Armed Conti Grows Certain Says Vaca Nicaraguan Resi ceuniatire Says Conflict Is Certain WASHINGTON, Feb, 1.—The dan- wer of armed conflict between Ameri- can marines and the Nicaraguan lib-' erals' “grows more certain,” Dr. T. C Vaca, representative here of the Sacasa government, warned in a statement today. The statement added: “The constitutional (liberal) gov- ernment of Nicaragua, grieved at the injustice of so unequal a struggle, de- sires once again to protest berore the nations of. this hemisphere ana the world at large, against a situation not of its own seeking but forced upon it by relentless military power of an invader kent stubborn.y upon imposing by force of arms its dictates upon the people of a country that it persists in c. s¢vereign sister nation.” Recent victories, Vaca said carried the liberals within 30 mil f Managua, capital of the Diaz govern- ment, where is sttioned a strong U. 8. U. S. marine guard. + oe PUERTO CABEZAS, Nicaragua, Feb. 1—Dr. Juan Sacasa continues to hold office here, the “real capital of the country, despite the fact that at Managua, behind his guard of American marines, is the president recognized by the United States gov- ernment, Adolfo Diaz. Sacasa has issued a statement that everything possible to avoid friction and the needless slaughter of Nica- raguans, but that he expects, never- theless, “in due course the marines wil have to epen fixe against the Jib- erals and kill hundreds of Nicara- guan citizens to support Diaz, as in 1912, Diaz A Puppet. “Briefly, as to the situation with purposes of promoting peace: It is obvious that Diaz has nothing to of- fer. He has not a legal right to the) Presidency. The only argument he can advance is the moral and ma- terial support of the American gov- ernment. On the contr: I entitled to the Presidency, backed morally and materially by an over- whelming majority of Nicaraguans. The marines are only delaying ovr decisive triumph. I am, moreover, sapported by the public opinion of the entire world and a majority of citizens of the United States who are, levers of justice and liberty. “The preceding statements explain the impossibility of a peace based on Diaz in the Presidency. I defend the rights of the Nicaraguan people with- cut the slightest animostiy toward the | American government, reiterating with great pleasure my similar prev-! ious statements that I have*never ob- structed the policy of the United States.” ‘Mayor’s Meeting: Fails to Settle Box Makers Strike | (Continued from page 1). y, Lam legal-| \Central Trades to | Diseuss Injunctions On Thursday Night Tomorrow night’s meeting of the Central Trades anc Labor Council to be held at Beethoven Hall will dis- cuss @ bill to be introduced in Albany | to ting of injunctions in i Speakers will in- {clude John Sullivan, President of ch: |New York State Federation cf La- hor; John O'Hanlon, Secretary ef the State Federation and Assemblyman ick Hackenberg. believed that action will also taken on the move of Mor nan, President of the Inter: arment Workers’ Union, to t his dummies in place of the bona fide vepresentatives of Locale 2. 9, 2 and 35, that was postponed from the last meeting.» PREPARATIONS 0 (H FOR GARMENT WORKERS’ VOTING Locals Don’t Recognize figman’s Appointees continuing to hold gular, tho delayed, election for and executive board members Locals 2, 9 and International of Ladies’ Garment W. in New York.

The furriers, having trouble in their own fight against the bosses, also helped the Passaic textile strikers financially. | After their victorious strike the fur- viers realized that only through com- bined efforts of the working class could the Passaic strike be won. The shop chairmen on August 14th, 1926, organized a relief committee for the purpose of aiding the brave strikers with relief. This committee has done good work in collecting money and also helping out a great deal on the Coney Island concert and the Passaic bazaar, and also by a tax of $1.00 that was assessed upon the fur workers. Seeing that the paper box makers are also having a bitter fight against their stubborn bosses and that relief is needed; the Furriers Relief Com- mittee as a class conscious body has decided to help them. The Furriers Relief Committee has sent out a few |thousand tickets for the concert and bali to be held on February 11th, ‘terms that “The In strike with assault in the second de-| was the official text of Mr. Norvell’s ” gree, in connection with picket line | activiti s, was found not guilty and sermon, which described Ford’s meth- ganization.” the statement says. sorbing topics of conversation among | Board, but the membership of* Locals, WASHINGTON, Feb. 1—The re-/2dded its approval by voting unani- Norvell A.
