Gales Asked To Stop
Anti-Machado Papers

Z MEXICO CITY, July 3O.-The
Cuban government, through its min
lister in Mexico, has requested the
Mexican government to suppress
the Communist weekly, Gel Ma
chete" and a radical magazine pub
lished by Cuban revolutionary ex-
lies, called "Cuba Libre," on the
ground that these two publications
have devoted their pages to malign-
ing the Cuban people. 1t is not ex-
pected that the Mexican govern
ment will accede to the request.
Neither paper has dedicated any
space to attacking the Cuban peo-
pie, but they have carried very
trenchant articles attacking the
dictatorship of President Machado
and his treatment of WORKERS and
Communists.

BUFFALO, July 30.-Another

ing the liberation of five workers

sentenced unjustly and before a
grossly prejudiced tribunal of off
GERS.

hose.
The workers reformed in other
sections of the town and continued

"The report shows that the
Liberian government was originally
opposed to the loan. but under pres
sure of threats by the United States

"The Liberian government was

"In addition to the enslavement of

Republican Party in his true light,
as the enemy Of the colonial peoples
and particularly of the oppressed
and prosecuted Negro race who have
long and mistakenly looked on the
Republican Party as the organiza-
tion that emancipated them from
chattel slavery.
"The answer of the oppressed
Negro masses to the exposure of
Hoover's role as an agent of the ex-
ploiters and lynchers of their race
Is to break with the Republican
Party, as we'll as with the Demo-
cratic Party, the historical party of

exploited white workers in the

COMMUNISTS ARE
EXCLUDED FROM
VOTE CAMP AICN
Militants Move to Act
Despite Terror
Especial to the Daily worker)

H HAVANA, Cuba, July 3d.
Gathered in the chamber of the house
of Representatives in this city, the
joint assembly of the three legal
political parties yesterday went thru
the solemn farce of nominating
General Gerardo Machado as the sole
candidate to succeed himself in the
coming elections.
Having disposed of the Commu-
mist Party by refusing it permission
to participate legally in the cleo
tons, the representatives of the as
sembled parties, chiefly representa-
tives of business and professions or
of special American interests, pro-
ceeded to nominate the only legal
candidate.
Assisting at the nominating farce
was ex-president Menocal, the plant
tool of the American capitalists. The
leaders of the Conservative, Glib
eral" and Popular" parties sat
around center table while the dele
gates responded to the roll call.
There were 1877 present sufficient to
make up quorum.
Following the announcement that
Machado is to be the sole candidate
in the ensuing campaign, the three
leaders of the acceding parties made
speeches lauding the accomplish
ments of their candidate.
At the same time plans for carry
ing on an agitation against Machado
In spite of the prevailing police
terrorism are being formulated by
the militant leaders of the workers.
The newly nominated president is
better known among the Cuban
working class as Butcher" Machado
for the persistent campaign of terror
which he has carried on against
them.

RICAN
WORKERS FACE
HUNGRY LIFE
Bread Luxury Under
U. S. Imperialism

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, July 80.
Some of the benefits" of Ameri-
can imperialist rule are shown in a
report given out by the Bureau of
Labor" Even this reactionary or
ganization is forced to admit that
the workers of Porto Rico have come
to the verge Of actual starvation
under the American government.
Thousands Hungry.
Thousands of workers are endur-
ing the pangs of hunger in a land
of wealth and the masses are unable
to afford even enough bananas.
Bread is luxury here. Beef and
pork are seldom seen in the homes
of the workers. The diet of the
laborers consists of bananas, cod
fish, rice, beans, cornmeal and cof-
fee without milk. The Goldfish pur-
chased by the workers, however, is
of very inferior quality, but costs at
least II cents a pound. Cornmeal OF
the worst quality costs A cents a
pound.
No More Free Bananas.
Bananas were free to workers I'M
der Spanish imperialism, but under
American imperialism they cost 20
cents hundred, which is a consider
able sum considering the few cents
a day received by the workers.
One child generally consumes five
bananas at one meal and twice as
many are necessary for an adult
worker.
Clothing at Expense of Food.
Clothing and shoes of the worst
class, according to the Bureau of
Labor report, are bought on credit
and always at the expense of food.
The cost of clothing is twice as high
as it was ten years ago.
The number of unemployed in
Porto Rico is estimated at between
100000 and 100000.
Wealth for Bosses.
Porto Rico is naturally one of the
richest parts of the world, and every
year tens of millions of dollars of
wealth are produced. But the land
is owned by large corporations and
the workers who produce so much
get only the blessings of starvation
and being under the rule of Ameri-
can imperialism.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, July 30
1900 more workers and student
youths will end their training this
week for becoming soldiers in the
event of an imperialist war, at the
Citizens Military Training Camp
here. The authorities are proud that
the youths have very "satisfac-
tory" record of shooting which will
be put into actual practise against
their fellow workers of other nations
unless the young soldiers turn
against their own capitalist oppres-
sors.

Workers in Coke Fields
Angry at Wage Cut

UNIONTOWN, Pa, July 3d.
The H. G. Prick Coke Company, a
non-union subsidiary of the steel
trust, cut wages IL per cent for all
workers except pit-coal diggers. The
cut affects $4,000 men in Fayette
and Westmoreland counties. Out
side day laborers will get $3.50 a
day, and mine laborers only S3.06.
The workers are growing more
hostile against the wage slash since
it was reported that most of the
large Independent operators in the
Connellsville region will take ac-
ton similar to that of the Frick
company.
