Identify Only Six of
48 Victims of Movie
Fire in Irish Town

DRUMCOLLIHER, ireland, Sept s.
Deadly silence prevails in this
stricken village, broken only by the
tramp of feet, sobs and an occasional
hJsterical shrek as attempts are
made to indemnity the dead of the dis
astrous fire in the improvised motion
picture theater here.
The charred remains Of As bodies
lie in collins in the houses and stores
and all day continual procession of
relatives and friends filed before these
bodies striving to identify them from
rosaries or trinkets which were found
upon them.
Thus far only six Of the As bodies
have been identified.

principles of solidarity constrain every
country not to regard with continued
indifference the vandalic capers OF
Juan Cincente Gomez. applauded as
they are by vile cohort of hired Jour
nalists who in no way reflect popular
sentiment, because they confound the
issues and renounce all dignity for the
sake of the despot's favor.
For the present, in order that our
Introductory correspondence may not
be burden to you, we shall call to
your attention only one matter, of re-
cent occurrence, which pictures in
mastery style the ambition Of the ty-
rant, and the malleable and elastic
fashion in which he has struck terror
into the hearts of men distinguished
for their intelligence, their social and
economic tenure.
Enormous Graft.
By consent of the national congress
it has been resolved that Juan Vim
cente Gomez might purchase for the
sum of seventeen million bolivars the
estates known at "Hat6s de Ell Caura,"
consisting of more than one hundred
square leagues along the Orinoco.
Serves Imperialism.
These Gomez acquired for the ridic-
ulous sum of three hundred thousand
bolivars; he contrived to plumber Ven
ezuela with his customary procedure,
and suggested the scheme to hts
henchmen in congress. 1t was &C.
cepted without objection, with the en-
thusiastic appreciation of persons
who, thru fear or effrontery, sanction
ed and continue to sanction the mon
strosities Of this man who has given
free entrance, without precautions and
to their huge advantage, to the dan
gerous magnates Of imperialist coun-
tries.
In Venezuela Gomez disposes of the
property of the natives quite as he
pleases. The measures which he puts
into practice have generous range
from impudent offers for valuable
property all the way to arrant bully
ing; imprisonment or death are cur.
rent coin.
Selzes National Wealth.
Thus he has seized upon whatever
the country produces, monopolizing
the cattle industry and its derivatives,
the mills, navigation, the manufacture
of Roman cement, the exploitation OF
woods, pearls, cigarettes,
transport. etc.-all this to such de-
gree that a newspaper in San Jose,
Costa Rica, edited by Venezuelan
exiles, enumerating the number, ex-
tent, and other particulars OF the
properties acquired by Gomez during
his dismal predominance, establishes
a total OF much more than a thousand
million bolivars! And yet waen he
first came into power he was man OF
very modest fortune.
We make Pan.Amerlcanism effec-
tive by attacking IN its very lair all
such systematic plundering. We do
not hesitate.
Respectfully yours.

English Secretary, the Venezuelan
Labor Union.

MADRID, Sept. s. - At a meeting

decided to send note to the league

Willow Street,
Brooklyn. New York,
August 10, 1926.
Editor, The DAILY WORKER:
Taking for granted your passion for
the liberty of all peoples, we of the
Venezuelan Labor Union have re-
course to your periodical in behalf of
nation cruelty oppressed, In which,
owing to monstrous and staggering
tyranny, no proper use OF the press
can be made.
Genuine Tyranny.
Venezuela has no lack Of lofty Gre
dentials among the peoples of Amer
lea; she has a right to a patent of
honor; and it is with reason that she
appeals to all republics for moral and
material aid. There is now In South
America people in grief under the
lash Of governmental abuse; their
arms, in the name of all that is pitt
full, are raised for help; but for every
one that ventures to speak up against
such tyranny, there is sudden seizure,
the burden Of chains, and incontinent
seclusion in some dungeon, where Of
ten enough he is logged to death.
In the name of the martyred and
silenced people of Venezuela, our or
ganization begs you to give space in
your periodical for their complaints,
that we may thus secure the attention
Of America, that all humankind may
hear II, that magnanimous souls may
be moved to come to the help OF those
who have the undeclinable duty and
the most decided purpose to break q
way toward the light thru the Jungle
Of social venality.
Want Support.
We wish 10 count upon the material
and moral support of those for whom
patriotism is a noble and vibrant mat.
ter, in order that in the near future
our banner of protest may nutter UNI
der favorable American sky.
1t is a disgrace to America that
there are TO be found anywhere such
acts OF the magnitude OF those which
SUCCESSFULLY occur in Venezuela with
the knowledge and sanction OF the
civilized world.
