The cable was sent by the International Committee to Aid the Victims of German Fascism. “The lives of the four men are in the greatest danger,” the cable says. “Organize immediately a nation-wide protest action of all workers, intellectnals, liberals, physicians, lawyers, writers. “Defense Attorney Sack was not present during the last decisive days of the trial, and the press interprets this io mean that the defense has been defeated.” AT THE GERMAN FRONTIER (via Zurich, Switzrland), Noy. 9.—Desperate for evidence against the four defendants of the Reichstag fire trial, the prosecution today—the thirty-fifth : 5 ‘day of the trial—sank into the Organizations Mass mire of personal slander to Save Lives of jagainst Dimitroff.

Y¥.—President Roosevelt’s promise at the beginning of the N. to put six million men to work now boils down to his winter plan to take four million unemployed off the existing relief lists and herd them to forced labor, under non-union conditions, wages and hours, and without any union agreement.

The decision to ally not only locals, but also minorities in the fight for unemployment insurance, against racketeering, against exclusion of members for inability to pay dues, was absent from a meeting of the diplomatic corps which voted to re- quest the government to guarantee the lives of the rebel prisoners. One | report said 40 had been killed at Atares before the rebels surrendered, This means that more than 100 rebels were killed in the two days of fight- ing. James O'Connell, an American res- ident of Havana, was seriously wound- ed, together with 13 Cubans, who were standing docks watching the bombardment of Atares. Altogether, some 200 civilians, including many women, are reported to have been injured during the fight- ing. The number of civilians killed is not known. While the fighting was going on in| Havana, other parts of Cuba were also in the grip of civil war. _ Rally Needle Union Members to Resist U. 8.
