Spectre of Dillinger
Seen i'm 10 States

PITTSBURGH, April 8. - The
spectre of John Dillinger, notorious
bank robber, apparently seems to
be floating all over the country, as
the widespread search for the es-
capped criminal goes on by Federal
officials. Latest reports show that
Dillinger was seen here early today
riding in an automobile.
A week ago, he presumably shot
his way out of a st. Paul apartment
where an accomplice of his was
wounded. Other reports coming
from the Department of Justice say
that he is still in Minnesota. So
far, he has been seen in about nine
teen different States.

in an article signed by George Bern

1t was then that the Communist
paper in the Saarbrucken, the

Seize Sugar As

NY. Worker, Given Two

Strike of Sixty
Special to the Daily Worker

Special to the Daily Worker
HAVANA, April (By Cable)
AS the sugar harvest comes to
an end, and the bosses are at
tempting once again to cut wages,
or even refusing to pay wages for
work done, the revolutionary
movement of the peasants and
sugar workers is rising once more.
Two thousand workers have
gone on strike at the Nazabel CEN
trail against an attempt to re-
introduce a Accent a day wage.
Strikes have broken out in the
past week in four sugar centrals
in Santa Clara province, in the
Miranda and America centrals in
Orineta, and the Toledo central in
Havana province.
At the Santa Rita and Aus
trialia centrals, the workers have
seized the sugar and the com
panies failed to pay wages.
Sixty workers held in .Cabana
fortress, Havana, for violating the
Caffery- Mendieta DEGREES against
strikes, went on a hunger strike
last night, demanding release and
protesting against the arbitrary
procedure of the tribunals.
Among the leaders of the hung
er strike is Rolando Soria, young
member of the Julio Mella club
of Harlem, New York City, who
has been condemned to two years
in Jail for supporting a strike.
In Santa Clara prison, 16 work
ers were assaulted in their cells
by soldiers with machetes.

Serious Work Will Put
Communists in Congress
BrOwder States
By MARGUERITE YOUNG
Especial to the Daily Worker)

CLEVELAND, O., April 8.
The Eighth National Con-
vention of the Communist
Party of the United States
adjourned last night after
electing a new Central Committee
and punctuating with still tumul-
tuous applause summary of the
proceedings by Earl Browder, Gen
eral Secretary of the Party. Prais-
ing the great gains reflected by the
Convention, Comrade Browder also
cited weaknesses as sharply as and
even more concretely than he had
done in his report to the opening
session of the Convention. He
flung out this challenge:
IF we make use of the ire
mendous opportunities revealed
here in this Convention, in a
short time we will be a mass
Party. We will be leading serious
daily struggles, and we will be
seriously preparing the American
workers for their revolutionary
task"
Travelling homeward, chiefly in
great buses, 479 delegates already
were talking eagerly of what they
will do first, back home, to meet
Comrade PROVIDERS challange. They
were speaking thus, in fact, even as
they left the final session in a Cleve-
land church around which guns had
once been set up by police to greet
the participants in a Scottsboro
demonstration.
Calls for Communists in Congress

for consolidation and extending
victories in trade union work in

Federation of Labor, in the Negro
liberation movement-all the tasks
leading to winning the majority of

-Browder also again called
for the election of some Commu-
nists to Congress next fall.
81 don't know whether I have a
parliamentary deviation or not, but
I really have an ambition to go to
Congress-" Browder said, accenting
his call for serious Congressional
election campaigns by an informal
manner. "I think we can find five
or six who ought to be convinced
Of the necessity of making really
serious election campaigns. We
must remember that large masses
are swinging over to the Commu-
mist Party program, especially in
elections"
Therefore his call for the election
of some Communist Congressman is
mot Utopian," he declared. He
said, 1.-THE only condition for sue

MOSCOW, April 8. - Four days
after the signing of a ten-year ex-
tension of the non-aggression pacts
between the Soviet Union and
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the
Soviet Union today signed a similar

with Finland.
The original pact, signed in 1882,
is now extended to remain in force
until 1915.
Demonstrating its answering will
to peace, the Soviet Union, having
negotiated these extensions of the
pacts, has also made it clear that it
wishes to see similar pacts signed
between all countries.
