Through the years Green's policy
on social insurance has been ex-
actly the same as the policy of the
United States imperialist govern
ment, program of refusal to grant
federal unemployment insurance.
Green has from time to time used
just that amount of demagogy, adj
vocating unemployment insurance"
in general, which he considered
necessary to hoodwink the in
creasingly FESTIVE rank and file. But
Green, like Roosevelt, advocates
only those reserves" measures such
as the Wagner-Lewis bill which
give the totally unemployed no
benefits and hold the threat OF
blacklist as the penalty for mill
fancy over those at work.

Men Strike
State Employees Are

Union Opposition
lspeelal o the Daily Workerl

HAVANA, Aug. 13.-Three thou
sand workers, employed in the mail
and government telegraph service,
are solidly out on strike throughout
the island, openly accepting the
leadership of the revolutionary OPP
position of the Photographers Asso-
citation.
In a strike assembly of 1000 in
Havana, the strike vote was taken
as the government Unanswered to
protect the Machadistas supporters
of Machado) by closing public Of
fees for three days.
The strike committee Of 40 was
directly elected, stating in its first
bulletin its open adhesion to the line
Of the opposition of telegraphists.
Before abandoning their posts the
telegraphers wired the entire island
to spread the strike Immediately
The strikers carried off all bulbs
and strategic mechanical parts in
the apparatus. The government is

with the military technical corps to
this hour.
Secretary of communications Sua-
rez was driven from the strikers as
sembly when he pleaded for a re-
turn to work on the basis that the
strike is against the government. A
special telegraph service from Camp
Columbia, headquarters of Batista,
to the Presidential Palace, has been
broken.
Over 100 strikers volunteered for
the special picket committee which
has begun to act, Gripping the COM
munication lines. There are no
strikebreakers.
The demands include old age re-
tirement pension, hiring b. merit
wages at level of 1929, firing Of ell

Crop Slash
to Continue
Next Year
Roosevelt Is Forced to
Discuss Demands for
Farm Relief

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The
Roosevelt government today was
finally forced to take official rec
ignition of the tremendous profits
which are being reaped by Wall
Street food monopolies and grain
spectators resulting from the I'M
precedented crop destruction of the
A. A. A. and the drought.
Roosevelt is comforting with his
aids on the drought crisis.
The appalling misery in the coun-
tryside is also compelling the
Roosevelt government to consider
taking some relief actions. To the
present moment, Roosevelt has ap-
propriated only $225 100000 to re-
lieve situation which has caused
at least $5,0O0,000,ooO damage, ac-
cording to the estimates of Roose-
velt's personal observer in the
drought area, Lawrence Westbrook,
administrator of the F. E. r. A.
But the recognition of the food
gouging that is already taking place
and which will rise rapidly to chisel
another slice out of every workers
pay envelope has taken only the
form of the vaguest promises that
the government will not permit
the Wall Street monopolies to profit
unfairly"
This, Of course, will not give
the slightest help or protection to
a single workers household, which
will have to pay whatever the
mon0polies ask.
In addition, Roosevelt's Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace has
already given his approval in adj
vance to profiteering and gouging
food prices by his warming" that
3 "riSe in the price Of bread, milk
and butter cannot be avoided"
In addition, Wallace is mo5ilizing
he government machinery to pre-
vent any increase in next years
crops that will endanger the mon
opoly grip on the country's food
supply. Wallace is determined that
there shall not be any substantial
increase in crops.
The extortionate processing taxes
which have been levied on farm
products will again be levied this
year.
They will take out of the pockets
of the city consumers more than
$500,00o, 000. This enormous sum is
what the city consumers pay to sub
sidize the crop destruction which in
turn sends prices upward.

Negro Dockers Strike
In Defense of Leaders
Fired for Organizing

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. Eighty
Negro stevedores organized into a
local Of the Marine Workers Indus
trial Union two weeks ago are win
ming their labor spurs in a strike
against the Mississippi Barge Line
here. The strike was called by a
unanimous and unhesitating vote
after two of the leaders of the union
were discharged for their activities.
A small number of white men work
ing as cargo checkers also joined
the strike.
Besides reinstatement of the dis
charged leaders, the men are de-
manding a 15-cent increase to bring
their wages to SO cents an hour;
pay for all enforced idle time after
they have reported for work; an
eight-hour day and eight hours pay

The Unemployed Council has Of

on the picket lines and for relief.
The ranks of the strikers remain

Vital Issues for Workers to Face AL Convention

manded that William Green sup
port the Workers Unemployment
and Social Insurance Bill. The
Workers Bill is the only bill before
the workers which applies to all
unemployed without discrimination,
which holds the federal government
responsible for the unemployed,
which calls for taxing corporations
and using war funds for the unem-
ployed.
The Strike Wave
Green has also given ample evil
dence of where he stands on the
problems growing out of the strike
wave. At the convention of the A.
F. of L. steel union on June IA, and
earlier, in the setting up of the
Auto Labor Board, Green repeated
that the policy of the A. F. of L.
was a policy of industrial peace"
He declared that the A. F. of L.
calls strikes only as last resort. "
In the marine industry as we'll he
attempted to prevent strikes, and
after they were called, Green sent
out instructions to the Central
Labor bodies forbidding them to

Fifty Strike
Resolutions
Introduced
ALL. Officials Seek to
Prevent Walkouts
From Spreading

NEW YORK. - With ap-
proximately $50 delegates
from 20 states, the National
Convention of the United
Textile Workers of America
opened yesterday in t he
Woodstock Hotel to consider
one paramount question: decision
on whether or not to declare a
strike
Thomas MacMahon, president Of
the A. F. of L. textile union, sounded
the keynote of the position of the
international officers when he de-
clared: I'VE will not be driven to
the point where we will lose our
balance" MacMahon and other A.
F. of l.. leaders we're in the opening
speeches setting the stage for an at
tempt to prevent the spread of tex
tile strikes which already dot the
country.
The strength of the pressure for
a general strike in the industry can
be seen from the fact that more
than so separate resolutions were
introduced into the convention de-
manding a general strike.
Most of these resolutions were in
troduced by Southern delegates.
There is a large bloc of Southern
delegates who are determined to
take an aggressive stand for gen.
eral strike. There are already many
individual strikes in Alabama and
throughout the South.
An indication of the fact that the
textile workers throughout the
country are cycling this convention
and expecting a decision for strug-
gle is seen in the telegram sent
to MacMshon by E. B. Newberry,
U. T. W. organizer in Columbus,
Georgia, where two strikers were
recently murdered while picketing.
NewberTy telegraphed to the con-
vention:
After comforting with the Com
m1SSlOnofS OF the department OF
Labor, they advised that 1 con-
tact you Immediately for counsel
to prosecute the murderers, as 1t
Is impossible to get justice from
local attorneys. City police are
planning to pin the murder on
one of our boys and we have
thirty-two eyewitness to tragedy.
Please advise at once"
MacMahon declared that the exec
utive board would meet between
sessions and decide on an answer
The A. F. of l.. leaders who spoke
attempted to convince the delegates
that the MIRA. and the government
represent their interests and oppose
the employers.

were on a hunger strike
against miserable treatment
ended their fast Sunday after
winning better food, blankets
and other concessions, but not
lowering of bail The workers had
been arrested in the fascist raids
following the general strike and are
being held on vagrsncy charges.
In Sacramento, the trial Of rs
workers arrested on vagrsrcy
charges continues. The City Coun-
Gil has hired a special prosecutor.
| Vigilantes have threatened to at
/ tack Defense Attorney O'Hara of
the International Labor Defense.
Pat Chambers, Caroline Decker and
several other imprisoned workers
are defending themselves in court.
Conference Plans Mass Meeting
Meanwhile new steps in the fight
against the anti-working class ter
ror here were mapped yesterday
when IS delegates from unions,
fraternal organizations and church
groups met at a provisional confer
ence on workers rights. The dele
gates formed a large committee,
made plans for a broader confer
ence on Aug. 26, and announced
that they would call monster mass
meeting soon in the City Audi
tooriumm.
The delegates declared they
would take legal steps through
committee Of attorneys if the city
refuses the use of this auditorium.
Actions decided upon at the p-o-
visional conference include a ma
tionwide campaign among medical
societies in connection with the ar
rest Of DR.. Franklin Bissel on
trumped-up technicality. DR.. Bis
sci, sent by the International La
Dor Defense to examine the health
of imprisoned workers on hunger
strike, was arrested and is being
held on $500 cash bail, charged with
not being registered in this county.
DIR. Bissel is demanding a jury trial.
All medical groups through the
country are being urged to rush
protests to Judge Steiger,, Hall Of
Justice, San Francisco.
vigilantes Identified
Workers of Richmond have iden-
titled many vigilantes, including the
attorney of the Standard Oil COR
poration and a member of the City
Council. Others have been identi-
fed here and elsewhere. The thugs
in all cases were directly led by
the police.
Signature collectors have been
called before the grand jury for to-
night in drive to take the Com
munist Party off the ballot. Street
meetings still are being attacked
and broken up. 1t is obvious that
the authorities are making strong
concerted effort to keep the work
ing class movement here on its
present semi-legal basis.
A fight was reported looming in
the convention of the American
Legion concerning the reactionary
advertisements placed in papers by
Legion leaders during the strike.
Rumors indicate that there will be
powerful opposition to the anti
radical and deportation resolutions
to be presented by leaders of the
Legion tonight.

Pickets Call
for Release
of Ordoqui

NEW YORK.-Car-ying placards
demanding the immediate release of
Joaquin Ordoqui, imprisoned Cuban
working class leader, a small but
steady line of pickets paraded back
and forth before II Battery Pl., the
huge building in which the Cuban
consulate has its offices.
Forming at IL o'clock noon, the
pickets kept their line unbroken
all day, new recruits continually
arriving to relieve those who had
been in the line for more than an
hour. While they marched back
and forth before the building, one
of the workers waiting for placard
went up to the Consulate Offices on
the eleventh floor and left a leafiet
on Ordoquis case with one of the
consul aids.
Foster Urges Protest
Urging the intensification of the
campaign for Ordoqui, William z.
Foster, general secretary of the
Trade Union Unity League, and out
standing American working class
leader, yesterday issued the follow
ing statement:
"The Cuban National Con-
federation of Labor which has
been able to penetrate the most
basic and strategic positions in
industry, grouping over 100000
workers, has led, especially during
the last year, together with the
Communist Party Of Cuba, the
greatest economic struggles. The
arrest and persecution of Joaquin
Ordoqui, its Secretary General, is
in fact blow against the Con-
federation of Labor, that is,
against the entire working class
of Cuba.
Oh behalf of the revolutionary
movement of Cuba, 1 appeal to
all the workers of the United
States. organized and unorganized

ENGLISH NEWSPAPER
REPORTS BRUTALITY
TOWARD THAELMANN

LONDON, Aug. 13-Severe mis-
treatment, which includes beatings
with whips, is meted out to Ernst
Thaelmann, imprisoned Communist
leader of the German working
class, is the latest report published
in the Manchester Guardian, fam
Gus English paper.
The report states:
"The latest tactic of the Ger
man authorities in dealing with
Ernst Thaelmann is to transfer
him from one prison cell TO an
other continuously. He has been
severely mistreated, being hit
number Of times with whips. This
treatment is aimed to break him
down, to weaken his resistance"
All delegations are refused per-
mission to visit Thaelmann or get
any information as to his where
abouts or health.
Enraged by the thousands of let
tiers that come every day to Thael-
mann, the Nazi authorities refuse
to disclose whether Thaelmann is
given any of his mail. But all postal
receipts are signed only by the Nszi
warden of the Moabit prison in
Eerlin.
