Notwithstanding the comparatively
high degree of organization already
prevailing among its workers, should
have no unified national labor move
ment. 1850
To those who are familiar with the
problems confronting the Cuban
workers-the fierce opposition of gov
eminent, sugar kings, tobacco lords
and shipping magnates, and the sell
tishness and treachery Of so-called
Tabor leaders"-the reason is clear.
Nevertheless, a nationwide labor or
ganization in Cuba must and will be
formed.
Hands to the Task.
The untiring activity of the Ha-
vana Federation of Labor and the re-
Spouse which the Cuban unions have
given to the general congress Of last
December are guarantees that neither
General Crowder, nor the big bust
ness interests, nor the traitors with
in the ranks of labor itself can pre-
vent the formation of a militant Con.
federation General de TrabaJadores
in Cuba. You have been delegated
by your unions for that purpose.
Hands to the task!
Cuba is country without vast dis
tances and without those sectional
differences which have sometimes
temporarily divided the workers of
other lands. AS the editor of Justicla
points out, the technical problems of
confederation in Cuba should be rela-
lively easy of solution. Once estab-
lished, the Confederation General dc
Trabajadores will be mighty and
flexible weapon for the defense of
the workers and peasants on all parts
of the island
Cuban workers are among the most
exploited in the western hemisphere.
The big sugar and tobacco companies,
enjoying profits of hundreds OF mil
lions Of dollars each year, wrung from
the toll of the Cuban workers and
poems, pay out to their wage slaves
only mere pittance and force them
to live and work under the most
abominable conditions.
Isolated struggles of the workers,
however stubborn and courageous,
are Of little avail against these giant
combines of capital, directed from
Wall Street. There must be single
confederation of labor. with local
units thruout the island, capable Of
dealing powerful blows simultaneous
ly at number of different points.
The organization must be determined
to fight thru the class struggle to the
bitter end, until the overthrow of cap
italism and the establishment of a
new society by, for and of the work.

A Joint Funeral

\ Joint funeral services for the o. P. P. A. and the
socialist party began Saturday in the Lexington
Hotel. There was some acrimonious dissension
among the pallbearers, but the morguelike at
mosphere was evidence that the only thing in the
United States deader than the G. p. F. A. is the
socialist party and that the only thing deader than
the socialist party is the body of the Unknown Sol
der The only difference is that having been dead
longer the corpse of the Unknown Soldier does not
smell so bad
Lest anyone thinks that the above remarks are
a reflection upon rank and file worker delegates at
the conference, we hasten to say that there were
few present The conference in its initial session.
before the railway labor offcialdom adjourned the
G. p. P. A. sine die, composed of these sleek
gentlemen delegates to the national convention
of the socialist party and the most motley colec-
ton of paranoic preachers, briefess lawyers with
such generous sprinkingof miscellaneous squirrel
food that our furry friends need not fear famine
The handful of workers who were present were
deprived of a vote by the report of credentials
mittee
In none of the speeches. not even in that of Debs
was the word revolution mentioned nor was there
any basic difference in outlook between the railway
brotherhood officials and the socialists present All
wanted to cater to the middle classthe socialists
by a middleclass party, the brotherhood official
parties.
The speeches were devoid of any bitterness. The
socialists assured the railway chiefs that they had
the highest personal regard for them and the
Shepherds, Robertsons and Manions reciprocated.
Owe all travelling the same road" was a
phrase that was used over and over again.
The gathering had as much mass character as
sewing society and if any sort of new political
party comes out of it will be the personal property
of LaFolette, dependent upon his leadership for
any appeal it will make to the middecass electors
The socialist party delegates came to the con-
ference to collect following, but they have not
succeeded even in differentiating themselves from
the 81 varieties of nuts who made up the majority
of the delegates The attitude of the railway broth
erhood officialdom toward the socialists was one
of polite contempt and not that of hatred and fear
with which they regard the Communists
The socialist party is dead. Its remnants must
attach themselves to the LaFollette kite AS an
independent entity it exists today merely upon what
publicity and support it obtains by virtue of its
war on Soviet Russia and the Communist Interna-
tional and this is a suicidal method as most
of the parties of the Second International have
already learned.
The c., p. p. A. is dead.
The socialist party of America is dead.
Long live the Workers Communist Party of
America!

Cubans to Join e. Fight on imperialism

The struggle will not end with the
formation of the Confederation GEN
eraI de TrabaJadores. The Cuban
workers must become part of the
world revolutionary movement led by
the Communist International and the
Red International of Labor Unions.
Against Wall Street Imperialism.
Cuban workers do not need to be
reminded that their struggle is an
international one-and above all, a
struggle against the imperialist pow
err of Wall Street Three-fourths Of
all the capital invested in Cuba is
Wall Street capital. Strikes in the
sugar and shipping industries are
strikes against Wall Street. 1t was
Wall Street that stood back Of the
Cuban government last summer in
the brutal suppression of the strikes
in the sugar centrals. 1t was Wall
Street that sent American battle
ships to Havana harbor during the
general strike Of the harbor work
ers. Its
So long as the power of Wall Street
is left undisturbed, Cuba will be a
free country only in name and the
emancipation of the Cuban workers
from wage slavery will be only an
idle dream, Consciously or uncon-
sciously, the Confederation General
de TrabaIadores will have to fight
against Wall Street.
We Ask Your Solidarity.
The Pan-American Anti-Imperialist
League, consisting of labor unions,
peasant organizations, cU-operatives,
students groups, Communist parties,
ETC., calls upon the Cuban National
Labor Congress to join with the
workers of North, Central and South
America In a concerted struggle
against American imperialism. We
ask you to make common cause with
us against the common enemy.
More important than anything else,
however, is the immediate establish
ment of the Confederation General
de TrabaIadores in Cuba. This your
convention must not fail to do. There
have been other attempts in the past
but all were disrupted or nullified.
No more delays, comrades! No more
postponements, The best elements
of the Cuban labor movement are rep.
resented in your convention. Forward

Soviet Recognition

The Communists will take the announced inten-
ton of the Coolidge administration to open nego-
tiations with the Soviet government more calmly
than any other section Of the American people. We
have had the fullest confidence at all times that
the strength of the workers and peasants govern
ment of Russia combined with the unacceptable con-
ficts between the capitalist nations would force
recognition The socialists will intensity their Op-
position to Soviet recognition the professional
alarmists will continue to bray and the offensive
against the Communists may become more wide
spread, but Soviet Russia will be recognized.
American capitalism will try to save what it can
in the Far East after the blow dealt it by the Russo
Japanese treaty. 1t will not have much success
because here too it meets the Imperialism of Great
Britain as well as that of Japan while over all is
the constant and growing force of Communism
among the masses of Asia.

POSTAL BILL IN
HOOK ASSOL ONS
BOOST. own PAY
Give Selves Raise of
$500 a Year
tspeeIaI to The Daily workerl


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. a.
The senate voted almost unanimously
against resembling its action in voting
an increase in salary for senators from
$75OO.OO to $1O,OOOOO per year.
Senator Norris Of Nebraska moved
to reconsider the action. but was
howled down, only Senator'S Borah,
and Magnus Johnson of Minnesota
supporting him. johnson was defeat
ed in the last election and is not af-
fected by the raise.
1t is argued by Borah that the SEN
ators were inconsistent since they did
not provide means Of raising money
to pay the increase, as Coolidge in
sisted be done in the case Of the ill
paid postal employees.
The Ball bill, which was passed by
the senate, provided for salaries of
$15,000.00 each for the vice-president,
the speaker of the house, and for all
cabinet officers. The raise in pay for
Dawes, Longworth and the cabinet
members will be 100000 a year a
piece. Senator Smoot of Utah, as chair
man of the finance committee, report
ed the Ball bill fayorably to the SEN
ate, in spite of the fact that he has
been bitter foe of wage increases for
the postal workers.
The bill raising the pay of the
postal workers is still rocketing back
and forth between the house and
senate.

This hypocritical method Of fighting measures
for the protection Of children together with open

MUSIC
Bush Conservatory
Orchestra Offers
Musical Classics
BY ALFRED v. FRANKENsTEIN.

BY ALFRED v. FRANKENSTEIN.
The Bush conservatory orchestra
gave its second program of this sea-
son at Orchestra Hall last Tuesday
night. Bush conservatory programs
are worth hearing when one is not
in the mood for the new or the startl
ing, because they are made up of
old standbys in the concert literature.
This particular program opened
with the "Ruy Bias overture. the
time honored prelude written by Men
delssohn for Victor .Hugo's play of
the same name. "Ruy Bias" is more
vigorous music than, is generally as
ISOLATED with the name Mendelssohn,
and goes to show that the German
could on occasion, write more than
dangerous whisperings from fairyland.
This was followed by two move
ments of the Vieuxtemps fourth VIC
In "o""erto, PLAYED by Edwin Schultz
one of the pupils Of Richard Czerwon-
ny, the orchestra conductor. Vieux-
temps was too good a violin virtuoso
to write a remarkable concerto. Of
the two movements played, an an
dante and march, all the interest is
centered in the solo, and the orches-
ira has no more individuality than an
accompanying harmony. But the vio-
lin solo is full Of catching, whistleable
tunes. Schultz has. some tone, but
his information is frequently ragged.
Followed the great and passionate
prelude and love-death of the Wag-
merriam opera Tristan and Isolde"
the vocal solo of the latter section
sung by Julia Rode. There was pol
ished, perfected orchestra playing in
the prelude, but in the love-death the
orchestra drowned out the voice.
This was Czerwonky's fault, not Miss
Rodes.
A suite Of dances from a little
known opera of Saint-Saens, Henry
Vlll,' opened the second section of
the program. This music has not
been played here abouts in so long
that it is again new. Evidently the
Henry VIII that the opera is con-
cerned with is the English king of
many wives (who, by the way, was
composer Of some ability for the
dances are all in Scotch style. Saint
Saens was a composer of peculiar
adaptability. He could adopt for a
day or a week any style, because he
had little that could be called style
of HIS own.
In these dances he uses the Scotch
five note scale and evokes the men
tai associations of kits and plaids
and a rich brogue. His shrewd or.
chestral chemistry can be heard in
the second movement, called "Idyll
Ecossaise," Scotch IdylD wherein
melody in the oboe solo is accom-
panied by drone in the cellos, pro-
ducing as near an imitation Of a bag
pipe as can be gotten from orchestra
instruments. mf
Harold Sanford played the first
movement Of one OF the great class
les OF piano literature, the first con-
certo OF Chaykovski This is the
grand STYLE" to cop a phrase Of our
favorite musical essayist. IL is
masterwork Of the first order. II has
in II all that one associates with the
name Chaykovski, the Russians
sweetness Of melody. his power and
his melancholy. Sanford played It a
bit more slowly than is traditional
but with excellent under standing OF
its meaning.
The program wound up with the
ever popular "Mardh OF the Boyars"
by Halvorsen.
