There are many more pieces of property falling into the hands of the city, but so far the first 1,500 pieces have been disclosed by the city authorities. .

Cap. Faderico Quintero M. Al. pervisor Provincial January 21, 1931, To the Chief of Police of (blank left here for name of town): Sir:—The sugar harvest finding itself in full activity and it being a notorious fact that much of the available laboring force is showing a re- fusal to leave the city or what is commonly called the (town) to go to work cutting cane, which goes to prove a lamentable state of vagrancy, always an origin of grave social evils, I have resolved that the respective police of the municipal areas of the province should initiate and carry out an energetic and beneficial seizure of all those elements who live as parasites and vagabonds, who remain during working hours in the cafes, and when pursued, hide themselves in so-called rooming houses or simple dwellings where they are protected by women of bad name or by cooks or servants. This class of really despicable people that hates work and order, you must notify that they have to go into cane cutting or if not to abandon the place where they wish to live without working, which cannot be permitted under any circumstances, least of all when the work in the sugar harvest offers the vagrant and parasite the opportunity to regenerate themselves and become useful men, accustoming them to depend on their own efforts and separating them from the road of evil and crime. As soon as you have rounded up the vagrants and parasites of the city you belong to, you must reach an agreement with the various labor contractors of the sugar mills for the supply to them of the men that you are able to offer. I count upon your earnestness, thus, as well as on the natural sense of the responsibility you will incur by not complying with the contents of this circular, the immediate execution of the measures indicated, and that you will abstain from listening to any sort of Suggestions or recommenda- tions of anybody that might turn you from the real aims this circular pursues, Yours respectfully, CAPTAIN FREDERICO QUINTERO, M.

Worker today o Slavery Is Shot Dead; Fish Protects Morgan’s Millions offers positive proof of forced labor in the production of Cuban sugar. Published in another column of this paper is a photographic reproduction of a mili- tary order (in Spanish) of the Cuban army captain, Frederico | Quintero, who under martial law, is supervising all police in the | province of Pinar del Rio. An English translation is published with the photograph. Workers will take notice tk and slanders such as the cap leged “forced labor” in the Sov: of an original military order, the original being in the possession of the Daily Worker, And from the same Cuban sources, the Daily Worker gets the following story as to the results of this forced labor in Cuba. It says: “Old and young are taken from the streets and from the houses, day and night, and dragged off forcefully to work. There are sup- posed: to be enough workers for the Zafra (the sugar cane harvest), We have already 600,000 unemploy- ed, and immigration is stopped. “But the following explains why to cane cutting. The pay is thirty cents for one hundred arrobas (one arroba equals twenty-five pounds of cane, cut, trimmed and loaded), and it is practically impossible to make these thirty cents in fourteen hours of work. “Besides, it is no longer labor, but worse than prison labor. The work- ers haye aboslutely no protection. All sugar areas have been militariz- ed. At the least suspicion the peo- ple are simply shot down. The fol- lowing took place in Pinar del Rio: “One of the workers who had been forced into the work, told the overs seer that it was impossible to do. this work for thirty cents. The overseer made no reply, but shot a bullet into the worker's heart. Two;: workers who stood nearby indig- nantly asked the overseer why he: had shot down an innocent person): the workers don't want to be sent | hat this is proof, and not the lies italist papers publish about al- iet Union! Here is a photograph ; and were immediately shot down by the same overseer.” | Workers! You who have listened to the war-making lies of Congressman | Fish, of Matthew Woll, about “forced | labor” in the Soviet Union. You who have read the capitalist press fairy tales from Riga and Helsingfors, but | who know from the fact that all cap- {italists hate the Soviet Union and hope to destroy it by war! Workers, ere is absolute proof of forced labor Cuba, a virtual colony of the Unit- |ed States, a sugar plantation for the | National City Bank of J. Pierpont | Morgan! But, Workers, do you think for one {moment that the Fish Committee, Mr. | Woll, or Secretary Stimson will bar jsugar made by the forced labor in |Cuba ‘from entering the United States? Morgan is making money out of | that sugar and it will not be bar- red. Even the rival beet sugar capi- talists of the United States who would bar it if it were possible, are doubtless too weak to overcome the influence of Morgan’s National City Bank, But understand, workers, that the Hoover government and the Ameri- can capitalist class are not at all shedding tears about “forced labor”— {so long as they can get profits from 1it!

MARCH THROUGH: NEGRO SECTION, CHICAGO, IN FEB. 10 DEMONSTRATION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) workers. And a still more powerful demone stration is being prepared for Feb. 25, international fighting day for the unemployed. Now They Mention Relief. Under the pressure of the mass movement of the one-half million unemployed workers of the city of Chicago led by the Communist Party and the Unemployed Councils, the capitalist politicians begin to speak about immediate relief for the unem- ployed. At an open session of the City Budget Committee, the Communist Party, the Trade Union Unity League, the Unemployed Councils and a com- mittee of the United Front Confer~ ence of 147 organizations, presented a bill which Specified the methods as to how the 75 million dollars they demand were to be raised and dis- tributed among the unemployed workers; $15 for every unemployed worker and $2 for each dependent. The “Chicago Tribune” under date of February 3rd carries the story that the Cook County Board asked the State Legislature to guthorize the is- suance of bonds up to $2,000,000 “to provide temporary relief for the poor.” Up till now the capitalist Politicigns ignored completely and re- fused to act on behalf of the unem- ployed. ‘This is simply a drop :n the bucket to supply needed unemployed relief. To divide this amount equally among all the unemployed workers would amount to only $4 for every unem- ployed. One thing is clear, that even this miserable help would not be con- sidered by the politicians if not for the pressure of the masses led “y the Communist Party. On Boston Common.
