PARTY LINES IN
NICARAGUA
DEFINED
Request for Marines to Guard
Elections Made by Minor
ity, Writer Asserts
By JONATHAN WICKWIRF.


This writer's exposition in The
Washington Times Of last Monday
of the predicament confronting the
Nicaraguan people, shared in part
by the United States, in their ef-
forts to assure a fair election in
the southern republic in October re-
suited in much tongue.wagging here
and some business for the cable
companies.
AS a consequence the State De-
partment yesterday received a re-
quest from leaders or the conserva-
tive party of Nicaragua for the as
signment of marines to help solve
the difficulty.
This seems to make desirable
some information here as to the
constituency OF the various politi-
cal parties in Nicaragua, not COM
monty available here, that the
American people may interpret in
telligibly the various moves soon
10 appear on this curious interna-
tional checker board. The con-
sentative party until recently was
practically synonymous with the
group which more usually was
designated as the Chamorristas.
Recently Has Split.
1t cast ordinarily about twenty
per cent of the qualified vote Of
the republic, and since a major
Lart of the electorate. for varied
reasons, refused or failed to vote,
the conservative party continue
ously from 1912 to 1923, has main
tained control in all branches of
the government. Since Martinez's
accession to the presidency, how
ever, upon the death Of his prede-
cessor, there has been split.
About two-thirds Of the party
broke away and, under the name
of the Republican Conservatives,
have formed coalition with the
old Liberal Party to the extent,
at least, of joining in the oppo-
sition to the return OF Emiliano
Chamorro to power.
The old Liberal Party, though
such strength never was mani
tested at the polls, because, its
leaders say, its numbers were either
kept away by intimidation or
stayed away because Of their be-
lief in the futility Of any attempt
TO OBTAIN an nOHSSI COunLp CldlL1eu
to represent that eighty per cent
of the electorate not represented
in the old conservative party. The
Liberal Republican conservative
coalition now claims to represent
upwards Of ninety per cent, more
nearly ninety-five per cent Of the
electorate. They further claim that
| with an honestly conducted and
honestly counted election, they can
beat the Conservative Of Chamo-
risto party at least five to one at
the polls, even under the present
unsatisfactory American-made law.
Doubt Aid by Marines.
AS to whether marines, either
those already on the ground or
others to be sent from here, would
materially aid in assuring a fair
election coalition leaders are scep-
teal. They point out that the pc.
sition Of the marines in Nicaragua
is no happy one.

power note delivered to the
Chinese government today, ad-
vised China that she would be
held responsible for all losses

Rumors of war between Mar
shall Chi Hsioh- Yuan, of Marking
(Kiangsu province) and General

impossible to obtain confirmation
of any actual fighting between
the two militarists whose forces
face each other along the Kiang-
su-Chekiang border, about forty
miles from Shanghai.
Many wild RumOrs.
The wildness of some of the ru-
mors is well illustrated by the re-
port that all traffic on the Shang-
i-Hangchow railroad, running be-
tween Shanghai. and the capital Of
General Lu, had been. suspended
because of military operations.
1t was subsequently discovered
that traffic had been temporarily
delayed owing to the derailment Of

new SAFETY DEVICE
FOR MINES

Washington.--The bureau Of mines
has approved new type of safety
device, a 'self-rescuer," designed as
means of escape for persons acci-
dentally caught in mine or other at
mospheres containing carbon monox-
ide.
The self-rescuer is pocket-size
canister with mouthpiece attached,
filled with granular fused calcium
chloride and granular holamite (mix-
ture of special copper oxide and man.
ganese dioxide) which causes monox-
ide in air to unite with the oxygen at
ordinary temperatures forming HARM
less carbon dioxide. The weight is
about one pound, and can be carried in
the pocket or attached to the belt.
The self-rescuer may enable miners
to escape from atmospheres contain
ing carbon monoxide in mines follow
ing fires or explosions. 1t may also
safeguard workers in industries above
ground where carbon monoxide may
be encountered, as around blast fur
naces and metallurgical operations, or
in the chemical industries.

REFUSE TO CONFER

Chicago.-Employers of striking
dress makers refuse to accept Mayor
Rever's invitation to join with him
in conference to adjust this dispute.
There are more than 5000 employees
mostly girls-involved They are
asking for living wage and shorter
hours.
States Attorney Grove has placed
the machinery of his office at the dis
posal of the bosses, and a vicious
gang of plain-clothes men are intim-
idating the girls. The mayor stated
TO citizens committee who called on
him in the interest of peace that 80
per cent of the trouble connected with
this strike can be traced to the states
attorneys office.
Working with the plain-clothes men
are manufacturers gun men who are
also given a free hand by Grove to
terrify and assault.

Organized Labor Fights
interests Warning on Bill
For Workers Compensation

gress, however, Mr.. Underhill was
able to secure the substitution of his
bill for the Fitzgerald bill when the
latter came to vote in the house,
and the house bill reached the sem
ate SO late in the session that action
was precluded by the combined cir
cumstances Of the lack Of time and
the solid opposition Of labor.
The situation thus far seems to be
stalemate. 1t is not believed by sup
porters of the Fitzgerald bill that
congress will pass a labor measure
such as workmen's compensation over
the solid opposition of labor. The in
surance companies, however, claiming
a vested interest in the victims of
industrial accident and disease, appear
to have considerable support among
members of both the house and the
senate, and the prospect seems to
be for long-continued struggle.
Supporting the Fitzgerald bill, with
its provisions for the state fund in
surance plan, are the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, the American Asso-
citation for Labor Legislation, the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union League,
and all local labor organizations.

operators of Logan county in their
attempt to convict the officials Of Dis
trict II in connection with the armed
uprising of 1921.
Keeney was brought to trial once
before at Charles Town, in this state,
but change of venue was taken to
Morgan county. When the case was
called to trial in that county, the in
dictment was dropped by the prosecu-
ton.
Several months ago William Biz
zard, president of sub-district 2, of
District IL, was brought to trial on
the same charge as that against
Keeney here. A mistrial resulted,
and when the case was called up
again in November, change of venue
was taken to this county.
A novel feature in connection with
the acquittal of Keeney here is that
this county is the home Of Charles
w. Osenton, chief prosecutor for the
state in the indictments growing out
of the miners uprising. Osenton has
been associated with the cases contin-
uously since the first trial of Blizzard
at Charles Town, in April and May,
1922.
These indictments have been called
to trial by Osenton in nine different
instances, but so far only three minor
participants in the uprising have been
convicted Two of these individuals
were used as witnesses for the state
against Keeney in his trial here, and
did not deny that they hoped to re-
ceive pardon from the state as re-
suit of their testimony.

MINING Is RISKY

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.-"How
many of the people who talk glibly
about the high wages paid to min
ers would be prepared TO go into the
pits themselves in order to earn a
miners wage?" asks Editor Roper, of
the Alberta Labor News.
Hardly day goes by without it
being recorded that somewhere there
has been mine accident and miners
have been killed. 1t is such a COM
mon occurrence that little attention is
paid to the reports.
The mines of Alberta are no ex-
ception to those in other parts of the
world. Miners in this province have
lost their lives in as great proportion
as in other parts of the globe, and
consideration of the hardship, perils
and dread of their occupation should
grip the people of this province at
time when the mine workers are fight
ing to retain their present standard
of living"

Washington. The struggle of last
year between organized labor and its
friends on the one hand, and the cas-
uaity insurance companies on the
other hand, is again at white heat in
the district committee Of the house of
representatives. Representative Roy
G. Fitzgerald, of Ohio, chairman OF
a subcommittee Of the committee on

being done without regard for the
rights of labor, without regard for the
principle involved in the 8-hour day
and the right to organize, and without
any regard whatever for the funda-
mental principles at stake. The only
question in the minds of the Coolidge
managers is whether it is politically
expedient to use the label. And pre-
sumably the word of state managers
is accepted as an answer to that oues-
ton.
Protest Made to Campaign Manager
Regarding the Massachusetts sit
uation q letter has been written to
National Committeeman William M.
Butler, of that state, and national
campaign manager for President Cool
idge. No reply has been received.
"The Chicago Federation of Labor
label committee also has taken up the
question actively. | hope that every
trade union in the country will rally
to the principle of trade unionism and
let President Coolidge's campaign
managers understand that trade
unionism for the masses of our wage
earners is not a question of political
expediency. 1t is a question of social
justice, human progress, human free
dom, democracy and true American
ism. The union label is the sign of
those principles-the banner which
proclaims them"

EACH INDUSTRY
Should Aid it's Out-Of-wOrks
Says Garment Workers
Head

New York.-"Our industry owes its
workers a living throughout the en-
tire year." said Morris Sigman, presi-
dent of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, in urging that
an unemployment insurance fund be
created. The cost should be charge
on the industry, as is other charges,
and be contributed by the jobbers as
well as manufacturers.
"How these payments are to be reg
ulated remains to be decided upon lat
er, but this measure will have to be
carried out" said President Sigman.
The union official declared that en-
ployers, as well as workers, should rid
themselves of the idea that reforms in
the industry can be introduced only
as the result of strife and struggle.
Fighting may have been inevitable in
the past as long as both sides could
not begin to understand the nature of
each others part and relation in in
dustry. Not being able to exchange
opinions and without common ground
among themselves, the only alterna-
tive in those days was fight.
President Sigman is confident the
unemployment insurance plan can be
established through sympathetic con-
ference.
While unemployment in the cloak
trade does not always go hand in
hand with longer work week, there
are other influences, said the trade
unionist, who insists that the indus
try can be run on a shorter work
week, and that the 44-hour week
should be established.
"The insurance fund will make it
necessary to organize labor bureau
for the entire trade" said President
Sigman. 'It is necessary for the un-
ion, in order to come in touch with
every worker not only after he is in
the shop, but before he gets to the
shop.
'The industry in general should
welcome a fixed center where en-
ployers can obtain workers of every
kind through the machinery of an or
ganization. The labor bureau will
also serve as an agency that would
determine which Of the unemployed
are entitled to benefit from the pro-
posed insurance fund.-"
