Chile BIDS FOR
LEAGUE SUPPORT
Latin American Gov'ts
Want Cooperation"

LUCIANO, Dec. 11.-Real devel-
opments have taken place outside of
the regular meeting of the League
of Nations Council at Lugano which
indicate that some maneuvers be-
tween British and United States i'm
perialism are taking place in Latin
America.
Delegates of Cuba, Chile and
Venezuela, represented on the Coun-
Gil, have visited Aristand BRAND
French foreign minister, secretly
At the close of the interview, al
though the Latin American repre-
sentatives refused to speak, BRAND
declared that the purpose of the
visit was to demand closer coopera-
ton between the, League of Ma
tions, meaning Britain and France,
with these governments.
The representatives stated that
their representation on the council
should be considered from the point
Of view of the role the Latin Amer
lean countries will play in the fu-
ture. They indicated that should
they receive the support of the
League, the Latin American coun-
tries would in turn offer their sup
port to Britain and France.
BRAND and Chamberlain are re-
ported to be surprised" at this
move, but it is generally believed
that the Latin American representa-
tives are making a bid for the sup
port of British imperialism. Closer
cooperation between the League of
Nations and Latin America could
only mean, it is said, the coopera-
ton of the South American puppets
with the British imperialists.
At the meeting of the council it
was admitted that n9 agreement be-
tween England and the United
States on naval questions seemed
likely and it was suggested that the
disarmament conference scheduled
for March be postponed to avoid
a too evident fiasco.

I MILL STRIKERSIS
CITED IN APPEAL
Meeting at Bryant Hall
Next Thursday

The following appeal has been
sent out by the Workers Interna-
tional Relief in connection with the
shop delegates conference which will
be held under its auspices at Bryant
Hall, And st. and Sixth Ave, on
Thursday, Dec. 20:
"To all shop and factory work
ers! Fellow workers:
During the past few years there
have been many militant struggles
OF the workers-the miners strike,
the furriers and garment workers.
the Passaic, New Bedford and Fall
4 River textile strikes. In all of these
great struggles against the open
H7shop drives of the bosses, against
the speed-up system, wage cuts and
inhuman conditions, the staunch
support of millions of workers
throughout the country has helped
to carry on the fight.
Workers Respond to Calls.
THE response to the appeal for
relief has been a splendid example
of working class solidarity. But
what happened after these strikes?
The relief committees disappeared.
They were organized on temporary
basis and lost after the issues were
over. In the struggles ahead to or
ganize the unorganized workers into
militant trade unions, in the fight
against company unions and the
bosses injunctions we must be bet
ter prepared to meet every call for
relief. The conflicts with the en-
ployers grow sharper every day.
4 The coming months will see more
| and fiercer attacks on the hard-won
gains of militant workers.
l "We must build a permanent re-
lief organization to respond to the
demands of the working class in
times of strike-lockout-and when
terrible catastrophes happen, like
flood or famine.
Steps have already been taken to
form permanent relief body. The
Timers Relief Committee and all
other existing temporary committees
have become part of the Workers
International. Relief. Workers In
ternational Relief has been in exist
ence for some years and is an inter-
national organization with branches
IN the leading countries of the world.
The Shop Delegate Executive Com
mittee elected by the last Shop Dele
gate Conference for Miners Relief
has also endorsed the w. I. R. In
order to do our work as part of the
W. I. R.. a Shop Delegate Confer
cnce will be held Thursday, Dec. 20,
, at Bryant Hall, 42nd st. and Sixth
Ave, right after work, at p. m.
Blacklist Militants.
Thousands of militant miners
and textile workers have been black
listed and unemployed on account of
their strike activity. The children
need food and clothes. Winter is
here and there is sickness and de-
rand for medical care. Our imme-
date task is to send relief to the
children of these workers and to
Paterson textile strikers.
every shop should be repre-
scented at this conference. Hold a
shop meeting-elect two delegates.
If you cannot have a special meet
ing for the purpose of electing dele
gates, send a committee of two or
three to act as delegates with the
consent of other workers in your
shop. If you work in an morgan
lied shop come yourself and bring
along a fellow worker.
Remember Thursday evening,
Dec. 20, at p. M, at Bryant Hall,
42nd st. and Sixth Ave-, right after
work."

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson & Mcl,innonl


NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-There is a.
great lesson in the action of the
National City bank, an institution.
large as it is, plans to provide itself
with more cash. There are two
things that are very easy for the
average man or woman. One is to
slide down an inclined plane, the
other is to be bullish in a rising
stock market. One of the most
difficult things is to keep just firm
ly on the ground and the head cool
when excitement is high and the
people enthused. Bankers, with their
usual foresight and financial judg-
ment, see a necessity to provide
themselves with more money. What
is good for them is good for the in
dividual. Provide yourself with
a larger cash reserve. 1t is imma-
terial whether the money be in the
bank or in the form of a greater
equity with your broker. The point
is to be prepared for an emergency.
Just as certain as the law of gravi-
tation is still a law, you will find
that in the end the greatest lasting
success in the market will be to the
credit of the conservative rather
than to the plunger. >
