Bogota Riot,
i Coal Strike
Discussed
by Ruth Lenkoski
Last Friday Bogota, Colombia, was
the scene of a chaotic demonstration
of International recognition and con
cern. It all started with the assas-
ination of Gaitan, the leader of the
Liberal Party in that country. Then
came the explosion of mob action
which succeeded in causing millions
of loss to the city. The Liberals,
mostly uuderjirivileged citizens, be
gan the rioting and were shortly
followed by the Communists who
. were encouraged by radio to join
in the strife. Three hundred people
were killed, several buildings were
gutted, and many buildings were
looted. The city is still crippled and
suffering from a food shortage.
On Saturday President Perez, a
Conservative, acted swiftly and had
■sworn into his calunet seven Liber
als and six Conservatives forming a
new coalition regime. The Govern
ment took over the military forces
and the city h:ia been quieted with
only a few snipers scattered about.
The causes of the demonstration
are not completely known. It is pos
sible that the Pan-American Confer
ence, which is not completely wel
come in that city, may have been
^ instrumental. Tlie American dele
gates, including Marshall, were ,not,
however, injured. One sure cause
is the political split which has ex
isted between the two parties. The
common cause which lias been cap
italized is the Communist movement
in tlie country. Colombiii has al
ready dissolved relationships with
Russia. This last cause would be
expected considering the world to
day. Even ifarshall said that Bo
gota is not merely a local incident
but one of international importance,
cepting the Communist cause though
because there may be a Fifth Column
We may l)e playing along by ac-
working. Enough information is not
at hand to give any definite an
swers.
Lewis has finally sent the soft
coal miners back to work. The
miners may be reluctant to obey this
long awaited order because they only
get a com])romise on the pension
plan. The agreement is that one
hundred dollars a month will be
paid after sixty two years of age
and twenty years of work to all
miners who retired after May 29,
1946. Lewis meant for all retired
miners to receive the pension. Many
operators are not satisfied and may
ask for an investigation of the leg
ality of the agreement.
Meanwhile Ijowis and the U.
W. are faced with a charge of con-
, tempt of court because they failed
to com[>ly immediately with the in-
juntion which ordered Lewis to send
the miners back to work. Conse
quently the T. niay be highly
finod and even Lewis may be faced^
• with a prison term.
