Vol Softe11s the
Nicaragua Resolution
By MANUEL GOMEZ.
Observation-Disclosures Anti
Imnerialist / ga rmel

WASHINGTON, D. c., (By Mai)
MOT even the slaughter of 300
Nicaraguans by the United States
marines could shake the complacent
calm of the American Federation of
Labor leaders under whose domina-
ton the fifth convention of the So
called Pan-American Federation of
Labor has been holding brief sessions
here off and on for the past three
days, carefully refraining from &C
ton of any kind.
The resolution of protest introduced
by Solomon de la Selva of Nicaragua,
with the fiery warning that "if the
marines do not depart from Nicara-
qua soon they will have to kill all
of us, has been buried in the resolu-
tions committee, of which Matthew
Woll is chairman.
No action has yet been taken, or
even formally proposed, in connec-
ton with the cabled news that the
Panaman and Haitian delegations
were arrested as they were about to
embark for the United States. Inas-
much as Haiti is directly under
marine rule this is an embarrassing
question" for American imperialism
and it apologists.
Today, lest one of the 20 Latin
American delegates-most, but not
all, Of whom are handpicked by the
American Federation of La b +
bHreaucracy-mig be so inconsid-
crate as to resuscitate the Nicara-
guam issue, all sessions are called off
while the delegates are being enter
tanned on a personally conducted visit
to Mt Vernon.
De la Selva's resolution on Nicara-
qua declared that: Intervention of
the United States is creative of a
state of mind not conducive to friend
ship and good will towards the Uni
ted States and the American people,
who are in no way responsible for
the incident"
Call For Emphatic Protest.
"Be it resolved" said the resolu-
ton, "by the fifth congress of the
Pan-American Federation of Labor to
register a most emphatic protest
against the presence and activities of
the United States marine corps in
Nicaragua and against any Interior
ence son the part Of the United States
Government in the domestic affairs
of the Nicaraguan people
"Resolved, that this resolution be
transmitted by telegraph to the
President of the United States CT
America at his summer residence
with the urgent request that the Uni
ted States forces be withdrawn. from
Nicaragua Immediately, in accord
ance with the letter and spirit of this
resolution"
The Nicararuan delegate had a
hard time reading his resolution at
all, due to Observation-Disclosures OBJ
iections by President William Green.
Finally he was allowed to present it
in open session Yesterday morning.
He did so. moving it's immediate
adoption. Delegate Frank Morrison
of the American Federation of Labor
promptly rose ard said: "Why that
has to go to the resolutions COM
mittee!'
Martinez Seeks Prompt Protest.
At this point Ricardo Martinez Of the
Venezuelan Labor Union asked for
the floor. There was some hesitation
about giving it to him, but he sue
ceeded in saying:

mediacy of the matter dealt with in

Curbs on C0rbin Place
Ordered, Paving Killed

Although the common council en-
phatically refused to permit paving
of Corbin place and returned to the
board of public works its recommen-
dation to this end, a resolution has
been passed to install concrete curbs
along the road. 1t is believed that
passage of this resolution was an
oversight on the part OF the COM
mon council since its sole purpose
was to prepare the highway for the
paving, and for this reason it is not
planned to carry through the oper-
alton at this time, although the job
has been reached on the schedule of
operations.

Call Money Reduced and Trading
Pops Up

New York, Aug, l P-Rising
tendencies ushered in the new week
in the stock market. Bullish senti-
ment was created by the reduction
in the call money rate from the re-
newal figure OF to SIX per cent,
the favorable crop outlook and the
prospect Of good fall business in
several Of the basic industries.
High grade rails. whose current
dividend yield is above prevailing
interest rates, were again In brisk
demand. Among the many stocks to
register new highs in that group
were Atchison, New York Central,
chesapeake and Ohio. Great North
ern preferred, Northern Pacific. and
Erie common. Texas and Pacific
and st. Louis Southwestern also re-
corded substantial gains.
Rumors Of increasing competition
and price cutting failed to stem the
advance in the motors. General Mo
tors crossed 229 to a new peak price
for the present stock and brisk
inquiry developed for several of the
medium priced issues. Abraham and
Straus assumed leadership Of the
