WORKERS IN CHINA ORGANIZE AS
 INDUSTRY GROWS
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 2.-Trade unionism is growing fast in China, according to J. B. Taylor, acting pres ident of Picking University, and w. T. Zung, Y. w. C. A. worker in China, in writing Labor and Industry in China in the International Labor Review.
 Prior to the new industrial develop ment which is changing life in China, the guilds, say the authors, exerted a powerful influence, but the develop ment of modern industry has been great stimulus in the growth of trade union organization. The guilds in the more wealthy industries have tended to become employers organizations.
 The growth of the unions has been rapid and there are now more than so labor unions in Shanghai alone The first national labor conference met in Canton in 1922. The article adds:
 About 16o delegates from Ia cities, representing over 100000 workers in some 200 unions, were assembled Ten resolutions were passed, of which the most important were that all the unions should pledge one another fi- nancia1 support in the case of strikes; that unions should stand for an T. hour day; that the labor movement should be economic in character rath- CT than political; and that the consti- tuition and organization of perman- ent national federation of labor should be proceeded with, including plans for the second national labor conference (Nationa1 Labor Assem- bly)."
 Telling of how Chinese industry is changing, the article says that "the changes we have come to associate with the introduction of modern methods of industry are taking place with rapidly growing momentum, and some of the social problems con nected with the transition are appear ing in an acute form" Should this Standardization continue "the mum Der and character of her people and the extent and variety of her re sources make it inevitable that China will become one of the dominant fac tors in the worlds industry" So great has been the change that five years ago, even three years ago, 1t would have been a misnomr to have spoken of the labor situation in China in the
 modern sense of that term, but de- velopments are taking place with dra- matte rapidity, and fl is generally ad.

according to a reprint sent out by the
press service Of the National AssociaI

lows,
l&sSSs.-
THE NATION MUST PUNISH
LYNCHERS.
When the miners tried for the MUIR
der at Herrin were acquitted the 9TH
er day their lawyer commented that
the mine guards had terrorized the
community and the strikers rose in
righteous wrath. He gave the blanket
excuse that is given for every mob
that kills. Murder under any name.
done for any excuse, is the same. Muir
der is murder regardless of who the
murderers are and of who their vic
Tins are. This means mobs as nluci
as individuals.
A mob in Harrison, Arkansas kills a
railroad striker. That is murder,
though the killers think themselves

Louisiana tortures two men in cot.
ton press end kills them. That is mur-
der though the murders wear silly re
gala and call themselves iligh-spirit.-
ed patriots and Heaven knows what
else.
Our commonest type of mob murder.
is called lynching. But Harrison, Mo-
Rouge. Herrin the burnings of Negro
es at the stake. are all off the same
piece. Call them murders and have
done with it.
1t is almost n foregone conclusion
that members of numbering mob in
small community will be acquitted
as were the Herrin miners The defend
ants have much local sympathy. \
jury that would convict can scarcely
he had. A loc"l prosecutor who will do
his duty whole-heartedly must be ore
ot singular courage and integrity.
If we hope to stop mob murders ami
punish the murderers, we shall have
to act as a nation. There will have to
be Federal law so drawn as to cov-
er mob murders of all types, and %
provide that cases resulting shall be-
for Federal prosecution in Federal
courts.
