Senator's Hide Murder Link of Wall Street With Machad
US. Agents.
Knew of Big
Govt Graft

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-So SEN
sational were the contents of letters
from the files of the Chase National
Bank, that Ferdinand Pecora, attor-
ney for the Senate Investigating
Committee, yesterday afternoon stop
ped reading it right in the middle,
after a haSty whispered conference
with Winthrop Aldrich, head Of the
Rockefeller controlled Wall Street
bank.
The letter was suppressed by the
Committee. Its contents, said Pecors,
might cause "acts OF violence in
Cuba"
Because the recent letters made
public by the Committee have been
of so giaring a nature, 1t is open
ly conjectured that the contents of
the suppressed letter can refer to
nothing less than open proof that
the United States Government and
the Chase Bank had part in the
wholesale murders, executions, and
assassinations of revolutionary
leaders and workers in Cuba, in
support Of the bloody Machado
regime.
Earlier in the day, in was revealed
that the Machado officials had per-
sonally hlched over $18,000,000 from
the Chase Bank loans. Over $40,-
100000 more was lent to the Ma
chado government by the bank. It
was shown that the United States
Governments State Department knew
all along Of these enormous loans
and the huge graft of the Machado
government.
It was shown that Machado had
diverted into his own pockets $9,000,-
900 OF a. million dollar trust
fund.
1t was revealed that the United
States Ambassador had personal
knowledge of all this graft. and was
in constant consultation with repre-
sentatives of the Rockefeller bank in
Havana.
A letter was introduced in which
it was shown that the Machado
government promised to repay all
these huge Wall Street loans
through heavy taxes on the Cuban
workers and peasants.

Keep Borich Jailed

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 90
Frank Borich, secretary of the Ma
tional Miners Union, was surren-
dared to the immigration authori-
ties and is now in jail. The inlmi-
grafton authorities are demanding
$4,000 bail, pending the appeal Of
Borich.
This outrageous demand for $780,
900 is an effort to keep Borich in
Jail at a time when the miners
face the last attempt to smash
their strike on the part of the
Roosevelt administration, of which
Labor Secretary Perkins is a part.
Martin Ryan and William Hynes,

The pretext given was that the

the Boot and Shoe Union, which has
had no connection with the strike,
and the Industrial Union, but it be-
came clear that this was q trick in

the meeting. Wen take referen-

as it is slack now" Point by point
the strikers answered every treacher-
GUS proposal Green made. They de-
clared their readiness to return to
work if ttir demands were met. But, .
said they, what assurance have we
on returning to work that the bosses
viii not fire all our active sirlion
members? What protection have we
without our urion?" They scorned
Green's suggestion that they could
invoke Section Ia, answering that
they had no faith that their interests
would be protected by the N.R.A.
Senator Wagner was finally forced
to step in when the strikers could not
be made to yield an inch, and ex-
pressed the mistaken determination
that they would rather starve than
accept the Boot and Shoe Union in
the shops.

the shoe striker asked.
'HThey thought that because we
were common workers that they
could put over this treacherous trick
of getting us to consent to go back

pass on it," SO a striker reported
the interview with Mr.. Green at g
mass meeting of shoe strikers, at
Manhattan Lyceum yesterday, at
which a report of the hearings were
given.

''I'll admit that the President can
call upon the Attorney-General to
carry on an investigation in the
Armwood case if he believes that
the constitutional rights Of the peo-
pie of the State of Maryland have
been violated" Howe told the dele

William L. Patterson, secretary
of the international Labor Defense
and leader of the delegation, then
marshalled evidence that constitu-

trampled in Maryland. However, he
said. afterward, II don't think
Roosevelt will act. AS we told
Howe, Roosevelt represents one
class and we another"
At least 40 armed police, includ-
