Imperialist League, to jail for a
term f40 days.
Comrade Simons spoke on the LIST
of August at a nopen air mass meet
ing organized under the auspices of
the Communist Party of the U. S.
and the League. Against the orders
of the police that prohibited the
holding of the meeting, hundreds of
workers stood firm around the plat
form and cheered the message of in
tensified struggl against American
Imperialism which is preparing US
for a new war.
On the First of August, our
League held successful meetings in
all parts of the country. Thousands
of workers and anti-imperialists re-
9ponded othe appeal made by our
speakers exhorting them to intensity
their activities and protest against
the preparations of another imper-
ialist war, against the attack upon
the Soviet Union, against the mas
sacre of Arabian and Jewish wrok-
ers in Palestine, for the complete
liberation of all colonies and semi
colonies.
The imperialist class of Boston
used its police and courts in its en-
deavor to put stop to our activ-
tiles.
We theoretically protest against
the Imprisonment of Comrade VII
liam Simons and call upon all our
organizations, members
and all sincere anti-imperialists to
protest against this imperialist act.
We declare that such acts on the
part of the imperialists will not in
duce us to stop with out activities.
On the contrary, together with all
Their organizations that fight imper-
ialism, we will continue fighting i'm
perialist oppression in the colonies
and at home.
We demand the immediate release
of William Simons!
Down with imperialist oppression
and terrorism.
Down with imperialist war!
Long live the anti-imperialist
struggles!

HAVANA, Oct. 24.-New proof
of the servility f the Cuban presi-
dent, Butcher Machado," to Ameri-
can sugar interests is seen in the
exposure of lobbyists for rival cane
and beet sugar interests, the first
Cuban and the second in the United
States, being uncovered at the SEN

iMachado obtained General Knoch
0owder, who attained fame first by
being the author and enforcer of
the infamous Consumption Law dur
ing the war, and who later was
Washington's ambassador to Cuba
to see that Cuban labor unions were
destroyed and scores of union men
murdered, to lobby for the Cuban
sugar companies at Washington,
says the president of the Cuban
Sugar Co., H. C. Lakin. Lakin says
.Crowder was paid "small stipend"
for influencing congress not to raise
the duty on Cuban sugar. At the
same time, U. S. beet sugar inter-
ests were paying other lobbyists for
influencing congress to raise the
duty.
Lakin admitted that the National
City Bank was virtually in control

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "a. = An
attack by right wing thugs and
police on the militant needle trades
workers picket line at the Raab
shop, the knitting of several pickets
by thugs, and the arrest of from
thirty to forty pickets today marked
the continuation of the wave of ter
ror against the militant Philadelphia
workers, terror carried out by the
combined forces of the police, the
bossse and the yellow-socialist reoc-
tionary clique of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union.
The attack on the picket line at
the Raab shop this morning, fol-
lows on the attempt to frame up

STREET, organizer for the Window
Cleaners Union, who was arrested
following the shooting of a thug and
policeman, merely because he hap
pened to be in the headquarters of
the militant Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union, at 80 North 10th
St., after a right wing needle trade
thug and a policeman named Jones
were shot in a quarrel of some sort.
STREET was in the office of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union at the time Of the shooting.
Call For Terror.
The Philadelphia capitalist press
has taken the lead in calling for
the increase of the terror reign
against militant workers. "Reds
shoot policeman and worker" their
flaring headlines read.
The attack on the picket line to-
day occurred at about 7 a. M, soon
after the pickets had formed into
line. The attempt to railroad STREET
on a murder charge is in line with
the announced intention of Penn
sylvania officials to resort to all
methods in order to crush the Com
munist Party and all left labor
groups.
Also. part of this terror drive
against militant members of mill
tant organizations was the action of
school officials of PHILADELPHIA in
suspendnig Shelly Strickland, Negro
Young Pioneer delegate to the Soviet
Union, from the Spring Garden Pub
lie School.

time a loan was made by the bank
of $50,000,000 to "Cuba."
Which means that Machado is
willing to constrain himself for some
part of this sum, and likewise means
that the bourgeois opponents to Ma
chado will talk to deaf ears here
after at the National City Bank in
New York, and further means that
the Senate Foreign Relations com
mittee will remain silent as the
grave on their formerly loud dis
covery of Machado's suppression of
