SHERIFF ASKS FOR
TROOPS TO CRUSH
N. Y. MILK STRIKE.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Aug. T.
In response to the statement that
he would place the National Guard
at the disposal of the big milk COM
panies and the State Milk Board
who are trying to break the strike
of the milk farmers, Sheriff Warren
Walters of Senaca County today Of
ficially asked Governor Lehman to
send troops into the strike area. The
deputy police have been unable to
crush the picketing of the strikers.
In spite of the fact that the fierce
police attacks against the farmers
have failed to smash the milk strike,
Governor lehman is calling for more
police, more sheriffs. In a state
ment issued from the executive Of
the state, Lehman said yesterday:
81 have sent kilograms to the
sheriffs Of various counties directing
them to appoint as many deputies
as may be necessary to protect life
and property and maintain law and
order in their counties. I have just
received reports that violence and
intimidation in those counties are
preventing law-abiding citizens from
conducting the business Of marketing
and distributing milk"

TODD farmers who are under the
leadership of the Dairymen's League
and who have entered into a pact
with Bordens, ShefIields and other
units of the dairy trust to try to
squeeze the small producer off the

loaded with milk. In most all cases
they failed. The only report of sue

During Sunday the strike spread

they receive as per cent of the re-

SOLDIERS OCCUPY CITY

HAVANA, Aug. 7.-At least
fifteen persons were killed and
more than fifty wounded late
today when soldiers turned
machine guns on a crowd of
5000 marching from the cap
itol to the Presidential Palace
demanding that President Ma
chado resign. Troops occupy the
city.
Cuban cavalry also rode down the
boulevard, Havana's main street,
firing at the crowds which filled the
street. Police cars ran over the
marchers. Hundreds stood their
ground and defied the troops.
A virtual announcement of U. S.
armed intervention was made today
in what is considered an ultimatum
to Cuba to settle its menacing strike
rebellion by Congressional action
within twenty-four hours" The note
was served on the government by
Sumner Welles, Wall Street Ambas-
sador to Cuba, who also suggested"
ways in which the Machado regime
could smash the workers general
strike.
Welles made it very clear that "the
United States would not stand idly
by while the strike takes the road
toward the revolutionary overthrow
Of the bloody Machado regime.
Mschado has called his rump Con-
gress together to pass martial law
and to begin a reign of terror in
an effort to crush the strike.
Shootings of strikers is increasing
every moment. Not only are the Ma
chado armed forces participating in
shooting down. demonstrators, but
plain clothes thugs in the pay of
Machado are rushing through the
streets in automobiles, with sub
machine guns, shooting into groups
of workers.
Food is growing scarce, railroads
have stopped running, no mail is be-
ing delivered, and no newspapers, ex-
cept the illegal revolutionary press,
gotten out by the Communist Par
ty, is circulated. The Abe, oppo-
sition group of the andlord-capital-
list group opposed to Machado, have
set up a secret radio and are try
ing to direct the strike to prevent it
from becoming a revolutionary up

AUSTRIA REARM
TO BALK NAMS

NEW YORK, Aug. 7-Dispatches
from Rome today indicated that
England, France and Italy are con-
sidering allowing Austria to rearm

near Kufstein. He was shot and
mortally wounded. A companion

RGH, "a, Aug. z.
The striking miners of West
ern Pennsylvania in Fayette,
Washington, w S moreland,
and Allegheny Counties have
correctly estimated the strike
breaking character of the truce
agreed to by John L. Lewis,
Pagan and Feeney. District Presi-
dents; General Johnson, Governor
Pinchot and President Roosevelt.
They have not gone back to work,
but have extended the strike and
closed down practically every mine
in the aforementioned counties.
There are also strikers in Cam
bria and Indiana Counties, of Gen.
trail Pennsylvania, Bethlehem Steel
Company territory.
The honor" pledged by John l..
Lewis to Roosevelt in ordering miners
back to work has been given its exact
value by the strikers. No pawn
broker in a mining district in West
ern Pennsylvania would lend dime
on the honor of John L. Lewis.
Strike In Miners Hands
The strike is in the hands of the
miners committees. elected at mine
meetings and local union meetings.
These committees are rank and file
committees, but in them are included
a number of local union officials,
more or less cogs in the Lewis-Fagan-
Feeney machine This is the weak
ness of these committees. but SO far
the unexamp-ed militancy and de-
termination of the mass of the
miners has prevented actual betrayal.
There is real, growing rank and
file authority as against that of the
union officials.
Even at meetings where there has
been a formal majority vote to re-
turn to work under the truce, miners
have not gone back to work. In
stead, they have as rule presented
demands for elected checkweighmen
and recognition of mine committees.
This second demand is entirely in
conflict with the United Mine Work
ers of America policy and represents
the influence of the National Miners
Union and the tremendous initiative
Of the miners themselves.
For instance, the meeting Of fiji
teen hundred miners at Montour
Mine, No. 10, of the Pittsburgh Coal
Company lasted from 2 o'clock until
7 and a resolution demanding elected
acknowledgment and recognition of
mine committees was passed. The
mine committee presented these de-
mands to the Superintendent; he re.
fused, thus breaking the Roosevelt
pact agreement on acknowledgment,
and the miners continued on strike.
Such instances are occurring
throughout the coal field. There is
the greatest determination among the
mass of miners in other fields that

coke region (the H. C. Prick Coke
Co., subsidiary of the United States

trayed and that every precaution
shall be taken to see that the strike
in other coal counties is not called
off before the Prick men have
reached their own decision.

PERKINS, AIDE
QUITS BECAUSE OF
NO-STRIkE EDICT
Considers Edict Too
Raw to Be Supported

NEW YORK, Aug. because she
regarded the Roosevelt no-strike edict
as definite support to the big open
shop trusts, Miss Mary Van Kleek,
member of the Federal Advisory
Council of the United States Employ
ment Service, resigned yesterday.
Miss Van Kleek, director of indus
trial study for the Russell Sage
Foundation, a social worker of Miss
Perkins type, liberal and sup
porter of the Roosevelt administra-
ton, considered too raw the open
attempt of the government to smash
the strike struggles of the workers.
In a letter directed to Miss Perkins,
Roosevelt's secretary of labor, she
said that this would intensity strug-
giles and defeat the recovery pro-
gram.
"The (arbitration) boards en-
ployer members are all officers Of
corporations having com pany
unions" she said. She pointed out
that the National Recovery Admins
tration was helping the steel trust
maintain it's company unions. though
she slurred over the support of the
A. F. of L. leaders for the same end
Several years ago Miss Van Kleek
together with Hapgood, formed a
company union for the Colorado
Fuel and Iron.
She said despite the fact that the
words "open shop" were withdrawn
from the steel cooe, former Secre-
tary of Commerce Lamont declared
Oh the stand that the policy re-
manned though the words we're with
drawn"
This, she charged, meant the gov
eminent was supporting the open
shop policy in the biggest trusts.
She said that the big corporations
were allowed an 'unjustified rise in
prices while labor unions are weak
ened in their efforts to raise wages.

BAY BRIDGE
( GETS START
Huge Project Linking San Fran
cisco And Oakland To Be
Completed In 1887.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. (U.P)
Work was underway today on
the $75,OOO,000 San Francisco Oak
land Bay bridge, which eventually
will give employment to 10000 per-
sons on one of the worlds greatest
engineering projects.
Approximately 10000 persons wit
messed dedication ceremonies at
three places Sunday.
At Yerba Island, midway between
San Francisco and Oakland, and
through which the roadway of the
8A miles long, double suspension
bridge will pass, former President
Herbert Hoover turned the first
spadeful of earth with a golden
shovel.
This marks the physical begin
ming of the greatest bridge yet
erected by the human race" Mr..
Hoover said. But it is more than
bridge. 1t marks the consumma-
ton of that unity of effort for CO.
operation on the part of the citi-
zens, the municipalities, the state
and the federal government which
is the genius of our countrymen.
81 am proud that during my ad-
ministration these plans were COM
pleted, the difficulties and friction
overcome and the finances provid-
ed, thus assuring its completion.
Mr.. Hoover was instrumental in
obtaining a SCI, 100000 loan for the
bridge from the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation during the lat
ter part of his administration.
Largest In World
While Mr.. Hoover spoke, Presi-
dent Roosevelt in Washington, D.
c., pressed a telegraph key, setting
off three dynamite blasts, at Yerba
Buena Island, on Rincon Hill, San
Francisco, and at the termini OF
the bridge in Oakland.
The bridge will be the largest in
the world and will take more than
three years to build. Although the
project was visualized for half a
century, it was not until 1921 that
engineers established there was a
rock foundation in the bay.
The tallest towers of the bridge
will rise sos feet above the sur
face of the bay, and Che piers be-
meath the towers will be sunk to
a depth of 235 feet below the sur
face of the water. Each tower, from
the top to the foundation, would
reach the height of a 10 story
building.

Will Not Change
Hours At Border

Twenty-four hour opening at the
Calexico-Mexicali port will remain
in effect in spite of efforts to have
the gate closed at o'clock every
day except Saturdays and at 9 p
m. Saturdays, according to a let
ter received by the board of super
visitors today. The letter was read
to the board and ordered filed.
The letter came from F. A. Berg
field, chief clerk and superintend-
ent of the treasury department,
and was written by the order of
the secretary of the treasury, Will
liam H. Woodin.
Explaining that the request Of
the supervisors for a curtailment
of the 24-hour opening had been
given careful consideration, Birgfeld
explained that the department be-
lieves it best to have the gate open
for that period.
Birgfield said that at customs
ports of entry on the Canadian bor-
der and in the Nogales, Ariz., dis
trict, gates are open continuously
and that the Arizona district is
similar to the Calexico port in
that the two cities are divided only
by fence.
