Roosevelt Seeks
To Stir War Spirit
In Talk to Legion

CHICAGO, HIN an effort to
divert rank and file American Legion
naires from their demands for the
bonus, and to whip them into line
for his anti workingclass National
Recovery program, President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, speaking at the
opening of the 18th annual American
Legion convention in the Chicago
Stadium yesterday called on them to
renounce their disability benefits and
their bonus.
At the same time he summoned up
the spirit of ar-patriotism in ac-
cordance with the government pro-
gram of continued war preparations
by declaring that:
IF this country is worth living In,
if our social order means anything
to us, then this country Of ours is
worth defending. !. 1t is the funda-
mental obligation of citizenship to
don the uniform of our country, to
carry arms in its defense when our
country and the things it stands for
are attacked"

with demagogic plea for a balanced
budget, saying:
I'VE undertook to take the national
treasury out of the red and put 1t
back into the black In the doing
Of it we laid down two principles
which directly affected benefits to
veterans"
Cue Of these principles" said Roo

wore uniform, must thereafter be
placed in q special class of benefit
Charles over and above all other cit
liens. The fact of wearing uniform
does not mean that he can demand
and receive from his government o
benefit which no other citizen re-
ceives." S
Roosevelt also attempted TO shift
the rsror7i r'hty for veterans relief
to state ard local governments by
declaring:
"rf tNe individual affected (by dis
abilities not connected with military
service) can afford to pay for his
own treatment he cannot call on any

Demonstration for the
Veteran Leader
Planned

NEW YORK.--Tom Mann, vet
eran British labor leader, who was
refused visa to enter the United
States until it was too late for him
to reach the Congress Against War,
will be greeted by a huge demon
stration when he arrives tomorrow
on the Majestic, docking at the foot
Of West 18th st. at II am.
Many organizations, including the
Marine Workers Industrial Union
and the Irish Workers Club, have
already announced their participation
in the welcome to the hero of count
less working class battles covering
half century.
Tom Mann's life as a leader of
the working class began with the
famous longshoremen's strike on the
London docks in 1889. In the nine
ties he led the bitter strike of the
miners in the Rand gold fields in
South Africa, which was marked by
brutal police violence.
Ever since then Tom Mann has
been in the forefront of every battle
of the British working class, and
during the past few years he has
led the rank-and- movement
within the British trade unions.
Mann is going to tour the country
in the interests of the fight against
war and fascism after his arrival,
and he will be one of the principal
speakers at the dinner to Henri Bar
busse tomorrow night.

strikers Is high. The MIRA. has been
unable to break the strike.
The Hudson Company has shut
down completely, throwing 5000 out
Of jobs. The closing of the plant is
two months earlier than usual, be-
cause of strike fears and the drop In
orders. The Motor Products is also
closing. Mass lay-offs face all auto
mobile workers.
Rank and file opposition to the
leaders tactics is growing. The Smith
and Griffen leadership is reported to
have abandoned a demand for single
settlements for all shops and plants
in Detroit, Flint and Pontiac, which
involved over $4,000 strikers.
Employers insist on separate set
Elements in each city, and also for
small jobbing shops and big auto
plants. These attempts are aimed at
dividing the strikers ranks, but have
met with opposition from the strikers
At a meeting of 700 Fisher Body
workers on Saturday a demand was
raised that the Mechanics Educa-

Auto Workers Union. The strikers in

NEW YORK.-A strike of 10000

The workers were called out on strike

). The strike demands are for
q 48-hour week instead of the present
56-f1our week with. the present scale
of wages to remain In force in the
new wage agreement. The wage
agreement expired yesterday.
That the strike is a move to ex-
tend the control of the A. F. of l..
officials over the entire delivery in
dustry was evident from the support
given by Joseph p Ryan, president
of the International Longshoremen's
Association Ryan announced that
longshoremen would not handle any
material on the docks destined to
firms on strike, although he has Just
Unanswered to continue the old wage

100000 New York
Families Will Need
Relief This Winter

NEW YORK-That local relief Of
ficials do not expect the National
Recovery Act to fill any hungry
mouths this winter was made evil
dent Yesterday by the statement OF
Welfare Commissioner Frank Taylor
that 25o,000 families, one-sixth OF
New York City's population, will need
unemployment relief this winter.
The local relief situation, which
the Board of Estimate is to consider
this week, is looked upon by experts
of private welfare agencies as the
most acute crisis for the dependent
unemployed in the history of the
city. Current estimates of the mini
mum amount necessary for relief
through the winter range from
100000 to S15,000,000 month.
All of these estimates allow only for
the barest necessities.
The severity of the relief situation
and the growing hardships CT the
million dependent jobless in the city
was further emphasized yesterday by
a report of the Association for I'M
proving the Conditions of the Poor
that sickness among unemployed
families has increased 81 per cent
during three years of depression.
Children, according to the report,
have been the greatest sufferers in
this progressive breakdown of public
health.
Mayor John P. O'Brien's reply to
the questions raised by these facts
was declaration yesterday that "at
least s3,0oo0oo month will be avail
able for unemployment relief during
1884"

ARMY SHELLS
IN
CUBAN HOTEL
General Protest Strike
Called AS Regime
Jails Communists

| HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. AT 1east
20 soldiers were killed and over 100
wounded, and one American civilian
shot dead by stray bullet as the
Cuban governments army shot 1t out
with 500 former army officers en-
trenched in the palatial National
Hotel today.
The besieged army officers sur
rendered late today, after the con-
c1usiorl of truce at 8 pm. led to
renewed firing by the officers in the
hotel.
Field artillery bonbarded the hotel
all day from neighboring streets,
while a steady hail of machine gun
and rifle fire spattered against the
hotel walls from the roofs OF neigh
boring buildings.
Huge gaps were torn in the sides
of the edifice as shell after shell
burst against the stone walls, while
the gunboat "Patria" moved up from
the harbor to assist in the lombard
ment.
The accidental death of the civilian
American, r. L. Lotspeich, assistant
manager of the Swift & Co. Havana
branch, is being made the pretext
for demands that American marines
be landed from the warships now in
Havana harbor to protect American
life and property"
Officers Machado Adherents
The officers in the National Hotel
formerly headed the Cuban army
under, the Machado regime, and re-
fused to collaborate with the new
Grau San Martin government. They
had held the hotel for more than a
month, but the Grau government did
not try to dislodge them until after
it had proved--by its brutal attack
on the Mella funeral-that Wall
Street had nothing to fear from the
present Cuban regime.
The government has taken drastic
action in a desperate effort to sup
press the Communist and militant
trade union movements. No more
than three persons can assemble in
the streets at any time, and hun
dreds of Communists have been
under arrest.
A nation wide general strike, pro-
testing against the Havana killings
of workers, is scheduled to start to-
day, called by the National Confed-
Grafton of Labor of Cuba. AS all
its headquarters have been seized by
the military, the labor federation is
working secretly to prepare for the
strike.
Sugar workers in the mill at Pres
ton, Oriente Province, owned by the
United Fruit Co., walked out on
strike in protest against the killing
of workers in Havana at the Mella
funeral demonstration.
The workers at the American
owned Tacajo sugar mill have gone
on strike again, cutting telephone
wires to prevent communication with
the outside world.
