Unions Clash

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 8. W.P)-
Leaders of approximately 1000 strik-
ing motion picture technicians were
involved in court fight today to
settle jurisdictional matters which
producers allege precipitated the
walkout more than two weeks ago.
Representatives of Local No. 81
of the International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees sought
an injunction to restrain the rival
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
from supplying workmen to replace
strikers. The plaintiffs allege the
B. E. w. is violating an INTERIOR
ganization agreement negotiated in
1926, by supplying workers to stu
dios. They claim the rival union
actually has less than 10 sound
engineers as members.
Application for a temporary in
junction pending hearing on the
permanent writ was denied by Su-
perior Judge Marshall F. McComb
who likewise failed to set a date
for hearing.

CRACK TRAIN
LEAVES RAILS

FORT MORGAN, Colo, Aug. 8.
UP)-At least 20 persons were in
jured, none believed seriously, when
the Aristocrat, Chicago, Burlington
e. Quincy train from Chicago to
Denver, was wrecked near here to-
day.
Four pullman cars and three day
coaches left the tracks, several OF
them overturning from 20 to 30
feet from the rails.
The engine, tender and three
mail cars at the front of the train
stayed on the tracks, as the 'rain
tore through switch.
The observation car, at the end
of the train, was the only other
car to stay on the tracks.
Steel construction of the cars un-
doubtedly prevented a greater cas-
ualty list.
The injured were rushed to hos
pitfalls here by ambulance. Many
were treated for minor cuts and
bruises. and shock, at the scene OF
the wreck.
Six were badly injured and at
least Is others were awaiting treat
ment at the hospital for lesser in
juries.
Conductor E. M. Cox, in charge OF
the train crew. SAID he was not
prepared to state the cause of the
wreck. 1t was regarded as possible
that the switch haG been thrown
open by vandals before the ap-
proach of the train, although there
was no immediate confirmation OF
this theory.
The crew of the locomotive was
not injured.

ANVIL

BEVERLY HILLS, Aug. 8.
(SpeciaD-It takes long time
to find out how wrong you are
sometimes. In 1898 we was all
in beaded perspiration trying to
fix it so Cuba would have lib
erty and all the accompanying
benefits. Now Cuba is having
one of the best civil wars that's
been produced in years. Got
rid of the Spaniards. Now
they can have a real fight.
Around 1917 we also decided
that the world ought to have a
mess of democracy, so we went
a long ways from home to fix
it up for 'em.
Well, you can kinder get a
rough idea of how we fixed 1t.
So the moral of the whole thing
seems to be stay home. Build
a big army and navy. They
can't come here to lick us.
We are not going there to lick
them, so how you going to have
any war?

HAVANA, Aug. 9. - General Ger
ardo Machado, fighting against ov-
erwhelining odds to retain his job
as president, today sought by per-
sonal appeal and radio propaganda
to rally the country against Amer
lean interference with Cuba IS life.
Announcing in a firmly worded
public statement that he was and
would continue to be president, he
asserted that political troubles were
being magnified because Cuba was
a small country in which great
foreign capital was invested.
Information from usually reliable
sources, but unconfirmed, said Sum-
ner WelleS, American ambassador
had demanded Machado apply for a
leave of absence by noon today on
penalty Of American Intervention
and that Machado, in refusing. had
intimated broadly American inter-
vention would be opposed, If neces-
sary by the army.
The reports of pistols, rifles and
machine guns in street fighting
and the dissemination of radio pro-
caganda attacking Welles marked
during the night the grave devel-
opment of the crisis precipitated a
week ago by a strike of omnibus
drivers ostensibly against high tax
eS.
Presumably in revenge for the
slaughter of Monday when police
fired on crowds before the presi-
dental palace killing 20, four po-
licemen we're killed last night.
Three were shot down from a
moving motorcar at the corner OF
Maceo Park. Major Waldo Loay-
naz Ell Castillo, district inspector OF
police, who was standing with
them, was seriously wounded.
A fourth policeman was killed
near the university.
Seize Radio
The government seized radio sta
ton CMAF and established two
block military zone around It,.
Machado was expected to use 1t for
propaganda against Ambassador
Welles particularly and the idea OF
American Intervention generally.
Anti-Welles and anti-American
propaganda was broadcast from
several stations last night and was
reported to emanate from govern
ment sources, through the govern
ment denied its own station was in
volved.
One unidentified broadcaster de-
clared Welles was siding with men,
bers of opposition parties, appealed
to Latin American nations for sup
port, and urged Cubans to unite in
aid of the army in event of for
eign intervention.
Representatives of the chamber
of deputies Liberal parliamentary
committee were understood to have
approved a motion, introduced Mon
day. to declare Ambassador Welles
persona non grata and to appeal
to the United States government
against his activities.
MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 9. W.R)-Gen-
eral Orestes Ferrera, Cuban secre-
tary of state, today described United
States Ambassador Sumner Welles'
reported demand for resignation OF
President Machado of Cuba as ga
ridiculous example of out-mod2d
diplomacy
