Blind Men by SHOP Committee

I'd like other workers to write
through the Daily telling what they
think is the proper action for the
workers at such an election.
The companys attempt to fool the
workers by this shop committee
shows that it knows how discen-
tented the U. S. Metals workers
are. But these things aren't blind
ing the workers.
We want better wages, so we can
live decently, and we want an end
to seven days a week work; we
want pay for overtime at the time
and a half basis We know we
will not get that through the
company's hand-pieked committee.
It'll take our own shop committee
to do it. Down with the companys
committee and company union and
up with the true workers organic

CUBAN WORKERS
ASSASSINATED
Machado Crimes Stir
Anger of u. S. Labor

The hypocrisy of the tool of
American imperialism, the president
of Cuba, known as Butcher" Ma
chado, is again shown in telegram
received from Machado by the Trade
Union Unity League promising an
investigation" of the arrests of
Chinese workers in Cuba protested
by the T. U. U. L., concurrently with
the bare word received through
Cuban enigres in New York, that
Machado has murdered another
worker, reported to be Commun-
list and leader of the Cuban Com
munist Party.
On November Is, the T. U. U. L.,
together with the All-American
Anti-Imperialist League, the AL
lance to Support the Chinese
Worker Peasant Revolution, the As
ISOLATION of Revolutionary Cuban
Emigrants, the |. L. D., and the
japanese Workers Alliance, sent a
telegram to Machado demanding the
immediate release of Keechang and
% other Chinese workers held on a
Cuban battleship for deportation
and death-to China.
To this, Ricardo Herrera, Ma
chado's secretary, cabled a reply
that Machado, being informed of
the protest, "has ordered an inves-
tigation." But not only are the
Chinese workers, whose arrest oc-
Cured at the instigation of the
Havana Kuomintang, still held and
still marked for deportation, but a
native Cuban Negro, Santiago
Brooks, has been assassinated by
Machado's paid bloodhounds. The
Daily Worker was unable yesterday
to reach Cuban emigres in New
York, who are said to be acquainted
with the detailss, but Brooks is re-
ported to be a leader of the Com

vote for this section was unanimous.
Capitalists are cordially invited
to membership in the socialist
party by action of the New York
Convention which threw sits doors
wide open to all men and women
who accept its fundamental prin-
ciples without distinction of class,

One bricklayer delegate asked if
it wasn't possible for a worker to
get the floor. After much commo-
ton he was permitted to state that
there were a couple of workers still
in the socialist party. The brick
layer, however, voted for the new
policy of Transforming the Social
list" party into third capitalist
party.
II know" said Norman Thomas,
that most of our votes did not
come from workers. We must di-
rect ourselves to these people who
now accept the new socialism"
A change of name was proposed.
The delegates voted for the drop
ping of the word socialist" when
ever expedient. "The socialist party
is not welded to it's NAME" said the
statement on policy, land if there
should ever be good reason for
changing it, it will not hesitate to do
it."
That the change of policy is not
restricted to New York was express
sed by Clarence Senior, the college
boy national secretary of the social
list party, who said he hoped that
the steps taken in New York would
inject life into the dying branches
in the West.
All the delegates were agreed on
the necessity of merging the Social
list" party into any capitalist third
party that could befuddle the work
ers, or become a part of a Labor
Party in which there was no faint
of any form of radicalism.

u. S. IMPERIALISM Defeated,
CHANG KA!-SHEK RETURNS TO
NANKINC To TRY CANCELLATION
Mutiny Everywhere as Tools of British and
Japanese Slash at Marking Rule
Disintegration and Revolution Follows
Marking Attack on Soviet Union

SHANGHAI, Nov. 24.-The de-
feat of American imperialism thru
Chang Kai-shek's announced return
from Honan to Marking, is seen
more clearly in the light of the
further announcement that he will
soon issue a statement consiliatory
to the "reorganizationist" revolt in
itiated by British and japanese i'm
perialisms and jointly working thru
rival militarists in both North and
South.
While Marking officials with their
brazen-faoed lying claim t h a t
Chang Kai-shek's desertion of the
Honan-Hupeh front means that the
Kuominchun army of Feng Yu-
hsiang is defeated there, the facts
all show the exact contrary, and il
is clear that this fairy tale is a
face-saving yarn to cover retreat
and Chiang's eleventh hour effort
to save something from the wreck.
Chiang's statement is forecast to
be an approach to the rebels de-
mands on the elimination of his per-
sonal dictatorship, corruption and
inefficiency. With this soft soap it
is said that Chang means to placate
Yen Hsi-shan. But underneath this
is an attempt to patch up imperial
ist rivalries before the workers and
peasants sweep the country with
Chinese Soviets. Revolutionary ris-
ings have been the answer of the
Chinese masses to the attack on the
Soviet Union by Marking in Man
cLuria.

The M. w. l.. secretary, men,
Der of the national board of the T..
U. U. L., reported on the good sue
cess of the establishment of regular
M. w. L. offices in a number of
cities. Seamen are accustomed to
finding an office at which to report
and pay dues when ending cruise.
Such examples as that of a dele
gate placed on ship in Seattle, who
brought in twelve new members
from the crew when they reached
New York, were given.
Seamen landing at Bordeaux or
Antwerp pay their dues at Seamen's
clubs there, and the money and rec
ord are sent to the N. W. l.. home
offices in New York.
The M. w. L. office in San Fran
cisco has been prosecuted by the po-
lice, and the socialist party clique
which owns the building in which it
has headquarters is trying to make it
move, so far without SUCCESS. The
San Francisco M. w. L. organizing
committee visits ten ships a day on
the average. Many are joining.
Chinese Leaflets.
Special attention is being paid on
the Pacific Coast to the Dollar Line
transatlantic steamers, which carry
Chinese crews below. The Pan-Pa-
cific Trade Union Secretariat issues
propaganda in the Chinese language,
which the M. W. l.. organizers hand
over to the Chinese seamen and find
it gladly received. Other foreign
language literature is in use.
The Importance of the Southern
field was stressed in the report.
There is Negro organizer, There
is a 10000 Negro population in

10000 longshoremen in that city.
Only 1000 are organized in the l.

here from Hardin state that the
Chinese and white guards in Man

case is certified of the death of a
former worker on the Chinese

just about to propose direct nego-

cause of the wreck and ruin Man
churia is suffering by the isolation
from the closing all traffic through

Another report states that Chang
is asking a commission from sigma
tories of the Kellogg Pact to give a
supposedly impartial" investiga-

Because the basic industries, steel,

fer no immediate possibilities for
employing more workers, but in fact
show definite trends of laying off
ever larger numbers, Hoover is ap-
pealing to the states for road build
ing programs to keep unemployment
from becoming dangerous to the cap

William F. Green, of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, issued a
statement the day following his al
lance with the Hoover Wall Street
capitalists, asking the members Of
the A. F. of L. to restrain from new
wage demands.
Green is acting as the publicity
agent for the big scab corporations,
shielding their wage-slashing cam
paigns. The A. F. of L. is acting as
a capitalist machine to crush the in
ereasingI demand for organization
from the workers. Thus Green an
nounced that the A. F. of L. drive

To keep up profits, pressure is
being put on the workers in the

organized resistance to lowering the
standard of living of the toilers.
Recognizing that unemployment is
growing fast as a result of the pres
ent depression, Hoover's appeal to
the governors exposes his failure in
getting any concrete achievements
from the large group of capitalists
he called to Washington. His state
ment to the As states, in part, reads
as follows:

ton of wages.
II have publicly stated, one of the
largest factors that can be brought
to bear is that of the energetic yet
prudent pursuit of public works by
the federal government and state,
municipal and county authorities"
Replies from the governors do
not indicate any additional emer-
gency building projects. Some pub
lish the figures of public works de-
cided upon in the usual routine in
order to add to the propaganda
value of the vast mass of figures
