Call Cuban General Strike;
Machado Hoavls Against Reds

Havana dispatches telling Of a
general strike to take place Tuesday
at six p. m, indicate the terrific
tenseness of the political crisis and
reveal q great revolutionary upsurge
among the toiling masses. The last
general strike of March, 1890. was
participated in by 100000 workers.
The strike was voted by the trade
unions in their membership meetings,
each union voting separately. but
each showing the same resentment
at further continuance of the fascist
white terror of the Machado govern
ment
Two months ago, the national con-
gress, composed almost entirely Of
tools of Machado, authorizes the
suspension Of civil rights" or mar
tial law, for sixty days. Monday, the
CONGRESS gave Machado the author
ity" to continue martial law, and the
strike vote was the result.
T!ia general strike is called for "24
hours or more" and is reported to
make the continued martial law the

FURNITURE BACK
Evicted Man Arrested
for "Noise;;" Freed

NEW YORK.--Amello Luongo of
No. Goerick ST., lower East Side,
came into the meeting of the Down
Town Council of the Unemployed at
81 E. Fourth st. yesterday and said
his furniture had been thrown out
on the sidewalk.
The eneire council went right down
and put it back in the house again.
Then the landlord had Luongo ar
rested for making a disturbance"
The magistrate at Second Ave. and
Second st. had to dismiss that
charge, but told Luongo: Just the
same you have to move" The Down
Town Council is just as determined
that this unemployed tailor shall not
be thrown out, and that the matter
rests, temporarily, with Luongo still
in the house.
Peter Krane, the man who was
sent scabbing by the Annex Employ
ment Agency at 1851 Sixth Ave, and
was refused his So fee back when he
refused to take the job, will have his
hearing on the return of the fee to-
day at 10:45 a. m. In the license
bureau at No. Reade st. The DOWN
Town Council calls all unemployed
workers to come down to the bureau
to see what kind of deal the Tam
many officials will give Krane.

Zx-.,s.-l - On s5rise against a
fourteen cent .rsge cut ordered
" a boz ,.orS ion headed by
Dr. Joseph Il. v lifts of the Univer-
1ity of Penn. yania. The rank and
file never c3rsad to any arbitration.
The Strike has been sabotaged for q
month by the officials of the United
Textile Workers, and the employers
have issued statements that mas
much as President McNIahon, and
Vice Presidents Kelly and German
refuse to recognize the strike, it will
&c easy to get an injunction pro-
hlbiGing the payment OF strike bene-
IS from even the local union
treasury.
Kelly and MacMahon are refusing
70 far to say anything now. Previ-
ouGly they ordered the workers not
. sJrike and threatened to dissolve
5ho kensington local if they did.
Italf of the 1000 upholstery tex
tile workers here have had the wage
cut rescinded, and did not strike.
The strike was forced by the work
ers over the strenuous opposition OF
United Textile Workers officials and
in spite of all their tricks, because
the workers already have such low
wages they can hardly exist after
cut. The arguments and leaflets of
the National Textile Workers Union
for a policy of striking against the
wage cuts undoubtedly had great in
fluence.

means war against the debenture
form of farm relief, and anything
approaching the dole" for relief
of unemployment. 1t was accepted
though as an endorsement of un

stabilization of employment.

While the American business
men offered no immediate pros

Governor Francisco Elias of Son

entering the Arizona State Baseball
League this year if the team can
be properly financed.
Personally, would be willing to
back up the team all can and I
have a lot of friends who have told
me that they would help, too, said
the governor just before his depar-
ture Monday for Hermosillo follow
ing few days stay on the border.
1T would take about $4,000 to
run the team this season should
Nogales become a member of the

even more so than is either Tucson

The accident in which Mrs. Lee,
we'll known in Nogales, lost her life
occurred when her son Arthur was
getting ready to pass southbound
car. Just as he was about to pass
that car the driver of another au-
tomobile parked on the side of the
road with it's lights out suddenly
turned on his lights. Lee, in order
to avoid a collision, seeing that
he could not pass between the two
cars, quickly applied his brakes and
the Lee car turned over.
A badly fractured skull and pos
sible internal injuries caused the
woman's death before medical aid
could be given her. Her son was
injured and was taken to Tucson
hospital but was able to leave the
place and attend his mothers fun
eral yesterday.

"The fifth son of the King of
England is in one of those Pull
mans, said an American govern
ment officer to a representative of
the Nogales International Saturday
afternoon as he pointed to the
Southern Pacific passenger train a.
bout ready to pull out for Tucson.
Given that hot tip The Inter-
national reporter quickly got on the
trail of the distinguished visitor
who turned out, however to be the
Duke of Sutherland and not d son
of King George.
The reporter found the man from
the British Isle all alone in a state
room. The door to the room was
wide open and the Duke, with his
feet propped up on a seat, was
asleep. Two or three knocks on the
door aroused him and he said
'come in.
We didn't know for sure we were
in the presence of the man we
were looking for until he introduced
himself. Even before that, however,
we knew by the way he talked that
he was an EngliShman.
Someone just told us that you
are a son of the King of England
and a brother of the Prince of
Wales, we said to the Duke. This
brought a smile and he quickly re-
piled: That's mistake. However
I am distantly related, through
marriage, to the royal family and
they are very good friends of mine"
! His Full Name
/ The most difficult thing in in
terviewing the Duke was to learn
his full name. He replied several
times: Il am the Duke Of Suther-
land. Finally he spelled out his
name as follows: George Leveson-
Cover, and said he was just re-

Legion Membership
Shows Big Growth

Membership total of Ridge-Igo
Post of the American Legion so far
in 1881 is far in excess of what it

Mr.. Conner also said there is to
be state conference of command
ers and adjutants at Phoenix the
latter part of this week and from
all indications Nogales is in good
line for a citation from the stand
point of membership.
The local post is very desirous
that all members of the Legion or
Auxiliary who have not paid their
1881 dues do so by Wednesday OF
this week, so that the Nogales post
will make a good showing at the
judging in Phoenix.
