1900 EVICTED IN
MONTH IN BRONX
Will Grow in Winter
Predicts Court Clerk

NEW YORK.-T Give hundred
families are being evicted each month
in the Bronx according to a report
from John Monahan, acting court
clerk In the first and second district
municipal courts in the Bronx, land
lords have filed 4,351 eviction actions
since the Tammany decision to stop
paying rent on July 1st.
What can be expected in the winter
months is estimated by the court
clerk. He said, '"You can imagine
what the situation is going to be in
the Bronx when four justices are sit
ting every day." where as now only
one justice is sitting two days a week
in each court during the vacations.
Landlord and tenant litigation this
winter" said Monahan, will find be-
tween $500 and 1000 families evicted
every month" Since the first of the
year 28,050 eviction actions we're filed
while in the same period last year
there was 20,150 At this rate there
will be more than $4,000 evictions in
the Bronx by the end of the year.

Every week accidents are happen
ing. Due to the speed-up, on Tues
day, July Is, in the Power Press Dept,
a worker cut piece of his finger off.
The workers are talking organiza-

ing. The boss, Mr.. Levin, smells some
thing is going on. In order to keep
the workers from organizing, he is
telling them that he will raise their
wages, according to the Blanket Code.
But what really is happening today
is more speed up. He wants to lay off
higher paid men and hire new ones
at lower wages The prices are cut
on piece rates.
Workers In the Presto, organize in
your department. Draw up your own
code. Demand to be paid for waiting
time. Mr. Levin would not give you
a raise. You know him better than
that. The only way we will get dec

WASHINGTON, July 26.--Advice

Worker Sees Chance
for Union Recruiting
in State Job Bureau

To the Editor:
1 have been applying for job
at the New York State Employ
ment Bureau at 28th Street for
many months. Other workers with
whom I have spoken have been try
ing there for over six months.
The workers are becoming entire
ly disillusioned. They understand
the real import of the forced labor
camps and the Recovery" act and
see through the ballyhoo spread
around the fake Investigation" of
Morgan and Mitchell.
One worker accompanied me to
the Food Workers Industrial Union
where he Joined the Hotel Workers
section.
A good deal of recruiting could
be done here by the unions. The
bureau has six floors which are di-
vided into departments of the vari-
Gus trades. Each of these depart
ments should be visited daily by
committees of unemployed members
from the unions. Workers failing to
get jobs month after month very
readily understand the need of or
ganization and the need for unem-
ployment insurance at the expense
of the bosses and their government.

APPROVE CODE
IN SILK, RAYON,
DYEING TRADES

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 26-
Codes for the silk and rayon dyeing
and printing industry were approved
by President Roosevelt yesterday
without any hearings and are to go
into effect Immediately. This is the
first time that a code has been made
legal without the pretense of hear
ing, and promises to set a precedent
for future codes which will be rail-
roaded through in similar man
ner.
The codes made effective by presi-
Dental order will affect approx
mately 10000 workers, who have had
nothing to say about the slave code
under which they are to work. The
code provides for a 40-hour week
with the provision that this may be
extended to IS hours. The minimum
wages fixed are As cents for men and
IS cents for women. Members of the
Labor Advisory Board who have al
ways declared their support Of equal
pay for equal work" have not raised
any protest against this discrimina-
ton.

GREEN FORCED
TO ADMIT FLOP
ON EMPLOYMENT
Comedies That July Is
Worse Month for Jobs
Than Was June

WASHINGTON, July 26.-In face
of the obvious deepening of the crisis
Bill Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, who has been
busy with Roosevelt ballyhoo to the
effect that workers are going back
to their jobs, is now compelled to ad-
nit that there 'is slowing up of
employment gains"
Further Deception of Members
Local unions affiliated with ma
tional and international bodies con-
nected with the A. F. of L. have been
demanding to know when the bless
ings" Of the new deal" that Green
supports may reach them. So now
Green is forced to admit that July
was worse month for unemployment
than June.
He tries further to deceive the
membership by praising the blanket
code Of starvation wages. He said !:
Union employment figures for July
come as a warning that business has
not been quick enough to reorganize
itself under the recovery program
The Presidents general code comes
just in time" Green, bu such decep-
tive talk, tries further to paraiyze &C
ton of the workers against the
Roosevelt program which manifests
itself more frequently in strikes.

DAIRY FARMERS
SET TUESDAY AS
DATE FOR STRIKE
Prepare Biggest Fight
Yet Against Lehman's
Milk Control Board

ALBANY, July 26.-Dairy farmers
are to go on strike next Tuesday
against the decision of Governor Leh-
mans Milk Control Board which has
fixed high prices to the consumers in
the cities in order to aid the milk
trust, while refusing to pay prices
covering the cost Of production TO
milk producers.
The decision of farmers in the Vi
cinity of Rochester and Syracuse to
withhold milk from the market until
demands for as per cent of the re-
tail price are met is approved by
farmers in all other parts of the state.
The leaders of the Empire Producers
Association, with membership of
several thousand, state that they
speak for not less than As 900 dairy
farmers. From Utica comes word
that those in Central New York will
join the Northern New York farmers
in stopping milk transportation.
Rousing Meetings TO Prepare
Deep unrest among the whole farm
population is seen in the meetings
being held in every town and village
in the dairy farming sections Of the
state. Local leaders are springing up
and there is every indication that this
strike will far surpass anything that
ever occurred among the farmers.
Besides the bigger association that
is concentrated mostly in the north
ern parts, there are springing up
county organizations all the way
down TO Albany and below for ap-
proximately fifty miles.
Prepare Strike Breaking Machine
The Milk Control Board, an agency
of the dairy trust which was created
to maintain and increase high mono
poly prices to consumers and to force
low monopoly prices to producers SC
that the dairy trust could rake in
enormous profits, threatens to use all
the means Of coercion at the hands
of the state government to try to
smash the strike.
With the legislature in session at
Albany, however, the farmers feel
that they can bring pressure enough
to bear on members of the state as
sembly from the farm districts to
make them fear for their seats at the
elections next year. The Tammany
gang that dominates the Lehman ad-
ministration is alarmed at the turn
of events and is trying to prevent
the matter coming up in the special
session of the legislature,
Preparing to Attack Farmers
Already the Lehman administra-
ton, through its Milk Control Board,
is issuing lying statements trying to
brand the farmers as outlaws because
they demand a fair price for their
produce.

Mella went on hunger strike last

demonstrations on his behalf in every

government to release him.
His life, however, was threatened
by Machados armed gangs, and he
escaped to Central America. After
great hardships he managed to reach
Mexico where he at once became

The Cuban dictatorship made sew

visited Mexico and bestowed the
highest decorations of the Cuban
government on Mexican officials in
an effort to obtain Mella's expulsion
from the country.
In addition, the Machado regime
tried to inflame the backward masses
against Mella by circulating the false
charge that az a demonstration he
had torn up a Cuban flag. The

borated with Machado in preparing
acts of provocation against Mella.
81 Die for the Revolution"
On January 10, 1929, a Cuban
warned Mella that two paid assas-
sins had arrived in Mexico City from
Havana and had visited the Cuban
embassy that very morning. Mella
was warned that his life was in grave
danger, Half an hour later, Mella
was walking down the street called
Abraham Gonzalez with the we'll
known Communist artist, Tina Mo-
dotti. From behind fence, two men
fired at him point blank.
As Mella fell, he cried, 81 die fol-
the revolution!" He was rushed tc
the hospital, where he issued state
ment saying he had been shot by two
paid assassins of the Machado gov
eminent. Shortly afterward he died
Two days after Mella died, Mella
clubs began to spring up all over
Latin America and in the Latin Am
erican colonies and in this country
These and other organizations have
continued up to the present to agitatt
against the Machado government for
the Mella murder.
The Communist Party openly ac-
cused the Machado government Of
having organized the murder Of
Mella. 1t was well known that the
Cuban secret service in Mexico City
was headed by Jose Magrinat, and
both the Communist Party and Tina
Modotti charged him with engineer
ing the crime.
Press Shielded Machado
The reactionary Mexican press, on
the other hand, attempted to shield
Machado. 1t insinuated that Tina
Modotti was involved in the murder
trying to make it appear that it was
q crime of passion. Nevertheless
the evidence against Magrinat was
sufficiently strong to compel the
Mexican authorities to arrest him
He was. however, released and i'm
mediately fled to Cuba.
In 1882 a woman informed the
Mexican police that her lover, Jose
Valinas, WHO had threatened to kill
her was one of the two killers of
Mella. She added that he carried out
the assassination in completely with
Jose Magrinat and the Cuban am
bassador Fernandez Mascara. Her
denunciation led to Valinas' arrest
and conviction.
The trial established the fact that
from the day of Mella's murder in
1929 until Valinas' arrest in 1882, Va
linas received regularly fifty dollars
month from the Cuban embassy
in Mexico City.
