Cuban Roll Workers
Given Wage Boost
President Butistu Order Will
Place $2.O00.000 More
In Pay Envelope

Following the May Day celebration
President Batista ordered that the
wages of all railroad workers on the
government owned lines there are
about 10000 of them-ShOuld be boost
ed from 10 to 20 per cent, thus plac-
ing an additional $2,O0O00O in the pay
envelopes
This was taken as another evidence
of the Presidents friendship for or
ganiZed labor. He came up from the
ranks, but at the beginning of his re-
gime union chieftains regarded him
as hostile.
"FOrtunately, that has changed"
said c. G. Gelt. an ardent trade union
iSt, who felt it advisable to hurriedly
leave Cuba some years ago. "Whatever
may have been Batista's attitude in
the beginning, he now clearly appre-
ciates the tremendous contributions or
ganiZed labor can make to the future
of Cuba, if only afforded the Oppor-
tunity.
Tremendous Change

Cuba. 1t has been an official holiday
for about 10 years
This year, i'm Havana, we dedicated
the headquarters building owned by
the Cuban Confederation of Labor,
With the approval of President Ra-
tiSta, the Cuban government made Il
generous contribution to the cause.
II mention this to emphasize the
tremendous change which has taken
place in the status of union labor since
the days of the tyrant, Machado, when
union chieftains were killed and their
bodies thrown to the sharks.
''rhe support given us by the Amcri-
can labor movement has been very
helpful. In fact, it is probable we
would not have succeeded without that
assistance. The same influence is pro-
ducing gratifying results throughout

Senate Approves
Anti-Strike Bill
Legislation Makes Uncle
Som Strikebredker; Stiff
Penalties For Violation

Washington, ID. C.-HOt and both
the Senate last week rushed through
legislation designed to shackle all
workers for the duration.
The lOng-pigeonhOled "Connally bin
to outlaw strikes was busted off
brought back to the floor, and after
several days of bitter debate, was put
over by vote of 63 to 16.
Both Senator Alben w. Barkley
(Dem., Ky), Administration leader,
and Senator Charles L. McNary Ulep.,
Ore.), minority leader, pleaded for de-
lay, but the bills sponsor, Senator Tom
Connally Dem., TeX), fought des-
perately to railroad the measure
through.
Wheeler's Vain Appeal
Senator Burton X. Wheeler Oem.,
Mont }, also led losing fight to refer
the bill back to the judiciary Com
mittee for study, appealing to his col
leagues not to pass such legislation,
Just because great financial news
papers of the country say we should.
The bill calls for government seiZ-
ure of strikebound properties, which
would be returned to bosses after a
walkOut was smashed, thus making
Uncle Sam No. | Strikebreaker. Any
one who participates in, or in any
way aids a strike during government
operation, would be subject to fine
of up to $4,000 and year in Jail or
both.

ton that Il grave crisis exists in the
wartime economic StabiliZatOn pro-
gram says the joint statement in
part.
The OPA Administrator, Prentiss
Brown, has abandoned the imperative
policy of grade labelling under the
pressure of special interests, and thus,
by his weakness, has provided the
widest loophOle for the breakdown of
price control on food. The stubborn
refusal TO put ceilings on livestock
continues to stand in the way of eff
fectiye price control of meat.
'Decisions made by the War Food
Administrator, the Price AdminiStra
tor, and public announcements of top
government officials show that neither
general price roll-back is being at
tempted nor more vigorous price con-
troll applied. Proposed price regulations

publicly in favor of pro-Fascist

NEW YORK, Aug. 7 lP,.-Eu-

the Cox. Committee investigat-
ing the Federal Communications
Commission, said today at a press
conference that testimony taken
here during the last week showed
the FEC and once OF War In
formation had built up "a hive of
alien ideologies" in foreign-language
radio stations.
Mr.. Carey asserted the FEC and
owl had set up in the domestic
foreign Language stations ideologies
''alien in fact, alien in purpose and
alien in personnel. purporting to
speak for the United States, to the
people of the United States and to
impose the ideologies on the Amer

war aims and purposes should be-"
He declared that "a large ma jority''
of the foreign-language STATS of the
stations had been In the United
States only from five weeks to 18
months at the time of their ap-
pointment, and that evidence
showed the program was under

to do what they are doing" in re-
spect to hiring or firing of broad

Mr.. Hoover Today

Herbert Hoover's sixty-ninth birth
day today finds him one of the
busiest Of our private citizens, yet
with no public responsibilities save
those imposed by his own sincere
convictions, born Of experience and
observation. He divides his time be-
tween his home in Palo Alto and
his New York office, receiving nu-
merous visitors, keeping abreast of
a brisk correspondence, preparing
speeches in answer to sustained
demand for his views on many sub
1ects. He finds himself leader OF a
new type of loyal opposition, drawn
without particular reference to par
tisan lines. He flnds that his philo-
sophical conception of rugged in
dividualiSm" Is less susceptible of
ridicule now; he sees in the term an
apt description Of the forces he be-
lleves will win the war. Curiously
enough, the rights of the rugged in
dividualist are high among those for
which the war is being fought today.
His great interest is in the field which
brought him to favorable prominence
in the First World War, the produc-
ton and distribution of food. He is
an outspoken critic now, with con-
sidered restraint from personalities,
OF a food policy with which he
strongly disagrees. Months ago he
was advocating appointment of "a
manager, not dictator" in charge
OF food. He would have made the
Secretary of Agriculture the man.
ager. We now have both-a manager
and a Secretary, neither with full
authority. Mr. Hoover draws added
strength from public realization that
he is after nothing for himself,
aspiring to no political or other
honorS, contented in the thought
that there is need and appreciation
for what he has to offer. He finds
continued inspiration in the march
Of events and a new confidence in
the future Of his country.
