The writer is asking for financial support from the United Steelworkers of America for the AIO Action Council, a lobbying group. She notes that she has already written to I.W. Abel (presumably asking for similar support) and that she was encouraged by a recent meeting with representatives from various international unions. The writer emphasizes the importance of the work of the Action Council and the urgency of the situation, and asks the Steelworkers to continue their generous financial support.
