25, 50, and 75 Years Ago
May 31, 1991
ST. LOUIS — In the last year, officials of the United Auto Workers union
have been crying crocodile tears over the conditions of workers in the
auto industry in Mexico. Their tears are becoming a flood as the U.S.
government moves toward an agreement with Mexico that would break down
many trade barriers between the two countries.
According to mouthpieces of the capitalists of both countries, the
agreement would spur the Mexican economy, which is in deep crisis.
Economic growth has declined; the minimum wage has dropped 50%; and
unemployment has skyrocketed. One of the main culprits of the economic
disaster is Mexico’s debt to the imperialist banks and governments. It
rose to $107 billion in 1989.

An unidentified U.S. government “reliable source” admitted May 24 that a
Cuban soldier had been killed at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay.
However, he asserted the soldier had been inside the base.
Cuba charged the soldier, a sentry at the perimeter of the base, had
been killed by gunfire from the base. At first there was a flat U.S.
denial that any incident had occurred. Then there was a statement that
an investigation was underway. The unnamed Washington source said the
incident is still being investigated.
Following the shooting, angry citizens of Santiago and other Cuban
cities organized demonstrations demanding the U.S. get out of Guantánamo.

San Francisco, May 26 — Striking AFL and CIO Bay Area shipyard
machinists are still standing firmly on their feet despite the foul
blows thrown at them by the phoniest collection of pie-cards, government
strikebreakers and chairwarming admirals ever joined together to break a
strike.
Every conceivable effort, from pleading and browbeating to open
scab-herding and picket-line crashing has been used in the past week.
Nation’s No. 1 Fink, John Frey, backed by a small army of cops, marched
a few score workers through the picket line. Most of them marched right
out again. The first American convoys in the war were used not against
Hitler and the Nazis but against striking shipyard workers.
