MACHADO THROUGH,
CUBAN JUNTA SAYS
New President for Island
Republic Forecast Before
Summer Is Over.
BY WILLIAM Il. FORT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE revolution
In Cuba, which recently nared up again
after smouldering for two years, has
not been put down. It had not even
been well begun. And before the Sum-
mer is over the island republic will
have new President.
This is not an idle prediction by the
iunta Of exiled Cuban patriots In New
York Scheming the overthrow Of the
present regime. It is a calm statement
OF something inevitable to come after
three years Of work toward that end
by this band Of Cubans comprising
some Of the Islands outstanding lead
ers. They believe the goal is all but
reached.
Before many weeks derardo Machado,
dictator of Cuba, either will have re-
signed or he and his supporters will be
overthrown by rebel army which only
awaits official word from New York, ac-
eordtng to the junta.
Says Machado Is Through.
''There is no revolution yet" Dr.
Miguel M. Gomez, former mayor of Ha-
vana and one of the junta leaders, said
today. What is going on now In Cuba
is nothing more than guerilla warfare,
expressing the feeling of the people. But
there will be a revolution. Machado is
through. He will be out at least before
the end Of Summer. He has to 60 out
If Cuba is to live
AL that has been needed for q new
deal for Cuba, these revolutionaries
assert, Is tacit assurance from Wash
ington Of a desire to see the Cuban
turbulence quieted and peace restored
and an understanding that, in the
event Of decisive uprising, the United
States would not favor Intervention to
keep the present government in power.
As to whether such assurance has
been given already, none of the junta
leaders would say, but 1t has been
learned that $500,000 has been raised
in New York City for arms and am
munition. Further funds will be avail
able as needed, 1t is reported, provided
there is assurance that, once started,
the uprising will not be halted by an
oflcial frown from Washington, as was
the case two years ago. Then the out
break was halted after its leaders
learned that the Hoover administra-
tion threatened Intervention" to stop
further bloodshed.
U. s. Attitude Awaited.
The revolutionary leaders explain
that no decisive move has been made
in the present situation until Washing
IONS attitude is learned. They are
convinced, although not admitting even
an official expression of governmental
3riendlineSS and sympathy, that PreSi-
dent Roosevelt at least is not un-
friendly.
Before the final orders are issued for
the big drive on Havana the revolu-
tonaries hope for an effective step by
the Roosevelt administration solving
Cuba's muddle without bloodShed.. In
effect, this would be quiet hint to
Machado that it would be an act of
Diplomatic friendship for him to resign
GT1d allow the Cuban coalition Presi
dent to assume Office without opposi-
ton. In this way he would be told the
American Government would be saved
possible embarrassment of being forced
TO take sides or Of allowing the over
throw Of the existing government.

swer it with the usual land quite
true) exposure of the general program
of capitalism in the present crisis,
would not aid in smashing the illu-
sions which the bill has already
created and which it still will create.
The act requires specific, con-
crete answer to show up its whole
basis, and its meaning, how it will
work for the toiling masses as a
whole, how the capitalists propose to
profit by it, How much the capital
lists will gain by it in the way OF
profits, in the way of establishing a
lower level of living for the American
working class will be decided by the
nature and extent of the struggle
against it, led by the Communist
Party and the Trade Union Unity
League.
Methods of Struggle
It is necessary, by every means and
every opportunity, to stimulate
discussion on the act in every shop,
factory, mine, mill, store, on the
railroads, in which the revolutionary
workers give the lead to exposing the
bill. Do not let the workers rest con-
tent with waiting and hoping that
maybe something will come out of it.
This discussion which we must mi
tiate and direct and give tone to, as
well as our leaflets around the BILL
should avoid just general propaganda
phrases, 1t should take up concrete
sections of the bill applicable to the
workers we are addressing or leading
Particularly our discussion should
take up the action Of the Roosevelt
administration, the bosses and the A.
F. of L. under the bill as it affects a
particular section of the workers.
Every class conscious worker should
not content himself with superficial
knowledge Of the bill (such as the
capitalist press want the workers to
have) but he should dissect the bill
in connection with the whole crisis
program of Wall Street under the
Roosevelt regime. Every Communist
and member Of the revolutionary
trade unions should be the best in
terpreter of the bill and be able to
answer the concrete questions OF the
daily struggle that the workers will
put to them.
The action of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, eliminating at this time
in the industry act, recognizes that
there is vast ferment among the

FIT. ARTHUR, SAN PEDRO, CAL
Being late member Of the Civilian
Conservation Corps. and having had
a months experience in camp, can't
reconcile my experiences in the C.C.C.
with the stories they are printing
daily in the capitalist press.
When I enlisted they assured me
and my friends that there was Moth
ing military connected with the C.C.C.
Yet we were not in the camp more
than 10 minutes when the hardboiled
army officers in charge gave us to
understand that we were in the army
now, and that we were not to forget
it.
There was considerable discussion
about this among the boys. 1 tried to
point out the great necessity of their
keeping together and forming some
kind of rank and file control The
officers soon began to notice the ag
itation, and they spotted me as a
red"
Court Martialed for Agitation
AS soon as their suspicious became
strengthened I was arrested and i'm
prisoned in the guardhouse and then
tried before the commanding officers,
who questioned me for hours. For
evidence they produced papers and
correspondence stolen from my bar
rack bags. They found me guilty and
I was Immediately discharged on the
grounds of unsatisfactory work"

Demand for recognition of shop
committees elected by the workers
and of the unions which they set
up.
In the steel mills, auto factories
and coal mines, where the big trusts
are trying to set up new and more
stringent company unions, we must
increase agitation for the workers to
set up their own union organizations,
using these fake rights which the
and of the unions which they set
bill is supposed to give the work
ers, and exposing every effort of the
bosses to keep the workers from
organizing, showing up the real in
tent Of the bill.
No general program of struggle can
apply in every industry. A special
program of struggle should be drawn
up around and against the bill in
every industry. Every shop must have
its special program around wage dis
cussions. The bosses very cleverly
split up the wage schedules, dividing
more and more skilled and unskilled,
young and adult, Negro and white In
some instances the spread of wages
is increased in order to further this
division and to keep the workers in
one shop or industry from common
action. The A. F. of L., with its
skilled core, in some industries, tries
to intensity this division.
In the A. F. of L. we must take up
struggle tor an immediate revision
of all wage scales, demanding in
creased scale of wages, putting for
ward the idea that the workers not
the bosses, should take the initia-
tive in drawing up wage scales, and
exposing the willingness of the yellow
leaders to allow the bosses the initia-
tive in this respect. We should de-
mand special local meetings, in
view OF the emergency, to discuss
new wage scales, exposing the danger
Of company unions and the role of
the yellow leaders. We should put
forward the demand for broad,
elected rank and file negotiation
committees.
Above all, in the basic industries,
we, must call on all workers to set
up their own organizations, to build

and Metal Workers Industrial union

Should draw up demands for the va

to the workers for the widest dis
cussion and action in the shops.
Around these discussions, meetings
should be organized, leaflets drawn

AS the action of the bosses around
the bill proceeds further, every effort
will be made to suppress the revolu-

revolutionary leaders of the workers,
as first step to stimulating the adj

Efforts will be made TO isolate the

trating the attack on them for viola

bosses reason, will make it easier
to put over their wage plans. With
Roosevelt as titular head of the in

ARTICLE vi

Before discussing the public works
section of the industrial recovery bill,
Title III, it will be necessary at this
point first to take up some tactical
questions in the struggle against the
labor sections of the bill.
General Hugh S. johnson, lad
ministrator" of the act, is already re-
quired to do some tall explaining to
keep the workers quiet. He instructed
the employers that they should take
the initiative in the wage codes. They
are to go on as they always have in
the past in their policy towards the
workers and in their struggle for pro-
fits. He told them they need pay no
attention to the collective bargaining
Squib or other labor tomfoolery in
the recovery act. They have Labor
Advisory Board to take care of that
Conflicts increasing.
General johnson admitted class
antagonisrns were sharpening. He
put it in this roundabout way: I'm
the first place there has recently
been unfortunate and ill-intormed
conjecture that there is some mutual
fear between labor and industry
which has slowed up the preparation
of industrial agreements for submits
sion to the president"
He told the workers not to ask to
participate in discussion and strug-
giles over the setting of their wage
rates, over hours and conditions. He
wants them to remain silent, ODE
dent, hogtied while the bosses de-
ternine how they shall live, eat,
slave, if they get job; and how they
shall starve when new millions are
added to the ranks of the 100000
without work.

ers is to allow themselves uncon-
ciously and insidiously, to be filled

now accompany the putting of the
bill into action. Experience should

toiling population. Particularly, this
ferment has struck the basic indus
tries, such as steel, coal, automobiles,
textiles, building, etc. AS the result
of imitation, which itself has given
the workers wage slash of from 10
to 20 percent, struggles were arising.
Further imitation means further cuts
and the perspective of greater strug-
giles.
The act puts these struggles in a
new light and brings in many new
factors.
The law, by promising vast move
ment of unemployment, tries to stem
the struggle for unemployment in
surunce, and thereby tries to save
the bosses the huge profit and ex-
pense this would entail. Around the
bill, we must develop and increase
the demand for unemployment in
surance showing that unemployment
remains permanent for at least 49,
100000 workers and probably 17,000,-
600 or more. We have such adj
missions from Green himself:
"Some figures, which I believe to
be accurate, have been shown to
the effect, that even II we could by
some mysterious power over night
restore conditions of 1929, when we
were at the peak of consumption,
when a balance between production
and consumption had perhaps
reached its highest point, that only
IS per cent of those entitled to
work could be given work." Hear
ings on the Black Bill.
Struggle Around Codes
In the drawing up of the codes and
the widespread discussion of wages
and hours that the capitalist cannot
avoid, every worker will be aroused
to the point OF though and action
around his living standard. The ac-
ton of General thomson and his
Advisory Board is to keep this dis
cussion from penetrating the ranks
of the workers, and prevent
ing them from taking any action
whatever. We must stimulate this
discussion, not waiting for the codes,
but must tell the workers they should
take the initiative in. demanding a
real Increase in wages, organizing to
carry through this discussion. In
every factory, every shop, we must
take the initiative in drawing Up
wage demands, demands for lower
hours, better conditions. The Trade
