NEGRO PORTERS
HOLD conference
Pledged Support in Case
of Strike

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-One of the
most important conferences ever held
in the United States in connection
with the organization of the Negro
workers has just come to an end in
this city. Called at the instance of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
ters to discuss the problems of the
Negro in general, the conference was
concerned chiefly with the issues cen
tering around the fight of the porters
against the Pullman company and
against discrimination by officials OF
white workers. unions.
Over three hundred delegates came
together at Egyptian Hall, 51st st.
and Michigan Ave. and listened to dis
cussions by John Fitzpatrick, presi-
dent of the Chicago Federation of
Labor
Refutes Fitzpatrick.
Considerable indignation was Gre
ated by Fitzpatrick's attempt to clear
the officials of the Chicago Fedora
tion from the charge held against
them by Negro workers that they at
one time assisted in breaking strike
of Negro walters.
Fitzpatrick was saved only by the
interruption of David w. johnson, a
delegate from the post office clerks.
Other speakers, however, pointed out
that whereas only small percentage
of white workers unions have clauses

PERU AIDS WALL
ST. AT HAVANA

HAVANA, Jan. 26.-Instead Of en-
pressing popular Latin-American
sentiment against United States In
tervention in Nicaragua, DIR. Victor
Maurtua, representative of the Liguia
dictatorship in Peru, in his report -
the Committee Of Public Internation-
al Law declared that Intervention
was permissible in certain cases.
That the United States position
would secure support from the rep
resentatives Of a number of Latin
American governments, influenced or
maintained by the United States, was
generally expected.
Maurtua's report came in the form
of an attack on the recommendations
for the modification of international
law, prepared by the Jurists' Confer
ence in Rio de Janiero last April.
The recommendation include an ar
ticle stating that 'no state may in

VI IIlS odIlh.
Dear Sir:
1t has come to our attention
through press accounts and through
mass meeting held Tuesday in Irv-
ing Plaza Hall that the Amalgamated
Bank is discriminating against en-
ployees of the bank who are active
union members, and that an employee,
Harry Rubin, was discharged because
he was shop chairman and in this
capacity fought for the maintenance
Of union conditions within the bank.
We also learn that the bank is main
tanning company union arrangement
regarding the membership of its en-
pioyees in the Bookkeepers, Steno-
graphers & Accountants Union.
AS depositor in the Anlalgamated
Bank as well as an organization repre-
sentative OF a section of the labor
movement, many of whose members
are depositors in the bank, we protest
against this condition which exists in
the Amalgamated Bank. Labor or
ganizations should be an example to
OIhSI OISdHlAdIlOilS III tlle zeal Will
which they protect the workers and
maintain union conditions. This is
not the case in the Amalgamated
Bank. Such conditions prevailing in
an organization that has been formed
by a labor union and claiming to
serve the labor movement only furn-
ishes club in the hands of the capi-
talist enemies with which to destroy
the trade unions.
We join in the protest voiced at
the mass meeting Tuesday and we
demand that the Amalgamated Bank
take immediate action by reinstate-
ment of the discharged worker and
the establishment of union conditions
in the bank.
Very truly yours,-(Signed William
