Ins November. 1920, the writer ,hikea9 9oyer the trail from McGsrath to Ruby, where material enough to pnlna 2, small four column sheet was packed for shipment. The writer then started back over the trail, riding part of the way with be- hind Ben Derrick's, team of wolf dogs. The, printing plant, consisting of 1916 pounds, was later brought over the mail trail from Ruby to OphIr by Scotty Clark, at 20 cents per pound and from Ophir to McGrath by Billy Jones, well known freighter of those days. When the plant finally arrived at McGrath and opened, it was found, inprinters parlance,. to be in badly pied condition. The work of making the plant workable started in imme- diately, in which the printer had. as- sistance from United States com missioner and the focal school teacher and much advice from other sources.
 In 1923 the plant was moved to Ta- kotna and became, weekly instead of bi-weekly.

WELLSVILLE, Ohio, Aug. T.
The local unit of the Communist
Party has issued a leahet exposing
as a stupid lie" the charge printed
in the Wellsville News that Com
munists have a secret list of
churches scheduled for destruction
by dynamite and fire.
In clumsy, rustic imitation of its
metropolitan betters, the News at
tempted to create local anti-com-
munist Indictment by publishing in
its July % issue a. dispatch from
Washington, Ohio, reporting an ad-
dress on THE Menace of Com
munism" by DR.. Oscar Autritt at
a prayer meeting of the ultra
fashionable First Congregational
Church, where Calvin Coolidge, arch
foe of Communist principles, used
to worship"
DR.. Autritt declared that "in a
dark cellar in st. Louis I saw a
blueprint at least 20 feet long list
ing the Wellsville church as one OF
the churches to be blasted as q
lesson to Capitalistic America"
The Communist Party leafiet re-
plying to DR.. Autritt's cheap effort
at sensationalist working class
Indictment points out that "tht
Communists don't believe in such
acts of individual violence or ter.
rorism."

Ruling
Groups Face
Mass Unrest

HAVANA, Aug. 7. Fighting
among the factions of the Cuban
Government, showing rising discon-
tent in the political sections, is
causing active concern of revolt
here among the ruling cliQues.
Three Americans have been ar
rested on the charge of smuggling
in arms and ammunition to aid the
foes of the Mendieta government.
Huge shipments of arms are being
brought into Cuba almost daily. The
arrested men are Frederick Wilcox,
son of William r. Wilcox, chairman
of the Republican National Com
mittee on the presidential campaign
of 1915, Arthur B. Needham, repre-
senting American sugar interests,
and Colonel Arthur B. Hoffman,
who was recognized as having been
involved in the unsuccessful Gibara
revolt against the Machado rule.
The Communist Party is calling
on the masses to show their solida-
r1ty against the Mendieta puppet
government on August IL, the ami
versary of Massacre Day" of the
Machado government.

tween Governor Floyd B. Olson and
the leadership of the drivers local
union STA. Close to 200 pickets are
held in the military stockade. Some

only did Zausner count Weinstock

District Council until Zausner was
ousted. The membership has
maintained this attitude firmly in
the present strike, begun a week
ago last Monday, when a city-wide
walk-out for 6-hour, SO day was
begun.
Zausner began the strike, rank
and file leaders charge, for the
purpose Of collecting q tax of
$lO0 per member. Sensing the
attitude of the members, he re-
duced the tax to so cents, but still
60 no avail. Local after local has
elected its own strike committee
and has refused to recognize the
District Council strike leadership"
zausner, frantic, is alreaSy ef-
fecting settlements with the indie
pendent bosses, thus weakening
the strike ranks.
The attack on Local 1872 was
preceded by visit OF Mcnamara
and Edward Ackerley, international
board representative, to the head
quarters Of Local 499, the most
active element in the strike. There
Ackerley announced the revocation
of the charter of Local 499. The
revoking Of the charter and the
terrorist tactics against the mem
bership in Local 892, as we'll as
number of other locals is seen by
members as an organized pogrom
policy of zsusner.
An interesting sidelight on the
lengths to which Zausner is going
is indicated by the fact that Local
400 is the oldest unit of the paint
tiers union, having been organized
in 1873, before the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, as such, was
organized. The withdrawal of the
charter, against which there is a
storm of protest in other locals,
will mean the loss Of death bene-
fits by the members of the local.
The men of the local are bitter at
international headquarters, since
they have been paying 60 cents
monthly per capita to the inter-
national Office for the death bene-
fits.
Painters all over the city, aroused
at the pogrom policy of Zausner,
will march in a demonstration
against both the Master Painters
Association and the District Coun-
Gil headquarters on Thursday.
Tonight Local 499 will hold
regular membership meeting to
discuss in detail plans to strengthen
the strike and fight the revocation
OF its charter by international
union officials.

I'VE realize the kind of system
under which we live, and at the
same instant, we realize the utter
impossibility of any member Of

Call Upon l. L. d. Members and Sympathizers
To Aid Circulation Drive

NEW YORK. The National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense yesterday ad-
dressed q letter to the Daily
Worker, thanking and praising the
paper for the assistance given in
the drive TO raise bail for Angelo
Herndon. with the assistance of
the Daily Worker" the letter states,
I'VE are confident that we will raise
the additional $4,000 needed to de-
fend Herndon and the Scottsboro
boys"
The full text of the letter follows
1T was primarily the excellent
assistance of the Daily Worker that
made it possible to raise more than
SIS, 900 bail for Angelo Herndon in
period of 25 days. Without the
Daily Worker, it would have been
impossible to raise the bail for
Herndon in the short time we had,
and our young leader would still
be sitting in Fulton Tower Jail.
The Daily Worker was foremost
among that small group of news
papers which broadcast the appeals
for funds. The capitalist press has
been silent - ominously silent - on
the Angelo Herndon case. It has
set up a barrier which it has so
far been impossible to break
through. The richer newspapers
among the Negro press have also
been silent while Herndon con-
tinued to drag out his days in
Fulton Tower.
But the appeals of the Daily
Worker and a few other militant

BURTON is writing: "A hard

That's lust the kind of person
Mr.. Sopwith is. Even hard boiled
yachting experts get filled with en-
thusiasm over him. Mr.. Burton does
not mention, however, whose shan

that Burton did not inquire whether
it was Mr.. Sopwithis custom to
