5000 FURRIERS
DEMAND union
Denounce Wreckers Of
Organization

Thunderous applause from 5000 fur
workers who crowded Cooper Union
last night greeted the declaration of
Ben Gold, manager, Joint Board Of
the Furriers' Union: "When the bosses
and the right wing entered into a
pact to destroy the furriers' union,
and drive out of existence the mill
tant leadership, they did not reckon
with the tenacity, endurance, and self
sacrifice of the left wing and the
Communists. They apparently forgot
about the devotion and resourceful-
ness of the left wing in the 1926 gen
eral strike"
Peace Moves.
The most important aspect of the
meeting was Colds statement that as
a result of rumors of peace maneuvers
by certain right wing elements in the
dual union established by the A. F.
of L., and their inclination for united
action to establish one union in the
industry-that as a result of this
1.-THE Jewish Forward" will undoubt-
edly soon begin an attack against
these elements by calling them "Com-
munist agents"
Gold told the workers that if they
are eager to rebuild union so that
the coming season should not be
ruined, and that if they don't want to
suffer go per cent wage cuts as most
employers are planning to institute,
then they should rally around the
Joint Board. He said that the "first
signs of resistance displayed by the
workers would result in the immediate

Sugar Trust President
of Cuba Asks for It

HAVANA, Feb. 1.-Creation Of
special labor bureaus in the Pan
American USion which worla handle
all matters pertaining to labor prob
lens arising in the Americas and
coming before the Union for adjuca-
tion, was proposed today by the Cub
an delegation on the first commission
of the sixth Pan-American conference
here. Cuba is dominated by Presi-
dent Machado, practically an agent
of American sugar and banking cor
porations.
The Mexican and some other dele
gates indicated they would oppose
the proposal, on the grounds that Gre
alton of such bureaus would give the
Union political powers.
Debate and final action on the pro-
posal were deferred until later sit
ting of the commission.
Unofficial hints that Canada might
join the Pan American Union have
been discussed here by delegates and
newspaper men. They were first
dropped by the Havana correspond
ent of the Canadian Press" Dele
gates of Argentina, Brazil and Chile,
and other countries, were very favor
able to the proposal.
1t is considered here by represen-
tatives of South and Central America
that even though this move may in
dicate the growing dominance of U.
S. over Canada, still representative
of the British Empire in the Pan
American Congress might divide the
power of imperialism.

MEMORIAL MEET
ON FRIDAY NIGHT
49,
Liebknecht Meeting to
Fight War Danger

A high point in an intensified cam
paign of the New York district of the
Young Workers (Communist) League
against the danger of war will be a
large Liebknecht mass meeting at the
Labor Temple, 14th st. and Second
Ave-, tomorrow night at o'clock.
John Williamson, district organizer
of the League, said that the meeting
would be especially timely in view of
news from Washington as to the new
army budget of $399, 100000 and in
creased preparations for war seen in
large appropriations for military
planes.
Meeting Is Timely. ~
The meeting is being held to COM
memorate thes death offKarl Lieb-
knecht and Rosa Lsxemburg, mur-
dered in Berlin eight years ago by
cavalry officers.
The Young Workers League is car
rying on fight in support of Gen.
eral Sandino in Nicaragua against
American Intervention there. This
campaign of the League which was
marked by lecent demonstration in
front of the Brooklyn navy yards, will
be given further strength by the Fri
day meeting. Plans have been made
to admit soldiers, sailors and marines
free.
Liebknecht Fought War.
The meeting also will draw valua-
BILE lessons from the life of Lieb-
knecht, who consistently fought and
organized against war, Williamson
said. The young workers present will
remember Liebknecht as leader of
the youth who organized the opposi-
tion to the last war long before its
outbreak, he added.
Speakers will include William w.
Weinstone, secretary of District 2,
Workers (Communist) Party; Leon
Plott of the Young Workers League,
and Carl Weisberg. The program will
include play called "The R. 0. T.
c." and several individual dancers.

SANDING ENDED PROFITS
Nine O,Oey Tells OF HIS Clash with Nica,ag4an Leader

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. L.
The Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee has made public the complaint
of one Charles Buffers, capitalist and
holder Of a mining claim in Nicara-
qua, that General Sandino seized the
mine at which he was formerly en-
ployed as mine worker, by Buffers,
and used it as base of supplies for
his army of independence.
Buffers story is that he was rum
ming a mine in Nuevo Segovia, when
a man named Augustine G. Sandino,

of Henry L. Stimson, the personal
representative Of President Coolidge,
Sandino did not surrender, but re-
turned to the north with sixty other
workers, well armed and with new
saddles and mules, and took from the
mine ten cases of dynamite, with
fuses and caps, to use in making hand
grenades. They had Lewis and
Thompson machine guns they had
taken from U. S. marines. That was
in May, 1927. In June, Sandino, hav-

FALL RIVER STOP
STRIKE vOTING C
New Bedford Owners to
Allot More Looms

FALL RIVER, Feb. mo further
strike vote will be taken, is the an
nouncement made by the Fall River
Textile Councils Officialdom in spite
of resolutions passed by several af-
filiated organizations calling for a
recount of the votes. The Council had
previously taken a ballot which it de-
clares is IL votes short of the neces-
sary total.
In considering a resolution passed
by meeting Of the American Fede-
ration of Textile Operatives, the Tex
tile Council made public its decision
that they would not permit vote to
be taken on the 10 per cent wage re-
duction. In the discussion at the
meetings of the various unions on
this question, it was charged that il
addition to announcing that two
thirds majority would be required be-
fore a strike was to be called, the
Textile Council had not kept the polls
open long enough to allow the union
members sufficient time to register
their opinion.
Dissatisfaction General.
In the meantime the four mills that
were struck several days ago are still
completely shut down. The situation
here shows that the union officials
have by no means said the last word
on the wage cut question. The wide
spread dissatisfaction expressed by
the workers at the behavior of the
leading officials of the United Tex
tile Workers, may yet lead to a
tremendous strike wave, as about 3d.

came, with a reference, and got a
job. He noticed that Sandino wore
a khaki suit with leggings, and found
out after while that he was organ

according to Buffers, Sandino and
some of the men were armed with

No Initiation Fee, Dues.
Simultaneously, an offer of admis.
sion without payment of initiation fee
to the Party was made to all unem-
ployed workers. No dues need be paid
until work is obtained once more.
The complete text follows:
The Leaflet.
Once more the working class of
America is faced with the menac-
ing reality of unemployment on a
large scale. Once more the streets of
the "most prosperous" country in the
world resound with the echo of tramp
ing feet of hundreds of thousands of
workers in search of jobs. But jobs
are not to be found.
Hunger and starvation, cold and
misery, are again making their ap-
pearance in thousands of working
class families. While Coolidge and
Hoover are prattling about prosper
ity, about two million workers are
totally denied the opportunity to earn
living and many more millions are
employed only part time.
Employment at present is about Is
per cent lower than in 1928. 1t is
already lower than in the depression
of 1924 when about two million work
ers were out of work. AS compared
with the last months of 1926, employ
mept decreased nine per cent in brick
and tile, seventeen per cent in cast

Expect Agreement Today to
Pay Half Cost.

Possibility doomed today that an
agreement may be reached with the
State of Kentucky whereby it would
pay half of the cost of the proposed
100000 bridge across the Ohio
River at Evansville.
This was discussed today at a
conference Of the Kentucky and In
diana highway commissions here
today, it was learned. The confer
ence ended at l p. m. and the Ken
lucky commissioners were to return
to their State this afternoon. The
only information which could be
obtained of the result of the confab
was given in a written statement
which said:
I'VE have had a pleasant and sat
isfactory conference. but there has
been no final agreement made"
Governor Elem D. Sampson Of
Kentucky was to have attended,
but did not. Governor Jackson, who
some weeks ago was named a
colonel on the Kentucky Governors
staff, attended.
Under the present Indiana law
providing for the bridge, the cost
is to be assessed one-fourth against
Vanderburg County, to be paid
through a bond issue; one-fourth
against the State general fund, and
the remaining half by the highway
fund. Vanderburgh County and the
general fund will be reimbursed
through tolls.
