ist) Party defending the right to hold
open air meetings at w. North Ave

OF speaking on the street without
a permit" This, the police declared,
is in violation OF an ancient city

unconstitutional.

Lewis, and John Hecker were arrested
on the same corner, and booked under
the same charge.

conduct" charge was added. All those
arrested are out on bail.

AS WE SEE 1T
BY 7. J. o'FLAHERTY.

THE tack Of bringing about unity in
the trade union movement, nation
ally and internationally, in order to
more effectively wage the struggle
against capitalism is one Of the most
important immediate problems of the
workers of the world. And in view OF
the charges of disruption hurled at
the Communists by the social demo-
Gratis it is interesting to watch the
developments in the negotiations now
taking place between the red interna-
tional of Moscow and the yellow In
ternational Of Amsterdam.
WHO are the disruptionists? Who
W are sincerely in favor of unity?
No honest worker will have any diff
fculty in reaching a conclusion on
this question If he will read the cor
respondence between the two organi-
cations, published in the European
press and in the DAILY WORKER. 1t
is quite evident that the leaders Of
the Amsterdam International are
placing every obstacle in the way Of
unity, going even SO far as to refuse
a meeting with representatives Of the
Russian unions, the latter only de-
manding an unconditional conference.
GO outrageous has been the conduct
~ of the officials Of the Amsterdam
International that great wave Of pro-
test has arisen over Europe against
it. This is most apparent in England
the backbone Of Amsterdam. Lest
some of our readers might think that
the opposition to the Amsterdam OBJ
structionists which is growing in
England comes mainly from the
Communist elements. will quote the
following editorial comment from Ian
sburry's Labor Weekly on May 80:
THE Russian Trade Unions have
4 replied to Amsterdam by asking
again for an unconditional conference
The Amsterdammers, however, are
still trying to make them promise to
join up with the International Fedora
ton of Trade Unions as condition OF
being allowed to confer with 1t. This,
Of course, is sheer obstruotionism
The /. f. T. o. leaders abroad don't
want unity, and this is their way Of
trying to stop 1t. The next move is
with the British representatives; for

1t turns them down. at the risk Of
losing their support. They must press
for the absolutely unconditional con-
ference that obviously ought to be
called.
The Russian reply makes it plain
that they want to come in, and that
they won't sickle about the exact
wording of the l. F. T. U. statutes
But they want to be assured that they
are really being invited in as friends,

Yesterday in the Chinese city
some speakers at mass meetings ad-
vised workers other than those at
tached to British and Japanese firms
and persons to resume work.
Chinese Soldiers to Protect Chinese.
1t is reported that the Picking gov
eminent is ordering 1000 troops here
under command of General Lu Yung
Hsiang to protect Chinese against
abuse and attack of foreigners-at
least those abuses and attacks not le-
galized by the so-called treaties the
great powers have in the past thrust
upon China against her consent.
Shanghai continues under martial
law and 200 more Japanese marines
from the Tatsua were landed yester-
day. Two Japanese gunboats and
two Japanese destroyers went on up
the Yantsze river to protect foreign
ers at the upper river ports. Two
other Japanese destroyers have ar
rived and will remain at Shanghai.

ives by the Shanghal-American
Retired Students club yesterday
said:
"The Shanghai crisis was precipi-
tated by the foreign police killing un-
armed student demonstrators against
inhuman labor conditions. Post NOR
tenn examinations Of the victims show
that they were shot from behind. and
after only ten seconds warning. A
solution of the situation is possible
only upon justice being done"
Evidences Of a new and undoubtedly
frightened conciliatory tone in the at
titude of the foreign consular and
other imperialist representatives here
are seen in many quarters. The re-
luctance Of Japan to take up an ag-
gressive and belligerent position in
spite of all the attacks upon her in
terests, and the note Of the consular
body on Sunday indicates that the
home governments of the great pow
ers are not altogether anxious to ven
ture into large scale intervention, each
of them realizing that such an action
might mean war with the others over
the loot.

The consular note of Sunday was

if the British Sikh police troops were
at fault, court action would be taken
