ACT ON HOLIDAY
State Department Gets
Absolute Power

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. Not
withstanding that yesterday was a
holiday, General Gerardo Machado,
president Of Cuba, rushed through
the signing of a decree creating a
national press department under the
Cuban secretary of state.
The purpose of this department
is to register and control all news
papers throughout the republic in
the name of the government.
The first duty of the newly
created office, whose advent is
viewed with apprehension here as a
further step in tbs terrorist cam
paign which the government has
been carrying on against the work
ers and the Communist Party, will
be to provide every paper with a
certificate of Identification. The
certificate will be equivalent to a
permit, since the government can
withhold the document and force
suspension whenever it sees fit.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 1.
Forced by the overwhelming de-
mand of the workers in the aviation
industry for organization, the
American Federation of Labor of
ficials has at last made a gesture
N that direction. Proposals for the
unionization are being considered
after years of work in the leading
auto plants of the country by the
Workers (Communist) Party, which
has succeeded in arousing the air
craft workers where no organization
had existed before.
A militant shop paper, the

ed by the Workers Party nucleus in

The organization Of the aviation
workers has been ignored by the

CLARK 70 MAKE
ELECTION TOUR
To Speak in West in
Communist Drive

Stanley Clark, veteran revolution
list, editor of Labor Topics, Great
Falls, Montana, will tour several
western and northwestern states in
the interest of the election campaign
of the Workers (Communist) Party,
according to an announcement issued
last night from the headquarters of
the National Campaign Committee,
43 E. 125th ST., New York City.
Clark's itinerary will bring him
into the State of Minnesota about
the middle of August. Minnesota is
a hot-bed of confusion because of
the renegade labor leaders and shy
ster politicians who debauched the
once powerful Farmer-Labor move
ment and hitched it to the chariot
of the republican party. Senator
Shipstead, who was elected on a
Farmer-Labor ticket, is actually a
republican, and the great majority
Of former Farmer-Labor Party
leaders are now making deals with
the capitalist parties.
Clark will end his tour in Mime
sofa at the end of the first week in
September. From there he will go
to Nebraska and Iowa, finishing in
those two states on September %.
His next theatre of operations will
be Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ar
kansas, and Texas, winding up in
the lone Star State on October IA.
From October Is to October %,
Clark will speak in New Mexico,
Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
Clark is one of the many speakers
for whom tours are being arranged
by the National Election Campaign
Committee. Reports reaching cam
paign headquarters from all over the
country show that the workers and
exploited farmers are hungry for
Communist propaganda. Thousands
of copies of the National Platform
of the Workers (Communist) Party
have been disposed of in the short
time since the document has come
from the printers.

ELECTION LAWS
Lauderdale Gives Out
Instructions


HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. With
the county conventions of the
Workers (Communist) Party sched-
uled to be held Saturday for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
state convention in Houston Aug Ia,
B. H. Lauderdale, Texas organizer
of the Workers (Communist) Party
urges special attention to the fol-
lowing instructions based on the
Texas election law:
The law is silent as to the mini
mum number to be present in the
county convention, so hold the con-
vention whether few or many are
present, elect a qualified voter dele
gate, and notify Lauderdale of his
name and address.
A legal voter in a county is one
who has paid a poll tax on or be-
fore the 31st Gay of January of this
year and has been a resident of the
county six months and of the state
a year prior to the date of the coun-
ty convention, the 4th of August.
If a married man, residence may
be determined as the residence of
the wife, 1t is not necessary to meet
in the county seat to make the con-
vention legal. Anywhere in the
county is all right.
Observe carefully the necessity of
combining the convention to qualified
voters.
Address B. H. Lauderdale at
Route 1, Breckenridge, Texas.

CANADIAN COURT
BLOW AT LABOR

MONTREAL (By MaiD. - A
very important decision for work
ing women fell from the lips Of
Judge Casson of the Montreal
court. An artist, Alexander Berco-
witch stood before the court on the
charge of deserting his wife and
three children. The defendant was
released by the judge on the ground
that his wife always talked about
Communism, was active in Com
munist circles, held Communist
meetings in her home, and received
Communist literature daily from
Toronto.
With this decision the Canadian
court rules that a man whose wife
participates in revolutionary work
is released from all duties to his
wife and children. According to re-
ports of Canadian newspapers
similar decisions against Commun-
ist wives were upheld in other
cities.
