the Railroad Protherhood, the Tobaccp Noribers and then there are all Hinds of other or ganizations of very little strength. coolas, peddlers, ete. and the aim was always to get the largest mumber of signatures and stands of organizations endorsing this action, and fundamentally spendng, our Confederation, which has about 20 unions made a united front with the Tobacco Horicors where there is only one wnion, The latest united front condttee was such a commettere they brought together all the hands of these varions untons, and they have declared, that 17 Machado till not liberate the political prisoners they w11 declare general strike. This general strike, as can be proven, by documentary evidence, was engineered by the Nationalsts, who were driving this committee to bring about the ceneral strike. As ms correctly stated in the letter of the American Perty. the comrades have th failed to see that the Yollow leaders will do all they can to betray the strive then Machado found out the only demand was the release of the political prisoners, he said, all right will liberate the politierl prisoners because 17 want to can arrest them again next week. Our comrade, Montero, the Secretary of the Confederation, hag record of having been arrested 17 times. It is clear that Machado was risldne nothing when he was promising the committee that he would release the political prisoners. Another thing, the executive of the unted front coumtttee said, if te propose a general strike, momst go first to the police and present an ultimatum. Our members of the Central Committee of the Party, our om comrades also went to the police, and negotiated for the release of these political prisoners. It is clear that the general strike collapsed with the promise that the prisoners will be released. The Yellows immediately began to withdraw from this campaian. Then the Party decided to be left and declare the strilce on its responsibility, and here our Party began to seek the support of the natiomlists, Infomach as they had lost the support of the United Front Committee, and they wanted to have a strike before the first of lovember, because on the first of November the elections to the Parliament would take place, and the Nationalists were issuing a slogan, the elections will not take place.
The Communists at that time were very amous to have a strile and to have it about lovember first. The question is that there must have been force behind these Party leaders who would have the strice, and that force could have been no one else but the lationelists who wanted to break down the strike.
ENOTA There is another thing which find it very difficult to speak about as a commandst and a Comrade. The Central Committee appointed a revolutionary comittee.
comdttee in a certain room, and they decided to prepare a certain houses for the eventual dead and wounded during the strice. They decided that Comrade Acela should mobile the doctors and sympathisers with us as first aid they had no money, so they found someone who advanced 30. 00. With this so called material resources, without telling a word to the workers, or organising the workers, Into richting groups, in the hope that the Nationalists will give them munitions and then weapons and arms, they have decided to explode the most important street cars, to throw some bombs in the police stations, to ex plode some bridges in the provinces and then establish a Soviet Power. You would not suspect we of 3oldns, but this is a fact. When a comade asled the Secretary of the Party whom will you declare the strike? He saia, When all is prepared we will call a meeting. In this meeting we 11 declare a general strike. So it ms a general str prepared in secret. Cotons declared in a small meetingt Tomorrow we seiso power. This wag the situation, and very creat de omlisation set in after that. Our commandes in the various wniony textile and trany, these comrades began to the vote against the Party.
They were against the general strike, for instance, Comrade Acels refused to join this revolutionary coundttee. She said she will carry out the instructions, she wu tar look for a house, find doctors, etc. but she said, you are preparing a blood bath for the workers. As a result she was sent to the Control Commission. She is still under charges, Пской эпохи.
