BOSSES METHOD

Simultaneously with the announce
,ment that William Green, president
Of the American Federation of Labor,
would personally conduct the fight
against the use of injunctions in la
Dor disputes at Washington comes the
information that an injunction has
been obtained by Abraham Shiplacoff,
manager of the International Pocket
Makers Union, against an employer
in the trade.
"The resort to injunctions by a
union, we know, is unusual" Shipla-
coff admitted, "but we will now meet
the employers with their own weap-
ons.P
The proceedings arose out of the
cttmept of Cohen Brothers and Ber-
man, go West 34th ST., to violate an
agreement with the union by moving
it's plant from New York to Lyn-
brook. The agreement withthe union
does not expire until August, 1929.
Goes to Enemy Workers.
The injunction secured by Shipla-
coff is intended to prevent the firm
from discharging it's employees and
moving to Lynbrook. It was granted
py Supreme Court Justice Thomas
c. T. Crane, notorious injunction
Judge, who has handed down more
Than score of restraining orders
against union activity within recent
months.
"The employers may find the in
junction a double edged sword,' Ship
lacoff bcasted. Given fair judi
ciary, labor can occasionally make use
of it as well as capital"
Right Wing Aids Bosses.
Shiplacoff is socialist and one of
the so-called right wing leaders of
the needle trades In the pre-war
period when the socialist party was
still fighting for the interests Of Ia
Dor it's opposition to the use of in
functions in labor disputes was bitter
and open. In recent times right wing
leaders in the needle trades have not
only abandoned their previous stand

The Pan-American Conference, pre-
viously decked with flowery words of
"good will' and American coop
eration,p opens in the midst of an ac-
tual imperialist, Wall Street war of
aggression against Latin-America.
The true meaning of Pan-American-
ism is clear.
American Imperialist Hypocricy.
American capitalism and the United
States government as whole must
take full responsibility for the crime.
The United States senate, after pri-
vate agreement between the leaders of
both the republican and democratic
parties, abruptly adjourned it's ses-
sions to prevent discussion on resolu.
tions which had been submitted
against intervention in Nicaragua!
This particular war, this war which
is actually taking place, cannot be de-
bated--even in the United States SEN
ate! Oh, no, at may embarrass the
president at Havana" What the sena-
tor who pronounced those words
meant was that it might expose too
clearly the president at Havana,
might expose what American imper-
ialism is doing under the hypocritical
slogan of Pan-Americanism.
Latin-American affairs play an i'm
portant role in all foreign policy of
the Wall Street government at the
present time.
1t is noteworthy that even in these
hypocritical proposals of treaties
which Secretary Kellogg makes to
France, it is stipulated that the pro-
visions for arbitration do not apply
to the Monroe-Doctrine zone of Amer
lean Imperialism in Latin-America.
American foreign policy conceives
of Latin-America as the cornerstone
of a politico-economic American en-
pire which can be thrown into the
scales against the European empires
in the struggle for world domination.
That President Coolidge himself, ac-
companied by an impressive delega-
tion sees fit to make the trip to Ha-
vana, is an earnest of the rapid un-
folding of the new drive to subjugate
Latin-A America.
Can't Hide Crimes in Nicaragua.
But it is an earnest of something
else as we'll. The delegation has been
selected with such care because any
American delegation at any Pan
American Conference just now will
have it's hands full in parrying the in
creasingly insistent counter-attacks
of the representatives of a now thor
oughly aroused Latin-America. Even
though the U. S. state department has
already exercised great care and
brought all the weights of it's influ-
ence to bear in determining that the
of Latin-American
governments at Havana will be unable
to speak out plainly, the mass senti-
ment in Latin-America is so great
that unless every precaution is taken,
the conference is likely to break up
under the weight Of protest.

all the state industries, and crystalline
sentiment behind the miners strike"
This sounds good and might be en-
couraged, but William Collins, A. F.
of L. field organizer and chairman
of the conference, blasted all hopes
that the militant announcement of
intentions might generate when he
declared that mo specific program is
mapped out, but we will be guided by
developments"
This statement by Collins was in
reply to a query whether the labor
officials included the steel trust
among the industries they proposed to
organize.
Political Vancouver.
The real purpose of the conference
is political vancouver designed to
impress the capitalist politicians of
Pennsylvania.
No well-informed person here en-
tertains the slightest hope that the
A. F. of l.. officials who have sabot-
aged every effort to raise adequate
relief for the miners will organize

~ All Mention Labor Struggle.
Without exception all the messages
of greetings refer to some specific
struggle in which the columns of The
DAILY WORKER have been used eff
fectively in organizational work or
as guide to action when the masses
were looking in vain to the old leaders
of the labor movement for solution
of their problems. One of the mes
sages from a section where there is
not even one Party member says:
when we were faced with a serious
problem that we could not solve, we
would decide to wait until we re-
ceived our daily paper, confident that
its comment upon our struggle would
also contain the solution for the i'm
mediate situation, and we were never
disappointed" Herein is the indica-
tion, at least as applied to the prob
lens of the workers of that locality,
of the claim that The DAILY WORK
ER is functioning as the collective
organizer of the working class.
Will Celebrate Anniversary.
1t is these workers, who appreciate
the significance of maintaining the
paper, who will participate in the an
niversary celebrations that are being
held in various parts, of the country.
Nowhere has The DAILY WORK
off 10
to action than in the great labor
struggles of New York and vicinity
and these workers will have an oppor-
tunity to celebrate the close of four
years activity and the beginning of
the fifth year at Mecca Temple, this
Friday evening, where an elaborate
program has been arranged that iff-
cludes, in addition to the usual fea-
lures, a musical and theatrical pro-
gram that surpasses anything of a
similar nature presented in New York
this season.
Tarasova's Last Appearance.
AS many of the readers of our pa
per are interested in Russia and ad-
mire the folk songs that are so en-
ticing, the arrangements committee
has been fortunate enough to induce
the famous Russian singer of folk
songs, Nina Tarasova, to appear at
the celebration and concert. This will
be the last appearance of this inter-
nationally famous star on an Ameri-
can stage before she starts another
European tour. Others to appear are
Doris Niles, the famous interpreta-
tive and classic dancer who stands
alone in her class; Paul Althouse, the
world renowned Metropolitan Opera
tenor, and Sascha Jacobsen, the violin
virtuoso.

The question of Nicaragua is not
on the order of business. However,
three Latin-American governments
have already presented proposals for
taking up the question of Intervention
in Latin-America. The United States
delegation will do everything in it's
power to prevent such an improper"
discussion from disturbing the har-
mony of the gathering.
The Havana Conference--A War
Conference.
But the ghost Of Nicaragua will
haunt the sessions of the Pan-Amer-
ican Conference at Havana. The GRIM
inal war cannot be ignored. The
bloody invasion of Nicaragua remains
the true expression of United States
policy in America. 1t is Pan
Americanism and the Monroe Doc
trine in practice. Neither the frantic
efforts of the state department
spokesman, nor the landing of Wall
Streets proudest military aviator at
Havana, can do more than emphasize
the hypocritical aggressive purposes
which are hidden beneath the term
"Pan-Americanism."
Pan-Americanism means subsection
of Latin-America to the United
States.

FEAR WORKERS

SANDING FORCE
Havana Meet May Hear
of Nicaragua

MANAGUA, Jan. S.-Fearing that
railroad communications with Mana
qua may be cut off as the result of
the stevedores' strike at the harbor
of Corinto and the maneuvers of
armed patrols which are reported to
be gathering in the hills outside of
the town, Col. Mason Gulick, COM
,nander of the United States marine
forces in Nicaragua, left for Corinto
by airplane.
The strike of stevedores which has
been tying up Nicaraguan shipping
for days was declared in sympathy
with the struggle of the army of in
dependence under General Augustine
Sandino, a mine worker. If the har-
Dor workers join the armed forces
gathered outside Corinto, it is feared
by the United States officials and the
Nicaraguan national guard that these
forces nay seize the port and cut
off all communication between Man
aqua and the sea
On Way to Corinto.
Detachments of several hundreds of
marines are already on their way to
Corinto and the seizure of the port
would deprive them of landing place
in Nicaragua as Corinto is the only
harbor suitable for sea-going vessels
en- the west coast of Nicaragua.
The loss of Corinto would be 8
severe blow to the Diaz regime and
its American marine supporters. since
sixty-five per cent of the country's
commerce comes thru the port, anf

Anti Municipal Ownership
Campaign in Iowa Re-
vealed in Quiz.
BY CECIL OWEN
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia
campaign of Iowa utility interests
to retard a movement for munich
pally-owned power plants in that
State was described today as the
Federal Trade Commission resumed
it's investigation of the power in
dustry.
Municipalities where the senti-
ment in favor Of a publicly-owned
plant was strong were circularized
with literature designed to per-
Suade the citizens against taking
such step, H. P Weeks, director
of the Iowa section Of the National
Electric Light Association, testified
In addition, Weeks said, his Or
ganization distributed l65 copies Of
the utility propaganda magazine
each month among members of the
Iowa State Legislature. This pub
lication, Publis Service Magazine, is
issued in Chicago by H. ]. Gonden.
A $3.50 check to Gonden was placed
in the Record.
Other checks showed weeks asso-
citation paid Walter E. Schwab, an
Iowa City consulting engineer, for
making a survey in 1924 of rates
charged by existing city-owned
plants. Weeks said the plan was to
show private utilities charged less.
At the time, Schwab was a part
time instructor in Iowa University.
A second survey was made in 1926,
after Schwab left the college.
Propaganda work among Iowa
women was undertaken by Weeks
group, the witness said.
Payment Of $676 to the railroad
audit and inspection service was
shown by another check, dated Jan.
81, 1925. This was for a study of
oil engines as motor power in util-
ity plants, Weeks said.
Cross-examination developed that
the study was intended to combat
a movement for towns to operate
their own utilities with such power,
Weeks testified.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 49,
The Republican party'S agricultural
record was spread before the Indi-
ana farmers here Monday night,
when Charles Curtis, Republican
nominee for Vice President, adj
dressed 5000 persons who crowded
the auditorium.
Governor Ed Jackson, Lieutenant
Governor Harold F. Van Orman,
Harry G. Leslie, gubernatorial nomi-
nee, and State candidates and Re-
publican leaders were here to well
come the vice presidential nominee.
The farmers distress, Curtis said,
was occasioned by the postwar drop
in prices of agricultural products
after farmers had been encouraged
to cultivate larger tracts of land,
to raise more cattle and hogs, and
to increase crop production.
while the farmer was producing
and selling at greatly reduced prices
and in some instances, at a loss,
said Curtis, "the prices of the
things which he had to buy did
not drop in proportion to those he
had to osell. The result was that
the farmer was harder hit than any
other class. The situation was acute
and quick relief was required. 1t
was given by the Republicans"
Principal measures enacted by Re
publicans to afford this relief, said
Curtis, included:
The Farm Loan Board, providing
money to resume lending on farm
property.
The intermediate farm credit act
of March, 1923, to establish a flex-
ible banking and credit system I'M
