is another agent of Wall Street.
Support to the Cuban workers, on
strike for better living conditions,
is now more important than before.
Support to the anti-imperialist or
CARNATIONS in Cuba who are fight
ing against the Welles intervention
is needed more than before. Now
more than ever we must fight
against the New Deal which
Roosevelt is trying to force on the
Cuban people"
Five delegates are requested from
all branches of organizations, and
individuals are invited.

Sheriff Hands Over
Boys to Armed Mob
in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Bodies Found Riddled
With Bullets; One
Still Missing

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Aug.
1.-two young Negroes whom
attorneys for the International
Labor Defense were prevented
by the court from defending
at their trial recently, were
lynched today. They had been
shot to death.
A third boy, ElmOre Clark,
IS, seized when an armed
gang took all three from the
willing hands of three under
sheriffs, could not be found.
It is believed that he had been
lynched also.
The bodies of Dan Pippin,
Jr., IS, and A. T. Hardin, 16,
were found near Woodstock,
half way between here and
Birmingham, about two hours
after the three boys had been
seized.
All three boys we're facing trial
on trumped-up charges of killing
an 18-year-old girl, Vaudine Mad
dox, on May 81.
Irving Schwab, Allen Taub and
Frank B. Irwin, attorneys for the
International Labor Defense, were
on August prevented from de-
Tending Pipin, Hardin and Clark,
although they had been retained
by the boys relatives. They were
then taken out of town by National
Guardsmen, IS of whom had been
called out On the way to Birmingham
the train on which they were riding
was halted by a mob of 100 organ
lied by Tuscaloosa county authori-
ties, which threatened to lynch the
three.
Following the action of the judge
in barring the I. L. D. attorneys,
the case was adjourned and the
boys taken back to Jail.
Previous to the trial Schwab,
Taub and Irwin had been prevent
ed from seeing the boys in Jail,
mand a postponement of the trial
on the ground that the defense
and they had come to court to de-
needed more time for preparations.

in an effort to crush the revolution
airy movement led by Mella against
Machado's rule.
A group of workers went to the
Pasaje Hotel here where Magrinat
lived. They dragged him out to the
streets where he was beaten to death
with bats and clubs. The police stood
by and did not dare to interfere.
Another murderer of Communists
and militant trade unionists, the in
famous Balmesda, was likewise melted
out working class justice. Balmesda
personally directed the torture and
murder of hundreds of Cuban re-
volutionists. His favorite stunt was
to handcuff workers and slip them
out of Moro Castle into the shark
infested bay.
Mella Pioneer Revolutionist
Julio Mella, the most popular re-
volutionary leader among the Cuban
students, was one of the pioneer
fighters against Bloody Machados
rule He was expelled from the Uni
versity of Havana in 1925 at the Or
der of Machado. During his impri-
sonment he began hunger strike,
and through the mass pressure of the
Cuban workers and students, and as
result of world wide denonstra-
tons organized by the Communist
Parties in all countries, Mella was re-
leased. To escape assassination in
Cuba, he fled to Mexico City, where
he helped direct and organize the
revolutionary struggles against Ma
chado. He was one of the leading
members of the Anti-ImperialiSt
League, rallying the Latin American
workers and peasants in their strug-
gle against Yankee imperialism.
So effective were Mella's activities,
that Machado personally directed the
plot for his assassination. He sent
two assassins to Mexico City. headed
by Jose Magrinat, who shot to death
Mella on a dark street.
Other hangmen and assassins Of
Machado are meeting the fate of
Magrinat and Balmaseda at the
hands of the enraged workers.

, Presenting its code, the Ma
tional Miners Union, is expos
ing the operators code and its
starvation wage rates.
The Daily Worker has received
from Washington the arguments of
the National Miners Union in favor
Of it's code and against the bosses
code, supported by John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America.
Basic Scale
A $6 day minimum wage based
on six hours work per day is the
very least that the miners can ac-
cept. Only a year ago when the
cost of living was much lower than
today the miners of illinois were re-
ceiving 500 per day. Even this
wage scale especially in the face of
the prevalence of part time work
was not sufficient to meet the needs
of the miners. At present it will be
even more difficult to meet the needs
VI OliC CNCh WlIll tAilo WdSC
We present here some figures
from A. & P. stores in Pittsburgh to
illustrate the difficulties of the
miners at present. At the end of
June peck of potatoes was priced
at 27c and at present at 63c; one
pound of lard at sc and now at 1Oc;
one quart of second grade milk at 7c
and now at &c; one pound of pork
chops 10c and now 16c.
From this it can be seen how the
actual wages of the miners have
dropped Increases as high as 100 per
cent and more on the most vital nee
essities for the miners and their
families. To this we must add that
the prices in the company stores are
at least 80 per cent higher than in
the privately owned stores.
The prices continue to rise. All

Jobs; Give $4,000

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-After
talking about 100000 being put back
to work by September through the
NRA and the $3,30O,oOO,0o0 public
works program, it is revealed here
by a report of Administrator of Pub
lie Works Ickes that only $1,000 men
got work on public construction.
These men were put to work, 1ckes
said, on 300 public roads projects.
The major part of the 100000, 900
actually spent goes to warship manu-
facturers. The small number OF
those put to work confirms the state
ment of Walter Runcimann, British
Trade Board head, who said in
Britain, only 1000 men were put to

Enemies, Press
Demands

HAVANA, Aug. 13. - A
delegation of the Confeder-
ACTON Nacional Obrera (the
revolutionary workers trade
union federation) saw Pres
ident uespedes today and
declared the striking Cuban
workers would refuse to go
back to work until all their
demands were granted.
HAVANA, Aug. 13.-Sur-
rounded by Machado's former
henchmen and members of the
landlord-capitalist opposition,
DR.. Carlos Manuel de Cespedes
was sworn in as president of Cuba,
to fill the place left vacant when
Bloody Machado fled the wrath Of
the Cuban people.
Meanwhile, the enraged armed
workers and students we're sweeping
through the streets searching for
Machndo's murderer gangs organ
lied in the infamous Porra, secret
police responsible for the torture, i'm
prisonment and slaughter Of hun
dreds of reyolutionists, particularly
members of the Communist Party,
and of the militant trade unions.
Even before he was officially de-
signated as president, Cespedes is
sued decree ordering martial law
in an effort TO break the general
strike and send the workers back to
their jobs so that the new ruling
clique could prevent the masses from
carrying through the anti-imperialist
and agrarian revolution.
To "Save Country" From Strike
In his first statement issued to the
public, Cespedes said:
II have assumed the supreme Office
Of the nation by the will Of all those
who desire justice, peace and good
will for Cuba. take over this office
because it is my duty to lend my
most effective aid in these difficult
moments to the work of saving the
country which is endangered"
Cespedes was referring to the strik-
ing workers who came out for the
overthrow Of the Machado regime
and for the improvement of their
conditions. demanding more wages,
lower hours, unemployment insur-
ance, and against the demand Of the
poor peasants for the splitting up OF
the big estates and turning the land
over to them.
Bloody Machado fled by airplane
to Nassau, Bahamas, a British col
ony, when his armed forces began tc
revolt. His last act, before fleeing
was TO rush to the Columbia bar
racks and order the execution of 7
soldiers who favored the overthrow
of Machado.
Ferrara Flees Amid Shots
At the same time, Dr. Orestes Fer
rara, former Secretary of State
rushed to the airdrome and boarded
a plane. Machado took of in
hurry when he learned mass Of
workers and students was rushing to
the airplane field. When Ferrars
was seated in the plane, waiting for
others to get in with him, more than
100 shots were fired at the plane,

.Cappelini, N. R. A.
Supporter, Held by
U. S. As Forger
Says He Is Innocent
But Has a Long
Crime Record

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Aug. 10.
Charged with forging and pass
ing fake $40 notes, Rinaldo Cape
lini, president of the newly formed
tri-district anthracite miners union,
and supporter of the Roosevelt pro-
gram, was arrested here yesterday
by federal authorities. The order
was signed by Roscoe B. Smith,
United States Commissioner, at the
request of Captain w. C. Schroeder
of the U. S. Secret Service.
At the convention just closed,
Cappelini attacked the rank and
file delegates for their opposition 20
Roosevelt's slave program, calling
on the miners to "back up the pres
ident." Although Cappelini claims
he is innocent" he has long
crooked record,
This is not Cappelini's first Grim
inal venture. In 1922, he robbed the
miners of S10,000-by emptying the
local union treasures to force the
miners to buy him a car and a
house.
Cappelini, not satisfied with this,
burned his house down to get the
insurance. He pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary-a very mild sentence
under the Pennsylvania laws.
No sooner is he set at liberty than
he proceeds to try to put over
Roosevelt's program on the anthra-
cite miners, under the camouflage
of attacking John l.. Lewis, and
setting up new union outside of
the U.M.W.A.
Cappelini is the tool of anthracite
coal operators in the Wilkes-Barre
region.
