Significant Utterance

Following closely upon protective
measures taken in behalf of Ameri-
can enterprises in Nicaragua, China
and Mexico, the statement held added
significance. 1t was the second
Coolidge speech on foreign policy
within ten days. The first was an
appeal to the press delivered at the
United Press Associations dinner in
New York. East nights speech waS1
directed to American business.
Likewise the address marked a
second step in the Campaign OF
education" Coolidge is carrying on in
explanation of his foreign policies
answering the somewhat blistering
criticism leveled against them by
some forces in Congress just prior
to the March Adjournment.
Opposes Harsh Course
Again Coolidge stressed his dc.
sire to be of help to the smaller
republics Of the Americas. They
have found here the chief market for
their raw materials, and we have
found in them a consuming agency
for absorption of manufactures.
Hence, he maintained, our Pan.
American relations should not be
carried on in a harsh business way,
but in a spirit of mutual interde.
pendence.
Our associates in the Pan.Ameri-
can Union all stand on an absolute
equality with u.s." Coolidge said. ut
is the often declared and established
policy of this Government to use its
resources not to burden them, but
TO assist them; not to control them,
but to cooperate with them.
1--WE must cooperate in the adj
vancement of the Pan.American
Union through mutual helpfulness.
mutual confidence and mutual for
bcarance.

constantly beaten down and their con-
ditions of labor are almost unbearable.
At the same time the public has been
used in the most shameful fashion;
millions Of men and women compelled
to use the lines suffer from poor
service and are TANNED into sitting
trains like sardihes. The service has
been cut TO the minimum and the
law is continually violated by scare
ity Of trains during the rush hours.
The physical equipment is deteriorat-
ing SO that it is far below the mar
ket price of the watered stock. Hence
the public is incensed at conditions
and will be solidly behind strike.
Now is Time to Strike.
The leaders Of the subway strike
Of year ago as well as all expert
enced labor leaders declare that now
is the opportune time to launch a
drive for unionization Of the lines
and that a determined stand by the
organizers Of the Amalgamated and
the officials Of the A. F. of /. will
mobilize the workers of the traction
lines against the company and the
fake union maintained by Messers
Quackenbusch, Hedley, Dahl & Co.
At the very moment when such
action could be most successful the
officials charged with defending the
interests Of the workers indulge in
the most disgraceful crawling before
the state labor department as we'll
as before Untermyer whose interest
in the traction investigation is limit
ed to fighting the Dahl-Chadbourne
control in behalf of the House Of
Morgan and the Rockefeller con-
trolled National City Bank.
Organizers.
Even Untermyer, hard-boiled cor
poration lawyer and union fighter,
was amazed at the servility Of the la
Dor takers who appear more anxious
to assure the traction magnates that
they will not harm them. that they
are to make a pretense of organizing
workers. There are indications that
those workers who have since the
last strike Joined the Amalgamated
will demand the recall of the Off
Gals from New York

NEWS FROM NEW JERSEY
(By special Correspondent.l

NEWARK, N. j., June 22.-The
teamsters, chauffeurs and helpers
working for firms dealing in mason
materials and building supplies have
been out on strike since their agree
ment expired the first of June.
The bosses organized into the
Mason Materials Supply Association,
attempted to establish the open shop
and refused to sign up again with the
Transfers Union, Local 478. AS a
result, workers in the yards of the en-
ployers went out on a strike and pro-
ceeded to picket The men demanded
IAN increase of wages of SO and i'm
proved working conditions. The bosses
refused to arbitrate or compromise.
Get Injunction.
After three weeks of striking the
bosses secured a temporary injunction
last week prohibiting picketing. Yes
terday when the union and strikers
appeared in court the injunction was
modified and pieketing will resume
Thursday morning.
Since the strike, however, the ranks
of the bosses have broken down. The
following firms have broken away
from the open shop bosses associa-
ton and are operating closed, union
shops: John P. Callaghan, Harrison
Supply, Decker Building Materials,
Newark Mason Supply, Montclair
Builders Material Co., and Gornitzky.

former employees. Fred Carlin and

tives, are to appear in the Chancery
Court in Trenton on July LIST.

The ranks of the strikers are 100
per cent strong. All the yards of the
scab employers are crippled and shut
down. Practically no supplies leave
the yards. The hosting engineers re-
fuse to handle material hauled by
scab chauffeurs and drivers. Conse-
quently they have been served with
injunetions and are being fought by
the bosses.
To date six employers have settled
and eleven more have not seen fit to
maintain agreement with the union.

Scott Nearing Talk
On War Danger Jams
Workers Party Meet

More than 1000 workers crowded
into Bryant Hall, Sixth Ave. near

War.
I'm 1914. when the world war
started, " said Nearing, we were told
that it was the war to end war but
ever since then we have seen conflicts.
This will continue as long as CAPT
talism exists.
"The causes Of the world war are
still with US. in fact even more in
tensified. In 1914 it was England
against Germany. Today, it is Eng
lard against the United States.
THE League Of Nations was form
ed, according to its sponsors to end
war. However, since it has been in
existence the menace Of war has
risen. The reason is not difficult. 1t
is dominated by three large military
Acknowledgment, France and Italy.
America did not enter the league
because she has found that more
money can be made by staying out
side"
When the lecture ended substan-
tial collection was taken up for The

present signed application blanks for
membership in the Workers Com
munist) Party. The lecture was ar

BARRIERS Strike On.

NEWARK, N. j., June pa gen.
eral strike of the BARRIERS affiliated
with Local SIT of the A. F. Of L. is
on since Monday. At present over
500 men are out on strike and the
ranks will be doubled to 1000 before
the week is over. The spirit of the
men is high. The rank and file of
the workers are out picketing daily
and bring in recruits every hour Of
the day. Meetings are held twice
daily at 8 a. m. and p. m.
Today, a big percentage of the men
working around the four corners,
downtown, walked out on strike. In
this section the aristocracy of the
trade are employed. The meanest
conditions exist but the men do not
realize the slave shops they are work
ing in. Newark is considered the
"blackest hole" in the country as far
as working conditions for the bar
bers. The fight to unionize the shops
in Newark and vicinity will be sue
cessful. The workers realize this is
their opportunity to increase their
wages and shorten their hours and
to establish strong and powerful
union here.
