Withdrawal of United States mill

is urged upon the workers of Amer

~ the All America Anti-Imperialist
League, United States Section.
The statement points out that the

American invading army are fight

and suggests that the words of pro-
test be heard at the Sixth Pan Amer

Text of Statement.
The Statement in full, reads as fol-
lows:
The United States government is
sending 1000 additional marines to
Nicaragua, bringing the tooal marine
forces there up to more than $500.
These are in addition to the airplanes
and other instruments of destruction
in Nicaragua and the United States
warships in Nicaraguan waters,

States is conducting against the Mica

gression, a war to finally destroy
every vestige Of Nicaraguan freedom.
All the honeyed expressions of

in at this time with regard to Latin

the cynical methods which character

Change in Workers Life

This change which has taken place
in the lives of the working popula-
ton as result of the development of
industry and its Capitalization of
ownership in the hands of few Wall
Street bankers, brings with it a rise
in the number of wage-earners and a
decrease in the number of employers.

WHEELER WOULD DAM
CLARK'S FORK RIVER

A plan to partially control the
Yellowstone in times of flood and
also aid the Riker project for
Mississippi flood control is pro
posed in a joint resolution intro
duced in the Senate by Senator
B. K. Wheeler. The purposes OF
the proposed project are set forth
in the resolution thus:
Whereas to effect adequate con
troll of the flood waters Of the Mis-
souri, river, and as a means to-
ward control of the flood waters
of the Mississippi river, it is es-
sential that the annual spring
floods, which originate from melt
ing snow in the headwaters of
the Mississippi river, shall be
controlled at or near their sour
GEES; and
Whereas the Riker spillway
calls for the construction of a
master dam across the Missouri
River above Bismarck, North Da-
kota, is now before the Congress
and would effect such a result;
and
Whereas the Clarks Fork OF
the Yellowstone river in Wyom-
ing, just below the Montana state
line, affords a location for a dam
which. if constructed, would con
troll a large part of the flood wa.
ters which now ravage the valley
of the Yellowstone river, and in
crease the flood control capacity
of the master dam aforesaid; and
Whereas such Clarks Fork dam
could also be utilized for purposes
of power and irrigation: There
fore be is resolved
The remainder of the act auth
orizes the secretary of the Inter
ior to make engineering investl-
cations. surveys, borings and es-
Inmates of the cost of a dam on
Clark's Fork at a point eight
miles south of the Wyomlng-Mon-
tana line and report the result OF
the findings to Congress within
