To Support Sandino. The ing menace of American imperialism and its attitude towards Nicaragua constitute the basis for such a conference. We cannot deny that Genera] Sandino’s attitude to American imperialism is the only ef- fective one. We must, therefore, support it, stimulate it and consider it as from the point of view of the great armed movement of the west- ern hemisphere for the economic and political emancipation of the Latin- American countries. The Mexican section of the All- America Anti-Imperialist League has taken the initiative to that effect and proposed the call of a conference to the executive committee, the lat- ter accepting the proposifion. The executive committee has appointed an organization committee which is to undertake the task of the organi- zation of the conference. The com- mittee is constituted as follows: Organizing Committee. Honorary President:--Augusto C. Sandino, supreme chief of the Army of Independence of Nicaragua. Froy- land Turcios, editor of “Ariel” and official representative of Sandino. President: Gustavo Machado, General Sandino’s representative for Mexico and of the Hands Off China Committee.

Leaflets, which drew the atten- tion of the workers to their miser- able conditions, told them that the only way in which they can secure decent working standards was to begin to unionize the plant. She has been many times threat- ened by company officials to halt her agitation near the shop and yesterday, a detective, called by the bosses, arrested the organizer, She was brought before the Gates Ave. magistrate’s court. The case was postponed till Jan. 30. The union is carrying on a deter- mined organization drive among the workers in this plant as well as among workers in other shops.
