AMNESTY PASSED
/ BY CUBAN SENATE
Bill Covering Political Of
lenses Since January |,
1927, Sent to House.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
HAVANA, July 25.-A sweeping
amnesty bill covering political offenses
committed since January !, 1927, was
passed late today by the Senate and
sent to the House of Representatives,
which will discuss it tomoToV.
The Senate, considering the measure
In rapid order, voted 20 to on the
bill as q whole and then passed the
separate articles.
In political circles it was believed
passage of the amnesty bill by Congress
would clear the way for q predicted
presidential decree restoring the sus-
pended constitutional guarantees IN
Havana province.
To Consider Weiles Plan.
Representatives of the opposition to
the regime of President Gerardo
Machado have indicated that there
after, again in full possession Of all
their civil rights, they would be willing
to meet government delegates and con-
slider further steps in the political con-
ciliation program initiated by Sumner
Welles, United States Ambassador.
Several opposition factions, notably
women's groups, have publicly protested
the amnesty bill, charging that the
government seeks to include under its
provisions offenses not of a political
character. 1t was learned authorita-
lively, however, that this objection to
the bill will not be permitted to affect
the progress of the mediation efforts.
The preamble to the bill, which con-
sisted OF message from President
Machado, said that the executive had
attempted since his Inauguration in
1925 to promote political harmony in
Cuba.
No Restoration to Posts.
The bill sets forth that the granting
OF amnesty does not contemplate the
restoration to their posts of officials or
members of the armed force suspended
or discharged for political offenses, nor
does it permit the bringing of civil ac-
tion against persons cleared.
A transitory provision appended to
the bill provided that the militia re-

The Senate also passed another bin
clearing all persons accused Of violating
the election code in connection with
the reorganization Of political parties

sufficient return for their labor to maintain for themselves
and their families the highest standards of living. COM
mensurate with the nations industrial and economic

1t also urges that qualified Negroes be appointed to

strategic positions in the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton and all federal and state boards dealing with agri
cultural problems industrial and educational affairs,
forestaton projects and agencies handling feed seed and

The resolutions further demand that officials authorZ-

and its affiliate branches until absolute given
by such labor bodies that the Negro worker will be

Among the many thousands of jobless men and women

cenage of coored citizens These unfortunate conditions
exist during every period of depression for Negro workers
usually the first to be fired and the last to be hired
Just how many of Detroits citizens out of work
here it is detney known but city officials max
ing effort TO determine the number means of bet
ter aiding them tO find employment. Registration of job
less citizens who have resided in Detroit at least year
started Thursday in ID precinct police stations and will
end Saturday Of this week.
We therefore urge all unemployed members Of our
group the city to register without delay OF
gisration will not guarantee employment but it is reason
able to that registration certificates will help
of the obless To work in local factories and
pubic work projects Furthermore in event the city is
successful in securing federal funds with which to start
public works programs it will be necessary to have regis
taton cards in order to receive employment these pro-
jects
If you out of work believe the wise thing to do
is go of the local police precinct stations and

is LYNCHING MURDER?

OF lynchngs recently given to the publc
by Dr. r. Notion of Tuskegee Institute, stating that six
persons ynched in the United States during the first
half of the year ending July and the ink the report
had hardly had time to dry before dispatches from
Columbus s. c. announced that another Negro had Just
been ynched there.
On July just four days after the Tuskegee survey
issued Morris Bendy, 35-yearold colored citizen,
taken from the Clinton County jail and few hours
later his feess body beaten and sranged found IN
a churchyard the outskirts Of the city.
In speaking of the tragedy, Governor Blackwood of
South Carolina, is quoted having said: That's not
lynching 1t is brutal murder.
The Governor might have gone bit further and stat
ed that all ynchingS brutal murders. "A murder may
not be ynchng but ynching is always murder.
According to DR.. Motions report four of the persons
put death by mobs from January to Juy l, Ne

in the South of the victims having been accused of
rape, four of murder and having charge listed
against him.
Although, according official statistics the lynch
