— THE DAILY _THe DAILY Worker, NEW YORK, MONDAY. coe RY 20, 1928 Page Fivé Anti- i- Imperialist Conference Pledges Support to Nicaraguan Masses City to Improve Park Avenue but Has No Money for East Side An appropriation of $650,000 has heen asked by Julius Miller, boro president of Manhattan, for the widening and improvement of Park | Ave. from 57th to 72nd St. This sec- | tion houses some of the wealthiest | residents of New York. Efforts to obtain appropriations for the im- provement of the workers’ districts have not been made by the boro presi- dent, despite the fact that the condi- tions of such districts as the East Side, the Chelsea district and the Washington and Greenwich St. dis- tricts cause hundreds of deaths an- nually among workers’ children. Scores are killed by traffic in the streets in which they are forced to play. 33 ORGANIZATIONS ATTACK AIMS OF AMERICAN EMPIRE Form Branch of Anti- Imperialist League (Continued from Page One) ence, Nearing has just returned to the United States “after almost a year’s absence in China and the Soviet Union. Arthur Garfield Hays, liberal at- torney, said he heartily endorsed the purpose of the gathering. The high point of the meeting was reached when the chairman _intro- duced Socrates Sandino, brother of the leader of the Nicaraguan revo- lutionaries. Tremendous applause greeted his exclamation that “the Latin-American people intended to they had to fight the most powerful maintain their independence even if military nation on earth.” Other speakers included H.

Iron Workers Strike In Long Island Now In Its Fourth Week| The strike of the - workers of the/ Garman Iron Works in Long Island| City conducted by the Iron and Bronze Workers Union against the introduction of open shop conditions has now entered into its fourth week with the picketing of the shop still going strong. The workers went out on strike January 25, when the owner of the iron works began a systematic intro- duction of non-union conditions by | firing some of the union workers and |bringing in non-union men in their places. Three weeks before the strike |began Garman reduced his force from 25 to 10 workers. He then de- manded that the remaining workers accept an increase in hours from 44 |to 48 a-week and a reduction of | wages from $38 or $40 a week to $35; The workers picketing the shop | have expressed a determination to {offer a solid front against Garman. National Biscuit Plant Lays Off Hundreds (Continued from Page One) will at a moment’s notice. As soon jas a man is discharged, the workers said, he immediately reports to the employment office to be rehired at a lower rate—unless somebody gets the job before he gets there. The workers in these factories are beginning to realize the need for or- ganization. “There are workers Greek, Russian and German descent }in the factories and it is very hard for us to talk together,” one worker said, “but we know that the only thing for us to do is organize and work together to make the bosses give us more money and better work- ing conditions.” In the Uneeda and Nabisco fac- tories, he said, there are many Amer- ican-born workers. When they are hired workers are paid $14 a week and are raised 50 cents or a dollar from time to time, if they stay long enough without be- ing fired or rehired at a low rate after they have been raised. Volunteers Wanted A number of volunteer workers are wanted by the Workers International Relief, 1 Union Square, Room 604. Important work in the’ campaign for miners’ relief and relief of the unemployed must be done immedi- ately, and all those who have any spare time are urged to volunteer their services in order that these campaigns may not suffer. ‘STENOGRAPHER WANTED.
