Cuban Sugar Here
Reaches Low Mark

Cuban raw sugar in licensed
New York warehouses is reported
at the lowest total for this sea-
son Of the year since 1925 by the
New York Coffee and Sugar Ex-
change. The total was estimated
at 28,113 compared with the high
point Of 227,000 tons on August
10.
The current low stocks, accord
ing to the exchange, are para.
doxial in view of the expectation
that the first of the year will
make available about 100000 tons
of Philippine sugar, now i'm
pounded.
It also indicated that between
100000 and 100000 tons of sugar
will be available for refining here
after the turn of the year.

Letter Says
Thaelnann
Is Tortured
Struggled Report from
Jail Says His Life
Is in Danger
Special to the Daily Workerl

PARIS, May 9.-"Ernst Thael-
mann, leader of the Communist
Party of Germany, is again being
subjected TO torture and the third
degree in the torture cellars of the
Nazi Gestapo (Secret State Police"
report 5muggled out of Moabit
prison just received here states.
This means a renewed and
greater danger to the life of our
Comrade Thaelmann," says the let
ter sent out of prison. The prison
comrades OF Thaelmann plead with
the workers throughout the world to
do everything possible to demand
that outside doctors be permitted to
visit Thaelmann and to examine
him, in an effort to save his life, as
they fear he will be tortured to
death, and has already been badly
injured.
Workers in France, Belgium and
Switzerland are organizing medical
delegations to go to Berlin and to
demand the right to visit and make
a medical examination of Comrade
Thaelmann.
Since the letter telling of the great
danger to the life of Comrade
ThaeImann was smuggled to the
outside world, the chief Nazi hang
men, Goering and Goebbels, have
issued direct threats against Thael-
mann in their efforts to crush the
rising activities of the Communist
Party of Germany.
Only the most immediate world
wide action can save the life of
our heroic anti-fascist fighter,
Ernst Thaelman. No time can be
lost! Protests should be made
everywhere! All workers organi-
cations should adopt messages of
protest and wire them to Hitler,
Goering or Goebbels, demanding
the release of Thaelmann. Ger
man Consulates should be visited
by workers delegations demand
ing the freedom of Thaelmann,
demanding the right of doctors
from other countries to visit and
examine Thaelmann.
Save the life of Comrade ThaeI-
mann!

COLUMBUS, Ohio. May 9. =
With fully 100 striking relief work.
ers in Jail, relief in the hands Of the
police and the militia, and the
police and relief officials openly
attempting to recruit scabs, prep
araticns are being made by strik-
ing workers to call general relief
strike in the entire state.
In Butler County. some 35 are
still in Jail for picketing in the
relief strike which is now in its
fourth week. In Meigs County, the
strike headquarters of the relief
workers was raided and II are
being held for the federal govern
ment." Since all are native born,
this is just an alibi for holding the
workers without any charge.
Indications point to a general tie
up of all workers-unemployed
workers on relief work and A. F. of
L. workers getting less than so
cents an hou-in a general state
wide strike.
Manufacturers and relief heads
have openly stated that they have
refused to give the relief workers
a living wage of SO cents an hour
because they would be spurred on
to demand wages equal at least to
that paid relief workers.

veterans and hundreds of workers
meeting at Union So, gave con-

boarded buses for the great gather

A distinctive feature of the dele

MANCHESTER. N. H. May O.
The Amoskeag Manufacturing Co.
the worlds largest cotton mill, re-
manned completely closed today. Ten
thousand workers remain on strike
against the National Labor Board
decision which provides from a five
to ten percent increase for 1000
workers and nothing for the major
ity. The demand is a 25 per cent
increase and direct dealings with
company representatives instead of
albitrati supervised by govern
ment boards.
The strike is continuing despite
the declarations of Horace Riviere
and John Powers. United Textile
Worker officials. that it is illegal
and that the strikers must return to
work Riviere and Powers are
working hand in hand with the
demagogic Gov. Winant to break
the walk-cut. George Berry, In
dustrial Relations Board labor
representative, who demanded that
the workers abide by the ruling of
the arbitrator, has also failed in
his purpose.
Riviere is trying the scheme Of
calling department meetings and
threatening the workers with pub
lie opinion" He has issued false
stories to the capitalist press about
the desire Of the workers to return
to work. But the mill is the scene
all day of thousands of the strik-
ers demonstrating against the own
erS and the government board and
announcing their intentions of not
returning till their demands are
met.
