Announces Reopening'
Will See 20 PC. Slash

To the Daily Worker:
The only mill in Maynard, Mass,
owned by the American Wool Co., an
nounced through the newspapers
that it will shut down for two or
three weeks and on the opening will
give the workers a 20 percent wage
cut.
This mill formerly employed 1900
workers. Today 500 are working part
time. Two or three days week earn
ing an average of So or 50 per week.
Some of the workers in this mill
are dues paying members of the
United Textile Workers. 80 workers
paying dues to this union surely
thought this union would come to
their help in this hour of need Pres
ident MacMahon came to speak to a
meeting approved by the bosses. The
leaflets for this meeting were distrib-
uted in the mills. The company OBJ
viously not fearing the words of wis
dome of the president Of this labor
union. To this meeting 300 workers
came. MacMahon told the workers
that they must accept the wage cut.
That the bosses are having hard
time (hard time! what about the
workers?) and that the workers must
help them out.
20 percent wage cut for the work
ers in Maynard means actual starv-
i alton. The workers are very dissatis-

There were IS workers. Some of them
spoke urging organization. Stating
conditions were so terribly bad that
unless the workers organize the en-

some of the workers volunteered for
a committee to get hall and arrange

NEW YORK. Officers of the

scheme.
Both Local Z and Local 8 recently
voted down the proposition of the Of
ficers and bosses that the New York
shops cut wages lin order to meet
outside competition.
The officers got the idea that the
trimners' local could be bulldozed by
a 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

meeting and tell them that the men
were 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 chance
to speak.
Green arrived, saw the committee

HAVANA, Nov. l3.-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
M. Barraque, secretary of justice, was
the accidental" killing of Mercedes
Barbarossa by stray bullet as she
watched a students riot Wednesday
night. Since Machados 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.
Ell Pals and Diario de La Marina,
two newspapers, we're shut down to-
day on Maachado's 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.

that is all I have to say. You can
adjourn the meeting and let them all

The sentiment of the girls and the
committee from the men was, "This
is outrageous. We pay dues to those

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.
