to Beaumont by dropping the final

what might prove a vital series in
the Louisiana city today, that Is,
vital, if the magnates should for

would eliminate both from a pos

Other pairings find the Indians

BRITISH STAR
COMES THROUGH
Austin In Semi-Finals With
y Tilden, Cochet And
Borotra

WIMBLEDON, July 2-(P-For
the first time since 1925, the British
empire has placed n of its sub
jectS In the semi-final round of the
mems singles in the British tennis
Championships.
H. w. Austin, generally regarded
rs the most promising English ten
mis- played in recent years, gained
the semi-finals along with Big Bill
Tilden, Henri Cochet and Jean
Borotra, by eliminating the Hun
garian ace, Baron Won Kehrling, in
straight sets yesterday.
Four years ago, j. o. Anderson OF
Australia, got is far as the semi
finals. losing in that round to Rene
Lacoste of France. but since then
France and the United States had
monopolized the last four places un-
til Austin came along to break into
the charmed quartet" In 1926 the
Semi-finaliStS we're Jean Borctra,
Jacques Brugnon and Henri Cochet
of France, and Howard Kinsey OF
the United States. The following
year it was Cochet, Borotra, Tilden
and Lacoste. Last year Cochet, La
coste, Tilden and Christian Boussus
fought it out for the right to enter
the finals.
Austin's victory over Won Kehr-
ling climaxed a series Of sensational
triun1phs by the former Cambridge
star. His victims included among
others Frank Hunter and Brugnon.
Notwithstanding Austin's per-
Torrance, the experts are predicting
another all-French final, picking
.Cochet to beat Tilden and Borotra
to down Austin.

SAN BENITO, July 2.-Due to
the injection of politics into the
organization, plans for formation OF
a Valley Worm Growers association
have been abandoned.
This announcement was made BY
H. P. Boyd, guiding light in the
movement.
The proposed Organization WIS
purely non-partisan, layman's affair

gressmen began trying to use it for
political purposes" Boyd said. I'm
view Of this we find it advisable
to drop it, and let every fellow fight
it out for himself"
Boyd said he regarded statements
by Brownsville men, particularly
those associated with national poI-
1t1cs, that they had worms in their
backyard as of purely political sig
n1ficance, not being founded on a
close survey of the situation.

MacahdO, Killer of
Mella, Works With
U. S. Sugar BarOns

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Bloody
Machado, the puppet governor Of
Cuba who has slaughtered hundreds
of workers, was proved to be closely
connected with the Cuba Co., and
the National City Bank of New
York, in their sugar tariff lobby.
The Cuba Co. has $170,O0OOOO in
vested in Cuba and is the real gov
eminent. Machado has acted as the
hangman of the militant workers in
behalf of his imperialist friends.
The sugar barons lobby for lower
tariff rates reaches from Hoover,
through his personal attorney Shat
tuck, who got $4,000 present for
his work, to Governor Machado.
Every department of Machado's
government has been enlisted in the
service of the sugar robbers.
More startling revelations were il
licited from Herbert C. Lakin, presi.
dent of the Cuba Co., in his testi.
many before the senate investigat,
ing committee.
Lakin testified that the Cuba Co
got Hoover's approval in their tariff
lobbying. Machado was kept in close
touch with the activities of the
sugar trusts and their lobby. He
was informed of Shattucks working
with Hoover.

In spite of the lying reports in

everything is quiet in Haiti, news
leaks through the rigid censorship
informing us to the contrary. In to-
days "Times," we learn that 15
Haitian workers were arrested for
violating the "curfew law" law
compelling all Haitians to be off the
streets by nine o'clock in the eve
ming. This law does not apply to
the imperialist lords of the island.
The struggle against American
imperialism conducted by the Amer
lean Negro Labor Congress, is meet
ing with great response from the
black and white American workers.
The white workers have gone on
record in expressing their solidarity
with the revolutionary struggle OF
the Haitian workers.
Tonight's meeting promises to be
one Of the largest mass protest
meetings ever held in Harlem.
All workers and sympathizers
with the cause should make it their

Schlessinger Meets
With Bosses i'm Plan
to Fight Workers

Representatives of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union met with a bunch of garment
bosses and Governor Roosevelt to-
day in an effort to crush the grow
ing militancy of the needle workers.
Franklin Simon, president of the
Garment Retailers of America, an
nounced he will call the retailers
together in order to organize them
against competition and against
the workers.
Benjamin Schlesinger, president
of the 1. L. G. w. u, was present
at the collaboration meeting. He
said that the I. L. G. W. U. was
coming to the conclusion that they
would not strike against the manu-
facturers but might strike against
the retailers.
The answer Of the dressmakers
to Schlesinger's and the bosses in
his fake strike call is intensive
mobilization for an immediate
struggle under the leadership of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union.
Shop strikes on large scale to
unionize the dress trade is the an
swer to Schlesinger's collaboration
with the bosses and the Tammany
Hall politicians.
