U. S. Imperialism

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 7.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is due
here today on stunning trip to
this, the worst hell-hole of misery
Of all the possessions of American
imperialism.
Although it is one Of the most
fertile spots in the Americas, no
food can be grown here because
every inch of land has been seized
by the big sugar companies and
planted to suear-cane. In conse-
quence, even vegetables have to be
imported from the United States.
Out Of population of 100000,
there are 100000 without work, and
the average wage is 40 to As cents
day, while living costs are much
higher than In New York.
A strong growth Of militancy
among the island workers and peas
ants first brought Rose Schneider
man, strikebreaking Labor leader
and MIRA. official, and now the
presidents wife, in an effort to head
off the workers discomfort with
phrases and promises which, how
ever, will not change the funda-
mental cause of the misery of this
island, which Is in the death grip of
the American sugar and shipping
monopolieS on the whole economy of
the island.

in brutal assault on the jobless workers who came

What did the Bridgeport workers want yes

be paid for the snow shoyeNtng the city had per-

he proposes to run 1t in capitalist way-for the
benefit OF the capitalist bondholders and big real

to preserve the city's income for the citys bond
holders.
That il why an his Socialist" pre-election
promises turned to ashes soon as he took office.
For to Socialist Mayor, like to any frankly CAPT

to club jobless workers and arrest their leader
Samuel Krieger, all in good capitalist style.

FATAL LOOT GIVEN
GIRL FOR WEDDING
Fiancee of Alleged Chief OF
MiIIen Gang Tells of Re-
ceiving Money.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DEDHAM, Mass, May 1.-Wearing
q fraternity pin symbolizing her en-
gagement to wed, the fiiancee of Abe
Faber, one of three men on trial for
murder, testified in Dedham court
yesterday that a wedding present he
gave her included loot from a bank
taken at the price of two lives
The witness was Miss Rose Knellar
of Boston. Faber, graduate of one
OF the countrys leading engineering
schools is charged, together with
Murton and Irving Millen, brothers,
with robbing the Needham Trust Co.
and killing two policemen.
Miss Knellar told of days as the
sweetheart of the man the State con-
tends led the Millen-Faber gang dur
ing brief but spectacular and bloody
career of crime.
Two Bundles of Money.
One Sunday morning as they were
riding IN an automobile, she testified,
Faber gave her two large paper
wrapped bundles.
He said, here's present for you"
she related. Il said. What kind of
a present.? and he said, a wedding
present I asked who it came from
and he answered that he would
rather not say"
She did not open the packages, she
said, until later, after reading some
thing in newspaper" and found they
contained money.
She then told of consulting a law
yer and turning the money over to
Daniel Needham, State commissioner
of public safety. Needham later ap-
peared to corroborate this part of her
testimony and said she gave him
$3.50, including $500 which had
been identified as Needham Bank
funds.
Promised Protection.
The girl admitted she was under
indictment and that she had been
told by the district attorney she
would not be prosecuted if she testi-
fed. She persistently denied that
Faber had said the money was a gift
from Murton Millen.
On her entry into the court room
she passed behind the prisoners cage,
but her fance did not lift his eyes.
He sat huddled in corner of the
cage as he has sat since the trial
opened
Another witness, Saul Messenger of
Coney Island, N. Y, told of a CONVEX
sation with Murton Millen some time
after the robbery, quoting Murton as
saying the police were after him, that
he would never be taken alive, and
that he was leaving tor Washington
or Miami.
