Protest Murder of Workers
in Cuba!

Comrade Wong was preparing an open letter
to the Chinese workers in America for a de-
termine1 fight against u S. imperialism and
its native agents, Machado, Chang Kai-shek
and others. To the revolutionary workers.
butcher Machado is no less brutal and eff
cient than his brother, Chang Kai-shek of
China, in sucking the blood of workers and
serving the interests of their imperialist mas
ters To label the murder of Comrade Wong
as suicide for fear of Chang Kai-sheks pnr-
secution, is an ugly and cowardly lie of the
hangman, Machado.
The cold-blooded murder of Comrade Wong
is part Of the terrorist campaign of Wall Street
bosses and their Cuban agents against the
workers. There are about 70 militant workers
facing the same imminent danger. And still
more will fall victims of the bloody Machado
white terror. We workers in the United
States must organize powerful campaign to
protest this brutal murder and demand the i'm
mediate unconditional release of the imprs-
onei workers. We must wage a determined
fight against the butcher campaign of Wall
Street and Machado.

Comrade Wong was also the secretary of
the Cuban Branch of the All-America Chinese
Anti-Imperialst Alliance. The Alliance is
modifying the Chinese workers in America to
join the protest campaign of the American
workers against the white terror of u S. i'm
periasm and its fascist dictators in Latin
America and in China.
The Sacco-Vanzetti memorial demonstrations
on August % must demand also the end of
Machado's regime of murder against the work
ers of Cuba!

Closely exposed, too is the role of the capt.

race with the stigma of nferiority, and in
making it criminal for Negro and white work
ers to fraternze with each other. Here is
sharply depicted the fear of the bosses that,
unless divided by prejudice and hatred,
the white and Negro workers would get to-

oppressors.

Building Work Do1Vn

The official labor report for the month
of June dealing specifically with building in
dustry is compelled to state:
During the month of June permits were
issued in 45 Illinois cities for a total of
2,483 buildings with an estimated cost of
$1O,676,951. This is a decline in estimated
valuation of 42.2 per cent from the May total,
and a decline of $40 per cent from the total
for June year ago. The total expenditure
authorized in Chicago during the month
dropped sharply from the May figure, the
decrease amounting to 59.2 per cent. Chicago,
in fact, is mainly responsible for the decrease
in valuation from the May figures, as the
combined figure for the rest of the state
was only slightly less than in May. The de-
cline in valuation in Chicago this June COM
pared to June last year was CAL per cent
likewise great decline than that reported
by the rest of the state"

Proposed Law Would Place

BY WILLIAM TURNSON

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 22-Ari-
zona as competitor of Nevada in
the business of convenient and
rapid divorces was envisioned by
state legislators today in laying
plans for bill reducing the required
legal residence period to ninety
days.
The Arizona solons mentioned
such matters of local pride as the
winter climate and the lure of the
desert in picturing Phoenix as the
new Reno of America, and said they
anticipated little opposition in
passing the measure at the next ses-
sion of the legislative assembly,
opening Jan. IL.
Similar to Nevada Law
State Senator c. C. Crenshaw of
NogaleS is fathering the proposed
bill, which, if passed, would make it
legal for nonresidents of Arizona to
gain citizenship in this state, so far
as divorce is concerned, in three
months.

Enactment of the law would

said. Because of Arizona'S superior

1t was pointed out that during
the past few years Arizona had at
tracted several prominent persons
of the nation who sought divorces.
Leslie P. Arnold, around-the-world
army f1ier, now has a suit pending
in superior court against Mildred

proposed new law, it is said, and
they are expected to back the

out as unknowns in search of fame.
Gary Cooper is going back to
Montana, taking Eugene Palette

Mack Brown, who hasn't been home
for three years. Lew AyreS will be
in San Diego with his mother.
Greta Carlo, the silent, yearns
for Sweden, but instead she will
have to accept a California noun
tain top. Maureen OSullivan must
be content with a telephone call to
the folks in Dublin.
New York will call Douglas Fair
banks Jr. and his Mrs.-Joan Craw-
ford-for visit to their mothers.
Winnie Lightner is to spend the
holidays in Gotham with her
daughter.
James Rennie is going to join
his wife, Dorothy Gish. Bound in

ReverSes Position and win
Advocate Reserve Funds
for Slack Times.

By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.-The
American Federation of Labor, ac-
cording to Edward p. McGrady, its
general organizer and legislative
representative, will go on record
next month as supporting establish
ment of reserve funds" by en-
ployers, state and government
agencies for the benefit of workers
in slack times.
If McGrady's plan, announced by
him Sunday night, is carried out it
will he a reversal of the A. F. of L..
previous position against unemploy-
ment insurance. McGrady said COM
plete details of the plan would be
announced in January at the fed
eration's quarterly executive council
meeting at Miami
U. S. Share 50 Per Cent
The federation's scheme, to be
presented in congressional bill,
calls for an unemployment fund to
be raised in all industrial plants
through contributions by employers
and the government. The govern
ment's share probably would be
so per cent and would be raised
from income and inheritance tax.
When McGrady was asked
whether the scheme actually meant
unemployment insurance, he an
swered, you may call it that"
Announcement Is Surprise
"The wage Garner" McGrady told
the Labor Institute forum, has
the same right to security of en-
ployment that the stockholder has
to the security of dividend pay
ments. Both make investments in
the industry. just as reserves are
accumulated to secure dividends to
the stockholders, there also should
be guarantees that part of these re-
serves would be set aside to protect
the workers when slack times come
to that industry"
McGrady's announcement proved
surprise, since the A. F. of L.
steadfaStly has expressed its oppo-
sition to various unemployment in
Surance plans.

Divergent Views Of Teachers and

bridged.

All is not serene in efforts being made
to perfect q system of education by
radio because of the divergent views
Of the teaching profession and the
radio industry.
There is no immediate prospect Of
having the entire Nation sitting as
one huge class, as was envisioned
both by educators and broadcasters
just a. short time back, according to
the advisory committee on education
appointed nearly q year ago by Sccre-
tary of the Interior Wilbur. The

tives of the stations and the broad
casters cannot see the listener in

tional programs proposed by the
teachers.
In a report to Secretary Wilbur, the
committee states, there are grave
doubts" as to whether the common
ground ever will be reached. There are
cross-purposes and misunderstanding.
To obtain the benefits of large au-
diences, high power and preferred wave
lengths which the commercial stations
offer, coupled with the educational skill
Of the teaching group, concessions must
be made by both groups-and they
have not.
