The Boli minister declared: “In the face of the grave insult that Bolivia has suffered from the guay I have presented a note to the president of the Inter- national Conference on Arbitr and Conciliation, saying that I withdraw from taking part in deliberations of that assembly, si it is impossible for the R which I represent to discuss mulae of friendly settlement between the two nations while Paraguay shall refuse to repair its wrong. hands of Par “This decision of my government will, however, be no obstacle to 2 later adherence on the part of Bolivia to whatever agreement the International Conference may reach.” League Helps War.

The special anniversary edition of the Daily Worker is going to be a real surprise. But equally unusual will be the big celebration in Man- hattan Opera House, Eighth Ave. th St., on Jan. 5, One of the ractions will be the Isadora | Duncan dancers from the Isadora Dunean School in Moscow. This school, founded by the late premier danseuse of the world, embodies the ideas of Isadora Duncan that were inspired by the Russian Revolution. The dancers will appear under the direction of Irma Duncan, adopted daughter of the great dancer and head of the Moscow school. Their opening dance will be “The Interna- tional.” It is announced that all the seats cf Manhattan Opera House will be reserved for the celebrati-n so that the thousands of workers present will_be able to enjoy the program in comfort.

The thou- jsands of girls in the department stores, the candy factories, the paper box factories, the National Biscuit factories, the umbrella factories, the raincoat makers, as well as those | in the needle trades, have suffered most severely from the present at- | tacks of the bosses.

Even’ during the height of the sea- son wages are being cut. During the height of the season we are jnot being paid enough to earn a living. What will happen to us when the season is over? | “The answer of the New York Working Women’s Federation is to perfect the organization of women, to Iead these women to resist the attacks of the bosses on their wages, and into a fight to raise their stand- ard of living, The response to the Thursday conference on organiza- tion of working women has been greater than the Federation ex- pected. We want representatives from all industries and all shops. We want the representatives to dis- cuss their problems at the confer- ence and lay the basis for organiza- tion at this conference. Only a united front of the workers will help improve their conditions.” Workers School Now Has Classes in All Boroughs: of the.
