One thing that capitalists and their

Union Add 14LOCalS

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-The Re-
lief Workers Protective Union Of
Los Angeles County is buster than
beehive since Aug. 22nd, the
day of the 80 percent relief cut
protest demonstration.
Fourteen new locals, making a
total of 40, have been organized
with a total membership of about
10000.
The Grievance Committees of
the R.W.P.U. exposed more cases
of graft, corruption and discri-
mination on the part of the Off
Gals of the Los Angeles County
Welfare Bureau, than the Bureau
could digest. For that reason
Gear Jensen, Superintendent Of
the Welfare Bureau issued orders
that no grievance committees be
recognized in the future.
The R.W.P.U. took the issue
before the chairman of the Board
of Supervisors, John R. Quinn, and
after presenting many cases of
wholesale and brutal discrimina-
ton against the relief workers,
the committees were successful to
the point that Supervisor Quinn
admitted that the committees
should be recognized and promised
to give the final decision in few
days.

unlikely, and unprecedented.
On the contrary, no deep-going
movement of the masses in any part
of the world can leave the army and
navy untouched. The enlisted men
of every country come from the ranks
Of the masses. In the service, they
are subjected to a peculiarly con-
slant and sharp class oppression by
their superiors, who exercise complete
and brutal authority over all their
actions.
Response TO Masses
The Cuban army and navy were
known as one Of the most mercenary
and brutalized Of armed forces. For
years they carried out the orders of
the bloody Machado.
But the deep-going anger of the
CubNr masses, bursting out first
against Macllado's crushing oppres-
sion, continuing in ever greater in
tensity, involving ever larger masses
as the Des Cespedes regime carried
forward only slightly unchanged the
Machado program of oppression and
terror, inevitably permeated the ranks
Of the military forces.
Finally, conscious as they always
are of their armed powers, the SOL
diers and sailors set up their rank
and file committees, and took con-

Role of Communist Party
The actions of the Cuban soldiers
are. in part at least, response to the
energetic activity Of the Communist
Party of Cuba, with its feminist un-
derstanding of the role of the army
in revolutionary situation. While

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. = For
seating delegates of the Communist

Defense, and electing delegates to
the United States Congress Against
War, the District or Columbia Con-
tinental Congress has been "out-
lawed" by the Washington Socialist
Party.
At a meeting of the Socialist
Party, leaders, Marx Lewis and
Geraci, pushed through a vote to
"ignore" the Continental Congress,
and to call another Congress.
This action was countered by the
delegates to the Congress by cir
culating letter, signed by 10 per
cent of the active delegates, con-
demning the splitting tactics of the
Socialist Party, and pointing out that
the action of the Socialist leaders
was an attempt on the part of
small minority to Control or dis
rupt" the Continental Congress.
Despite the constant disruptive
maneuvers of the Socialist Party,
the Continental Congress has been
actively carrying on anti-war work,
and has been active in the defense
of Michael Hoeckstra, who was at
tackled by a guard while distribute
ing anti-war leaflets in Arlington
Cemetery on August 1.
