ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., July 10

Reiteration was made Of tho
position taken by President john

Union leaders and representatives

their belief In the futility Of fur
Their negotiations, considering the
"deadlocked" opinions maintained
by both sides. Many of the COM

The operators have definitely re-
jected the miners demands for q
wage increase, contending that
wages should be lowered instead to
meet the increasing competition in
the anthracite field offered by oil,
gas, electric power and the bitumi-
nous coal industry. The miners
demand for the CHECK off, was also
fatty rejected.
Lewis declared the wage increase

CANTON, China, July 10.-With
conditions hourly growing more
menacing, Canton was practically:
cut off from the outside world to-
day.
All boats between Canton and
Hong Kong ceased running on ac-
count of the Chinese crews joining
the strikers and the Chinese tele-
graph service has been discontinued
between Canton and Hong Kong.
Communication between the two
cities is now confined to radio com
munication from the FOREIGN gnn-
boats here to defend foreign in
tereSts.
The Chinese continue to threaten
an attack on Shameen, the foreign
settlement. 1t is estimated that
there are 100000 strikers from
Hong Kong now here and a serious
civil disturbance is anticipated be-
cause of the huge number of idle
strikers and the growing scarcity
of rice.

COURTROOM, DAYTON, Tenn,
July 1O.-Leaping over its first
obstacle in the legal battle of
the century" the State of Ten
nessee this afternoon reindicted
John Thomas Scopes, twenty-four-
year-old high school professor, on
charges of violating its anti
evolution law.
The anticipated clash between
religion mad science which focused
the eyes of the world upon this
mountain town was relegated to
the background while the uninter-
esting technicalities of the law
held sway. The new indictment
was brought in by a specially
summoned grand jury which went
into session an hour after the
great evolution trial opened.
To Block Defense.
The skillful legal maneuver was
a part Of the States plan to block
every loophole through which
Scopes might escape conviction. 1t
was ordered by Circuit Attorney
General A. Thomas Stewart, chief
of prosecuting counsel, because the
old Scopes Indictment had been
privately attacked on technical
grounds.
Stewart asked that the old indict-
ment be quashed, which was or.
dered by Judge John T. Raulston,
who is presiding in the case.
The court then called for a trial
Of the new case against Scopes.
Came As Surprise.
The reindictment move came as
a complete surprise to the defense

tense counsel at once requested

The procedure of a Judge, while
sitting as a trial court, summoning
and charging a grand jury and
sending it out to find a new in
dictment Is perhaps unique in
American Jurisprudence.

Judge John T. Raulston presiding.

In Syria II is the imperialist gov
eminent ftsetf which appears as thu
leader Of the struggle against the na-
tive population. In Palestine, how
ever, the English have created q buf-
fer In the shape Of the Zionists. The
policy of the Zionsts in Palestine Is
aggressive and absurd, and is regard
ed by the Arab population as q ser
ious threat against their existence.
The Zionists enjoy various privileges
and advantages from the English gov
eminent. A minority, amounting to
not more than Is per cent OF the popu-
lation. enjoy special privileges from
the government thru the executive or
gan Of the Zionist organization, and
determine along with the government
the number Of Jewish immigrants to
be admitted into Palestine, etc. In
order to provide settlements for the
Jewish immigrants the Zionist organ
ixatiOn and other Jewish capitalist
concerns are purchasing land from
the Arab big landowners and expeI1tng
the Arab peasants from their little
plots of ground.
IN Palestine the government Is d.

against the young. but well organized
Communist Party, which is conduct
ing the most active and successful
fight against Imperialism and against
Zionism. The connection of this party
with the national revolutionary eIe-
ments and the growing popularity OF
its slogans among the Arab working
and peasant masses constitutes a ser
ious danger for English imperialism
in the Near East, as it threatens it
with the collapse Of its cunning policy
in Palestine.

constantly growing. The Arab ma

ing the character OF a movement Of
the broad masses Of the people. This
is chiefly due to the difficult economic
situation in which Syria finds itself at
present. The peasantry Of the most

emigrating in masses as their situa-
ton is intolerabIe. The wages of the
town workers are lower than those Of

and his son Feisal at the head. This
movement n now becoming a move
ment OF the whole people. Broad circles
Of one-time mutually hostile Moharn-
medan and christian inteIlectuaIs are
uniting together In a common struggle
against France. At the same time,
with the defeat sustained by Hussein,
there have also been dispelled the
hopes Of an All-Arabian state under
the protectorate Of any European
state. AT present the movement has
lost It's bearing and has no clear aim.
But the number Of supporters Of the
liberation movement is growing. It
is also gaining confidence in its own

in the near future the powerful growth

they prefer to create a support in

Beyrout rely upon the rule of their
own general, the English in Palestine,
however, impose the task of consoI-
idating their power upon the liberal
zionists. Compared with the policy Of
