united STATES
WILL NOT Let
DIAz QUIT NOW

WASHINGTON. Feb. l0.-The
United States will not ask President
Diaz, head of the Conservative gov
eminent in Nicaragua. 10 resign, no
matter what course the present revo-
luton there may take.
The attitude Of the state depart
ment was made known today follow
ing press reports from Nicaragua that
Diaz had announced his willingness TO
renounce his post, provided the
United States looked with favor upon
such a move.
The Diaz regime was recognized,
officials pointed out, because the
United States believed it TO be the
constitutional government of Nicara-
qua. To demand now that Diaz step
aside could be interpreted only as an
attempt by this government to inter-
fere in the political life of that ma
ton, they said. In view Of the inva-
sion Of Nicaragua by United States
troops and its open aid given to Diaz
this is looked on as a joke on the
public.
II was indicated that Diaz will be
given full support by this government
until he is supplanted by another con-
stitutionally elected president. The
United States has already informed
DR.. Juan b. Sacasa, leader of the lib
eral forces, that he will never be ac-
corded recognition.

new SIGMAN TRICKERY REVEALED IN
LABOR BANK WAR ON JOINT BOARD

Joint Board and the unions still had
the stock and the buildings at their
disposal, they could costly pay off
their loan to the bank.
Bank Offers Excuse.
When this became known, the bank
offered the lame excuse that they
had Mr., Umhey transfer these things
to himself for the banks protection.
But now, the bank, through Mr.. Hill
quit, who is Mr.. Umhey's boss, brings
this action for $1U4 10000, evidently
desiring to keep all Of the unions
property, Of the Joint Board, and the
lett wing unions, which is worth more
than the amount of the loan to the
bank, and in addition wants TO have
judgment against the Joint Board.
When MIR. Umhey transferred the
bank stock and the properties to HIM
sell, the bank claimed that he did it
for its protection, and now it has
evidently forgotten that it had
enough protection and it tries to get
judgment in addition, so that the
bank may have a judgment and Mr.
Umhey may have the prperty-for
whose benefit is Of course apparent.
AN interesting development in this
connection is that in the two actions
against the Joint Board, the Inter-
national Union Bank with Mr.. Hill
quit as it's attorney, swears that
julius Portnoy is still the secretary
tseasurer of the Joint Board, although
all along Mr.. Sigman and Mr.. Hill
quit claimed that Mr.. julius Portnoy's
is no Joint Board at all and that the
proper Joint Board is at No. West

imperialism in Latin America is
not new" he continued, what is new
is the reaction of the workers of those
countries.
"The American worker has no
quarrel with the workers of Mexico,
Nicaragua or China. We say, hands
off Mexico! Hands off Nicaragua!
Hands off China.
In his opening remarks Weinstone
said that the struggle Of the Can
tonese revolutionary government eff
fects the welfare Of one billion PEG
pie in China, India, Soviet Russia and
lrdo-China. The defeat Of the Chi
nese involves, first, the possibility Of
capitalism getting a new foothold in
China and checking the progress OF
the decay of the British empire.
Second, it seems the destruction Of
an ally of the Soviet Union and the
emboldening of the Imperialism in
their present attempt to encircle the
Soviet Union and destroy the work
Of the revolution"
GitlOw Attacks Imperialism.
Ben Gitlow spoke against the con
tinuation Of the policy of capitalist
imperialism, and told of the effects
it has on the workers at home and
abroad
Jay LoVestone, who has specially
studied the subject Of imperialism as
the final phase Of capitalism, an
alysed the factors involved, and called
Oh workers to stop the imperialistic
march, embodied in Coolidge's policy
towards Latin America and the west
ern capitalist powers attitude towards
China.
The resolution adopted demanded
the withdrawal of American troops
from China and Nicaragua, and the
recognition Of the Canton govern
ment.
The meeting adopted strong reso-
lutions against Imperialism, and
against the fascist regime in Lithu-
ania.

LIBERTIES union
TO HAVE HEARING
ON FREE SPEECH
School Board Refused
Use of Auditorium

A decisive victory was gained yes
terday by the Civil Liberties Union
when Supreme Court Justice Gavegan
signed an order instructing the board
of education to grant a hearing to
the union upon its application to lee
ture in the schools of the city. The
school board had previously denied the
Liberties Union the use of the school
auditoriums, claiming that the schools

fight.
Nolpromise was given to the union
by the judge that he would actively
assist in getting the school board to
rescind their former ruling, but as
sured them that under the law hear
ing can be demanded.
This fight started in May, 1926,
when an application to speak at the
Morris High School was not granted.
The union sought to hold a meeting
week later but met with the same
refusal. On June /, attempts were
made to engage the Stuyvesant High
School auditorium. Again it was re-
fused.
The board of education held that
it was justified in its action, inasmuch
as it believed the Liberties Union to
be a radical organization, and was
furthering a doctrine foreign to Amer
lean ideals. Samuel Untermyer, repre-
sentative Of the union. contended that
its speakers have a right to use the
school building of the city, to hold
orderly meetings and to discuss before
the public any subject. no matter how
radical or conservative.

actions are on promissory notes ag-
gregating S104,0O0.00. The Joint
Board is sued on two notes, one for
$44,00O.00 and one for S15,000.00 and
the Building Corporation is sued on
one note for 100000. The history
of those cases is interesting in more
respects than one.
During the last strike, the Inter-
national, the Joint Board and the
Local Unions represented in the Joint
Board, entered into joint agreement
with the International Union Bank,
whereby the bank agreed to loan to
them S389,000.00 on the security of
the shares of stock Of the Inter-
national Union Bank which the unions
owned, and which amounted in the
aggregate to more than one half Of
the entire capital stock of the bank.
In addition, the Joint Board and the
local unions, agreed not to transfer
their real estate, which they owned
through holding corporations, until
the bank loan was paid off. Upon
the advice Of Mr.. Morris Hillquit, who
was then the attorney for the unions,
the shares of the bank stock, as wei
as the shares of the real estate hold
ing corporations which the unions
owned, were deposited with Mr.. Hill
quits clerk, Mr.. Frederick f. Umhey,
as trustee.
HiIlquit To The Rescue.
Mr.. Hillquit explained to the unions
that that was necessary in order that
they might not dispose Of their real
estate or of their bank stock before
they paid up the loan to the bank.
But when the fight between the right
and left wings developed, it was dis
covered that Mr.. Umhey, the "trus-
tee" had Sc manipulated the shares of
the real estate holding corporation,
which were deposited with him in
trust, that he suddenly became the
owner Of the Joint Board building, as
well as Of the building Of Locals 2, 8
and %.
1t also became known that he had
surreptitiousIy transferred to himself
the shares of the stock Of the Inter-
national Bank which had been de-
posted with him in trust, so that he
became officially the owner of the
same. The shares Of bank stock and
the buildings are Of course worth
much more than the amount of the

unions upon this security and if the

Alarmed at the remarkable success

of the Joint Board, President Morris

ing desperate efforts to throw dis
credit upon the bonds and so halt
their sale to workers, according to
Julius Portnoy, secretary of the bond

He declared that Sigman is resort

Mr.. Portnoy announced that more

how to effect the exchange. These
