A. county admini- strator and his wife from the county. | The workers, at a later mass meeting refused to accept the plea of local Politicians, headed by Judge Gordon McKenzie, that they express “regret” at their actions. .The sécond mass meeting broke up in turmoil when Judge McKenzie read a resolution “begging” the government not to ithdraw its funds from the county. ‘The unemployed workers, many from the textile mills, were protesting against the fact that in Rhea county, with several thousand jobless, only 299 Civil Works jobs were assigned. They. were further incensed at the fact that the wife of J. H. Mizer, the county superintendent of schools, was also on the county payroll as C.W.A. county administrator. For this rea- son they also drove out Mizer's wife. C. C. Menzler, Tennessee state C. W. A. administrator, announced from Nashyille that all C.W.A. work in the county is “suspended until the au- thorities are in control and order has been restored.” The C.W.A. hopes by these means to starve the workers Cuban government, Guiteras, has an- nounced in Friday's press that the two delegates of the Anti-Imperialist League had heen released, they are still in Principe fortress, ‘The two delegates, Henry Shepard, Negro leader in the Trade Union Unity League, and Alfred Runge, Spanish-American war veteran, mem- ber of the League of Struggle Against War and Fascism, were arrested on Dec. 12, after they had an interview with President Grau of Cuba. In their interview they had asked Grau why the Communist Party and the revolutionary trade unions were made illegal, and what rights the workers had under his regime. Grau answered that he would give his reply in writing. But he imme- diately ordered the arrest of the Anti-Imperialist delegation in the home of a Cuban worker.
