These statements were taken from

from weakness, their own life and that

BOGOTA, Colombia, Dec. 10
The workers in the banana planta-
tions of the United Fruit Company
in Magdalene province, Colombia,
continue to offer determined resist
ance to the military forces and are
reported to be organizing their ranks
in the interior to resist the attack
of the federal troops under General
Cortes Vargas.
The Colombian government con-
tinued today ito follow the dictates
of the United Fruit Company and
concentrated more military forces in
the banana zone. Vargas char
acterized the strikers as "a band of
bad men" and declared that they
would be treated as such. Taken to-
gether with the statement of min
lister of war Rengifo that "the gov
ernment will suffoeate this rebellion
with an iron hand" it is a certainty
that the Colombian puppets of U.
S. businessmen will not stop at any
thing to break the strike and will
give no quarter to the revolutionary
workers.
Socialists Aid Imperialists.
The Socialists" continue in their
policy of finding excuses for the ac-
tion of the government and even
went so far today as declaring in
their organ, Diaro Nacional, that it
was the governments duty to pro-
tect foreigners, meaning United
States capitalists. The complete de-
bacle of the socialists" was further
carried out when their central COM
mittee today offered to send two
delegates to the strike area to urge
the workers to give up the struggle
and submit to the will of the govern
ment and the fruit company.
In the meantime the strikers are
putting up determined resistance
to the soldiers sent against them.
The war department, which is very
hazy about the information it re-
leases, admitted that the workers
had engaged in three battles with
the military, putting up a sturdy
fight. The revolutionary worker,

of the leaders of the strike, is said
to have led an attack against de-

By DAN SLINGER.

ers' Union.)
BELLEVILLE, H., Dec TO-
Harry Fishwick, the president Of
District IL of the United Mine
Workers of America, what is left
of it, arrived here Friday night with
a bodyguard of six gunmen to make
speech in favor of still more wage
cuts. He argues that the miners OF
Illinois must have their wages re-
duced to the same level as that pre-
vailing south of the Ohio river, be-
cause "mine owners of Illinois are
in competition with those of Ken
lucky" and of course, now that the
u. M. w. A. is almost openly a
company union, it has to look out
for the profit of its own operators.
Evidently the operators no lon
ger feel that the present exposed
and discredited U. M. W. A. is as
useful as it was in the days Of Dis
trict President Frank Harrington
and the $4,000 a year bribe which
harrington got from the Peabody
Coal Co., at least they do not ap-
pear to be paying up as well. 1t
is an open secret that District II
is bankrupt, and is trying to mort
gage the famous Illinois Miners
Building, a skyscraper. in Spring
field, for $200,000. The Lewis In
ternational administration is re-
ported to be trying to borrow $780,
600 of this from District IL. The
looting of the miners by way of
special assessments is not working
out the way it used to, and the
last 50 assessment tax had to be
reduced to 81 to avoid a mass in
surrection of the rank and file.
Resistance to the Lewis-F -Fishwick-
U. M. w. A. crowd is rising all
over the district. There are strikes
everywhere, especially in Makomis,
West Frankfort, Buckner, Wasan,
Du Onoin and Belleville, and the
Fishwick tactics in case of a strike
are to dissolve the local going on
strike, reorganlze it, and take over
its treasury. The Nakomis local,
1000 members, lost $4,000 this way.
The miners of Peoria subdistrict
recently elected a committee to in
vestigate the stealing of votes in
the referendum election to accept
the wage cut proposed by Fishwick
and the operators, for the whole
district, on the orders of Lewis.
They have found that there are
enough local unions sending in their
votes, with seals attached, to show
that the miners voted 3 to l against
the wage cut agreement, and that
the tellers with consent Of the dis
trict board miscounted the votes, to
make it appear that the wage cut
was accepted.
With clear evidence of this in

BIC CLOAK RALLY
IN COOPER UNION
Rally Tomorrow Is on
Pogrom Anniversary

Cooper Union, the big hall at
Eighth st. and Fourth Ave-, has
been retained by the left wing Joint
Board, Cloak and Dressmakers'
Union for a meeting of shop repre-
sentatives and active members, to
commemorate the ending of two
years since the socialist" mislead-
ers and their boss allies first began
the expulsion drive that resulted in
smashing the once powerful union
of the workers in the ladies' gar
ment manufacturing industry. The
meeting will be held this Thursday
evening, Immediately after work.
To Pledge Struggle.
At this meeting the pledge to fur
ther struggle against the enemies
and betrayers of the cloak and
dressmakers will be taken by the
meeting in order that a mighty
union of needle trades workers be
again built, and which will again
force the employers to grant union
conditions.
Leaders of the Joint Board and
of the National Organization Com
mittee will report on the organiza
tional preparations being made for
the convention OF the union, which
begins Dec. 20 in New York. The
two other most vital problems be-
fore these workers will also be TAX
en- up for further discussion and re-
ports. These are the contemplated
general strike in the dress manufac-
turing industry and the amalgama-
ton of the cloak and dressmakers'
union with that of the fur workers
organization.
Organizational plans for the pro-
posed and ratified merger with the
furriers' union are all but ready to
be executed. But leaders of both
organizations still intend to clarity
the minds of the most backward
workers who do not see the imme-
diate gains from such step. Near
ly every member of the union en-
dorses amalgamation but an insig-
nificant few think it not advisable
at this time. The furriers will hold
a national convention at the same
time.
Need for a general strike in the
dress trade is now realized by all.
This trade is least organized of the
industry and the workers in it,
mostly youthful, are suffering the
most intense exploitation.
