VENDETTA "SEIZES PHONE PLANT TO LULL CUBAN MASSES
BUT WALL STREET STILL OWNS IT AND GETS ALL PROFITS
DepOsitors in
Defunct Bank
Seek Auditing
Send Letter TO Court
On Accounting of
Superintendent

NEW YORK-The United De-
positors Committee of the Bank of
United States, the New York bank
which closed its doors two years
ago with tremendous loss to small
depositors, at q meeting Monday
voted TO ask for the material now
in the possession of the State Bank
ing Superintendent, in order to
audit it.
The text of the letter sent by
the committee to Supreme Court
Justice L. A. Valente, follows:
After the announcement in the
newspapers about the application of
the Superintendent of Banks for
an approval of his accounting and
for permission to pay 5 per cent
dividend, the depositors of the Bank
Of United States met at IL Clinton
ST., Manhattan, on August 9Th and
at 1915 43rd St., Boro Park, Brook
Ign, on August It'll.
1T was unanimously decided to
ask you to approve that part of
the application which refers to the
granting of the per cent dividend.
AT the same time depositors have
decided to ask you to withhold APP
proval of the accounting for the
period of one month to enable this
committee to study the accounting
submitted by the Superintendent of
Banks.
Eve ask you to direct the Su-
perintendent to furnish us with a
copy of the accounting and the
paper he has submitted on his pres
ent application. We also ask you
to direct the Superintendent to fur
nish us with such data in his poses
sion as may be necessary in order
that we may understand this &C
counting and check up on some of
the items.
1--WE want to call to your atten-
ton that the total costs of the
liquidation amount to over $780,
600, which we consider little too
much. Furthermore. of the sum of
over $20,000,000 disbursed by the
Superintendent since December.
1882, over 100000 was collected
before December, 1881, and about
100000 was collected before De-
cember, l932-which shows that the
expenses of over $2.O00,000 he had
in the period from December. 1882,
were too high when compared with
the collection during the same
period.
ION Aug. 10, 1884, we were in
formed by the Banking Depart
ment that they had less than S.
100000 in cash. Now they say that
they have $7,20O,ooo. We want to
know how they obtained the sum
of $l,200,000 in these three weeks.
by the decision of the depositors.
copies of this letter will be sent to
the press. Our secretary is in
structed to be present at the hear
ing and to submit an affidavit.
I'VE hope that you will handle
this matter with fairness to all
sides"

Olson's Fake Labor Sympathy
Exposed by Communist Party
Farmer-Labor Governor Follows Example of
Democrats and Republicans in Using Troops

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, August 8.
"A statement which tears the veil
of pretended sympathy with the
truck strike from Farmer Labor
Governor Floyd B. Olson and COM
pletely exposes his strike breaking
activity has been issued to work
ers in this city by the Communist
Party.
The statement likens Governor OIL
sons action in using troops against
the strike, to similar actions of the
Republican Governor Merriam of
California and the Democratic Gov
ernor White of Ohio. 1t calls on
Minnesota workers to elect Com
munists to public office as the only
guarantee that armed government
forces will not be used against
workers in future strikes.
while the Republican and
Democratic governors do their
strike breaking openly, the Farmer
Labor Governor Olson tries to
cover his strike-breaking actions
with nice-words," the statement
declares. He issues statement of
sympathy with the strikers, then
prohibits picketing. He uses harsh
words on the Citizens Alliances then
moves their trucks. He talks about
a new social order and supports
with his military rule the old rotten
order"

out that the aim of the sponsors
Of the CoStigan-W Wagner Bill was to
deceive the masses with illusions
that the lynch rulers would them
selves stop lynching, and thus
divert the masses from the neces-
sary mass fight against lynching.
The conference unanimously
adopted the program of action
brought back by the resolutions
committee. The main proposals of
this program are: % the widest
popularization of the L. s. N. r..
Bill; 90 signature and fund-rais-
ing campaign for the defense of the
Scottsboro Boys and Herndon; 80
another national conference in Oc-
tober, at which a delegation will
be elected to go before Congress to
demand passage of the L. s. N. r.
Bill.
The conference voted authority to
the resolutions committee to call a
meeting of all delegates present,
which would resolve itself into a
Committee of Action with power to
enlarge itself and to carry out the
decisions of the conference. Harry
Haywood was elected secretary of
the Committee of Action, and Davis,
assistant secretary.
Wednesday nights conference is
the first of series of national
Scottsboro-He conferences to
be held throughout the country.

This action was forced upon Men
dieta as a result of the recent strike
In which the company refused to
rehire 256 strikers.
Mendieta's action, however, does
not in the slightest infringe upon
the property rights of the Wall
Street stockholders, who retian
full right to their properties and
their profits from the company.
Mendieta, striving to steer be-
tween the course of appearing as an
opponent of Wall Street imperial
ism and at the same time DESTROYS
of showing the imperialistS that he
is loyal servant, is caught in a
contradiction which may cause him
difficulties with his Wall Street
masters, it is reported, since the
American imperialists who domin-
ate the Cuban government do not
like to see actions which interfere
with the big Wall Street interests.

Telegraph Company controls the

to bargain for better conditions for
Japan at the Toxic conference
dealing with the sale Of the Chin
csc Eastern Railroad.
This is proved by the fact that
Japanese newspapers, on July 80,
had already very optimistically ap-
praised relations between Japan and
the .. S. S. R. asserting that at the
Forthcoming agreement regarding
the Chinese Eastern Railroad" all
questions of japanese Soviet rela-
tons would be easily settled" AS
soon as the report was published,
however, that during those nego-
tiations the Soviet delegation had
decline to accept the conditions Of
Japan, the Japanese press started
q violent anti-Soviet campaign.
On their part, the Mancnurian
newspapers tried to outdo the
Toxic press, without hesitating to
direct their threats at the breakup
of relations with Soviet consulates.
The comparison merely suggests
Itself with last year when the anti
Soviet campaign started at ap-
prcximately the same time, with
the same object of exerting pres
sure upon the u. S. S. r. in con-
nection with the Toxic conference.
1t resulted in the Imprisonment in
Manchuria of a number of abs
olutely guitless employees and work
ers Of the Chinese Eastern Rail-
road.
The initiators of these methods
of pressure are, however, taking too
great responsibility upon them
selves. While they are applying
their methods in vain, large cor
porations and certain of their fer
vent executives as well as other
extreme elements of Manchuria who
have always sought the breaking
up Of every effort towards peace
full establishment Of Japanese
Soviet relations, are utilizing this
occasion for their provocative aims.

1t would have been possible to
save practically all of the livestock

action in shipping in necessary

GALLUP, N. M, Aug. 9-Unem-

Federal Emergency Relief jobs last
week after wages for unskiled work
ers were SlashSd ten cents an hour.
The striking relief workers are
demanding a six-hour day and four
day week at wages of fifty cents an
hour. In addition to the demands
for guaranteed minimum wage
rates, the workers demand payment
every week and that no workers be
Disseminated against for strike ac-
tivity.
Stating that the wage cut would
permit the F E. R. A. to put more
men to work on the projects, the
relief officials slashed wages
throughout the state. In Gallup,
the examiners, with the tradition
of militant strike under the lead
ership of the National Miners Union
in the past year, refused to accept
the wage cut.
The Gallup relief workers are
calling upon all relief workers in
the state to join them in the strike
for return of the 20 per cent wage
cut.
