The long standing conflict of the

American-owned South American
Development Company, which for 30
years expoited the gold mines OF
Ecuador without paying anything to
that country, was settled recently.
The controversy referred to the
validity of the contracts and con-
cessions of the South American De-

Constitutional Assembly decided
that the contracts are valid but that
the company is not exempt from
paying taxes on the sales and the

JERSEY CITY, N. j. (By MaiI J.
There are over 10000 packing
house workers in Hudson County, of
which Jersey City is the chief city,
and they are absolutely unorganized
into any kind Of union at all. The
slaves in these packing houses are
forced to work over IL hours a day
for wages ranging from $18 to 500.
A great proportion of the slaves in
the New Jersey packing houses are
Negroes.
Among the largest of the packing
plants in this city are Swifrs, Ar
mours, Nagles and other large con-
Germs. Take the Maggie, Swift and
Armour plants, for instance, located
along the Hudson River waterfront.
Wondering on Hoboken.
\ The conditions there are terrible.
There are no safety precautions, no
protection at all for the workers in
these packing plants. Every worker
