In Lynn the workers have been cor
rallied into the Boot and Shoe and
demands for cuts have been sub
mitted to the state board Of arbitra-

les a graded price list" has been in
troduced. This means that those
workers making the cheaper grades
of shoes are paid less than those en-
ployed on the high-prlced shoes.
The Old Bunk of Steady Work.
The bosses are appealing to the
workers to help them run their fac
tories steadily by accepting wage
cuts. Unemployment aids the boss
es in putting this bunk over, and the
union leaders are doing nothing to
Offset it
In this situation the National Com
mittee for Amalgamation IN the Shoe

leaflet calling on the shoe workers
to fight militantly against wage cuts.
This campaign, initiated by the Trade
Union Educational League National
Committee, has the endorsement of the
militants in the various shoe centers.
Following up the distribution of
thousands of these leaflets it is plan
ned to hold mass meetings in the
shoe centers, and rally the shoe work

to lead the struggles, and the ANAL
gamation of the many shoe unions.

ABOUT China
Capitalist Press Not to
Be Believed
BY ART SHIELDS

Federated Press star correspondent.l
NEW YORK, July 24.-(FP)--A
fighting piece Of labor journalism Is
the Shanghai Crisis which has crossed
the water with its first two issues.
The Shanghai Crisis ls published In
Chinese and English editions by the
students Of Using Hua College at
Picking in the interests Of the strike
and the contents Of the paper show
that these lads are real up and at 'em
scrappers.
The June 10 and June IA issues to
hand tell the story OF the early days
of the great struggle and the story of
the atrocities of the British troops is
illustrated by loose leaf picture of
the corpses of five of the martyrs
calculated to stir the blood Of read
ers to more intense resistance.
Shot Without Warning
Shooting down Of the strikers was
cold blooded massacre without any
warning the Chinese could understand,

sounded his orders to dispense and his
commands to fire, in English form
of speech the Chinese crowd could not

Meaning is given to the attack on
'truth-twisting" newspapers in
warm editorial in the June 10 issue
headed Reuter- VS.. Truth. OF this
huge press association which is to
Europe and the Far East what the
Associated Press is to America the
Shanghai Crisis says:
Capitalist New Service at Work
"The most terrible instrument of
perverting truth is the Reuter- News

perialism and an indispensable aid of
the British foreign Office. 1t reports

sDector Everson, an English officer.
who was most directly responsible for
the killing of May Both, without saying
word about the manifestos Of the
Chinese, not even the officially re-
corded testimony of the students at
the inquest"
1T practically controls the transmits
sion Of news from China to most parts
of the world. Therefore, the reading
public abroad, particularly English
men in England, will have no oppor-
tunity to learn the truth of the Shan
ghai massacre. And the perversion
of truth will seem truth to them be-
cause it is Reuters perversion."

Plate Printers Union
Happy Over Printing
Money They Don't Get

WASHINGTON, July 24.-FP)-
The international Plate Printers and
Die Stampers Union of North Amer
lea is holding its thirty-third annual
convention at the Shoreham hotel
here. Forty delegates from the United
States and Canada are attending. The
meeting was called to order by Wal
ter A. Burke of Boston, international
president.
Lots of Nice Paper Money on Tap
Thomas ]. McQuade, chairman of
the executive committee of the Wash
ington plate Printers Union informed
the convention that the bureau Of
printing and engraving that employees
the largest number of plate printers
of any establishment in the country,
is entering upon "halycon days" with
more work assured than ever before
in its history There is no prospect
for a let-down, he said for at least q
year.
Under the present regime, he said q
reserve stock of 40 million sheets Of
paper used in printing currency has
been accumulated that will be allowed
to age properly before 1t is used so as
to avoid putting "uncured" currency
into circulation. Mr.. McQuade de-
clared this was an economy because
it will make paper currency last Ion
ger in circulation.
James e. Goodyear of Philadelphia,
secretary of the international union
reported the treasury in excellent
'hape, and president Burke declared
hat the organization was in gener-
ally prosperous state.
