HURRICANE TOLL UP TO OVER 1800 Cuba; Many Injured MAMAGUEY, Cuba, Nov. 11—The hunger and destitution of the Cuban workers and farmers were increased by the devastation of a terrific hur- ricane that swept Central Cuba and left more than one thousand dead in its path.

In the province of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz del Sur many cities and rural communities were heavily damaged by the hurricane.

WHITE GUARDS PUSH BOSS WAR Protest Their Slander! Demonstrate Today! The Friends of the Soviet Union is holding an anti-White Guardist demonstration this afternoon at 7th | Street and Avenue A at 2 p. m. This ; demonstration is one of etxtreme importance. White Guardist anti-Soviet activi- ties are increasing. Hoover claims that) the Soviet Union is responsible for the world depression. Britain is breaking off trading relations with the Soviet Republics. The stage is being set for war. White Guardist | activities in New York are inten- | sifying. The “Novoye Russkoye Slovo” and the “Russkaya Gazetta” two New York White Guardist newspapers, continue to pour out a stream of vicious lies against the Soviet Union. The columns of these newspapers ' contain regular appeals from General Dietrich, white guardist general and others—for money to finance anti- Soviet activities. Church services, banquets, military reviews are being held to organize against the workers’ republics. Only recently at a special service in the Church of Christ, New York—American and Russian white Suardist soldiers attached to the U. S. National Guard, joined together in a salute to the emblem and flag of the late Czar of Russia. The U. S. Government is cooperat- ing in these activities. United Sttaes officials attend banquets with ex- \8encrals and colonels of the old Czar- ped oe: At piers) affairs, joint ches are made. pledging support to all Anti-Soviet activities, All Friends of the Soviet Union must be made aware of these activities and steps must be taken to fight against them.

The leaders of, the Socialist Party are lavishing fine phrases over the martyr dead of the working class, but are sabotaging definite action, reject- ing the call of the Communit Party for a general strike in protest against the murderous attacks on the work- ers. The socialist leaders not daring to openly oppose the strike, speak of an optional “absence from work” on murdered workers. Despite their opposition, however, a four-hour protest strike was car- ried out in Lausanne yesterday under the leadership of the Communist Party. The Federal Council at Berne has ordered troops in all cantons held in a state of emergency. The Communist Party of Switzer- land appeals to the international proletariat to hold vigorous protest campaign meetings and demonstra- tions to protest the Geneva mas- Sacre and press demand for the immediate withdrawal of the mili- tary from the workers quarters, cessation of the police terror, abol- ition of martial law and punish- ment of the responsible murderers. Ms eee NEW YORK.—The Geneva corres- pondent of the New York Tribune reports that many of the soldiers threw down their guns voluntarily in response to slogans shouted by Swiss workers against militarism and imperialist war in the demonstrations in Geneva on Wednesday. He says “it was then that the officers or- dered machine guns brought for the remaining troops.” He also reports “A wave of resentment against last night’s show of militarism is discern- ible in every shop, restaurant and factory.” Government officials have formal- ly condoned the murder of workers by the military, he reports.

The keynote of the meeting will be the necessity for further building and development of the mass defense campaign, which alone has saved the boys so far.

Hung (“golden” only for capitalists) BONUS MARCHERS START TOMORROW West Coast Contin- | gents Off for Capitol BULLETIN NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The bon- us parade led by the Rank and File Committee and the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League today drew 500 veterans into this line. Several hundred lined the sidewalks. The march which proceeded from Union Square to Rutger Square, overshadowed the section of the Legion Armistice Day march which passed Union Square. “On to Washington” was the keynote. AN veterans employed and unem- ployed are urged to rally to the Bonus March Mass Meeting and tomorrow at Irving Plaza, 15th Street and Irving Place at 2 p. m. Important steps in the organization of the bonus march will be taken up. | NEW YORK.—Rank and file vet-j} erans will begin the march on Wash- ington for the mmediate payment of the bonus tomorrow, Nov. 13, when the first contingents of marchers start from San Francisco and Port- land, according to “The Fighting Vet,” official organ of the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League. Other West Coast groups are making last-minute preparations to go, while veterans throughout the country are speeding mobilization, “The Fighting Vet” stated. Bosses for Allowance Cut Capitalist organizations, such as the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, etc., also are going to Washington to ad- vance their program for a $400,090,- 000 cutin veter ” alloy rces and for the non nent of the bonu: And while preparing to go in full force to the capitol to push their anti-veteran program, these same organizations are trying desperately to smash the new bonus march. They are being helped by the top leadership of the A\ an Legon following a secret conference Oct. 11 between Johnson, new national com- mander, and Hoover. Johnson is tell- ing the rank and file not to march. The Legion's top leadership, also, yes- terday, Nov. 11, plainly showed its true role, when it sided with Secre- tary of War Hurley in an Armistice | Day dispute against the sank and file. Walk Out on Butcher Hurley calls veterans “criminels insults them, and he ordered troops against the last bonus marchers. Yes- terday, he was slated to speak at an “Armistice ceremony” at the tomb of the unknown soldier. While Hurley was speaking, 28 vet- erans in the crowd rose one after the other at one minute intervals, and walked out of the meeting. Over a hundred, in the uniforms of the Am- erican Legion ictory Post held a coun- ter meeting within hearing of Hurley's voice. This was the protest of the veterans aganist the driving of the bonus marchers from Washington. “Leaders” of the BEF also are ac- tive against the rank and file. A good example is the statement on Nov. 9 of E. F. Atwell, who asked the rank and file to “give Roosevelt a chance.” This, after Roosevelt open- ly has declared himself against the payment of veterans’ back wages. At- well was one of the betrayers of the last march. Rank and File Parade New York and many other cities held giant Armistice Day rallies and parades for the bonus on Novy. 11 This holiday, supposed to mark the “end of all wars,” brought news of wholesale slaughter in wars in prog- ress in both Manchuria and South America. Unemployed workers dem- onstrated by thousands in England. New York City went ahead with plans for a big rank and file conference to- morrow at 2 p. m. at Irving Plaza, in further preparation for the march to Washington.

The former congress- man is W. B. Graham of Arkansas. Three Negro prisoners, jailed in Faul- kner County, Ark., have been “leased” to Graham for work on his planta- tion, according to a Federated Press dispatch from Conway, Ark., received yesterday. Graham got his Negroes cheaper than usual. The general procedure is for the white planter to pay the fines of the Negro prisoners as ad- vances against wages, but Graham got his slaves by paying only 10 percent of the fines plus $7 court costs. The report states that the prisoners were bound over to him only till Jan. 1, when the term of the judge who sen- tenced them, J. A. Lee, expires. This, however, is only a move to conceal this flagrant enslavement of Negroes by creating the impression that after Jan, 1 they will be free. However, since the decision says nothing about what will. happen to them after Jan. 1, the ex-congressman will do as he pleases.
