The strike situation in the interior
developed further yesterday, as
workers of Banes, in Oriente Prov
ince, prepared for a general strike to
enforce their demands on American
and other employers. At Antille, port
and railway workers are preparing
to seize the industries unless the en-
ployers increase their wages, and
make retribution for terrific exploit
alton of the past two years, by MAX
ing the wage increases retroactive
over that period.
A group of students yesterday ar
rested Colonel Juan Cruz Bustillo,
one of Machado's henchmen and for
mer military commander of Cabanas
Fortress, as he was preparing to take
off in an airplane for Miami. 1t was
discovered that he had a military
pass signed by general staff officer
giving him permission to leave Cuba
Pressure of the angry Cuban
masses forced the new Grau regime
to finally issue an edict, outlawing
former President Machado and "a of
his aides, on formal charges of muir
der and robbery of public funds.
Property valued at $25 100000, held
in Cuba by the 27 fugitives, was Or
dered seized. Machado and his aides,
named in the edict, are in Montreal,
Canada, following their escape with
the aid of United States and British
imperialists from the anger of the
revolutionary toilers.

Hold Hunger March
inHuntingtorl, VIVA.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va.-With Win
ter approaching, bringing suffering
and misery for the unemployed, ap-
proximately 400 jobless men and
women staged hunger march here
Friday. Ex-soldiers, farmers and
laborers, black and white, marched
shoulder to shoulder in a common
cause against starvation.
Keeping step to the beat of bass
drum and carrying banners proclaim
ing their demands, the marchers
paraded through the downtown sec
lions of the city, disbanding near the
Cabell County Welfare office. A
committee, elected by the unem-
ployed, presented the demands Of the
Huntington Unemployed League to
the heads of the Welfare Board. The
demands included sufficient cloth
ing and free school supplies for chill
dren of the unemployed, distribution
of clothing held by the Welfare and
American Red Cross, Red Cross flour
for 81 additional, with which to buy
flour, and endorsement Of Unem-
ploynent Insurance by the county
officials.
The police escort provided by the
Chief of Police was the same which
arrested the leaders of the Hunting
ton Unemployed League a few weeks
ago while they were attempting to
organize the unemployed.

The Weirt0n Betrayal

THOUGH N.R,A, negotiations by Lewis, Green and
Co were carried on in the s5rictest secrecy, the
knitting of the strike Of $4,000 Weirton Steel Co
workers is don2 IN the full light Of day
The Weirton Steel men in Weirton and Clarksberg
West Virginia, and Steubenviue, Ohio, went on strike
over month ago for union recognition and against
the steel slave code The strikers fell among thieves
when leadership came into the hands of the A. F
of L. steel union officials the Amalgamated Asso-
citation.
Everything was done to keep the men off the
picket lines to oblige Mr.. Ernest T, Wer chairman
of the steel company's board But the fought
and fought effectively. The strike could be won and
was on the verge of being won.
That is why the N.F9.A. stepped in, with Mr.. Weir
playing the hoary game OF cross between sly
virgin and uncomfortable bad boy. He said he
wouldn't submit to the NR.A. Labor Board. But
after he rubbed elbows with Green and Lewis, the
competest harmony prevailed because the steel trust
had achieved its full objective the unconditional
breaking of the strike.
1t is true the men themselves have yet TO say the
final word but the A. F. of L. leadership have already
plunged a sharp and well-used knife into the back
of the strike,

World Imperialism Aiding; Furnishes Funds and War Material
General Seeckt, Murderer of German Workers Under
Socialist Regime, to Guide Marking Tactics

now modifying $4,000 men against
the Central Soviet District. The
opening Of the sixth campaign was
set for July, but it had to be post
poncd because, despite the pressure
exerted by the imperialist powers, The
Marking government and the
Kwangtung group could come to no
agreement. The middle OF Sep6en-
~ was fixed for the opening of the
offensive.
To Use British South African Tactics
1t now appears that the Marking
government intends this time TO use
new strategy and tactics in its fight
against the Red Armies. The new
methods adopted are those adopted
by Great Britain In South Africa
during the Boer War. In South Africa
the British army succeeded in over
throwing the Boer Republics by using
an immense superiority of numbers
and conquaring the country syste-
mstically bit by bit, consolidating its
gains, and then advancing afresh to
conquer new territory, gradually en-
circling the fighting Beers, disarming
the civilian population and crowding
them into terrible concentration
camps. These methods are now to
be adopted in a still more ruthless
form against the Central Soviet Dis
trict.
An army almost ten to one numer
ically superior and supplied with all
the weapons of modern warfare is
to attack the Red Army. One area
of Soviet territory after another is
to be conquered and "pacified,' the
civilian population is to be deci-
mated, and the whole Soviet area
! surrounded SO that the maneuverine

taken by Wetzel and Kriebel, who
organized the fourth and fifth anti
Soviet crusades.
To Launch New Attack On Soyiets
With the assistance of the irnpe-
rialist powers and the League of Ma
tons the Marking government is now
preparing for sixth military crusade
against the Chinese Soviets.
The United States government
has already provided the Marking
government with a credit of fifty
million dollars to finance the cru
SADIE. The Finance Minister of the
Nankira government, Sun Tse-
wen, is conducting negotiations in
half dozen European capitals
with a view to obtaining still
further war credits.
The League of Nations has also
provided the Marking government
with its experts in the shape OF
technical assistance for the Chin
csc counter-revo'ution
During the LIST few weeks alone
Chang Kaishek has received from
the United States no less than $50
aeroplanes, many tanks and all the
equipment necessary for waging
gas and chemical warfare.
The KWangtung group is being
provided with the necessary equip
ment by British imperialism for its
part in the sixth campaign against
the Chinese Soviets.

more and more and it is finally
forced to stand up to an overwhe,na-

is also intended to prevent whole

Murderer OF German Workers To
Direct Campaign
There is no doubt that the numer-
ical superiority of the counter-revo-
lutionary army and its tremendous
superiority in arms, ammunition and
modern war technique will place a
tremendous strain on the Red Army,
but there is no doubt that the Red
Army will be victorious now, as it
has been in the past, and that it
will bring the new tactics of the Nam
king militarists TO nought. The first
encounters in the sixth campaign
have ended VIGOROUSLY for the Red
forces,
IT has now been revealed that the
sixth military campaign against tbs
Central Soviet District has been or
ganized and is being directed by the

for years enjoyed the support of the
German social democrats. He has
now sold himself as mercenary of the
Chinese counter revolution. At the
instructions of the coalition govern
ment in Germany and under the So
cial democratic President Ebert,
General Won Seeckt declared martial
law in Germany in 1928 and crushed
the rising proletariat, He is now us
ing his military capacities against

of fascism in Germany has in many
respects restored the middle ages,

follower of Chang iSai-shek, o i11er-
cenary of the counter revolution.
Red Armies Win First Engagements
Up to the present. however, Gem
eral Won Seeckt has not won- many
laurels in China. The first engage
ments of the campaign have ended
to the advantage Of the Red Army,
and his great plan for encircling the
Soviet districts has met with a serf-
Gus reverse in the Province of Fukien,
where the Red Army has administer
ed a severe defeat to the Kuonlin-
tang army, has broken through it's
front and is now threatening Foo
chow, SO that both Great Britain and
Japan have been compelled to send
warships post-haste in order to "d6
fend" the town against the RI
Army Naturally, this has been dol
on the usual prete;st OF 'protsctih

that the Chinese Red Armies will
continue TO administer defeats to the
armies of Chang Kai-shek and that
they will successfully counter the

carded the order and proceeded any
way.
The police arrested four of them.
When the crowd proceeded to the
Jail to demand their release, they
were attacked with tear gas and
more were jailed.
Sixteen witnesses, many OF them

CHICAGO. Nov. 17.-There was
no incentive today and scattered
selling developed to send grains of
fractionally at the opening of the
Board of Trade.
T Wheat futures ranged from I'M
changed TO a cent lower, corn was
unchanged to Is cent lower and
oats slipped = to q cent beneath
the previous finish.
Traders continued to show be-
wilderment over the nervous money
situation and few paid attention to
grain news.
There has been a good mill and
elevator demand for wheat of late
and this fact is viewed as construc-
tive.
With fundamental conditions
strong, operators looked for further
advances in corn and oats. Recent
sales of white corn for export was
watched with interest.
Continued cold weather over the
corn belt was looked upon with
favor.
