A MILLION ON STRIKE
THROUGHOUT ALL CHINA

MOSCOW, June Shy MaiI.)-
. The total number of workers on
strike in China has reached 1,ooo,-
600. In Shanghai alone there are
100000 workers on strike, and the
strike here Is almost general.
The press is stopped. On June
6, the strike spread to the territory
of the French concession, which
until then was spared by the nove-
ment. The French police tried to
force the businessmen to open their
shops, but in vain. With the aid of
the police force the arrangements of
the textile factories are keeping the
workers at work.
The telegraph company offered it's
employees a three-fold wage and
diverse improvements II only they
would abstain from striking, but the
employees struck work none the less.

ALL CHINA CONTRIBUTES
TO SHANGHAI STRIKERS

MOSCOW, June 10. - (Ry MalI)
Monetary collections are taking
place for the strikers in Shanghai
turnout the whole OF China. The
Picking government has given t00,-
600 dollars. The university profess
sors half months wages, and even
the Manchurian generals with Chang
Tso-Iin at the head, who wish to
utilize the situation to extend their
influence in Shanghai, have donated
great sums.
The movement is spreading over
the whole country. The Shanghai
sailors have demanded that the
sailors union in Hong Kong should
commence a strike in solidarity.
In the center of Manehuria, Muk-
den, strikes have broken out. The
Chinese students in the Japanese
high schools Of South Manehuria
have carried out great anti-Japan-
csc demonstration.
On the border of Manchuria and
Korea, in An-Tung, a collision has
taken place between the Chinese
custmos police and the Japanese
police. The latter killed seven Chin
ese.
In Hankao demonstrating workers
and students attempted to force
their way into the British conces-
sion guarded by the British police
and marines, the latter met the
demonstrators with rifle fire whilst
the British warships anchored In
the river directed machine gun fire
upon the demonstrators.
0a Trial Opens.
In Shanghai the trial has begun
against the seventeen Chinese stu
dents arrested by the foreign police.
The court is a mixed one under the
chairmanship of the American rep
resentatiVe.
The inspector Of the foreign po-
lice, Everson, who gave the order
to fire, stated in evidence that he
had received instructions only to
fire in case of necessity, but should
shooting take place then he was to
shoot to kill.
A British missionary who gave
evidence, declared that the shoot
ing was necessary, but the Amer
lean missionaries Anderson and
klyn, declared that the demonstra-
tors only blocked the streets, Of
fered no resistance and could have
been peacefully managed. They
statde further that the police fired

ing over hundred shots.

zone does not need to be prophet
in order to see that after the Shan
ghai mass murder, the Chinese work
ing class will feel the desire to arm
itself in order to defend itself actively
at the given moment against the inn
perialist attack.
Our generation will experience
how the national revolutionary move
ment for freedom will become a direct
part of the world revolution.
Shanghai Movement Led BY
Communists
I'VE observe with the greatest pride
that the movement in Shanghai is
being led by the young Communist
Party and the Young Communist
League. At the present in China nu
merous spontaneous fighting organi-
cations are springing into existence
which will probably in the immediate
future set up definite program.
THE Chinese proletariat will not be
satisfied with the 10 hour day, it will
demand the eight hour day. The de-
mand for a united, free and indie
pendent China with freely elected
National Assembly as the provisional
government for the leadership of the
anti-imperialist struggle will grow
louder.
When Chinese delegations travel
to Europe to report there to public
opinion the real situation, the Euro
pean workers must send delegations
to China.
English Unions DO Their Duty
"The English trade unions are car
rying out their proletarian duty. They
are protesting against the acts of
their bourgeoisie in China and for the
first time since the days OF the Chart
list movement they come forward as
internationalists.
Unfortunately all the European
workers by no means understand the
significance and extent of the struggle
for freedom of the toiling masses of
the East. The awakening of the mas
SEES in the East is the essential condi-
ton for the freedom of the proletariat
Of the West.
The events in Shanghai, in Mo
rocco and in the Balkans are clear
proofs for the correct estimation Of
the world situation by the Comintern.
The partial defeats in the West are
being compensated for in the Orient.

holding of the world revolution, the in

y MOSCOW, June Is (By Mali
Successful collections in aid Of the
strikers in Shanghai are reported
from various towns in the Soviet

Council which allotted $4,000 gold
roubles to the strikers the day before

similar sum to Shanghai.
Red Aid Sends Cash.
The International Red Aid has sent
10000 roubles to China and has issued
an appeal to the workers and peas

Chinese people for a human existence
against the united attack of imperial
ism, with all the means at its disposal.
In the same spirit the women's sec

The Chinese workers, students

Gus kilograms of protest against
the arbltFsriness of the foreign
Imperallsts, with the request to
transmit these protests to the for

The antiimperiaIist movement is
spreading all over the country.
Mass demonstrations and protest
meetings are reported from WI
Chang, Kai Fong, Fu chu, and other
places. A foreign battIeship has
been dispatched to Kiu kiang,
where the police headquarters were
demolished.
In South China. particularly at
Canton, excitement reigns. At Pc
king, about 1000 speakers and stu
dents address mass meetings daily.
Deputations are steadily pouring in
to the capital from the provinces
to express their protests at the for
eign legations. The intelIectuals
have joined the movement.
