L. G. W. U. urges the calling of a meeting of shop representatives to allow the workers to discuss the questions of one union and united strike of all workers, these proposals have so far been rejected by the I. L. G, W. U. leaders. At the Eleventh Hour. “At the eleventh hour’, reads a statement from the Industrial Union, “Our organization there- fore again calis upon you to ac- cept our proposal. Let the dress- makers unite in one union and one strike. No official of any union, claiming to represent the true in- terests of the workers, can honestly reject such a proposal. “If we cannot achieve the neces- Sary unity before the strike is cal- led,” the statement continues, “then we call upon you to notify us of the date when you intend to call the strike, in order to make it pos- sible for our union to call upon our members and followers to strike on the same day. This will present a solid front against the bosses and will encourage the dressmakers, and will be a step in the direction of achieving their unity in the struggle for better conditions, “We maintain that even after the strike is called it will not be too late to bring about one union and the unity of the strikers. Even if thru your action you will compel us to is- sue a separate call for the workers to come out on strike, we on our part will nevertheless do everything in our power in the course of the strike to unify the ranks of the strikers for their common demands on the dress bosses, “Our members have no quarrels with the members of the Interna- tional. The dressmakers who will respond to our call will have no quarrels with those who will re- spond to your call. Both’are oppres- |sed and exploited by the same dress | bosses. We will therefore encourage and urge them to unite on the picket line, to present one solid front against the bosses and to fight 5 | Shoulder to shoulder until they really. compel the dress bosses to yield to | their demands.” Whether there will be a favorable answer or not from the Interna- | onal officials, the dressmakers must ats sod under all circumstances to jenter immediately the struggle better conditions. cimas The N.

Reports of the chaotic conditions of the unemploy- |ed cloakmakers, were made. They condemned the fake stoppage which the ILGWU leaders called today. It ; Was brought out that meeting halls were not provided for the strikers, | for fear that if the workers con- gregated in headquarters they would inevitably expose the falsehood of the stoppage and would turn the meetings into protest demonstra- tions against the I.L.G, leaders and the piece work code, who urge the members to remain in the shops or in the street around the shops, A resolution was passed saying that piece work under any form means to maintain the system of the | sweat shop, starvation and slavery.

Mass Meeting “Must Win Freedom fromYankee Imperial- ism,” Says Browder 1 NEW YORK—‘“While the ousting of the Butcher Machado is a victory for the Cuban masses, yet the fight has only begun,” declared Earl Brow- der, General Secretary of the Com- munist Party of the U. S. at a mass meeting in Park Palace, 110th St. and Fifth Ave., held Friday night. About 1,000 Spanish-speaking and American workers attended the meet- ing. A collection of $57 was taken up for the Cuban revolutionary or- ganizations, “The Cuban masses, to be free,” Browder declared, “must free them- selves from Yankee imperialism and from the other native im- perialist agents. This task will be carried out by the toiling masses of Cuba under the leadership of the Communist Party of Cuba.” A sharp attack upon the bloody Machado government and a denun- Giation of the interventicnist role of the U. S. “mediator,” Welles, were the keynotes struck at the meeting. A report that Machado was fleeing the country in an aeroplane was greeted with great enthusiasm by the audience, Speaking in Spanish, Leonardo Fernandez Sanchez of the Mella Club pointed out that the Cuban workers, entering the struggle against Machado long before the students, were the Yhajor factor in drawing the students into the revolutionary ranks, Other speakers at the meeting in- cluded J. McDonald, framed up in Tampa and recently released from jail; Emilio Cancio Bello, a Cuban student, and James W. Ford. Wil- liam Simons of the Anti-Imperialist League, acted as chairman, F.D. Loves Camp Food; Roosevelt Says He Prefers Camp Life to White House, But Men Lose 10 to 20 Pounds WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—Refreshed by a two week's vacation at his. palatial residence in Hyde Park, President Roosevelt motored back here for a week's stay, indicating that he expected to spend that time doing = ~©“practically nothing”. o Keen on It On the way he visited five refcrestfation camps,, expressing gratification at the pro- gress work as officers conducted him around, | “Everyone here is losing 10 and | 20 pounds. The clothes they give us won't fit and they are cheap stuff, but if we lose something they charge us about 6 or 8 times what it is worth. They bought a wash- ing machine and docked us $154 for it and I saw the same thing in Duluth for $62,” writes the Daily Worker's camp correspond- ent from Big Lake Camp in Min- nesota. In Camp Fechner at Big Meadows, Va., the President joshed with the cooks around the mess table. He ate with gusto. The menu consisted of friet steak, mashed potatoes, string beans, lettuce and tomato salad and apple cobbler. A correspondent from the Co- quille River Camp in Powers, Oregon, goes on record with a dis- tinetly less enthusiastic note: “The food which we get is just so much slop when it is poursd into your mess kit. One evening for supper after a hard day's work (they work us plenty hard), we had burned rice, half done, peas which were hard enough to use for seed, bread without butter, and coffee which you read a newspaper through in the bottom of your cup.” Others whd “expressed gratifica- tion at the existing conditions” in the camps were Rexford,Tugwell, the cerebrum of the Brain Trust and William Green, the People’s Friend. From a Sacramento camp cor- respondent: “The only thing we get is beans and hash. Sleeping quarters are filthy and lousy. We have to wash our clothes oursely and drink out of the same creck. No recreation of any kind. When one of the boys got ruptured bad- ly, probably crippled for life, the officers were trying to lock in the book to find out what was good for a rupture. Many of the boys were troubled with their stomachs and appendicitis but to get medical aid is impossible.” Mr. Roosevelt had a thoroughly grand time at the Virginia settle- ment. “All I have to do is look at you boys to sce what a success these camps are,” he told the youths, I wish I could take two months off from the White House and come down here to live with you.” NewCubanPresident Acts toBreakStrike (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and the pilot took off without a signal for starting. He headed for Miami, Florida. The last statement of Machado be- fore he fled Cuba praised the oppo- sition and the forces who are now in power. “I wish to congratulate all the members of the legislative body,” he said, “of all parties including the op- positionists, for the cooperation ex- tended and the patriotic labors ac- complished during the past years, which will go down in history.” When the news of Machado’s flight was circulated throughout Havana, the masses flooded the streets hilari- ous with joy, smashing into the presi- dential palace and destroying pic- tures and other mementos of the dic- tator’s regime. The police could not interferé. They ransacked the homes of all of Machado’s ehief. supporters, shooting down the most vicious of his terrorists. ‘ In an effort to keep back revo- lutionary uprisings which would be directed against the Cespedes regime, now backed by Wall Street Ambas- cadocr Sumner Welles, trodps were ordered into Havana. More than} 1,200 soldiers, including 340 cavalry- men, were ordered into Havana. The final crack in the Machado regime came when the general strike had drawn the entire workingclass of Havana into participation, and arm- ed struggles were taking place in the countryside. Mutinies began to break, out in the army on the demand that Machado resign, Machado's futile effort to put these down, by person- ally directing the executions of the disaffected soldiers, was followed by a hasty conference among the offi- cers. They feaved the army would move into action on the side of the masses. Officers Maneuver Against Strike Led by Colonel Julio Sanguily, the officers at first suggested Machado’s chief henchman, Ferrerer, secretary of state, to replace him, but after con- ferences with the oppositionists, they decided this could not be put over. They finally agreed on Cespedes. One of their demands, in order to continue the forces who backed Ma- chado, was that General Herrera re- main on the Cespedes cabinet. The action of the army officers came at a time when the army was proving to be wholly unreliable to maintain Machado in power, and in order to prevent the armed uprising FUR WORKERS NOTICE Shop’ chairmen, shop committees, active and unemployed furriers are called upon to be in the fur market early this morning to see to it that no furrier goes in to work. By MORRIS KAMMAN NEW YORK.—Dramatic rebellion flared up among 3,000 painters against one of their A.F.L. leaders, at a special General Meeting of the New York District Council No. 9, Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers of America, Sat- urday afternoon at Mecca Temple. Edward A. Ackerly, General Vice- President of the Brotherhood, who had sold out the painters’ by agree- ing with the bosses on: a three scale level of wages, was booed down when he started to speak. Police and spe- cial sluggers attacked the workers, but the terrific protest that filled the hall did not stop until Ackerly gave up his attempt to speak. This revolt of the workers came in spite of long speeches by Fiorello La- Guardia, recently chosen fusion can- didate for Mayor of New York City, and by Sidney Hillman,/head of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, and one of President Roosevelt’s labor lackeys on the NRA, Both whooped it up for the NRA and urged the painters to follow dutifully their A. F. of L, leaders, Aside from this flare-up, the meet- ing on the whole ran along the grooves oiled by the officials of the Brotherhood. After being told by LaGuardia and Hillman that the “NRA is the hope Union Painters Boo A.

Nevertheless, P, Zausner, secretary- treasurer of the Brotherhood, an- nounced a unanimous vote for the main program. During the voting more than half of the workers left the hall. To delude the workers, the most extravagant claims were made for the NRA, LaGuardia said, “The NRA makes > of L. Leader the painters accept their leaders’ program, Despite the betrayal of the Pénn- sylvania Coal miners and other work- ers under the NRA, Sidney Hillman said, “The NRA establishes the right of labor to organize...the NRA is a fundamental revolution in the coun- ” painters accepted a program calling! try. Lawrence Lindeloff, International President of the Brotherhood, a rosy- faced, fat bureaucrat, charged those opposing the A. F. of L. leaders with “challenging the democracy and thé right of the workers to decide for yourself.” Earlier at 10:30 am., he was still snoozing in his room at the Victoria Hotel when a delegation of rank and file painters demanded to see him about the reinstatement of painters expzlled from the Brotherhood for their militancy. Lindeloff, when awakened, refused to see them. The same delegation, which in- cluded Frank Wedl, of Painters Local 499, Louis Weinstock, Secretary of the Provisional Commit- tee of the Trade Union Conference for United Action to be held in Cleveland August 26 and 27, paraded in front of Mecca Temple with plac- ards exposing the A.

Cultural Workers Called to Meeting .With “Volunteers” NEW YORK.—An invitation to all cultural organizations to send official or unofficial representa- tives to a meeting of its Cultural Committee this evening has been sent out by the Executive Com- mittee of the Daily Worker Volunteers. The Cultural Committee will hold its meeting at 7.30 p. m. today in the District Office of the Daily Worker, on the street level at 35 East 12th Street. The Cultural Committee pro- poses to organize a Daily Worker chorus, band, and other cultural groups as part of the activities of | the Daily Worker Volunteers. of the masses, together with the sol- diers, they leaped into the van by coming to an agreement with the op- Position. This “palace” revolution is now moving into action against the general strike. Workers Defy Reformist Leaders Just before Machado flew Cuba, the yellow trade union leaders in his pay attempted to call a halt to the gen- eral strike. But instead of following their orders, more workers joined the strike. The main effort of Cespedes, aided by the opposition and Welles, is to give the present government a legal continuity, to make it appear that no revolutionary change is necessary, but merely the succession of a presi- dent based on the “leave of absence of Machado.” The purpose of this is to refuse to accede to the demands of the masses basis of Cuba, the driving out of baisis of Cuba, the driving out of Yankee imperialism, distribution of the land, the right of legality for the Communist Party and all trade unions, and to attempt to refuse the demands of the workers for the eight- hour day, improved working condi- tions, higher pay, and unemployment insurance. . The army officers do not want the masses to participate in wiping ou/ the vestiges of the Machado regime. As one of them stated: “It is gener- ally agreed that Cuba is ill prepared for voting now.” The hatred against Welles, and Yankee imperialism was shown by the slogan against Wall Street shouted in the streets by the masses when they celebrated Machado’s dis- appearance. In one instance, they toppled over a statue of the bloody dictator and labeled it with a poster NY Si 4 CNG gs Sy Vines Publicity Ballyhoo By EDWARD NEWHOUSE Now that the United States Lawn Tennis Association has received all the gratuitous publicity that’s needed to jam the galleries of the national singles championships, whitewash- ings are in order. Clifford Sutter, the third player, receives a blandly telegram instructing him not to against his fellow stars, Clifford, seems, is not sufficiently circumspect. Copies of the telegram are sent to the press. Helen Jacobs announces that she is not going to autograph books in that department store after all. Any~ way, she was just going to do it as a favor. Days like this we all have to pitch in and do our share. Re- vival will not come of itself. Tennis Players are not slackers. Helen’s statements are sent to all our best papers. We don’t get one. And now Saul Stein, press agent for a sporting goods chain store sys- tem, reveals that the basis of the U.S. L, T. A’s announced investiga- tfon of Ellsworth Vines, in which his firm is involved, is another ballyhoo gag. “I conceived the idea of offering Vines the job of general manager of the firm’s sports goods stores at $10,000 per,” Mr. Stein confides. “Getting permission from the firm, I sent Vines a cable. Then I gave the story to the newspapers, getting end- less publicity for the firm, which was the object behind it all. “If Vines ever accepted the offer, I’m sure the firm would turn him down as the stunt was purely a pub- licity affair from start to finish. They wouldn’t give him crabs and ice water, much less $10,000.” _ Mr. Stein, who received $15 for pulling the stunt, said he was going to set Vines straight with, the U. Ss. Lat “if Mr. Carruthers will see me, I've been over several times al- ready and he has been out every time. Maybe he doesn't want the controversy settled until after the men’s national singles champion- ships.” The last remark will probably cost him the interview. All you have to do is attend a Forest Hills champion- ship match to learn that Mr. Car- ruthers and his associates are stick- lers for form. To be sure, other sticklers will question their decisions on minor formal matters, such as seeding Helen Jacobs in the draw of the national ‘championships, so that she will meet either Helen Moody or Dorothy Round in the finals. But obviously logic is with the moguls when they assert that it is wrong for Helen Jacobs to use her title to. sign books for sordid cash, although there is nothing reprehensible in their own use of the same title while arranging the draw with a cultured and not entirely impractical eye to the box office, reading: “Mr. Welles, Get Out!” More than 20 of Machado's Porris- tas have been killed, and roving bands of workers and students are scour- ing Havana for others. The hospitals are filled with wounded, but it has not been made clear who they are. The full wrath of the people against Machado was vented against Ma- chado's official newspaper, the “Her- aldo de Cuba,” the paper which pub- lished all of Machado’s hateful de- crees. Machinery, office furniture and other furnishings were smashed. All documents were torn up and de- stroyed. Some of the invaders tried to set the building on fire. Smash Homes of Officials Then a large mass of people moved to the house of Eugenio Molinet, Ma- chado’s secretary of agriculture, agent of the rich American sugar barons. They sacked his house, de- stroying its contents and threw the furniture out of the window. Another group thronged the resi- dence of Jose Sanchez, commissioner of the central district, and one of the largest landlords in Cuba, His home was similarly treated. Later today, Cespedes rushed sol- diers to the homes of the leading Me- chado poffticians and other Cuban Jandlords and capitalists in order to protect their propert¥ from the en- raged populace: i It was clear that the masses were trying to wipe out by the roots the Machado regime of terror, and that the Cespedes government, backed by Welles, was striving with all its might to keep the feelings and ac- tions of the masses from entering more revolutionary phases, Fresh Food—Proletarian Prices 59 E, 18TH ST., CAFETERIA CENTER.
