ROTARY CLUB
ENJOYS TALK
ABOUT MEXICO

| In an extremely interesting ad
dress, which indicated keen obser.
yation and a sympathetic under,
standing of the Mexican people
Mrs. Frank Anderson delighted
members of the FL Centre Rotary
club at the regular meeting thi;
noon with splendid talk on Mexico
and its inhabitants.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson spent sew
eral months in Mexico during the
past winter and spring, spending
much of their time in and about
Mexico City, but taking side-tripS
to other sections of the southern
part of the country.
Mrs. Anderson colorfuily described
homelife, customs and character
istics of the people. their art work
and architecture. and paid high
tribute to their ability to inspire the
visitor to admiration as a result
of the naturalness of their lives.
A considerable period of their
time was spent in the state of Oaxa-
ca, the inhabitants OF that state
having retained much of the pure
Indian strain. giving excellent op-
portunity to study their racial char
acteristicS and customs for COM
parison with more Latinized sections
of the country.
She presented an excellent des-
cription of the ruins of the Mayan
and Aztec architecture, which are
now the subject of extensive research
by the Mexican government and
scientific bodies from all parts of
the world, and highly praised the
skill of the ancient workmen who
designed and constructed magnifi-
cent temples and monuments.
Mrs. Anderson streSsli the hos
pitality of the people throughout
Mexico to foreign visitors, the gov
eminent stressing the desirability of
building up the tourist trade by en-
couraging visitors from the United
States and other countries. This
hospitality, she explained, is inher-
ent in the Mexican people, both La
tins and the indians, and though
sensitive to criticisms or rudeness
from foreigners they welcome with
open arms those who come to visit
them in friendly attitude.
She asserted that Mexico presents
most delightful place for the tour
list, a fact which she believes is be-
coming recognized by the American
people and is stimulating extensive
travel to the southern republic.

NRA Orders
/ Week Stop
In Silk Mills
10000 Laid-Off in 900
Mills Because of
"Overproduction''

NEW YORK, May 3.-The Silk
Textile Code Authority of the
National Recovery Administration
has ordered complete shutdown
of all mills operating under the N
r. A. Silk Code for a period of one
week, May IA, 81. This order lays
off 10000 employees, working in 900
mills.
Peter Van Horn, chairman of the
Code Authority stated that the
present curtailment would not per-
manently relieve the situation" OF
"overstocked" markets and said that
additional shut-d downs would follow
unless market conditions improved "
Thus the N. R. A. code authority is
laying off thousands of silk workers.
In pre-crisis years there were over
$4,000 workers employed during the
month of May. Indications are at
present that even after the opening
of the mills, many workers will not
be taken back and the whole indus
try will be further curtailed.
Mills have been working only
about three days week in many
cases and some have been working
as little as ten days a month, it

Preparations

A. F. of l.. Rank and
File Forces Action for
General Strike
fspeciaI 70 the DaiIy Workerl

Especial to the Daily Worker
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 3.-Al-
though outmaneuvered by Mike
Tighe, reactionary president, at the
conclusion of the 59th national
convention of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers Ca .L), who ruled out
their well-drawI plans of action
for new constitution, the rank
and file opposition succeeded in
passing a motion for preparation
Of general strike action.
The rank and file opposition in
the A. A. convention, sensing that
Tighe intended to adjourn the con-
vention, rallied their forces and
succeeded in passing q resolution
! calling for the presenting Of de-
mands for the six-hour day, five
day week, a dollar an hour mini
mum wages and proportional in
creaseS in pay on all jobs. The
resolution included the demand for
abolition of the differential wage
rate between north and south (the
southern steel workers now getting
lower wages.
All of the new lodges are to pre-
sent their economic demands and
demands for recognition on May
81. On June 20, if the demands are
not adhered to, the lodges are to
take offensive action" These re-
Gently formed lodges have no agree
ment, as hove some of the older
lodges whose yearly agreement ex-
pires next month.
The resolution of the rank and
file opposition calling for a general
strike was passed by the conven-
ton, but as passed, the resolution
is specifically against local strikes
(the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union calls for the imme-
date preparation of strike action
in each mill, and is definitely in
favor Of developing local strikes
wherever possible for the demands
Of the steel workers..
The opposition delegates sue
ceeded in passing resolution call
ing for the setting up by the con-
vention of committee to be in
charge of the offensive action. 3"
Tighe said, after the passage of this
resolution, that he washes his
hands of the whole business"
Before the convention adjourned
Tighe succeeded in sidetracking
the motions of the opposition for
redrafting the constitution and for
industrial unionism and trade union
democracy.

Johnson Admits
W ill Start Anothe r
Campaign to Conceal
Growing Crisis

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Another
campaign of organized ballyhoo for
the N. R. A. will be launched
within the next 80 to so days. it was
announced yesterday by General
Hugh Johnson, chief N.R.A. admin
istrator.
The need for this new propa-
ganda drive comes from the lapse
of public enthusiasm over the
Codes" Johnson admitted bluntly.
Why the public interest" in the
codes has "lapsed" he did not dis
cuss.
The N. r. A. codes have been in
operation for almost a year. The
promise of prosperity" which &C.
companied their adoption has not
materialized On the contrary, the
codes have reduced wages through
out the country, and have intro
duced speed-up and stretch-out as
we'll as spread-work plans Profits
have risen, while the real wage of
the workers has ben cut at least 10
per cent by the codes.
What form the new ballyhoo for
the codes will take was not dis
closed. Last year parades were held
all over the country in which thou
sands of workers were forced to
march. A nation wide ballyhoo
campaign for the N. R. A. is already
being organized for the press.

an unprecedented scene of cheering
and enthusiastic shouting of pledges
Of international solidarity of the

Immediately issued a warrant for
the arrest of Comrade Patterson on
the grounds Of Illegal entry, which
upon conviction carries a penalty of

Especial to the Daily WOrker)

DETROIT, Mich, May 3.-The
Automobile Labor Board, together
with the A. F. of L. leaders and
Fisher Body Corporation officials,
have resorted to new, tricky maneu-
vers to stall off the workers at the
Cleveland Fisher Body plant, whose
militant one-week strike was broken
Sunday by A. F. of L. chiefs and
the men sent back to work pend
ing negotiations"
After pow-wowing for three days
in the General Motors Building
here, the conferences were con-
cluded last night with not even the
pretenSe of granting any conces-
sions to the workers. The follow
ing official statement was issued by
the Roosevelt governments Auto
Labor Board:
1.-THE third conference was held
this afternoon and satisfactory
progress was made. The next stage
in the negotiations will take place
at the individual plants"
This is fragrant piece of buck
passing that is designed further to
drag negotiations out and hide the
treachery of the A. F. of L. officials
and the Labor Board. Meanwhile
the peak production season is
drawing to close and soon the
majority of the men will be out on
the street.
The brazen character of the sell
out by the A. F. of L. leaders, Col
Inns, Dillon, Marks and company
is clear from the fact that they
originally requested conferences
with the Labor Board to deal with

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 3.-"Bol-

admitted "the fine" and efficient
manner" in which his police broke
up the demonstration, killing two
workers, wounding hundreds and
arresting 200.
This May Day, 1884, 10000
Cleveland workers hurled their
defiance at Mayor Davis and the
bosses he represents, and poured
into Public Square, in CIeveland's
most impressive May Day demon
stration since 1919.
Headed by floats and bands, three
huge columns of workers paraded
from different parts of the city,
converging on the Square, where
they roared their demands for bet
ter conditions, for the right to or
ganize and strike and for a united
front of all proletarians against
Hunger, Fascism and War.
Negro workers, who by their
