the court ruled, that there is no
description in these proceedings of
the piece of land desired by the
highway department"
Riney Salmon of Phoenix, an as
sistant Attorney General, appeared
in court in behalf of the highway
department, and Attorneys Duane
Bird and Thomas Hall for the
Bayze Estate.
The land in question, which is
holding up work that is badly need
ed if the new road is not to be wash
ed away, consists of three acres. At
the scene is a large cottonwood tree
which, following few more floods,
will wash away, in fact, the entire
three acres involved will undoubted-
ly be swept out in a short time.
Situated on the land is a small
refreshment stand operated by the
Bayze people.
At noon yesterday, following Judge
O'Connor's denial of the applica-
ton Of the highway departments
application, the case was back to
just where it was before it started.
According to reports the Bayze
people want the highway depart
ment to pay them $1,000 for the
land involved in the controversy.
There is also a report that they
want $4,000 and another report that
the highway department offered to
compromise for $500.
Who Owns Land?
While all this controversy RACES it
was stated yesterday by local man
who knows a lot about law that
the land in reality belongs to the
Southern Pacific railroad, as a re-
suit of the Patagonia supreme court
decision some years ago.
In the Patagonia case the rail-
road sued the late Col. r. R. Rich
ardson and the supreme court de-
cided that the original congression-
al grant to the New Mexico & Ari-
zona Railroad Company from Ben
son to Nogales was 100 feet each
way from the center of the rail-
roads rightofway. At that time all
the land was public domain, there

cent lawsuit started is property of

Democratic Leadership Gave
Congress Good Record

All obstacles Notwithstanding, the Congress did
not shirk from courageous action in balancing the
budget in passing the relief measures which the Dem
ocrats introduced, as well as the economy bill.
In their final forms these bills were the result Of
many compromises, but in general they constituted
an effort to tackle the problems of the depression
manfuly and were in notable contrast with the mac
ton Of Congress while the Republicans controlled
both houses
Had not Democratic leadership asserted itself,
the reluctance Of the Republicans to admit the plain
facts of the depression might undoubtedly have made

1t Amt The Tariff, Its Only The Depression

At last here is almost a kind word for the Hawley-
Smoot tariff Speaking before the Institute of Public
Affairs at the University of Virginia. George c. Eder,
formerly with the Latin American section Of the De-
1880 was responsible for only 1919 of the falling off in
trade with South and Central America. The other
500 loss is due cny to the well known depression he
said.

EXPECT US. Steel to Announce
Third Wage Cut in a FeeV Days

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 14.-The
third wage-cut in twenty months, af-
fecting 20S,674 workers of the Uni
ted States Steel Company, was an
nOunced here yesterday.
In 1881 two cuts were forced upon
the workers. A first cut of Is per
cent was enforced in August, red
ucing the wages of all Salaried en-
plOyees who received over 81 800 a
year. A second one of 10 per cent
affecting all wage earners, except a
few who were employed under ser
vice agreements" was made in Oc-
tober.
The cut just announced will red
uce wages to the extent Of Is per
cent. That means that from 40 cents
per hour wages will be reduced to
less than IS cents.
But this is not all. The Company
has rearranged and concentrated
plant operations in the most iEu-
portant units, reducing the working
force. This means that unemploy-
ment was increased while the real
wages of the workers still employed
were reduced by frightening of the
working day and increased intensity

us. TO MAINTAIN
FLEET IN PACIFIC

A Washington dispatch reports
that the entire United States fleet
may be kept in the Pacific 'indef-
initely." The State Department is
said to have suggested that the navy
should not return the scouting fleet
to the Atlantic. This indicates that
the concentration Of the U. s. fleet,
which was carried through under the
vancouver at Hawaii, is to be con-
pretext of a joint army and navy
tinued.
This decision reflects the enorm-
ously sharpened antagonisms between
Japanese and United States imper-
ialiSm in the struggle over the loot
in China and for domination OF the
Far East. The fleet concentration
in the Pacific would also facilitate
any decision by the United States for
joint armed Intervention with the
other imperialist powers against the
Soviet Union.
The Washington dispatch admits
that virtually all seaworthy YES
sells of the Navy. says some sub
marine and miscellaneous vessels,
are now concentrated In the Paci-
fic."
A few days ago the U. S. fleet
carried out vancouver in the Pacific
which was shrouded in the greatest
secrecy.

METALCO.
CUTS WAGES lOPC.
Workers of Brooklyn
Plant Talk Fight

That the wage cuts in a number of
metal shops reported in the Daily
Worker Of Tuesday, April IL, are the
signal for new campaign of wage
slashes throughout the metal indus
try, is proven by an announcement
of 10 per cent reduction for the
workers of the American Machine
and Foundry.
The company normally employs
5000 workers but now has about 300
on the payroll, working in shifts of
two weeks out of every month, 7
hours a day. Wages average Toe an
hour, in many cases are as low as
55c and 6oc; doing the same work as
the rest. When the workers are
through at $50 p. m. the foremen
remain inside doing the workers
jobs.
The American Machine and Foun-
dry is one Of the largest corporations
Of its kind in the country; it controls
the Industrial Machinery Co. and al
most the entire capital stock as also
most of the common and preferred
stock Lakewest Corp, American
oven az Machinery Co. and Martin
Miller, baking machinery producing
plant. The Brooklyn plant where
the wage cut took place, produces all
kinds Of cigar and cigarette making
and general commercial machinery
such as weighing packages, wrapping,
oto-composing machines, etc.
This company has reported a con-
tinuous increase, in annual net
profits, the highest returns being
recorded for the year 1880, Even in
1881 1t showed an unusually favor
able balance, with current assets
being six times greater than current
liabilities, and amounting to
working capital Of million dollars.
To date dividends have been reg
ularly paid to shareholders. This,
the bosses have been able to do by
speeding up the workers to the ut

by mass lay-offs and now by reducing
the already low wages of the workers.
The workers, now working on the

and in this way averaging around
$l4 to SIS a week, will feel hard hit
by this cit and already are talking
among themselves Of taking steps to

Ban on Hitler's Troops Step
Towards His Entering Govt

may sound paradoxical, but 1t is true
that the Hitler storm attachments
have been suppressed in order to
pave the Wy Of the fascists into
the government. Every German
knows that the government is more
or less dependent upon France. The
latter has no objection to Hitler
since he, Hitler, has capitulated on
the war debt question, but feared
Hitler's participation in the govern
ment and the resultant disappoint-
ment of the fascist masses might
cause a revolt amongst the storm
attachments and begin new mass
move towards Bolshevism."
The Rote Fahne further declared
that Hitler is not averse to the sup
preston of the storm attachments
since they are becoming politically
dangerous. This suppression does
not mean an end of fascist terror
against the workers. Hitler's entry
into the government means a
strengthening of the anti-Soviet
elements in the German foreign pol
icy.
Both the Berliner Tageblatt and
Zwoelfuhrblatt confirm the conten-
ton that Hitler IS not averse to the
suppression of the storm detach-
ments owing to the fact that the
latter are becoming politically dam
gerous. The financial problem OF
maintaining the storm attachments
was becoming intolerable owing to
the fact that several hundred thou
sand marks daily were needed for
its up-keep.
The Rote Fahne in an editorial
points to the gentlemanly fashion
in which the storm attachments
were suppressed, without any arrests
having been made.
Brunswick, Saxony and Bremen
have not yet made any efforts to
enforce the suppression order The
authorities agree to take over and
care for the disbanded storm mem
bers where the latter are without any
means.

serves as an historical background,
showing just what it was that fin
ally led to the gigantic upheaval In

AS late in the worlds history as

middle ages in Europe, existed in
Russia under the rule of the Cars

postponed until spring so he could
spend May Day in Moscow.
Following the drive in which Com
rade Gerber won his trip, the cir

ond contest now under way to close
October Is, has as its aim 5000 new

CUBAN POLITICAL
PRISONERS PLAN
HUNGER STRIKE
Protest Removal of
Comrades to Hellish
Island

1862 political prisoners in the Cas-
tillo Del Principe jail in Cuba are
to 60 on a hunger strike as pro-
test against the threatened removal
of some of the leading comrades TO
the medieval hell-hole-Isle de Pinos.
On April the political prisoners
demanded separation from the Grim
inal prisoners as a safeguard against
being beaten and even killed by the
criminal prisoners at the instigation
of the prison authorities. The po-
litical prisoners also demanded bet
ter food and no hard labor.
During the inside demonstration
for these demands the prisoners
broke down the wall separating them
from the criminals and rescued those
politicals who were still held with the
criminals.
For this the authorities have
placed the political prisoners in SOL
itary confinement, but the prisoners
pressed for theirdenlands. The au-
thorities finally consented to grant
all demands but evidently not in
tending to carry them out. They
planned to deport the more militant
to the Isle de Pinos and then take
all rights away from the prisoners.
The politicals will not stand for
this and will go on a hunger-strike
as soon as the authorities begin to
carry out their threats.
The International Labor Defense
calls upon all workers and workers
organizations to rally to the support
of our Cuban victims, victims of
Wall Street and Machado terror.
Send protest resolutions and tele-
grams to Secretario de Governacion,
Havana, Cuba.
Demand the release of all political
prisoners of Cuba!
