A Peaceful Afternoon
in Havana


From the N. Y. Telegram of Nov. IA, we give
the following observations
Riots in Havana which yesterday cost the
lives of seven civilians resulted from an order
issued by President Gerardo Machado for the
assassination of Alfredo Hornedo, owner of Ell
Pals, Cuba's largest newspaper it was charged
today by E. NJ Robaino, general representative
in the United States for Ell Pals.
THE office of Ell Pals was surrounded by
police and soldiers all afternoon, Robaino said.
They cut off all outside communications when
thousands of students and citizens enraged at
the rumor of the impending murder, gathered
in front of the building. Friends to whom I
telephoned told me they were unable to get
within blocks of the building
'Hornedo, member of the Cuban House of
Representatives, had been informed by init
mate friends of Machado that he was to be
murdered as he entered the capitol, and the
ruinor quickly spread through the city The
huge crowd Immediately assembled Machado
then prostituted the Constitution again and de-
clared martial law would be in effect at D. m,
the hour when Hornedo was to go to the Capitol.
The soldiers rode horses into the crowd strik-
ing left and right with their machetes'"
The Telegram adds: "Dr Ramon zaydin, edi-
tor OF Ell Pals, who fled from Cuba a month
ago, but who has maintained a rigid silence
since his arrival here, continued his refusal to
talk"

ssyUE will install the twenty hour week with
w no increase in wages" said zausner, Off
cial of Dist Council No of the Brotherhood of
Painters affiliated to the American Federation
of Labor He was talking about the "Stagger
system" as proposed by President Hoover.
The "Stagger System" is the newest creation
of the bosses and the A. F. L. to place the
full burden of the constantly growing crisis
upon the backs of the workers
Means Wage Cut.
The proposal of the "Stagger System" to the
building trades workers by Zausner is in reality
a proposal to cut the wage-scale of the workers
and at the same time compel one part OF work
ers to remain unemployed while the other part
is subjected to all of the speed-up and rotten
conditions that exist on the job
Why does Zausner propose the "Stagger Sys-
tenn" at this time? Here some of the rea-
sons:
The building bosses together with the A. F. l..
officials are trying to solve the crisis on the
backs of the building trades workers. With the
present great slump in building construction and
the continued withdrawal of finance capital
from the building industry, greater and great
er portion of the building workers remain
unemployed
Majority is JODleSS.
1t Is estimated that approximately rs per cent
of all building trades workers are at present
unemployed With the coming of winter this
army of unemployed will reach an even greater
figure. The remaining Is per cent are employed
part time and are worked under the most mis-
cradle conditions
Why the "Stagger System"
1t is to meet this situation and in an attempt
to stem the growing demands of the building
trades workers for unemployment relief and
shorter 'work-day with an increase in wages,
that the bosses together with the officials of
the A. F. L. have proposed the "Stagger System"
to the workers in the building industry.
In Local 905, 400, 848 and other painters locals
affiliated to the Brotherhood of Painters where
the "Stagger System has been proposed in the
form of 2o-hour week with reduction in
wages, the workers following the leadership of
the Trade Union Unity League, have success
fully defeated this scheme to "Stagger' the
workers. In its place the workers are demand
ing shorter work day with increase in
wages and unemployment insurance

months. A committee of three was to consider
applicants for unemployment relief.
The defeat of these fake plans of "unemploy-
ment relief as well as the defS of numerous
other A. F. L. schemes, proves that the workers
are now beginning to understand the role taken
by the A. F. L. officials in the attempts of the
bosses to place the full burden of the economic
crisis upon the backs of the working class.
Unorganized Suffer.
The unorganized building trades workers, in
Guiding tunnel, engineering construction, bridge
and alteration workers, total of $4,000 in
Greater New York, are subject to terrific speed
up low wages and great unemployment. For
years these unorganized building trades workers
were refused organization by the A. F. L. These
workers now correctly realize that the A. F. L.
will not and cannot organize the unorganized
building trades workers and that it is impossible
to transform the A. F. L. company unions into
trade unions of the workers instruments Of
struggle against the bosses
The unorganized building trades workers as
we'll as the building workers within the A. F. L.
unions, now begin to realize that only the Trade
Union Unity League, the new revolutionary
trade union center, organizes and leads the
workers into struggle for higher wages, better
conditions and unemployment insurance.

It was also said at the depart

certain that Harold Brewster, the
soldier now locked up in the Al

murder, had no connection with

questioning in the case. Brewster

investigation is taking beyond the
fact already known. that there is

Positively Identified
The gun was identified as the
murder weapon by the Bureau
of Standards after careful tests
had been made by the ballistics
expert. There is mo reasonable
doubt" that it is the same one
which the killer held close to
Mary Baker, firing three times.

man they now seek in 48 States

BILL IS GIVEN
FAVORABLE
REPORT
Report Legion Opposition to
Measure Dropped in Favor
of Presidential Proposal

President Hoover won another
round in his battle with Con-
gress for enactment Of limited
World War pension act when the
Senate Finance Committee today
favorably reported the Admins
tration'S bill.
The Presidents opposition to
giving pensions to veterans dis
abled by their own wilful mis-
conduct was sustained by the
committee by a vote of IL to 8.
The committee also refused by
the same vote to give Spanish
American War pension rates to
the veterans of the last war.
AS reported the bill would cost
$31 ,0O0,O the first year with
annual increases up to $50, ,000, 900
in 1895.
The fo,'z "big points" Of the Ad-
ministrGtion bill would provide:
1. Straight pe4lSiorS from $12 to
$40 a month to disabled veterans
who served 80 days in the World
War, only If they paid no income
tax last year.
Allowances to Dependents
2. Dependency allowances of
$50 a month to father or mother,
or $50 to both, of deceased vet
eranS, even though allowance is
paid to veterans widow or family.
3. Compensation Of $25 a m nth
to any veteran, who lost hand or
foot in active service, in addition
to all other allowances.
4. Minimum arbitrary rating Of
25 per cent partial permanent dis
ability for al veterans, having ar
rested or apparently cured tuber-
culoSis. This rating would enable
q veteran, so claSSed, to gain
greater compensation if suffering
from any other disability.
Presumptive Clauses Cut
: All the "presumptive origin"
features we're eliminated from the
new bill. Some Of the features in
the substitute American Legion
bill would provide:
Declaration of presumptive SER
vice origin for all constitutional
and chronic diseases, from which
veterans we're suffering prior to
July l, 1928. The vetoed bill
would have extended this date to
July, 1880.
Payment of $50 a month pen
sion to veterans having arrested
tuberculosis.
Allowance Of compensation to
veterans, disabled by their own
misconduct only if disabled while
in active service.
The pension bill alone blocked
adjournment. All other legisla-
tion, in which Administration lead
ers desire to act, has been passed
through. A large number of minor
bills probably will be jammed
through in the closing days.
