IIdNdWd, jail. 10, lJoI
| Mr.. Juan Clemente Vivanco.
Secretary of the Interior,
Havana, Cuba.
Distinguished Friend:
AS a cuban citizen and wish
ing to ay6id further disgrace to
our country, | am bringing to
your attention the deplorable
conditions now existing. Nc
you will agree with my
views due to your zealousness
in unfolding the prestige and
dignity of oar country and hav-
ing been one who enlisted in the
legion that fought for its freed
ON.
There are many complaints
and protests reaching me, of
acts committed on our most res
pectable ladies, that affronts
bur civilization; A group of
women of a low standing in So
|ciety, stationed around the Pres
idential Palace, armed and per-
~fidiously prepared by miserable
men of their class, to assault
and attack the ladies of our
best class, who sustain these OF
those doctrines or political solu-
tons of the moment, brutally
wounding and tearing down
their clothes, leaving them al
most naked amid our streets,
without the police showing any
desire to respond to the calls for
help, and stop the outrages max
ing apprehensions as in other
cases, taking the guilty ones for
punishment for such ignomi-
NOUS acts that are causing am
cement in this city. Every
lome is alarmed to see these
olerated offences to ladies tha'
walk the streets of our capita
ity. These acts were never reg
stored in the annals of our his
tory, not even during the time
of the excess of hate and drunk
ness of the Colonial volunteers.
1t would be justifiable if dis
orders be repressed, aggression
repealed, end even, that the gov
eminent may hold persistently,
to positions acquired, fastening
20 them with all the resources
that strength may allow against
violent attacks that would off
end. but it it is inconceivable,
execlable, that a group of wo-
men of the lowest type, be or
gained for those e~spectacles of
infamy that fills this society
with an anguish shame and sad
ness the national feeling.
NJ matter how perverse and
vulgar a government may be,
the suspicion Of being inspir-
ator of such yillanous actions,
properly of brothels, would be
considered as a great injury in
flicted, such suspicious are very
far from my mind, and believe
that such plans and its scandal
Gus executions is the work OF
salaried men from the lowest
social estraction. But it Is i'm
periously dutiable of the gov
eminent, not to stay inactive
and solve with great zeal and
diligence, the prosecution of
such instigators and actors, set
ting an example that will prove
the inexistency Of completely
and showing with the stricness
of the weight of the law, that
the authorities are repulsed
with their repugnant actions.
Whatwill strange visitors say
OF US?
Imagine the indignation the
acts exposed will produce you
and know that your heart will
ache; due TO the representation
that | have and moreover as a
citizen If thia land ask YOU To

SECOND MILLINER
ON STRIKE
Shops Join Forces To
, Fight Bosses

Inspired by the actions of the
trimmers Of C. J. Engel, AZ w. 80
St, the trinlmers of the A. H. Rosen
working in the same building also
went On strike Friday morning.
For weeks some of the workers in
A. H. Rosen have been of the opin-
ion that it is necessary to organize
the shop under the leadership of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union, in order to fight back the
tremendous wage cuts that have
taken place this season.
About ten days ago workers were
fired. Realizing that this firing was
an attempt to terrorize the remain
ing workers against fighting the ter
ribly low wages, a stoppage was cal
led to which every one of the trim
mers responded. In less than half
an hour these trimmers were re-
instated and the workers back at
work. Rosen tried to freeze out some
Of the most active participants in
this stoppage by not giving them
work. This manoueYer did not sue
coed however.
On Friday, the committee ell
ected by the meeting of trimmers
held the night before demanded
price increases, equal division of
work, prices to be made through
a price committee elected by the
workers, protection of the job. and
recognition of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union. When
this was refused all the workers
walked out.
The strike is now in full swing.
The workers of the Engel and Rosen
shops met together, elected a joint
strike committee and are conducting
their picketing side by side. This is
one of the most important strikes
in the organization drive of the
headwear department of the Indus
trial Union.
The company union, Local "a, has
already come to the assistance of the
employers of the Engel shop by send
ing in a number 70 their members
to do scab work. All millinery work
ers, particularly operators and block
ers, members of Locals "a and AZ
are called upon to stop this scabbing
of their locals.
All millinery workers are urged to
come to the picket line on Monday
morning, even though it is Labor
Day, as the scabs and many mil
liners employed in the building will
be going to work.

At the Major Silk Mill on Pat

was paying $35 a week demanded by
the strikers. When the workers got
to work, however, they found that he
was only paying So cents instead Of
the cents price which the workers
must have if they are going to make
S35 a week. He promised to pay the
full prices as soon as the strike was
won and all Of the workers we're get
ting the full price. On hearing this
the workers went out on strike again.

PATERSON, N. J., Sept. 4.-The
mobilization for today's conference
was the chief point on the order OF
business Of the membership meeting
81 the NTWU last night. J. Rubin,
secretary of the Strike Committee
analysed the strike situation and
clearly exposed the strike breaking
tactics Of the AFL leaders. The chief
lieutenants of the AT of L leaders
in the betrayal of the workers are the
renegades from the Communist Party
such as Citlow, Zimmerman, Keller,
etc. The main form of the strike
breaking activity of the A F Of L
leaders st the present time is send
ing the workers back to work on fake
settlements or with no settlements
at all. The conference today is OF
paramount Importance since rank
and file unity is the only means by
which the strike can be won for all
of the workers. The discussion after
the report of Rubin showed the
workers to be in full agreement with
the policies and tactics followed by
the NTWU.
NTWU Settlements Stand
A delegation of twelve workers was
elected from the floor to represent
the union at the conference. The ap-
pointment Of Sam Appel by the I'M
ion executive to be organizer Of the
settled shops was unanimously ap-
proved by the membership meeting
The check-up which Appel has thus
far made Of the settled shops shows
that the terms OF the settlements are
being maintained in al Of them, in
contrast to the fake settlements of
the a F of L unions.
The constitution Of the union pro-
vides that the executive should be
based on elections from the shops.
Since this is very difficult in the pre-
sent situation Of the strike a COM
promise form was temporarily adop-
ted. The meeting elected new eX-
ecutive consisting of twenty-saven
workers. as soon as shop else ions
can be conducted repre-a1 'a.ives
from the shops will be added to the
executive. At the nesting a dele
cation was also elected to attord the
national conference Of the union at
Boston on Sept and 6.
Uncover More Fake Settlements.
Mere fake settlements which have
been negotiated by the UTW are
gradually being uncovered. The
workers at the Susco Silk Co. on
Manhattan Street returned to work
on Monday with an agreement for
5ia cents for so picks. whereas the
union demand is 7 cents. At the
Sterling Silk Co. in the Dunlop Mills
all of the workers are working I'M
der the union prices. The night wor-
kerS did not get the ten per cent in
crease and one worker. who was a
member of the NTWU was forced

ley workers in the spring of 1880 The
international Labor Defense, which
brought about the release of Spec
tor, by exposing the flimsy frame-up
evidence against him, is now engaged
in an energetic campaign to free the
other seven Imperial Valley defend
ants as well as Mooney and all other
class-war prisoners.
The demonstration for Mooney is
being held In connection with the
Solidarity Festival" arranged by the
Workers International Relief to raise
urgent funds for the striking, starry
ing miners of Western Pennsylvania
and Ohio.
The Mooney demonstration will at
the same time raise sharply the Is
sues involved in the struggle of the
miners in Harlan, KY, and demand
the release of the "a miners being
rushed to the electric chair on
framed-up murder charges and the
scores of miners held on criminal
syndicalism" and other equally
vague charges.
Mooney was assigned this kitchen
work as a punishment following his
scathing denunciation of former
Governor C. C. Young and the state
Supreme Court following their de-
NAL of Billings application for a
pardon in September 1880. MONEYS
case was made by the governor de-
pendent upon the action Of Billings
application for a pardon to the Cali
fornia supreme court, as means of
shifting responsibility. Then the SUI

lies, rejected the application of the
