THE ATTEMPTS of the revolution
airy labor movement of Cuba to
unite and weld the split and scatter
ed trade union organizations into a
single national trade union center
commenced in February, 1925. The
first congress of labor organizations
then held advocated the formation of
National Labor Confederation of
Cuba. This was effected at the con-
stitutional congress of these organ
izations (held in August, 1925, in
the town of Kamague) with a men,
bership of over 100000.
From the very outset of its ac-
Invites, however, which were direct
ed towards the unification of its en-
tire trade union movement. to free
ing it from the influence of the
reformists and the reorganization of
the craft declarations into more pow
erful industrial unions, the National
Labor Confederation of Cuba met
with the most ruthless terror and
government prosecutions.
Attacks Communists.
The reactionary government, COM
prised of big magnates, closely
connected with U. S. imperialism,
directed its attacks first of all upon
the young but very active Commun-
ist Party of Cuba and the organ
! ization of the League Against I'M
perialism.
The Communist Party, like all
revolutionary labor organizations
was declared illegal. Any activities
directed against the government, OF
protests against the cruel persecu-
tions, are punished by long terms
of Imprisonment. The Communist
papers are closed down, their editors
arrested and kept in jail for long
periods without any trial.

Reformists Are Allied With Machado In
REFRESHING Militants

Not satisfied with these persecu-
tons against the revolutionary labor
movement the government of Cuba,
in the person of Machada, the Pres
ident-dictator, attempts to carry
out the will of U. S. imperialists and
to justify their confidence by form
ing yellow labor organizations. For
this purpose the government utilities

, Arevallo, the leader of the Cuban
reformists, attempted to form a
Federation of Labor of Cuba. but
in view of the sharp protest by the
workers, he was forced to give up
for time this idea. At the begin
ming of 1927, in connection with the
presidential elections and Machado's
desire to once more occupy the post
of President, the idea of forming a
reformist trade union center was
once more revived. AS is known.
Machado visited the United States
and conducted negotiations both
with Santiago Iglecias, one of the
Secretaries of the Pan-American
Federation of Labor and his patrons
of the American Federation of
Labor, and with the U. S. capital

that "no workers strike in Cuba will

"The fight against the Australian

The election campaign in Aus

the Communist Party of Australia

states against the Nationalist Party,
the open representative of the bour-
geoisie, and the Labor Party. the
bourgeois party active in the ranks
of the workingcless. In the state OF
Queensland especially, where the
Australian Labor Party has been
in power continuously for the last
IA years, the Communists are wag-
ing a strong campaign. Elections
are expected to take place there

IT IS to be supposed that more
than these promises were made by
the dictator of Cuba to U. S. cap

grows year by year, and in 1927
it was already more than 90 mil

After his reelection Machado did
not calm down. The growth of the
labor movement insistently reminds
him of the promises he made to the
American capitalists. His idea of

MOUNT VERNON, Va, Feb. 22. Wherever the sun shines on the American flag February p has peculiar significance-the ami versary of General George Wash ington.
 Valley Forge, Trenton and York town, studied in childhood, come back in the memory of Americans with the freshness that attends early impressions. They recall the ideals and examples of the father of his country" of whom it was said he was first in the hearts of his countrymen.'
 Washington's birthday is a legal holiday without regard to section alism and, like the Fourth of July is an occasion when the mind of the nation recalls it's infancy and honors the memory of the man who in a large measure made the union of AS states possible. It is observed by business and gov ernment and in schools is usually made the occasion for patriotic exercises.
 Among the great of the nation perhaps no man is shown more in terest than Washington. The na- tional shrines of Mount Vernon, Valley Forge, Christ Church and Yorktown, as well as other his toric spots noted in connection with his achievements, are visit, ed by thousands of tourists.
 Mount Vernon, his home during life and resting place after death stands foremost among the na tional shrines. Preserved in it's original beauty the old home on the Potomac is within a short dis tance of the national capitol, and only a few miles from Wake field" his birthplace, and Alexan dria, Va. where he was a vestry man in old Christ church
 One of the best known human interest stories Washington cut ting down the cherry tree--is per petuated on the Washington farm near Fredericksburg. Va, where grows a tree which legend says is sprout from the cherry tree cui down by Washington with his hatchet.
