SAILORS RESOLVE TO
LEAVE CHINA ALONE

Business Agent John A. Fcidje of
the Aberdeen branch Of the Sailors
union of the Pacific, handed in the
following resolution taken from the
minutes of the San Francisco meet
ing of July 6, 1925. It indicates the
attitude of the sailors as regards the
trouble in China.
Whereas, the workers Of China are
carrying on a struggle for better
working conditions and higher wages,
including the aboIishment Of the right
of the bosses in the factories ogbeat
up the workers, and the restriction
of the labor Of children under the age
of twelve;
And, whereas, the police Of the for
eign concessions in that country have
been used to break down those strikes
by the most brutal methods, including
the shooting down IN cold blood of
Chinese strikers, the arrest and tor
lures Of their leaders, and in some
cases to their conviction by court
martial for long terms; and, whereas
the American government has landed
troops and sent warships to protect
these infamous exploiters" of the Chi
nese workers under the "pretext" of
protecting American interests, and
American soldiers and sailors are do
ing police duty in China now to break
strikes called by the oppressed Chi
nese workers against Japanese owned
mills; and, whereas, the British trade
unions have protested to their govern
ment against interference in Chinese
affairs in behalf Of the British exploit
ers Of the Chinese working class;
Therefore, be it resolved that we
American workers, recognizing that
the workers of every country should
suporpt the struggles of their broth
ers and sisters against the employing
class, wherever that struggle is car
ried on, do hereby most strongly pro-
ties. against Intervention by the Amer
lean government in the affairs Of Chi

tions in America to take similar ac-

The District Council recently moved
into its handsome new 100000 home
at IL East Erie street. The money
to buy the lot and pay for the three
story and basement building was
raised while the fight with the Citi-
zens' Committee was raging. The
building will be dedicated with appro-
pirate ceremonies some time late in
July or early in August.
Three local unions affiliated with
the Carpenters District Council own
substantial buildings. They are as
follows: Local No. So, at 6416 South
Halstead street; Local No. 141, at

President Jensen and Business
Agents RatcIiff and Taylor were on
the job when the fight to break the
carpenters organization began four
years ago. Secretary Treasurer Sand
was elected a year later, while BUSH
ness Agent Whitman, who represents
the mill men, has held office for two
years.
The Citizens Committee to Enforce
the Lands Award was organized and
Incorporated for the sole purpose Of
breaking the building trades unions.
Three million dollars have been spent
in carrying out its plans, which have
been characterized IS a gigantic
criminal conspiracy"
The committee has carried on aboy-
colt against the unions and contrac-
tors refusing to submit to It's dicta-
ton, and branded as "outlaws" all
those who have opposed its will. Such
persons. firms and institutions have
been ostracized as not 400 per cent
American"
Bankers participated in the conspir-
acy by refusing to make loans to con-
tractors and builders who had the
courage to employ union mechanics.
Dealers in builders supplies were
ordered not to sell to any one refusing
to recognize the authority of the Citi-
zens' Committee.
Army Of Thugs Kept.
The committee maintained a pri-
vate army of armed thugs who we're
clothed with police powers. Some of
these thugs were used as inspectors"
to visit every construction job in the
city to see to it that work was being
carried on to the liking of the COM
.mittee. Violence was used wherever
it was deemed expedient, and many
peaceful union men were beaten up
and MANNED by these outlaws.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 men were
imported as strikebreakers. The men
who answered the lying advertise
ments published in the newspapers of
other cities found themselves virtual
slaves to the Citizens Committee when
they arrived in Chicago. Contractors
hiring these men were ordered to hold
out $500 a week from the married
men and $40 a week from the single
men and send these sums TO the COM
mittee, and in the event of man
quitting or being discharged to send
the entire weeks pay to the commit
tee. These sums were extracted from
the pay Of the imported slaves on the
subterfuge Of covering transportation
charges. It is customary for union
contractor to pay mans hotel ex-
penses and railroad fare when me-
chanic is sent to another city.
Council in New Building.
Indications are that the Citizens
Committee to Enforce the Landis A
ward is on its last legs and about to
give up the ghost, while the building
trades unions are stronger than when
the fight started four years ago.
There were $4,000 men affiliated with
the Carpenters District Council when
the Citizens Committee was organ
lied. The S8 local unions affiliated
with the council now have $4,000 MEM
bers.

BY international News Service


cHAUTAUQUA, N. r, July 25.-
Recognition Of the Russian Soviet
government by the United States
and increased American cooperation
with the League Of Nations were
urged by speakers before the In
ternational Relations Conference Of
the Federal Council OF Churches yes
terday.
Official recognition by the British
government was the greatest blow
communism has yet received, said
Stanley High, secretary Of the
board Of foreign missions of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
Declaring that Christianity must
and will eventually triumph over
communism" he said:
Communism in Russia is some
thing that thrives on isolation. The
communists believe that only in
Russia is the good OF the common
people sought. The only way in
which that Illusion can be preserved
Is to maintain the Russian people
in ignorance Of the facts Of other
countries"
Declaring that the United States
has been cooperating increasingly
with the League Of Nations, but
not as generously as many Ameri-
cans WISH" James G. Mcdonald,
president Of the foreign policy as
ISOLATION told the conference that
the league is steadily gaining the
confidence Of Europe"
