SOLIDARITY OF LATIN
WORKERS WINS OUT

An example of what may be ac-
complished by the unity movement
of Latin American trade unions is
seen in the unity attained by the
provisional committee now organic
ing the Latin American Trade
Union Confederation, in regard to
the recent strike of marine work
ers in Argentina, Uruguay and
Paraguay.
The strike was provoked by the
Argentine Navigation Company
owned by Nicholas Mihanovich, Linn
tied, which, with steamers connect
ing with Uruguay and Paraguay,
involved workers there in a splendid
united front against the company
and the various governments.
Four years ago the Argentine
Marine Workers Federation fought
losing fight against the company,
which penalized and prosecuted the
militants and slashed wages and
hours. With spies and scabs the
least whisper of organization was
instantly smothered out. The union,

League Saves Face by
Calling Wilma Matter
Ended; Fight Goes On

LUCIANO (By MaiD.-In session
Of the League of Nations Council
the Polish Lithuanian conflict was
again discussed. The representative
of the League declared, as he had
declared on many occasions before,
that peace" had been established be-
tween Poland and Lithuania and
this made possible the solution of
the other outstanding questions be-
tween the two countries, including
the transport question.
The transport technical COM
mission of the League was then in
structed to consider tactic a
measures for regulating the out
standing transport questions between
the two states in order thus to give
some appearance of reality to The au-
thority of the League.
Voldemaras, the Lithuanian repre-
sentative, made a number of reserva-
tons and sharply attacked the
League declaring that the League
had suffered two moral defeats, one
in the Wilma question and the other
in the minorities question. The re-
port of the League was finally
adopted.

(By a Worker Correspondent

(By q Worker Correspondent
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, (By Mail)
I had the following conversation
with a Negro worker here:
"Say, Mr.. Lou, can't you give me
a job?"
"Why, Jack, I thought you were
working for Mr.. Higgins"
81 was, Mr.. Lou, but I only made
$3.50 last week"
"But Jack, saw you hanging
around there all week, didn't L?
"See, its like this, Mr.. Lou, we
have to hang around, but Mr.. Hig-
gins only pays us for what we do,
that is, when we are working. But
we've got to be there all the time in
case he needs US.
"Well, don't you get paid from the
time you report for work?
"No, sir-just when we work-if
we work in daytime he gives us 20
cents an hour, and at night he pays
80 cents"
"Of course he gives you your
meals?"
"No, sir, Mr.. Lou, and that's why
| came to you. | haven't had no
work for two days, and 1 am
hungry"

says: Moses, if you don't vote the

needn't come back here for any
more work."
"You white men are certainly
strange creatures"
"Well, listen Moses, let me tell
you what to do. & You vote for the
Workers Party candidate. The
Workers (Commlnist) Party is the
only Party that's working for the
interest of the workers, regardless
of their color. There is no discrim-
nation against the Negro. Here,
take this card; it has a list of the
names of our candidates. You put
your cross in front of their names
on your ballot and you'll make no

Seipel Government of
Austria Passes More
Arms to Horthy Govt

VIENNA (By MaiD.--During the
unloading of packing cases of goods
in the Vienna Danube Docks it was
noticed that the goods" were ma
chine-gun parts. The consignment
was destined for Budapest. The
loading papers described the con-
signment as "crude oil motors" The
sender was recorded as a Vienna
engineering firm. Upon inquiries,
however, this firm declared that its
name had been misused and it knew
nothing about the consignment in
question.
The authorities either maintain
silence or attempt to minimize the
significance of the affair. All signs
point to another consignment from
Italy. similar to the famous st. Got
thard case, when with the silent ap-
prevail OF the Seipel government war
material was transported through
Austria to Hungary.

heroic general, Charlemagne Peralte,
crucified on a tree, and of Benoit
Batraville, cut in pieces. These
atrocities were committed on October
"a, 1918, at the town of Mirabaiais,
ITO miles from Port-au-Prince, by
U. S. Colonel Hooker and a band of
Yankee marines, using machine
guns, gas bombs, airplanes and so
forth, to destroy the Haitian people.
War On U. S. Justified.
"We are sure that the American
people do not know all these things
that are occurring in Haiti. But we
state that if Haiti were able to
equip forces to fight against Ameri-
can Imperialism, it would be fully
justified as measure of defense.
"If the predatory campaign of
Wall Street in Haiti and Latin
America is not resisted with every
power at hand, a naval base will be
built at the Mole st. Nicolas to
furnish additional military an d
naval base from which to carry
on rapacious attacks against all
Southern republics, as well as to pre-
pare for another imperialist war for
the redivision of the world, but
always with the aim of exploiting
the small nations and expressing the
darker races"

themselves, especially since the Ne
groes are not freeholders.
AS an alternative, the Negro chill
dren could attend school seven miles
away in an adjoining county, where
an occasional makeshift school is
kept" for Negro children. This al
Tentative was tried until the teacher
Ct the school refused to teach them
any longer because they were non
residents of the county.
Law is Null.
1t therefore happens that in that
district, as in many others, the Ne
gro children are denied free school
opportunities, although this is in
violation of the law. In this and
other instances the whites are will
ing to lose the funds fol- feitahle by
noncompliance of the law. They
regard such loss as a real gain
since they derive great satisfaction
from the fact that they prevent the
Negro from securing an education.
Due to race hatred, discrimination
and segregation, a group of Negro
children are literally growing up in
ignorance in Missouri, and there are
hundreds and thousands in the same
situation. To make the racial dis
examination of the case moro eno-
rhatic. it is reported that in an ad.

CORPORATION INSIDERS
HIDE, STEAL PROFITS
(By Federated Press)

At the turn of the year corpora
tions are beginning to publish bal
ance sheets, showing profits for the
year 1928. A revelation on how
companies conceal the truth about
profits, larger than are reported,
comes Unexpectedly in Wall Street
Journal article called Subsidiary
Profits Often Unreported."
Stockholders are deceived, the ar
ticle charges, by the simple method
of setting up inventory and other
reserves against certain assets. The
object is to minimize the actual
strength and earning power of the
company. The corporation invests
good part of it's surplus, but does
not tell the stockholders the value
of such Investments.
Pile Up Reserves.
"But perhaps the most common
way of concealing profits" the ar
ticle continues, sis through owning
another company outright or nearly
outright, yet including in the state
ments of income only the dividends
actually paid by the owned COM
panies. Sometimes these subsidiary
earnings are allowed to pile up for
years, not a dollar of them showing
in the parent company's income ac-
count or balance sheet. Meanwhile
the stakeholder fondly believes that
the pamphlet report reaching him
once a year tells what his company
is really doing and earning"

The Mihanovich company, tn,
strongest and most anti-labor O.
any of the La Plate region, sensec
the union growth and gathering
provocateurs and scabs, sought t.
force premature struggle on the
union. The captain of the "Bruse

his office is loyal to the workers
union, was among those called tt
the Mihanovich office.
"Tell us. In case of a conflict

Villalba was reinstated.
But, Fastening preparations, Mi
hanovich a week later, fired the
whole crew of two ships, the "Bruse-

Discrimination Rife IN
the Schools of Missouri

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (By MaiD.-
Missouri is guilty of great discrim-
nation and segregation to Negroes
in the educational system of that
state" declares N. B. Young, in
;pectcr in the Negro schools of Mis-
;ouri, although Negro children
lave as great claim upon Missouri
IS have the white children"
During recent survey of Negro
'ducation in the state of Missouri
e encountered situations in one
chool district that are typical of all
Their districts in the state. In re-
ponse to call from this district,
e visited it and found that there
ad been no public school for Negro
hildren there for great many
ears, although there had been more
ian enough Negro children there,
lder the law. Yet, contrary to the
Nv, a school was denied them be-
ause the white residents of the dis
Tict refused to recognize the ercc-
on Of the building.
Whites Refuse Negro School.
The conference with the dominant
embers Of the board brought out
e liberal opinion that it would be
simpler solution of the situation
T the Negro families to move to
'trict where school facilities are
eady provided for Negroes than
the white people Of the district
npose additional taxes upon
