GENERAL STRIKE GALLED IN PORT. OF ARGENTINE All Trades Walk Out to| Aid Stevedores BUENOS AYRES, June 8.—Work- ers in all trades in Bahia Blanca have declared a twenty-four hour general strike in support of the'striking har- bor workers, according to despatches from the southern,port. The general | strike call was issued at the demand of the rank and file who have been clamoring for a city-wide walk-out since the longshoremen’s strike be- gan. The strike sentiment among the harbor workers is excellent after their} two weeks’ tie-up of the port and the} belief is expressed that the strike may spread to a number of other southern ports. The harbor of Bahia Blanca is one hundred per cent struck at present and every effort is being made to bring out the seamen whose vessels have been idle in the harbor since the commencement of the walk-out. The Bahia Blanca strike is the latest of the series of longshoremen’s strikes which have broken out recent- ly in several parts of the Argentine.

The meeting had been proceeding very quietly when 2 motorcycle police- men arrived on the scene and. de- manded that the speaker, D. Ellman, show his permit. Ellman repied that “the only permit guaranteeing us the wight to speak exists in the constitu- tion of the United States.” The policeman dragged him from the plat- frem. Upon this the chairman mounted the platform and declared that the speakers were not violating the law, but ‘the policemen. He was pulled down and another league member, A. » Garfinkel, took the platform and de- nounced the actions of the police, -At this point of the meetihg the audience booed at the police. “ The audience was unanimously in favor of continuing the meeting. The Young Workers League’s courageous stand induced 12 young workers in the audience to enter applications for admission into the league. In the future, the league intends to hold’ meetings on the same corner every Saturday. PLAN BIG RELIEF CONFERENCE SOON .
