Solidarity Dance in
Harlem to Be Most
COlOrful of the Year

The preparations under way at
present indicate that the Harlem
Revels Solidarity Demonstration
dance on Jan. % at the Renaissance
Casino will be one of the biggest,
merriest affairs ever held in Har-
lem. Under the joint auspices Of
the Negro Champion and the Ameri-
can Negro Labor Congress, no pains
are being spared to make this one
Of the most colorful affairs ever
held in the community.
A statement issued yesterday by
the committee in charge Of arrange
ments declares:
"This Solidarity Demonstration
Dance will give concrete expression
to the breaking down of racial
barriers by the workers. While the
race-baiting, labor grinding op-
pressors form their fake inter-racial
committees through which they
scheme to blind and bind their slaves
of all races, the enlightened mill
tant class-conscious workers are ac-
tually realizing inter-racial labor
solidarity through their common
struggle for better conditions and
for complete emancipation"

strike against the firm.
This company has an agreement
with the Independent Shoe Work
ers' Union, and in making up the
new price list they broke the con-
tract they entered into with the
workers organization.
The immediate retaliation with
strike action, was accompanied by
declarations Of every man employed
there that they will keep the plant
paraiyzed till they compel The boss
to give in to the union, just as they
had compelled surrender when the
union agreement was first signed.
The Joint Council Of the Union at
session last night, took up the
situation in the shop and after the
meeting placed their official stamp
of approval on the prompt strike
reply made by the crew.
"The move to cut wages is a def
mite gesture for the open SHOP in
that factory" the union heads de-
clared. "But not an oper, but a
tightly shut down plant Is what the
bosses have let themselves in for
when they challenge the union," the
union spokesman said.

INDIANS FIGHT
ECUADOR TROOPS
5000 in Revolt in the
Chinborazo Province

GUAYAQUIL, Ecudar, Jan. ID
Indians in revolt against the gov
eminent clashed with federal troops
at Cajahamba and Gotta, in Chimbo-
razo province according to reports
received here today.
Approximately 5000 Indians took
part in the revolt. which began Sat-
urdav. There were 30 casualties in
the fighting between troops and the
Indians, it was said authoritatively
today.
The reason for the revolt--similar
to the one which recently occurred
at Riobamba, capital of the province,
which lies a few miles away-was
attributed to the presence OF mill
tary surveyors whom the Indians
mistook to be tax collectors or land
owners, who carry on cruel extor-
tons.
The Indians were said to have
been driven to the heights known
as Paramos, which are near GAIA
banda.
