League Special Session.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. 16.
The League of Nations, which in
this case as in many others, func-
lions for the interests of British i'm
perialism in its worldwide struggle
to defend itself from American i'm
perialism, is moving to a more active
intervention in the Bolivia Paragua-
yam conflict with Aristide BRAND,
president of the League Council,
threatening to call a special session
of the League, which will diplomatic
ally, but insistently, try to prevent
American imperialism in the Wash
ington conference of Pan-American
states from obtaining further con-
troll over Latin-American countries
to the detriment of British interests.
The League has already sent notes
to both Bolivia and Paraguay, both
members of the League, urging
peaceful settlement, but not specify
ing if they should use the League
machinery or leave everything in the
hands of American imperialism.
The League was rebuffed by
Bolivia, which is already making
war, and in order to avoid losing
out altogether, the League must in
crease its diplomatic intervention in
Latin America, though it infringe on
the Monroe Doctrine and will lead,
in the end, to new world war nth
British and American imperialisms
in open, armed conflict.

Party demands that all members OF
the Party unite on a common plat
form for a united struggle against
the forces attempting to split the
Communist ranks. No minor differ
epces can be permitted to stand in
the way of united struggle against

the effect of the action of the COM

calling the membership into a strug-

full adherence to all deci@.ons of the
Comintern, and to show sclid Len

Unity, Activization, feminist Dis

slant support would come from the
anti-imperialist movement of the
whole world and particularly from
Latin-American peoples. Observers
here doubt, however, that the Para
guayan government has any con-
ception of such possibility, despite
the fact that such rallying of Latin
American antagonism to Yankee i'm
perialism would make the country
almost unconquerable.
Long Preparing.
That Bolivian satraps of Yankee
imperialism have long been prepar-
ing for war, and have purposely
stalled off peaceful settlements
through purely Latin-American COM
missions, is seen by dispatches from
Sante Fe, Argentina, that huge ship
ments of munitions and airplanes
destined for Bolivia have been pour
ing through Argentina destined to
Bolivia for three months and more.
To attack Fort Boqueron, which is
located near Puerto Cascade about
400 miles from Bahia Negra, the
Bolivians had to invade Paraguayan
territory in a region where the Men
nonites, a pacifist religious sect
which migrated from Canada to
escape war service for the British
empire, has settled, buying the land
from Paraguay.
From Asuncion, the capital of
Paraguay, comes a report that a
Bolivian aviator had dropped bombs
on the Bahia Negra section, which
is in northern Chaco, while other
Bolivian troops are moving down the
Negro River, and still more troops
were massing along the Pilcomayo
River, evidently intending to ad-
vance down that river in an attack
en- Asuncion.
A number of retired army officers
from Chile have wired to Asuncion
offering their services, and Argen-
tina is considering, if open hostil-
tiles continue, its right under inter-
national law to stop munitions rass-
ing thru its territory to Bolivia.

BRYANT HALL TO
MAKE ALL PLANS
Call for One Powerful
Culinery Union

In a statement addressed to all
restaurant, hotel and culinary
workers, the Executive Council of
the culinary trades for the abolish
ment of private SHARK" employ
ment agencies calls upon all workers
to attend mass meeting tomorrow
at 2:30 p. m. at Bryant Hall, Sixth
Ave-, between 41st and 42nd st.
The purpose Of the meeting, accord
ing to the council, will be to make
plans for tight against the "scab
employment agencies which live on
the misery of unemployed workers"
hrhe appeal, in full, follows:
4. All walters, cooks, countermen
and hotel employees know what it
means to depend upon the grating
scab outfits known as employment
agencies" for job. Every worker
Knows from experience how often
we pay for jobs which do not exist,
how we go from one so-called Job to
another paying 1C per cent each
time we get job for Q week or two
weeks work. These scab employ
ment agencies make millions of dol
lars yearly out Of our poverty and
dire need. Many headwaiters and
chefs and managers are in cohoots
with these parasitic agencies and
get a rake-off for providing fake
jobs. This system of exploitation of
the worst paid and the most help
less workers, men. women and
youths, must be stopped!
Long Hours, Low Wages.
G"Even when the job supplied
Tough the agencies is a genuine
OLE, we face long hours, the 7-day
week, mental and hard labor, star
walton wages and intolerable abuse.
We are compelled to live on left
overs and are housed in unsanitary
s places. The present law is made
cuate to protect the workers from
graft and corruption of the private
employment agencies.
"Only through the workers them
selves, through their own united ac-
ton can we get rid of these instru-
ments of exploitation. Therefore
we call upon all organized labor
and upon all friends of the labor
movement to get together to abol-
ish this evil, to establish free en-
lployment bureau in, New York City
controlled and operated by the
workers.
Urge Powerful Union.
There is only one way to i'm
prove the rotten conditions of vir-
tual slavery, abolish long hours and
the 7-day week and establish condi-
TINS of employment in which the
W. rker can maintain his or her self
respect, and that is by building one
powerful union of all culinary work.
