ANDRONNIKOV, as member of

ever out of meetings and confer
cnces. And Bertenyev was becoming
more and more deeply absorbed in
the work of the Cheka. From the
Moscow Soviet Building. Andronni-
kov moved to the Rozhdestvensky
Boulevard, to the house occupied by
the workers of the City District,
mostly printers. And Bertenyev
moved to Lubianka, No. H. into
one of the most remote and secret
rooms, which at once became clut-
tered up with little cases, boxes of
cartridges, parts Of automatic re-
volvers, Japanese carbines, rifles,
etc.
This, however, did not interfere
with the friendship between Berte-
nyev and Andronnikov. But there
was no way to express this friend
ship-not even in conversations.
kNeither Of them had time for talk
wing.
Once, in the days of the Czecho-
slovakian offensive, they met at the
conference of responsible workers"
in the White Hall Of the Moscow
Soviet.
Andronnikov was summoned to
the N.-regiment, as representa-
tive of the Party Committee. Some
thing wrong was brewing in the
regiment.
"Let's go together; I have car"
suggested Bertenyev.
So they went.
In the spacious meeting-room, per
meated with an atmosphere Of
dampness, there reigned the indes-
cribable noise and clamor Of many
voices, above which could scarcely
be heard, from the tribune. the
cracked, almost falsetto voice of

STRIKE BATTLES
Colombia Sends More
Troops in Terrorism

BOGOTA, Colombia, April 5. -
Clashes between workers and troops
engaged in terrorizing the banana
zone of Colombia are reported from
Santa Mara province this week. The
province was the scene of the recent
heroic strike by Colombian workers
on the banana plantations who re-
sisted the open warfare of govern
ment troops.
It is believed that another strike
will occur shortly and the minister
of war, Ignacio Rengifo, today an
nounced the dispatch of 500 more
troops from Cienega in Magdalena
province to Santa Marta.
Conditions on the banana planta-
tions are so barbarous that it is i'm
possible to keep the workers sup
pressed except by armed troops.
Prosecutions on the plantations
have been going on since the strike.
Many of the leaders are still in Jail.
