ACTIVITY IN BUILDING

1.-THE building industry is the one to
which most observers look for the first
signs of an impending recovery due to
its close dependence on the money mar
ket," says the forecaster of the Brook
mire Economic Service in survey OF
the building situation.
Building projects undertaken during
the first quarter of the year have, no
doubt, been Influenced by the decline
in money rates and the Hoover cam
paign to speed up construction. Public
works and utilities, especially road
building, have been provided for on a
great scale and some large industrial

MASS REVOLT Is
in THE MAKING
IN VENEZUELA
General Oil Strike in
Meme Grand Fields

NEW YORK-Cab1e reports trans
mitted to Balboa, Canal Zone, from
Maracaibo, Venezuela, state that a
mass revolt Is brewing In Venezuela
against the dictator Gomez and his
hackers, the Royal Dutch Shell Oil
Co. and the Standard Oil CO.
A general strike has broken out in
the Meme Grande oil fields of the
Royal Dutch Shell Co. The imne-
date cause of the strike, according
to the meagre reports, is the dis
charge of 500 to 600 workers. De-
spite the vicious terror of the Gomez
regime, the workers are preventing
the oil companies from carrying out
any work until their demands are
aeceded to.
At the same time reports from
the state of zuilia, suppressed in the
Venezuelan press, declare that at
tempts were made to assassinate
Vincenzio Perez Soto, president of
the State of Zuilia, and a tool of
Gomez. Several shots we're fired,
and the presidents bodyguard were
assaulted.
Venezuela is the leading oil pro-
ducing country in the world. There
is sharp battle going on between
the Royal Dutch-Shell British and
the Standard Oil, with Gomez, the
dictator, balancing between both. and
making huge fortunes out of the ex-
ploitation of the rich oil lands.
The workers live under the worst
reign of terror ever known in Latin
America. Thousands have been put
to death in Gomez's dungeons after
being inhumanly tortured. The en-
tire population is seething with re-
volt, as the workers and peasants
have been reduced to the most mis-
cradle conditions imaginable. Gomez
ha@ been able to maintain his re-
gin1e only by means of his vicious
terror and wholesale murders and
jailings.

to give bail to the International La

The decision of the Civil Liberties

of up to 20 years were imposed upon
them by the Courts of North Carolina

southern millowners. Roger Baldwin,

NEW YORK.-The Smash The In

Union Unity Council goes on with
the necessary organization work to
continue the effective mass violation
of the injunctions against picketing.
All workers in shops, and particularly
all unemployed workers, are urged to
stand ready for the next call to de-
fiance by mass picketing of the in
functions by which the bosses and
A. F. of L. combine now to use the
courts against every strike for better
conditions.
Last Thursdays demonstration was
a success, though SO we're arrested
and IS of them are in Jail, waiting
trial today or tomorrow under Para
graph 600 of the state code, a Sec
ton which provides penalties for
violations of an injunction. They are
militant and have sent a telegram to
the Trade Union Unity Council from
their cells in Jail, where they are
awaiting the railroading before the
curious New York court of special
sessions, which sentences workers to
anything up to three years without
trial by jury The statement Of the
35 is as follows:
"We, the group arrested on the
picket line Thursday before the. Eel

with you in spirit. Keep up the fight
against injunctions until it is won.
