe was always on 
the front line, and it was quite in accord with his militant 
revolutionary spirit that he should go to Spain to help 
beat back the hordes of a barbarous fascism. Such a brave 
and loyal fighter is a credit to the Communist Party, of 
which he was long a member. It is revolutionary fighters 
like Dallet who will write the epitaph of capitalism.

EVERYONE who knew Joe Dallet will feel a keen personal 
loss in the news of his death during the  latest offensive 
of the Spanish people's army.

He was a fitting representative of those 3,000 fine young
