MACHADO REGIME

AMNESTY SCHEME:
Terror Against Labor
Continues
Especial to The Daily Worker

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. PA pre-
tended amnesty for political and in
dustrial offenders was voted by the
Cuban parliament and approved by
President Machado on December %.
It's effect was nullified, however,
by clause requiring that every case
should be re-examined by a special
commission with full authority to re-
fuse amnesty. The many victims of
Machado's ruthless terror against the
working class movement remain in
prison, despite the alleged amnesty.
In the two months since the pro-
clamation of the amnesty" only four
prisoners were released, and these
were men unconnected with the labor
movement. Countless cases of work
ers and working class leaders have
been rejected by the amnesty cora
mission.

BRITISH TEXTILE CRISIS
Labor Fights Retor,nist Leaders
By LOUIS zooBoCK.
Continued from Last Issue)

The textile employers are now fol-
lowing in the coal owners footsteps.
Faced with overproduction and bad
trade, the employers in the mining
industry sought salvation by reduc-
ing wages and increasing the hours
of work.
The concrete proposal Of the en-
ployers is; a 1213Ga reduction in
wages and the extension of the 49,
hour week to 521a hours.
Such demands, as admitted by even
part of the capitalist press, will not
help to solve the problem of indus
try. The "Times" of January II, in
leader on the cotton crisis, writes;
There is no reason to suppose that
the proposed remedies would be eff
fective in rescuing the industry from
its present unhappy plight. The re-
cent experience of the coal trade
would seem to suggest, on the con-
trary that homeopathic treatment of
this type is not really the complete
cure for the particular malady of
which both coal and cotton are the
victims"
Insist On Demands.
The textile employers, nevertheless,
insist upon their demands. The joint
conference between the employers
and the representatives of the textile
workers unions, which took place on
January II, brought no definite re-
suits. The operatives spokesman
stated plainly that under no circum-
stances could they agree to the en-
ployers' recommendations DO tn
sides agreed to resume negotiations
on February 9rd.
1t must be mentioned that the Of
fetal leadership of the textile work
ers' unions is the most reactionary.
While the employers are talking war,
Ben Turner, the leader of the textile
workers, is conducting a campaign
for peace in industry. The leadership
of the textile workers is doing its
utmost to avoid a conflict and it is
only the pressure Of the minority
movement that prevents it from sub
hitting to the demands of the en-
ployers. The minority movement
from the very beginning of the con-
flict began to mobilize the forces of
the workers for a counter-attack
against the employers. It urged the
workers to carry out the following:
Minority Demands.
1. Mass meetings Of all workers
to explain to them the meaning and
significance of the employers pro-
posals.
2. From such meetings local coun-
ellis of action to be formed.
3. Form mill committees.
a. A campaign for a 100 per cent
trade unionism.
5. Unification of all the resources
Of the multiplicity of trade unions
existing in the cotton trade.
6. United resistance to any at
tempt to break the existing agree
ments.
T. No separate agreements to be
made.
8. Demand that the T. U. c. Cen
eral Council abandon peace in In
dustry" talks, and summon a special
Trade Union Congress to mobilize
support for textile workers.
