The Argentine Course. | A statement was tonight given in- | formally to the press by members of | the committee on Holivia and Para guay to the effect that “the work of the committee is understood to be seriously complicated: -and ren-{ dered extremely delicate; due to the | fact that commissions of the two | governments are now in Buenos Aires working on a settlement.” The nineteen Latin American {| countries drawn into American im- perialism’s Pan-American Confer- ence for Conciliation and Arbitra- tion do not include the Argentine Republic. Argentina is the strong- est and most independent of all South American countries, and has a well-developed capit: syste! of its own, It leans rather to Eu- ropean, especially Spanish and Eng- lish leadership than to the United States, though lately the Big Four packers of Chicago have been taking over the bulk of Arg a’s chief export, frozen meat. The government has invited ntatives of Bolivia and Paraguay to meet in Buenos Airey to negotiate a peace, thus making itself in a way a rival of the conference in Washington, and creating what the committee jus uppointed by Secretary of State Kellogg calls “a delicate situation.” The Bolivian government, it was learned tonight, has appealed the case to the Le: of Nations. POLICE ARREST WOMAN STRIKER Aid Scabs in ‘Attack on Milliner a millinery work- b—and Edith Sarashik er, was scratc by a scab So she is now in jail. This is how it happened. The workers in a millinery house at 36th St. and Broadway have gone out on strike to enforce real union condi- + tions. The owners have been at- tempting to operate the shop with seabs. Edith Sarashik, one of the striking workers, while picketing the building, began talking to one of the scabs and tried to persuade her to join her fellow-workers in a fight for better conditions. The scab became infuriated and Soviet Union from the Black Sea in 1919 and he further stated that it was not too late for the British and French to oust the Bolshevik even now.

These workers are also demanding an in- crease of pay. “The United Fruit Co. has cate- gorically refused the demands of the workers and is using all possible means to crush their militant strug- gle. Martial law has been declared and the national government of Col- ombia is acting under the orders of the officials of this huge American concern which controls the Magda- lena zone. Fruit Co. Army. “The presence of officials of the United Fruit Co. dressed in the uni- form of the Colombian army, who are directing the troops against the strikers and who are responsible for the brutal murder of more than forty strikers, has aroused the in- dignation of the natives of Colombia. “The order to Commander Col- lins of the navy, who is in the Canal zone, commanding him tobe ready to lend assistance in case the lives of the “American citizens” are in danger, is an indication that the United States government has de- cided that it will allow no obstacles to stand in its way in order to in- sure a victory for the United Fruit Co. against the strikers. “The strike and the menace of direct intervention by the United States naval forces in Colombia, comes at a time when Mr. Hoover is on his “good will” trip in Latin America for the purpose of strength- ening the power of Wall St. against British imperialism. The aggres- sive and ruthless role of American imperialism in Latin America is characterized by use of national governments, as in the case of Colombia at the present time, to crush strikes of workers and en- slave the masses. The events in Colombia should open the minds of the Latin American workers to the danger confronting the oppressed masses of Latin America. -“The United States section of the All-America Anti - Imperialist | | the | League; Karl Reeve, editor of the attacked the picket, scratching her Teague calls upon the workers and GREET MILITANTS HERE TOMORROW Were Jailed for Rally in Washington Continued from Page One Porter.

One mine in Benld is about to install a new aitomatic loader which will let two men load 340 tons a shift, and will throw 200 men out of work. This will bring a revolt, for the miners of Benld are militant, and most of them own their own homes, which they have been paying for for years, and do not want to lose. Of 10,000 miners normally em-| ployed in Belleville sub-district, there are now only 2,559 working. Last month they worked 18 days and divided the work, which means only 9 days’ pay for each miner. | The employers are trying to cut} wages still more, by putting the loading machines on a tonnage basis, instead of the $8.04 a day which the old scale paid. In Benld they have fixed the rate at 38 cents 21 tons a miner will have to be loaded to let him get the same wage he draws at present. a ton, which means that. more ve ST |/BALL —= ries sexy CONFERENCE THIS THURSDAY WILL TAKE UP PROBLEM Women in CandyPlants Viciously Exploited Victims of Witchcraft Superstition Caliing attention to the intense {exploitation of women workers in the unskilled and semi-skilled trades ¥ where trades union organization is confronted with the opp ion .of powerful corporations and’ (rusts, the New York Working Women’s Pederation cites the condition of the candy workers of New York state as an example.
