TO SUPPORT SANDINO Fight Imperialism ‘Right Here, at. at Home By HARRISON GEORGE It is natural that the Latin Amer- ican workers residing in the United States, should be interested in the success of the war for independence waged by Generai Sandino’s troops against the U. S. Marines in Nica- ragua, But American workers who think that “that Nicaraguan trouble” | is a long way off and has no con-| nection with them, are entirely mis- | taken, speaking in the interests not only of Nicxraguan independence, but in the interest of every worker in the United States itself. How does “Wall vaguely pictured entity of oppres- sion of the poor by the rich, carry on its war against Sandino? why? How It Works By forcing workers right here in the United States to work long hours at low wages, Wall street, which draws in from all industry both big and little, profits from the workers in the United States, accumulates capital to invest in Nicaragua and other Latin American countries. Wall street, right here in s:ew York, com. ‘pels American workers to speed up and cuts their wages to the bone, in order to make commodities cheaper than the British can make them, so better to compete against Have not the American workers, ‘therefore, a very lively interest, in therefore, a very lively interest in id peasants drive Wall nts, and U.

The entire Associated branch in Summit, N. J. recently called for a representative of the N. T. W. and, fter a meeting with him was held, to a local of the new union, Summit workers, on strike for | | over five months, had enough of As- | sociated betrayals. Called on strike when Paterson’s silk workers went out, they refused to go back “when their union tried to terminate their struggle without securing the con- ditions they went out for. They struck on with their own rank and} file leadership, till nearly every man had been jailed at one time or other. The meeting of the N. T. W. held with Russak Sunday, decided to re- new an organized struggle against the Summit labor hating employers and the police, who have to date failed to terrorize the strikers. Another meeting will be held by the strikers tonight. The Paterson locals are mobilizing to throw all! their strength behind the Summit strikers when they carry thru a picket demonstration en masse.
