COLOMBIA YIELDS
TO OIL MACNATES
Native Indians Revolt
Near Barcos Tract

BOGOTA, Colombia, Sept. 6 (UP).
Secretary of Industry Montalvo
told the United Press today that he
was submitting to the senate new
oil law based on "the open door ma
tionalization policy"
The new law, it was hoped, would
meet the objections of foreign oil
interests that the revised Colombian
oil policy was confiscatory.
The government was investigating
today reports that oil men had in
vaded the former Barrcos concession
territory, entering from the Vene-
zaelan border. The Barrcos conces-
sion to American oil interests recent
ly was ordered invalidated by the
government. Border garrisons will
be reinforced.
1t was reported from Cucuta today
that 200 natives of the Motilone In
dian tribe were within a few miles
OF Puerto Villamizar on the Barrcos
concession and were hostile.

SHOE STRIKERS
PUT UP DEMANDS
Recognition of Union
Is Chief Requirement

Swinging into an offensive, the
70 strikers who have completely
naralyzed the shoe factory of the
S. Liebermann Co., Hope ST., Brook
lyn, for over a week, yesterday put
forward three main demands the
employers will be compelled to ac-
cede to before they will resume
work in the shop. Recognition of
the Independent Shoe Workers
Union, reinstatement of general
chairman A, Mershon, and the re-
turn of the per cent wage cut en-
forced several months ago, are the
demands unanimously voted for at
the strikers meeting yesterday
morning in Arcadia Club. Hope and
Rodney SITS, Brooklyn.
From the beginning of the strike,
the craftsmen, who comprise 100 per
cent of the plants working force,
had simply asked the firm to re-
instate the general chairman, whose
dismissal for union activities had
first precipitated the walkout. Since
the firm stubbornly decided to chal-
lenge the workers organization,
even indulging in a vain attempt to
replace the strikers by scabs, the
workers decided to increase their
strike demands.
The Joint Council of the Shoe
workers Union, which had formu-
lated the demands at its meeting
Wednesday night. which it later pre-
scented for adoption to the strikers
meeting, also announced series of
activities which will mobilize their
membership for support of the Lie
hermann strike as we'll as for gen.
eral recruiting drive the union is
about to begin.
Section meetings of union mem
bers employed in all sections CT
Greater New York will be held in
the next few DAYS, with the first
scheduled for this Sunday after
noon. This will be the Coney Island
section. which will meet at 2:30
%. m. in the Workers House, 2901
Mermaid Ave-, Coney Island. The
organizer and president will deliver
a report. A general membership
meeting of the entire city will also
be held the coming Tuesday night,
with the meeting place still to be
announced.
A call was also issued yesterday
to all members of the organization
committee to attend a meeting to-
night in the union headquarters, 81
East 10th St. Matters pertaining
to tire Lieberman strike and plans
for the union membership drive will
be discussed at tonight's meeting.
