CONN. AFL HEAD
AGAINST JOBLESS
A SIX S Discrimination
for Foreign-Born

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 13.-The
democratic alderman and head of the
Central Labor Council, John w.
Murphy, proposed a resolution which
81 a direct blow to the unemployed
and especially to the foreign-born
workers who have no Jobs. The reso-
luton proposed that the Board of
Aldermen start registration of I'M
employed who need relief. The cap
italist newspapers admit that "the
registration would, among other
things, prevent non-residents and
aliens crowding in on the welfare
list"
This is a brazen admission that
foreign-born unemployed workers and
others who could not meet the resi-
dence requirements would be left to
starve, assuming that the relief"
measures proposed would give more
than mere. crust of bread to any
workers at all. The Trade Union
Unity League has launched a cam
paign to get 10000 signatures by Jan.
LIST demanding of the State Legisla-
ture and of Congress that the Work
ers Unemployment Insurance Bill be
adopted, and that emergency relief
measures be started at once.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov. 13.
Unemployment is growing from
day to day in this city. johnson &
Johnson, medical supply manufacture

wage cut.
The Unemployed Council in New
Brunswick has called a mass meet
ing for Monday, Nov. IS. at p. m,
at Workers Home, II Pdum ST., to
mobilize the unemployed for struggle
to get rNief. The Hungarian Her.
ald,' a fake liberal sheet, is trying
to fool the unemployed, telling them
that anyone under 40 can get a job.
The Unemployed Council will ex-
pose these takers and mobilize for
a real struggle to get immediate I'M
employment relief, as well as to fight
for the Communist Party Unemploy-

HOLD 2 ON CHARGE
OF SYNDICALISM
Sold Daily Workers in
Portland

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 13.-Two
workers, Abe Ozeranski and Ben Be-
loft were bound over to the Grand
Jury on criminal syndicalism charges,
held under $4,000 bail each.
Ben Boloff had been arrested few
days ago and was questioned by the
immigration officials, who, after find
ing out that he was a Russian
dropped immigration proceedings
against him. A. Ozeranski was ar
rested Nov. 2 while selling Daily
Workers in the Plaza Square and aft
er being brutally beaten by the police,
was first charged with state vagrancy
and the charge was later changed to
criminal syndicalism.
The Portland government is not
holding Russians for deportation, for
they know that workers, deported
from U. S. because of their militant
activities, will be cordially welcomed

Halter Union Officials Call
Police in Pay Cut Maneuver
Try to Split Solidarity of Trimmers, Trimmers
Protest Rises; Must be Organized

NEW YORK. Officers of the
United Hatters of North America
still maneuvering to force the hatters
to take a wage cut, called in the pol
ice last night at the meeting of Lo-
cal 7, the trimmers' local girls, in
or',er to prevent them from hearing
what committee of the men Qocal
8, finishers) thought about the
scheme.
Both Local Z and Local recently
voted down the proposition of the Of
ficers and bosses that the New York
shops cut wages sin order to meet
outside competition"
The officers got the idea that the
trimmers' local could be bulldozed by
speech by Michael Green, president
of the U. H. of N. A. at their meet
ing last night, and then it would be
easier to force the men in line.
The finishers in Perfect Hat Shop
elected a committee of three, and
committees of five were elected at
each of Frank Katz Hat Shop, HUT
& Wasserman, and Kurtz & David
man to go to the trimmers' local
meeting and tell them that the men
we're against the cut, that it would
not make more work, for the outside
shops would cut too, and that it
would only mean less wages for
everybody.
When the committees arrived, they
elected a smaller committee of one
from each shop committee to go in
and ask for admittance and a chance
to speak.
Green arrived, saw the committee
or''7e, and ordered its members not
to even try to get in. A few minutes
later police began to arrive, three in
all. When the small committee tried
to go in, Green, the police and Min
ME Teitelbaum, the secretary of Lo-
cal Z came out and ordered them
away. Go to hell, mind your own
business" yelled Minnie, and the cops
threatened to arrest everybody in the
committees.
Girls inside moved that the COM
mittees be admitted, and the ma
chine began to yell, 1--WE can take

Martial Law CIamped Down in
Cuba; Masses Seeth With Revolt
Two Newspapers Shut Down; Bloody Machado
Police Kill Woman; Communists Are
Active in the Struggle

/ The tremendous drop in the price
of sugar has brought wrack and ruin
/ to the Cuban masses.
The Nationalist leaders have been
attempting to temporize the revolu-
tionary spirit of the masses, by ap-
pealing to so-called 'insurgent" Sen
ators in Washington for intervention
under the Platt Amendment to GUST
Machado and put them in power to
do Wall Streets bidding. Some of
them have made alliances with Bri-
fish imperialist interests against Ma
chado. But the great rank and file
of the Nationalist forces have been
agitating for a battle against the
Machado regime.
The Communist Party in Cuba has
been actively organizing the workers
to come out with the demands of
the working class and poor peasants.
1t is agitating within the trade
unions, which have been declared il
legal by Machado, to strike against
wage cuts and to demand bread The
unions, under Communist leadership,
are coming out more and more into
open struggle despite the vicious ter
ror of the Machado regime.
The Communist Party is illegal in
Cuba, but has been carrying on ac-
tive work. Membership in the Com
munist Party, in the eyes of Ma
chado, and his Wall Street puppets,
is a death offense, hundreds of Com
munists having been murdered dur
ing the past few years by Machado's
orders.

HAVANA, Nov 13.-Fearful of the
growing mass unrest, and the re-
peated bloody demonstrations against
the fascist regime of Machado, mar
tial law has been declared through
out Cuba.
The immediate excuse for the sus-
pension of all constitutional rights
by decree published by DR.. Jesus
NJ. Barraque, secretary of justice, was
the accidental" killing of Mercedes
Barbarossa by stray bullet as she
watched students riot Wednesday
night. Since Machado's police are
heavily armed, and have orders to
shoot to kill, the stray bullet I'M
doubtedly came from Machado's cops
and was meant for the demonstrat-
ing students.
FL Pals and Diario de La Marina,
two newspapers, were shut down to-
day on Maachados orders.
Several weeks ago at a specially
arranged function Machado issued a
statement declaring that his regime
was sound and popular. This was
his attempt to cover up the seething
revolutionary spirit throughout Cuba.
Cuba is in the worst crisis in its
history. Literally tens of thousands
of workers are starving. Hundreds
Of peasants and their families are
roaming the countryside begging
bread. There have been ferocious
battles. Dozens of Communists have
been killed by Machado and scores
are rotting in his vile jails.

care of ourselves" a clear attempt to
array the locals one against the
other, though they are both parts of
the same union.
When the girls insisted on having
their motion voted on, Teitelbaum
called in the police. Most of the
girls rose and surrounded those the
cops were trying to throw out. The
police we're sent out, and the same
thing happened again, they were
called in again when it was again
demanded that the motion to admit
the committees be voted on.
Green For a Wage Cut.
Green made a speech, in favor of
wage cut, although he started out by
saying that he did not come to talk
for it. He ended his speech, Now
that is all have to say. You can
adjourn the meeting and let them all
go to the devil"
The sentiment of the girls and the
committee from the men was, This
is outrageous. We pay dues to those
guys and they use the position and
funds we give them to call out the
cops on us!"
No vote was taken inside, and the
situation is about the same, except
that the workers, girls and men, have
had good lesson on the necessity
Of standing together against the
wage cut plans of the officials.
Next Step.
The committee members will report
back at shop call in the shops that
elected them and ask for resolutions
protesting the action of the officers.
At the meeting of Local 8, Wednes-
day, the matter will be brought up.
The matters are going to get a
wage cut unless they organize to
fight it. Fight Against Wage Cut"
Committees must be built up. 1t
would be a good thing if the shop
committees elected to go to the Local
7 meeting were to be made perma-
nent, and should be joined by other
committees from other shops. The
trlmmers should also elect commit
tees and act in conjunction with the
men.
