MEND|ETA DENIES
MACHAD0 APPEAL
Cuban President Aroused by
Reports He Sought Pred
ecessor's Aid.

Aroused by reports that he intended
to invite the assistance Of former
President Machado Of Cuba In putting
down an expected radical revolution,
Carlos Mendieta, present chief execu-
tive Of the island republic. issued q
vehement denial today through the
Cuban Embassy here. terming Machado
"the most detestable Of Cuban poll
ticians."
Detestable Politicians.
His statement follows:
IT am surprised, rather than to say
indignant, at the shameful news that
has been circulated to the effect that
I have invited former President Ma
chado to join me in sharing my presi-
Dental duties, in order to combat to-
gether an announced radical revolu-
ton.
II want the entire civilized world
to know, once and for all, that could
never become associated with the most
detestable Of Cuban politicians, man
who caused the ruin Of the country
and the deaths Of innumerable COM
patriots.
The Cuban people and their armed
forces are sufdcient to repress any
disturbance Of q radical nature and
also any riotous attempt on the part
Of the criminals who might desire to
support Machado. II 1t Is true that he
is conspiring.
First to Combat Despotism.
"I was the first one to combat des-
potism and 7, therefore, most en-

may prescribe, shall become effective
as part of the code.
4. To aid In the enforcement Of
code provisions relating to wages
above the minimum and to serve as
an aid and guide in making collective
agreements, II Is recommended that
the Department Of Labor be directed
to study definitions and classifica-
tions Of occupations and existing
wages for such occupations, and that
the information thus collected be
made available to labor and manage
ment Of the industry.
Conclusion:
The findings and recommendations
here submitted to you are based on
as comprehensive and careful . sur
vey as the situation permitted. The
board Is confident that these findings
and recommendations are fair and
reasonable; that they meet the basic
sources of the difnculty and that
they offer the possibility Of Q Just
and lasting settlement. We believe
further that they provide q sound
basis for that united action Of labor
and management" contemplated by
the recovery act and the recovery
program.
We, therefore, earnestly hope that
the United Textile Workers win call
OF the strike on the basis Of these

we request the employers in the in
dustry to take back the workers now

lective bargaining and other labor
provisions of the code, there shall be
created under public resolution No.
a an impartial board of three, to be
known as the Textile Labor Relations
Board, which shall be provided with
an adequate staff and other facilities.
This board shall have powers and
duties in the textile field similar to
those exercised by the National Labor
Relations Board and the Steel Labor
Relations Board in their respective
fields, and shall have authority to ad-
minister, in addition to section CD A,
other labor provisions OF the cotton,
silk and wool codes.
Investigation Proposed.
2. In order to obtain necessary
data upon the ability of the cotton.
silk and wool textile industries to
support an equal or a greater num-
Der of employees at higher wages, 1t
Is recommended that the President
direct the Department of Labor and,
in accordance with section (6) c Of
the recovery act, the Federal Trade
Commission to investigate and report
on these matters at the earliest pos
sible time.
3. For the purpose Of regulating
the use of the stretch-out system In
the cotton, wool and silk industries
1t is recommended that the respec-
tive codes be amended to provide that
a special committee be created under
the Textile Labor Relations Board to
supervise the use of the stretch-out;
that until February l, 1885. no en-
ployer shall extend the work load Of
any employe, except in special cir
cumstances with the approval Of the
Stretch-out Committee; that the
Stretch-out Committee shall have
power to investigate present work as
signments and where 1t finds i'm
proper speeding up Of work require re-
duction accordingly; that the stretch
out committee shall recommend to
the President not later than jan
uary l, 1885, a permanent plan. for
regulation of the stretch-out, under
which employers shall be required to
secure approval Of an impartial
agency prior to increasing the work
load Of the employees, which plan,
