TALK OF TAKING
MARINES OUT OF
HAITI in OCT. 1884
But Prepare to Send
Marines to Cuba
Right Now

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. On the
day that President Roosevelt was
preparing to send marines to Cuba
against the general strike and to
protect Wall Streets rule against the
revolutionary masses, an official
statement is made here that marines
will be withdrawn from Haiti on
October /, 1884.
Officials in the state department
announced that a document was
signed at Port-au-Prince, capital OF
Haiti yesterday providing for marine
withdrawal.
The rushing through of this move
is timed to draw the attention of
the American masses away from Wall
Streets maneuvers in Cuba.
The marines are not scheduled to
leave Haiti until more than year
hence. There will not be complete
evacuation of Wall Streets armed
forces. Some marines will undoubt-
edly stay.
1t was also admitted here that this
move was taken to placate anti-Wall
Street sentiment throughout Latin
America, and to favor Americas at
tempts to win Latin-American mark
cts. The American authorities had
in view the Pan-American confer
ence called for Montevideo in De-
cember.

CALL FOR FUNDS :

Sherwood An d erson
Heads Committee

NEW YORK-A National Miners
Aid Committee of which Sherwood
Anderson, the noted author, is
chairman, has been organized in
New York to solicit aid for the min
ers and to conduct the activity of
the National Miners Union against
the betrayal of the miners strike.
News from the mine strike fields
carried in the capitalist press does
not tell of the misery and starva-
ton being suffered by the 10000
striking miners, nor that the strike
now in progress is being fought
against big odds. Miners need food,
clothing and shoes in order to win
against the Lewis-Jo Roosevelt
attempts to force them back to work
and misery, and funds must be
raised to permit the National Min
ers Union to successfully combat
these strikebreaking attempts.
Send packages of food clothing
and shoes to the Miners Relief
Committee, 149 Washington Place,
Pittsburgh, Pa, and mail money

McGrady as the representative of

Ryan, local leader of the opposition
to calling off the strike, as red"
Despite Ryan's opposition, the meet

the effect of this decision among the
miners in the field is unknown. The
miners in the coke field are showing
unexampled determination in face of
all efforts Of the officials to split their
ranks.
Hundreds of miners on the streets
and on the picket lines say openly
"let them send all the kilograms they
want to, we will stay out on strike
until we gain the demands which we
struck for"
The most successful kidding of

NEW YORK.-Calling on all work

the general strike against the bloody
Machado regime, the Communist
Party of the United States and the
Anti -Imperialist League urges all
workers organizations to arrange
demonstrations and meetings in sup

condemn the collision of your am

MALLEABLE IRON
STRIKE IS WON
IN BRIDGEPORT

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Aug. g.
The $50 strikers at .the Malleable
Iron Co. won their demands 100
per cent today, under the leader
ship of the Trade Union Unity
League. Tbs demands were 40
hour week, $3.50 day, and sanitary
conditions in the shop.
The strikers voted unanimously to
support the shop committee and
gave a vote of thanks to Sam
Krieger, organizer of the T,U.UL.
for his assistance in leading the
strike.
The strike, which began last week,
was against the low pay and mis-
cradle conditions existing in the
shop. Experienced moulders were
being paid sweatshop wages in the
factory, with long hours, and badly
lit, unsanitary surroundings. Now
the minimum wage for moulders is
$24 week.
John Egan. labor faker of the
American Federation of Labor, at
tempted to offer his services to
the strikers but the strikers fatty
refused his offer.
The strikers have emerged victor
ious and are now preparing banquet
in honor of the T. u. U. L. organizer
and Of their victory.
The Daily Worker. containing
stories Of the strike, was sold on
the scene Of the strike and did
much to keep up the strikers
spirits.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. g. Four
teen hundred metal workers at the

of the Joint Council of Industrial
Unions. The mass picketing of 1000
workers yesterday closed the entire

A committee of is workers. tege-

The majority Of workers at this

ploiterS, in order TO give the ap-
pearance of a change. This would
leave the way open for a return OF
Machado, or the establishment OF
another government little different
from Machado's dictatorship.
Bloody Machado today, in an Of
fetal declaration, said he ordered his
machine gunners to fire into the de-
morstration of 5000 yesterday to
preserve the interest of Wall Street
and the native capitalists.
Ambassador Welles is fully respon-
sible with Machado for the machine
gun slaughter of the Cuban masses
He called opposition leaders into con-
ference after he had conversed with
Machado. Welles told the opposition
that Machado would resign. The OPP
position Immediately broadcast this
news over the radio. In response,
the masses gathered at the national
palace. Machado, who knew what
was happening, was fully prepared,
having concealed rlachine gunners
in strategic positions.
Meanwhile, Welles and the oppo-
sition attempt to work out a COM
promise with Machado to keep back
revolutionary struggles, and especially
a mass anti-imperialist and agrarian
uprising that would lead the revolu-
tionary to a finish, by wiping out
Machado and his imperialist and ex-
plotting class basis.
They are grooming either Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes or Col. Carlos
Mendieta, both connected with rich
landlords and Cuban capitalists, and
acceptable to Wall Street, as success
sors to Machado.
The main object is to keep Ma
chado from being driven out of power
by revolutionary action. Welles il
striving to get Machado to accept
a cor promise choice for vice pres
ident," and then resign, leaving power
in the hands of the president;
sending the workers back to work
and through few electoral reforms
trying to satisfy the mass discomfort
and the great impoverishment Of
Cuban people.
The general strike is complete
with the entire workingclass partici-
pating, and all stores being tightly
shut. Food is becoming scarce as
all means of transportation are stop
ped.

NAVY YARD CUTS
WAGES, FIRES 300
UNDER NEW CODES
Men Get 16 Per Cent
Cut; Protest At the
Quincy Shipyards

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 8.-The gilt
is fast wearing of the huge Roose-
welt naval construction program,
ironically called public works
program. The application Of the
much touted industry codes to Navy
Yard at Charlestown will result in
net wage cuts of s per cent for the
workers in the private building yards,
and a 16 % per cent cut for the
workers in the government yard, 1t
was revealed today in the protests
brought by the Navy Yard workers
to officials of the Metal Workers
Union.
In one case, the, reduction in wages
will be accomplished BY reducing the
number Of days from six to five, cut
ting the wages by one sixth.
And in the second case, where the
code has resulted in an increase in
the hourly rates, the cut in the work
week from 40 hours to 80, will result
in a per cent cut on top of all
the cuts made since the crisis.
Less Men for Came Work
Furthermore, To- re-hiring Of sew
eral hundred workers which was sup
posed to have resulted from the APP
plication of the code and the new
construction program, will not ma
terialize On the contrary, the Naval
officer in charge announced that from
300 to 400 men will be laid off on
August rs.
The commanding officer Of the
Yard explained that:
The modern practice is TO have
drafting work for a new vessel
done by people who get out the
steel. That cuts a large number
of craftsmen out of department"
In addition, the awarding of the
new construction work to the Char
lestown Yards will do away with all
the repair work that used to be done
in these yards on overhauled trans
ports.
Workers Protest
At Fore River Plant Of the Bethle-
hem Shipbuilding Corporation, over
1000 steel workers held protest
meeting against the wage schedules
instituted under t HI code. TIL y
elected committee to protest to the
company officials. The workers
pointed out that the company has
just been awarded a Sl1, 720 900 con-
tract for the building of a new
cruiser, an increase of 40 per cent
over the cost for similar cruiser last
year. At the same time the company
has offered to increase the pay of
the men by sri. ~ per cent, bringing
the average wages of the highest
paid skilled mechanics to s24 week.
The application of the steel code,
and the beginning of the huge Naval
construction program, therefore. are
combining to give the shipbuilding
companies new enormous profits, at
the same time that hundreds Of ship
building workers and having their
wages cut or are losing their iohs.

ton to the coal code hearings is
leaving for Washington tonight.
The Offices of the National Miners
Union and the Steel and Metal Work
ers Union were infested. with federal
dicks and immigration agents today.
The atmosphere was one of prepara-
tons for general raid on the revolu-
tionary unions to thwart the move
ment of organizing workers in these
two basic industries. The federal
district attorney openly stated that
an investigation of red activities in
the coal industry is under way. This
is without doubt an attempt from
Washington to demoralize the ranks
of the miners and defeat their mill
fancy at least for the time being.
The miners are working practically
without leadership except that which
has been developed locally in the
course of the strike. They have, ir-
respective of the immediate results
of the strike action, struck the most
damaging blow yet to the Roosevelt
slave pact.
