MARCH 3, 1927

DEATH ENTHRONED FOR MANY WEEKS 1 IN CUBi STRIFE Slaughter of Labor Leaders Continued for Period During 1926. Editor's Note: For more than two months protests from Cubans have been lodged with representatives of the American labor movement and the Pan-Amer-ican labor movement. They have come from workers and from men holding high position in Cuba Intimations.of a serious situation have appeared over a period of several months, in leading Spanish language newspapers outside of Cuba. Finally. Chester M. Wright. English language secretary of the Pan-American Federation of Labor, formerly on the personal staff of Samuel Compels and a iabor writer of long standing, went to Cuba to investigate. He has returned with an amazing story of terrorism, assassination. imprisonment and exile. His findings, following a report to President William Green of the American federation of Labor, are presented in a series of articles, of which this is the third The fourth article will appear tomorrow. By Chester 31. Wright English Language Secretary Pan-American Federation of Labor WASHINGTON, _ March 3.—As t.he Havana newspaper La Discusion graphically exclaimed “His Majesty,' the Death,” for many fearsome weeks in 1926 ruled in Cuba with the sway of a tyrant. As the year drew to an end and 1927 began, deaths were less frequent. Eli Dia, late in 1925, spoke of the “tragic fortnight.” “The 1 government suspects enemies everywhere, said Eli Dia. “In view of that it .has ordered many arrests and de'portations of working men.” Armando Andre, editor of Eli Dia, widely known and respected major in the revolution, former Congressman and former captain of the port, was found shot on his own doorstep immediately following his criticisms of the government policy. There were fourteen bullet holes in his' body. His assassins were never arrested, v Eli Dia was revived and boldly demanded that its writers be accorded the right to write and print freely. “The life of our director, Armando Andre, has been taken and no one knows who are the murders,” it said. Eli Dia was again suspended by government order and with El Triunfo and La Tarde, it remains suspended. As Major Andre was assassinated, so also was Antonio Lopez, a newspaper man at Sagua La Grande. No one will ever know how many farm or plantation workers have been slain. In the unsettled sections it is easy for murder to go unnoticed. Many qane field workers—most of them, ih sact —are immigrants. Leaders of these seem to have been singled out for slaughter. The “Ley de Fuga” (the law and flight) operates in Cuba today, as it used to under Diaz in Mexico. It is this: A man, perhaps just arrested, perhaps tried and sentenced to prison, is ordered to march ahead of his guard. The guard shoots him in the back and reports that the man was shot while trying to escape, or while in flight. Many such cases were reported to So, if the plantation workers tremble as do the city workers,* there is reason. Here are facts: tt One Enrique Pina, a wealthy Cuban sugar planter, was kidnaped and field for $50,000 ransom. The ranSbm was paid and Mr. Pina was released. Then the rural guard went into action. Canary islanders who arc white Spanish subjects, were suspected. The kidnaping took place at Ciego de Avila on March 4, 1926. From Marcli 31 until July 2S, terror reigned among the Canary islanders of that district. Twenty-seven have been identified as having been shot or hanged, but complete reports furnished me by those whose testimony is entitled to credence, put the total so slam at sixty-four. That is a truly staggering figure when it is known that every man of the sixtyfour was innocent of the kidnaping and none of them had ever had a trial. The innocence of the slain men was shown when, after their slaughter, the guilty man was captured

300 STUDENTS EARNING WAY THROUGH DE PAUW

Bn Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., March 3. —Although Greencastle has a population of only 4,000, more than 300 De Pauw University students are earning a part or the entire cost of their education there. Fifty of these 300 are women students. A few students are “bowling' 1 their way through school by running a bowling alley. Others apply their talent3 as artists or tutors. Many are house-to-house salesmen, selling articles ranging all the way from pies to shirts. One has elected to keep order at the university library. Still others—not so ingenious but more heroic—fire furnaces, wait tables, wash windows, do clerical work, work in homes, take care of children, or play in orchestras. Co-eds prefer to care for children, but they also apply for clerical work, and for jobs waiting table. Housework is shunned by the coeds, hut placed first in rank by those desiring to employ students. Clerical work ranks second in opportunities. More than 100 men are employed as waiters at the various tables and eating places on the campus and in
