Mass picketing is being participated
BY all miners under the leadership Of
the National Miners Union
The immediate cause of the strike
was the firing CT an experienced
miner, who is the only support of a
large family, to make room for the
young son of the superintendent.
Within six hours after the strike
began, U. S. immigration officers ar
rived at Mutual and began the most
intensive campaign OF intimidation
against all miners who are not citi-
zens. There were called individually
into a room where the superintend-
ent and two immigration officers
tried to frighten them with threats
of deportation leaving their families
here" They were requested to quit
the strike and return to work. and
also told by the immigration officials
that they should leave the National

Auto Workers Union

CLEVELAND, O.-After over a
month of organizational work in the
White Motor Co. by the Auto Work
ers Union, the A. F. of L. has started
its disruptive work and is confusing
the workers. In order to clear up all
issues and the differences between
the A. F. of L. and the Auto Work
ers Union the men in the White Mo-
tor decided to call a general meet
ing of all workers and invite the
representatives of both unions to
speak. A telegram was dispatched
to Phil Raymond, secretary of De-
troit Auto Workers Union, and a
registered letter to the Cleveland
Federation of Labor inviting them
to be represented.
Raymond came from Detroit but
the burocrats failed to show up at
the meeting.
The majority Of the workers

voted for the Auto Workers Union

BOARD SET UP TO
SMASH STRIKES
BY ARBITRA
Labor Misleaders On
Advisory Board
OK Agreement

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug. 6.
On Saturday, President Roose-
Velt issued a statement order
ing an end to all strikes. This
followed his approval of the
plan worked out by the United
States Steel Corporation, John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America and William
Green, president of the A. F. of L.,
to end the coal strike. The coal
miners were ordered back to work
without union recognition, while an
arbitration board considers" their
grievances.
Roosevelt's declaration said that he
earnestly commended the creation of
a national arbitration board COM
posed of Senator Robert F. Wagner,
william Green, John L. Lewis. Leo
Wolman, of the Labor Advisory
Committee, and Walter G Teagle-
chairman of Standard Oil, and Louis
E. KRISTEN, Boston capitalist.
The purpose of this board would
be "to avoid strikes, lockouts or any
aggressive action during the recovery
program"
The statement issued in Washing
ton by General johnson and signed
by the Labor Board of the N. I. R. A.,
announcing the formation of this
beard says:
1--WE urge that all causes of ir-
ritation and industrial discomfort
be removed as far as possible
avoid aggressive action which tends
to provoke industrial discord, and
strive earnestly and zealousIy to
preserve industrial peace pending
the construction and adoption of
the industrial codes applicable to
all business, large and small"
This clearly wipes out the promises
of the Industrial Recovery Act about
the right of the workers to organize
and join unions of their own choos-
ing, setting up in It's stead a strike
breaking body to prevent the workers
from struggling for increased pay
while the slave codes are drawn up
and put into effect.
"This board will consider, adj
just and settle differences and con-
troversies that may arise through
differing interpretations of the
Presidents employment agree
ment, and will act with all pos
sible dispatch in making known
their findings.
"In return, employers and en-
ployes are asked to take no dis
turbing action pending hearings
and final decision"
While directed to both employers
and workers, the board and its aims
are meant solely for the workers, as
is shown by Roosevelt's radio speech
just before the blanket codes went
into effect. At that time, Roosevelt
told the workers to remain quiet
obedient and patient, without re-
course to aggression, while the bosses
put over the blanket codes.

HAVANA, Aug. 6,-Nearly
the entire working class of
Cuba is participating in the
general strike against the Ma
chado bloody Wall Street
regime. Late today the railroad
workers began walking out, against
the orders of the railroad brother
hood. Government workers are COM
ing out on strike, with a large group
| of telegraph operators already out.
Machado is arresting hundreds and
has ordered the shooting Of demon
strators.
The whole economic life of the is
land is being tied up, and is expected
to be at complete standstill by to-
night. The strike, no longer SYM

workers who were struggling against

Machado rule.
The A.B.C. terrorist group, and
others who are cooperating with
U. S. Ambassador Welles, are urging
Machado to resign to keep the gen.
eral strike from moving towards a
revolutionary overthrow Of the land
lord and native bourgeois rule, with
| the working class taking the lead in
| the uprising. There is even talk of
inviting U. S. armed intervention to
| EaofN ft,a fnf1iY,ry
lent struggle against the Machado
| dictatorship.
| Machado's police are already be-
ginning to shoot down workers and
attempting to smash demonstrations.
An unidentified Negro worker was
shot dead yesterday in Havana.
Other workers were reported wound
ed in similar police shootings at San
Rafael Monte and Galiano SITS, and
Factoria Aguila and Neptune SITS. At
Regla, across the bay from Havana,
eight strikers and sympathizers and
some women, were injured in a
fight with strikebreakers who were
armed by the Machado police.
Machado's agents are arresting
strike leaders and members Of the
Communist Party in an effort to
smash the strike and to keep it
from entering stage of active revo-
lutionary struggles.
Rafael Laugan, president Of the
Photographers Union was arrested on
the charge of ordering government
operators on strike. More than 100
other labor leaders are in Machado's
torture chambers. Hundreds of stu
dents likewise are being arrested
for their support to the strike.
The strikers are being supported
by the poor peasar ) and agricul-
tural workers in every town in
Cuba. Riots have taken place in
many Of these towns, with the police
shooting at the demonstrators. The
details are not obtainable due to
the shutting down of communica-
lions by the strike and because OF
the rigid censorship of the Macha-
do regime.
Information from Pinar Del Rio
Province, on the extreme western
end of the island, stated that riot
ing and demonstrating continued in
all small towns and that traffic and
commerce were completely para
lyzed.
Ambassador Welles is meeting Sc
cretly with Machado planning the
moves of crushing the strike and
preventing it from entering the
stage of revolutionary uprising.

ALL FRICk MINES
"Don't Be Tricked,
Strike Is Not Over"
Miners Assert

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 6.
Caught by a wave of mass
defiance by the miners, who
refuse to return under slave
conditions, John L. Lewis,
President of the United Mine Work
ers of America, sent message to the
striking miners. In it he says:
"This message should be read to
all the members Of your local union
at once"
Having carried out secret agree
ment with Roosevelt and the coal
operators, Lewis states: Il have
pledged the honor of the United
Mine Workers of America to the
President of the United States, t.
assist him in working out these grave
questions, and I ask your support tc
redeem this pledge"
Their main interest at present Is
to break the backbone of the strike
with the promise that the coal code
will make an equitable settlement
The treacherous labor leaders hold
out the code hearing as promise
Lewis in his message says that:
This agreement provides that
the mine workers in Central and
Western Pennsylvania shall re-
sumo their employment at the
mines under a temporary agree
ment."
In the meantime the Coal Code
Hearings will be held after the
miners are back in the pits. The
miners can take their lesson from
the recent Steel Code Hearings which
were Immediately stopped when tbs
rank and file attempted to present
its side of the story.
This treacherous tool of the coaI
operators, John L. Lewis, recognizes
that the mood Ct the miners is not
such as to accept his decision to be
driven back into the pits. He, there
fore, warns, There will be those
among you who will advocate def
ance of the policy Of your organiza-
ton and defiance to the wish of the
President" He asks that such adj
vice should be rejected" But tbs
miners by their actions over the
weekend have shown defiance tc
the attempts to betray them.
The President of the U. M. w. A
asks the miners to share the bur
dens Of the coal operators. He ap-
peals that "our nation is goine
through period of supreme crisis
ard our union and its members mus
make a contribution towards the ta,sl
of maintaining our institutions ant
rationalizing our economic processes.
The mirerS of Western Pennsylva-
mia, who have ben forced to live or

worse conditions than they already
have. He makes the same appea
