The annual report of 1t. Col, R. P.
Howell, y. S. Engineer for the Will
mington district shows that the War
Department has already expended
nearly $12,OOO,OOO on the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal and proposes to
spend another $1,OOO,OOO, during the
year ending June 80, 1880. This vast
amount of money was spent in the
purchase of the canal from its private
owners, reconstruction from barge
lock canal to a sea-level canal with a
depth of 12-foot at low tide and main
tenance. Reconstruction of the canal
is now virtually 100 per cent complet-
ed.

SHOE WORKERS
WIN BIG STRIKE
Gain Brooklyn Victory
in 7-Week Struggle

The workers of the Radcliffe
Shoe Company, 235 Park Ave,
Brooklyn, after seven weeks of
militant strike, yesterday succeeded
in breaking down the resistance of
the shoe bosses and gaining sig
nal victory for the Independent Shoe
TTc'''-c--'5 tJlign.
When the 65 workers employed in
the factory we've locked out by the
bosses seven weeks ago a permanent
injunction was secured against
them. In spite of this, however, the
workers continued their picketing
activities, facing the combined at
tacks of police ard hired scabs and
gangsters of the company. Arrests
we're frequent, but the strikers con-
tinued picketing until their victory
was assured yesterday.
| The company now agrees to union
recognition, the 44-hour week and a
substantial wage increase. Under
/ the settlement a stipulation has
been made that a definite wage
scale will be made by the union after
March 1, 1880.

With delegates being elected this
week from every industry in Greater
New York, the success of the City
Nominating Convention of the New
York District of the Communist
Party is assured. Commencing at
10 this Sunday morning, the conven-
ton will be held at Irving Plaza
Hall, Irving place and 18th street.
The great gathering will throb
with the same spirit of militant
working class solidarity which has
marked the bitterly-fought strikes
of food, shoe and needle trades work
ers throughout New York. These
workers, who in their fight against
long hours, low wages and nerve
wracking speed-up have found that
the Communist Party is the only po-
litical party which has consistently
fought for their interests against
the conscious sabotage of the re-
publican, democratic and socialist
parties, will be among those who are
expected to follow the leadership of
| the Communist Party or the politi-
cal field.

Solidarity and Treason.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July s.
Solidarity and treason to the strik-
ing carmen both developed among
the other labor organizations in New
Orleans yesterday. The solidarity
came from several unions which met
and denounced the Public Service Co.
for importing strikebreakers. The
members of the building trades
unions forced their delegates to the
building trades council to hold a
meeting and vote on the motion of a
sympathetic strike. After five
hour secret meeting, the council re-
fused to annuonce the result.
The open treachery came from
Dave Marcussy, president of the
Central Trades and Labor Council
when he wired through W. W.
Tuttle, Commissioner of Immigra-
ton a request to the Federal Depart
ment to mediate" and thus laid the
basis for another such betrayal OF
labor by it's reactionary officials and
