Form Branch of Anti
Imperialist League

At provisional conference held
yesterday afternoon in the Labor
Temple, 243 East Saith St., fifty-three
organizations, represented by 79 dele
gates, participated in the organiza-
tion of a New York branch of the
All-America Anti -Imperialist League.
The delegates, tho representing or
ganizations with widely divergent in
terests, nevertheless united in the
opinion of a need for a local body
to fight more effectively against the
imperialist ambitions and the inva-
sions by the United States in Latin
American countries.
Approximately a score of labor
unions, societies from three colleges,
the Methodist Federation of Social
Service, cooperative organizations, the
League for Industrial Democracy, Ha-
titan, Venezuelan, Mexican, Cnines
and Japanese societies, Workmen's
Circle branches and the Workers
Party were among those represented.

HUNDREDS
Many Are Retired to
Work at Lower Wages

Unemployment in the National Bis
cult Company factories which cover
several square blocks along Ninth
Ave. at 18th, 18th and 18th Sts.,
reached it's high mark this week when
large number of men and women
were laid off for an indefinite period.
According to the workers employed
in this plant, the system of laying off
is an old weapon in the hands of the
bosses, and is used daily as means
to reduce salaries. When the work
ers, VIII oare completely unorganized,
protest against the highly developed
"speed-up" system or any of the in
toIerable conditions they ar eforced
to work under, they are laid off by
any one of the innumerable petty
bosses over them. In this way many
workers are employed only few
days each week, although they are
expected to produce as much work as
they ordinarily do in week.

HUGHES DEFENDS

AT HAVANA meet
Imperialists Squelc h
Salvador Resolution

HAVANA. Feb. 19.-Altho Charles
Evans Huehes and the representa-
tives of Latin-American governments
strongly influenced by the United
States succeeded in suuelcbing the
resolution AGAINST intervention sub
mitted by DIR. Gustavo Guerrero. for
eign minister of Salvador, Latin
American hostility against United
States policies was clearly manifested
in the thunderous applause which
broke from the galleries when the
resolution was introduced.
Altho Guerrero's resolution was
withdrawn later in the day. it was
particularly ant in view of the open
defense of intervention made by
Hughes, who declared:
government breaks down? Are we
to see our American citizens butch
: cred? I am not speaking OF sporadic
disorders. but of cases in which the
government itself is unable to func-
ton. 1t is a principle of international
law that under such circumstances an
other government has the right,
will not say to intervene, but to in
terpose in a temporary manner to
protect the lives and interests of her
nationals"
An incident at Saturdays session
that has aroused a good deal of COM
ment was the reply of Guerrero to
DR.. Maurtua of Peru, who attempted
to defend Hughes speech. Guerrero
declared Maurtua's speech was an in
suit to the South American republics.

LEGAL BOURbONS
DODGE FACTS ON
ANTI-STRIKE LAW
Refuse to Hear Radical
Views

The veil of polite legality and pre-
tended open-mindedness with which
the American Bar Association had at
tempted to conceal its efforts to put
over the open-shop, national anti
strike law was ruthlessly torn off by
them Saturday morning when William
z. Foster, secretary of the Trade
Union Educational League. was tes-
tifying as the final witness in the
hearing.
In an outburst of rage at being
baked in his attempt to outwit Foster
and failing equally in his effort to
prevent the growing exposure of the
real purpose behind the proposed
anti-strike law, Chairman Julius
Henry Cohen after repeated and vio-
lent poundings with his gavel almos'

ers to hear us and we will organize
them to fight against this thing"
Cohen raped wildly with his gavel.
"We have had criticisms of the law
here" he answered.
Without turning about Foster re-
piled: "You know very well that you
want to hear only your yes men,"
For nearly two days attempts had
been made by the Bar Association
Committee to prevent Fosters coming
to the stand. 1t is believed that ac-
counts in newspapers which had car
ried the news that Foster was seek
ing to testify forced them finally to
make the gesture of hearing the
leader who more than anyone else has
been responsible for exposing the
treachery of union officials.

Picketing Urged to Beat
Injunctions
Especial to The DAILY WORKER)
By T. ]. OIL LAHERTY.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 19.-An-
thony P. Minerich, chairman of the
Pennsylvania Ohio-Colorado Miners
Relief Committee, was arrested
Saturday in Lansing, o., while ad-
dr. mass meeting of striking
miners. He was taken to Columbus
in the custody of a United States
marshal.
Minerich who had addressed large
meetings in, Dillonvale and Yorkville,
o., Friday, together with vincent
Kamenovitch, a leading progressive
miner from Daisytown, Penn, urged
the strikers to violate the injuncions
against mass picketing which were
issued by federal judges at the re-
quest of the operators.
Kamenovitch was also arrested at
the Lansing meeting, but was re-
leased Immediately afierward. He
returned to the hall and continued the
meeting. The miners then elected a
committee to call on the sub-district
officials TO protest against Minerichs Is
arrest, the impression being that the
local Lewis machine was not innocent
in the matter.
Steps are being taken to secure
Minerich's release on bail as soon as
the nature of the charge is learned
The miners in Eastern Ohio are in a
state of revolt against the Lewis
machine and the latter will not hesi-

The nomination of AL Smith
was simply ratification of the
decision previously reached by
democratic leaders all over the
country. Months ago it was evil
dent that Smith would be noni-
mated if the party desired to re-
main intact
All of which does not take away
from the fact that Smith is easily
the best vote getter and biggest
public man in the Democratic
party. He fairly won the nominal
ton by his work as Governor of
New York.
p His career is probably without a
parallel. Born in a New York ten
ement, Smith was a member of
Tammany by the time he reached
the age of manhood. For some
years he gave no indication of
being different from the other
products of Tammany with whom
he associated.
But his years in the New York
legislature gave the young politi-
clan new outlook. He worked at
his job and became an expert on
the affairs of his state. Later,
when elected to the governorship
this knowledge formed the foun-
dation of an administration that
has been highly praised by friends
and foes.
Smiths education is largely
from the school Of experience, but
such is the innate common sense
and humanity of the man that the
lack Of a formal education is no.

The Second Battle of Louvain

Mob tears down ant-hate pillars in Louvain
dispute" reads headline Whereupon we pause in
our reading long enough to regret that some Amer
leans who ought to have more tact, haven't.
Back in 1914, when the Kaiser's legions trampled
torc Louvain waste Among the buildings destroyed
was the famous old library of the university
Since that time money was raised in the United
States to rebuild the library Whitney Warren,
brilliant American architect designed the new struc-
ture. But the dedcatory inscription across the stone
oalustrade remains to be carved and over that in
5cription the second battle of Louvain is raging.
Whitney Warren insists it shall read: Destroyed
by German fury; rebuilt by American generosity" and
backing him many students and citizens of the
Town
Opposed to this faction is Monsignor Ladeuze, rec
tor of the university. He is all for the American
generosity" part, but why, he asks, should anybody
want to perpetuate grudges between peoples in
stone which is to endure through the ages?
Thus inspired, the rector had the workers install
the balustrade minus the legend and stationed police
men about it to prevent trouble. But pro- Warren
students broke through the police lines and smashed
the columns, and so the war goes on
Warren is wrong for at least two reasons. First
American it comes in bad taste to insist upon
Objectionable sentiment being carved across the
facade of gift to the Belgians from the American
people. Second, world statesmen are trying to end
international discord, not promote it.
Monsignor Ladeuze is right: Why build monu
ments to hate?
