Union Another Yoke.
But we not only protest against the
continuation of the foreign yoke, we
also protest against the clergy and
our bourgeoisie who are clamouring
in favor of the union of Cyprus with
Greece. This bourgeoisie minority
consisting of money lenders and big
merchants in close cooperation is
struggling hard for the union as 1t
foresees under the bourgeoisie yoke
an easier way to the attainment Of
their exploiting plans against the
poor villagers and farmers Of the
island.
We strongly protest against the
trumpeted national aspirations of the
Cypriots, and declare that the Cy-
prian proletarians, and the masses of
the Cyprian farmers are against the
national dreams of the bourgeoisie for
they know very well that under union
with Greece, a new yoke is awaiting

The Communist Party of Cyprus,
being the only sincere defender of

of this miserable island, is obliged to
address itself to you in order that
it should protest on the one hand
against the cruel and unsuitable dis
position of the English empire to con-

and on the other against the lies of
the bourgeois press, which has been
always accustomed to blur the white
ness of truth in seeking to interpret
the real aspirations of the enslaved
peoples.
lmperialistic England, which has
been always cautious in Withholding
from the peoples she enslaved, her
real plans of exploitation by means of
a sugar-coated deeply poisonous ces-
sion of pseudo-liberties, has done the
same in Cyprus by playing the same
old game; for she threw in 1878, or
somewhat later dust into the eyes of
an ignorant people, upon a sick and
numbed country. The famous legisla-

less than puppet and dwarf in the

LABOR PROTESTS
EXCLUSION OF
HINDU RADICAL
Chicago Labor Body In
Uited TO Attend

The Chicago Federation of Labor
has been asked to cooperate with the
Workers (communist) Party and
other workers. and liberal oraaniza-
tions in the mass protest meeting
against the barring of Shapurji SAX
latvaa from the United States by
Secretary Of State Kellogg on Mon
day, Sept. 20, at Northwest Hall,
North and Western AYES. A letter
asking support and requesting a
speaker from the Chicago Federation
Of Labor was addressed to John Fitz-
patrick, president Of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, by Martin Abern,
district organizer Of the Workers
(communist) Party.
In addition to the Federation Of La
Dor, invitations have also been ex-
tended to the University of Chicago
Liberal Club, the local Kuomintang
organization, representing the Chinese
Independent national movement, the
Hindu Club, and other bodies. It is
expected that speakers will appear
from THESE OIBdHlAdtluuS.
The exclusion Of Saklatvala from
America, because he is a Communist,
and especially because Of his open,
strong attacks against British i'm
perialism and his defense of the OPP
pressed colonial peoples of India,
China, Africa and elsewhere, is
arousing widespread protest thruout
the ranks of labor and among the
liberal elements, and also among con-
servatives who regard the action OF
Kellogg and Coolidge as stupid po-
litical judgment, which only brings
forth more strongly the views which
Saklatvala holds. Senator Borah is
amc1g the leading figures protesting
at this further violation Of so-called
American traditions of free speech
and liberty of action.
At the protest meeting Monday,
Sept. rs, William F. Dunno, editor of
the DAILY WORKER, Manuel Gomez,
secretary Of the All-America Anti-Im-
perialist League, are among the speak
ers thus far listed. Many other prom
inent speakers will be on hand.
Admission to the protest meeting at
Northwest Hall, North and Western
AYES, is free and a large crowd is ex-
pected to turn out to listen to the
fashion in which the American and
British governments operate and CO.
operate in order that the thought and
! organization of the awakening work
ing masses may be curbed.

More Good News for Worker

A S announced in yesterdays Is
"A sue Of the DAILY WORKER,
the standard of worker correspond
ence sent In for the special Inter
national Press Day issue, and the
amount Of stories sent, made the
task Of choosing winners most diff
cult, and also made it impossible
to print all the stories.
However, in view of the good
work done, il has been decided to
award three additional prizes to
worker correspondent whose stor-
les arrived for that issue.
OF these prizes, the frst-a copy
of RUSSIA ToDAY-is awarded to
Irwin, a Pittsburgh worker CORE
spondent for his story in Tuesdays
issue: "Fakers' Fight on Reds
Only Aids Employers" The sec
ond prize, a copy Of Maudeleine

SIA," is given to John Perrides of
Chicago for his story also in Tues
days issue, on conditions among
Greek restaurant workers. Third
prize--a copy Of Trotsky's MY
FLIGHT FROM SIBERIA was
won by Regina Myroski, with
story Of the West Virginia coal
strike, In Mondays issue.
All three stories were Of real
merit. They were from the job and
the field of struggle against both
the bosses and reaetlonary trade

The success of the contest has
been so satisfactory, the interest
so marked, that more contests will
be held in the near future. In the
meantime, as often as possible, spe-

this endeavor the Communist press
must be the mouthpiece of the party.
The party, as party OF revolution

of its press to philosophize In it's

they can look for guidance and adj

Guiding news items, is designed TO
strengthen confidence in the capital
list system. Under the guise Of pure

disseminated in millions of capitalist

paper every item. including news

tagonism and hatred against capital
ism. II must be designed to produce
a feeling Of solidarity in the worker

not be achieved by doing violence to

beneficial to the operators and for the
present they are not so very much
interested in its settlement Now they
have an opportunity of heaping on the
market millions of tons of storage

wise would be unmarketable. At the
beginning of the strike it was esti.
mated there was 10000, 900 tons re-
serve of which only 100000 was of a
marketable domestic grade. The stor-
age yards of the anthracite field have
depleted very much of late, and in

All part timers are paid 34c for each

afternoons while some work all day
while some even put in entire days on
this basis. They can be laid off for

Discriminate Against Women
The regulars are almost as bad off
as the part timers. They have to make
outputs and put in nine hours of
toll per day for the same salary that
they had been getting for years. The
maximum salary paid is nineteen or
twenty to those who have worked
more than five years. Then if the
, worker wants further increase he is
fred. The ingenuity of the depart
ment head is constantly being exert
ed to put off raises month after
month. The girls are even more
poorly paid than the boys. Their max
imum is sixteen dollars per week or
seventeen to veterans.
PenaIized for Errors"
Then there is a system of error
markings whereby all possible errors
are listed and checked off by auditors
against the work of the employees
whenever they come around to audit
it. Each error means bawling out
from the department head and the
error slip is forwarded with your out
put record to general headquarters.
There if they decide that the National
is not making more than 100 per cent
profit on you, out you go.
The department heads are men who
have purchased stock andare drawing

muting from the suburbs to come in

are drawn from the ranks the soft
jobs go to those with pull. There is
no advancement at all without that
