October 11, 1991
Haitians set up barricades in the capital city of Port-Au-Prince
September 30 in response to a military coup against the government of
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Hundreds of Haitians living in Miami took to the streets to condemn the
coup. Several thousand rallied outside the United Nations building in
New York, calling on the UN Security Council to denounce the coup. In
Haiti, at least 26 people were reported killed and 200 wounded by the
military.
Aristide won the presidency by a landslide vote last December, in what
most Haitians regarded as the first freely conducted election in decades.
Washington backed the brutal reign of the Duvalier family that took
power in 1957. The dictatorship was overthrown in 1986 through a massive
upsurge.

NEW YORK — Immediately after the Sept. 29 fire-bombing of the
headquarters of the Socialist Workers Party, Judy White, SWP candidate
for governor, told newsmen:
“If the right-wing terrorists think they can intimidate us by such
tactics, they are mistaken. We intend to continue our opposition to the
American intervention in Vietnam and our opposition to Johnson’s
escalation of the war. We will continue to demand the immediate
withdrawal of U.S. troops.
“We appeal to all opponents of the war in Vietnam to rally with
expressions of solidarity against the pattern of violence being used in
hope of silencing opposition to Johnson’s drive toward war.
“Answer the terrorists by closing ranks.”

BAYONNE, N.J. — 1500 workers of the Maiden Form Brassiere factory,
members of Local 160 of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union,
went out on strike here last week.
The strike came after many efforts by the shop negotiating committee to
obtain an improved contract had been stalled by the employers. The
employers had received assistance from the bureaucratic representatives
of the national office of the ILGWU, who were proposing to sign a
contract behind the backs of the workers involved.
The strike, supported unanimously by the workers in the plant, has not
been authorized by the ILGWU. The questions of local autonomy and union
democracy have become as prominent in the strike as the problem of wage
increases and improved conditions.
