United Fruit Co. comply with the la
Dor legislation of Colombia, which
provides for life insurance, insurance
against accidents, erection of hospi-
tails, housing and sanitation. These
workers are also demanding an in

"The United Fruit Co. has cate

Fruit Co. Army.
"The presence of officials of the
United Fruit Co. dressed in the uni
form of the Colombian army, who
are directing the troops against the
strikers and who are responsible for
the brutal murder of more than
forty strikers, has aroused the in
dignation of the natives of Colombia.
"The order to Commander Col
Inns of the navy, who is in the Canal
zone, commanding him to Be ready
to lend assistance in case the lives
of the American citizens" are in
danger, is an indication that the
United States government has de-
cided that it will allow no obstacles
to stand in its way in order to in
sure a victory for the United Fruit
Co. against the strikers.
"The strike and the menace of
direct intervention by the United
States naval forces in Colombia,
comes at a time when Mr.. Hoover
is on his good will' trip in Latin
America for the purpose Of strength
ening the power of Wall st. against
British Imperialism. The aggres-
sive and ruthless role of American
Imperialism in Latin America is
characterized by use of national
Governments, as in the case of
Colombia at the present time, to
crush strikes of workers and en-
slave the masses. The events in
Colombia should open the minds of
the Latin American workers to the
danger confronting the oppressed
masses of Latin America.

CONFERENCE THIS
THURSDAY WILL
TAKE UP PROBLEM
Women in CandyPlants
Viciously Exploited

Calling attention to the intense
exploitation of women workers in
the unskilled and senli-skilled trades
where trades union organization is
confronted with the opposition of
powerful corporations and trusts,
the New York Working Womens
Federation cites the condition of the
candy workers of New York state
as an example.
According to official reports there
are no less than $500 workers en-
ployed in the candy factories of the
state, $500. of them in Greater New
York. Working in dark and filthy
Easements, long and cxhausting
hours of work, especially during the
rush season before holidays, hey
are miserably underpaiG, specded-
up and fired" the minute The rush
lets up.
The New York Working Women's
Federation Delegate Conference,
called for this Thursday evcGine at
the Labor Temple, 14th 81. anG Sec
ond Ave, will lay before the dele
gates the proposals of the Fedora
ton for reaching not only the mass
of women in, the candy trades, but
plans for an extensive drive to
arouse women workers to organize
to fight for better conditions against
the hostile forces of the employers
and the reactionary labor bureau
Gratis of the A. F. of L., who have
closed their eyes to the
situation and openly fought the eff
forts of militant workers to organ
ize industries employing great num-
bers of women.
The policy of the A. F. Of l.. bu- )
reaucrats is to exclude women
workers from the unions wherever
possible and to avoid organizing
them. The initiative to organize the
women of New York has come from
the vanguard of militant women,
particularly in the needle trades, and
the New York Working Women's
Federation att the coming delegate
conference Thursday will lay down
the policy for an energetic campaign
to push organization in every trade.

against the tellers and executive
board-which charges will certain
ly result in Fishwick's administra-
ton whitewashing the guilty ones.
and convincing a number of miners
that their place is with the new
National Miners Union.
When the committee first began
investigating the vote, Fishwick
made desperate effort to prevent
their exposing his henchmen and
sent a letter to all locals that any
body who gave any information to
the committee would be expelled
In spite of this, the locals in gen
eral voted to hand over a record of
their votes, thus providing the best
possible evidence of the ballot steal.
So far the Fishwick machine has
expelled six progressive miners of
Peoria sub-district for their part in
exposing the fraudulent counting of
the votes.
New Union Grows.
The National Miners Union is Or
ganizing locals everywhere, but the
U. M. w. A. check-off still forces
them to also pay dues to the old
union, and the employers force all
workers to show cards in the old
union.
Conditions are very bad through
out the district, under the U. NJ.
W. A. agreement. The installation
of machinery goes on, and without
any compensation being made to
the miners thrown out of work. One
mine in Benld is about to install a
new automatic loader which will let
two men load $40 tons shift, and
will throw 200 men out of work. |
This viii bring a revolt, for the
miners of Benld are militant, and
most of them own their own homes,
which they have been paying for
for years, and do not want to lose.
Of 10000 miners normally en-
ployed in Belleville sub-district,
there are now only 1859 working.
Last month they worked IS days
and divided the work, which means
only days pay for each miner.
The employers are trying to cut
wages still more, by putting the
loading machines on a tonnage
basis, instead of the $8.O4 a day
which the old scale paid. In Benld
they have fixed the rate at SO cents
ton, which means that more than
q tons a miner will have to be
loaded to let him get the same wage
he draws at present.

open letter to Marshal Foch in con-

Both Foch and Painleve, minister of

had declared that he was ordered
not to "clean the Bolsheviks out"

NEW YORK, July 14.-Tex Rick
ard refuses to believe the rumors cur
rent along Broadway to the effect that

bic and expansive He took evident
pleasure in announcing to newspaper
men that he and his staff had Just fil-

Merit Of Systems Debated.
There has been much discussion as
to whether the system Of judging bouts

a REFEREES better or even as good as
the old custom of making the referee
the sole arbiter and Judge of a contest.
II has been pointed out that the referee
would be the responsible one, and that
the responsibility could not be divided
nor the blame. If any. shirked under
the one-man referee plan.
The supporters of the judging system
now In use point out that it Is more
difficult to steal decision" where
three men are concerned than it would
be in the case of only one man. My
answer to this is that If any crooked
work is afoot 1t doesn't make much
difference what system Is used. And
have found In my long experience that
referees are pretty honest folk. They
take a great deal of pride in that hon.
eSty. too. I'd hate to be the fellow who
tried to get men like George Siler,
Charley White. Bill Brown or several
others of the old-timers could men,

when they gave decision there was
nothing wrong with 1t. II there we're
