and a so-called Labor Party" that

offices, has failed to deceive the
Cuban workers and the answer to
the governments attack on the le-
gality of the National and Havana
revolutionary unions is seen in the
24-hour strike sweeping the whole
island.
Reports state that theimportant
Cigar Makers Union was the first to
down tools, with the street car and
bus operators leaving their posts at
l p. m. Thursday as one man, while
the walters and all other workers
in restaurants and hotels struck at
midnight Wednesday and let the
horde of sleek Yankee tourists take
a 24-hour fast in the numerous
hotels that center the Yankee winter
resort trade. All newspapers but
one, the "El Mundo" were tied up,
reporters as we'll as printers strik-
ing with the other industrial work
ers.
The strike, undoubtedly sweeping
within it for more than the 100000
the capitalist press admits, is a ire
mendous political demonstration of
the power and advanced position of
the Cuban working class in the in
ternational revolutionary movement.
AS it occurs in a virtual colony
of Yankee imperialism, it is a Won
derful demonstration to the working
class of the United States that the
struggles of the American working
class against American capitalism
has a powerful and loyal proletarian
ally in the working class of Cuba
1t is also a guarantee that the Cuba
workers will maintain their revolu-
trade unions in spite of all
the fascist attacks against them
committed by the lackeys of Hoover
and Wall Street.

cipated in by all the delegates a
program for future action was
adopted, outlining:
1.-The major task is the con-
centration of all forces to mobilize
mass delegation for the May II
convention, by the building Of func-
tioning shop locals in all important
plants of the industry which must
meet regularly and take up specific
grievances of the workers in the
every day struggle. Thesa shop To-
Gals must hold open meet gs after
thorough preparation by distribu-
ton of stickers and leaflets inside
and outside of shops.
2.-Functioning departments to
carry on work among women, Ne
groes and youth.
3.-A systematic campaign for
union members and the raising Of
finances from all working class or
CARNATIONS.
4.-Fifteen members shall be
elected to the resident board in De-
troit to take care of the national
campaign.
5.-The national convention shall
elect mass delegation to the June
14-15 convention of the National
Metal Workers Industrial League to
be held in Youngstown, Ohio.
6.-The national committee shall
initiate and stimulate revolutionary
competition of individual members
for a membership campaign between
shop locals for the registering of
the greatest progress and also be-
tween the various national leagues
affiliated to the T.U.U.L.
THE Auto Workers Union must
consider as one of its basic tasks
the building of the T.U.U.L. into
real functioning council challenging
the reactionary strikebreaking De-
troit A. F. of L. headed by Frank
X. Martel.
The union must draw the great
mass of unemployed workers into
active participation on the basis of
the general program of the T.U.U.L.
exempting them from dues payments
and connecting them up with the
various shop locals of the factories
in which they were employed.

to this process that the conditions
are becoming worse from day to
day. This system of intensified la
Dor is organized in such way as to
call forth competition both between
the workers of the branches and be-
tween the branches themselves. In
some cases, when the different
branches are comprised of employees
made up of different races, between
the white and colored workers often
this competition gives rise to race
hatred and is fostered by the bosses.
Proved Persecution.
In view of protests on the part of
the workers, an investigation COM
mittee was appointed by congress.
A decree was introduced prohibiting
the use of chronometers and other
means for measuring the time when
Investigating the work of the postal
employees, or to apply weights and
any other methods for defining the
amount of posts, accepted or sent
out by the workers in order to sig
Nifty the productivity of labor, or
also to use any other methods for
frightening or forcing the workers.
This decree was not endorsed by
congress, although the investigation,
which was verified also by the con-
gress commission, disclosed many
facts-that the postal workers are
subject to prosecutions, dismissals,
to overfatigue in consequence of ra-
tionalization, etc.
The letter-carriers were also SUBJ
ject to an inquiry from the postal
inspector. They were followed up
while on the road, and their every
step was counted, in order to figure
out the distance they covered, and
in accordance with this they defined
how much time they needed. After
this the administration demanded
that the letter-carriers make their
rounds on the basis of the above
reckonings. The conditions put for
ward were so difficult, that the
workers forced to make their rounds
without any rest, in order to COM
plete their rounds in the definite
period fixed for them.
Increased Labor Productivity.
Those who sort the letters are
obliged to put in go letters per min
ute, or 5000 letters per hour, j. e.
with the maximum speed at which
the hands can possibly move. The
former demands were 16 letters per
minute. During the course of one
year the output in the postal deli
very branch increased by 100 per
cent. Today the general average
output is SOTO per cent high than
the output which existed before the
introduction Of the intensified la.
Dor methods.
Beginning with 1917 up to 1925,

employees has increased by less than

From all over the country comes
news of the selection of delegates
for the National Conference on un-
employment called by the Trade
Union Unity League and the Coun-
ellis of the Unemployed to meet in
New York, March %.
This conference will form ma
tional center for the unemployed or
CARNATIONS, and will coordinate and
give organizational strength to the
mass movement that shows itself in
every industrial city. 1t will work
out the details of the union of the
jobless workers and the workers who
still have jobs, which the employers
hope to make more profitable for
capital by using the unemployed to
beat down wages and lengthen hours.
The unemployed and the militant
workers in the factories and shops
will work together, for work or
wages, for immediate relief, and for
the seven-hour day and five-day
week, against speed-up, etc.
City Conference.
The National Conference will
make plans for a national conven-
ton on unemployment to be held in
Chicago, in May. 1t will be pre-
coded in New York by a city con-
ference on unemployment, March 81.
Delegates to this city conference
have in many cases already been
elected by the meeting of the iobless
and by the union locals which met
this week. Other unions and unem-
ployed councils are still to elect.
