MOSCOW. June 20 (By MaiD-The
latest kilograms from China describe
the situation there as follows:
THE main struggle is in Shanghai
where the strike is already in its
third week. Among the strikers
there are 100000 Industrial workers.
The differentiation of the movement
is daily becoming sharper. On the
one side are the revolutionary work
ing masses, the revolutionary student
body, and the small traders; on the
other side-the bourgeoisie and the
vacillating intellectuals who are ever
more inclined towards a compromise
with the foreign powers, which fact
meets with the greatest resistance on
the part of the workers and students.
But the alien powers rejected even
the modest demands Of the Shanghai
chamber Of commerce, and the nego-
tiations carried on in Shanghai be.
tween the foreign consuls and the
Chinese government commission were
unsuccessful because the former were
willing to grant only the less import.
ant demands such as apology by the
foreign powers, and the punishment
and dismissal Of those guilty, where
as they refused to discuss the main
demands such as the abolition Of the
mixed consular courts, the right of
Chinese municipalities to vote, etc.,
under the pretext that these demands
stood in no direct relation to the re-
cent events.
The negotiations were transferred
to Picking, where they will be con-
tinued between the consulates and
the government; this circumstance is
causing uneasiness among the revolu-
tionary elements, because Picking, not
having an Industrial proletariat, may
be more inclined to effect comprom-
Use.
At any rate It is certain that ire
spective Of the diplomatic negotia-
tions, the proletariat Of Shanghai will
insist upon its demands and will re-
ject all compromises.
$1,000 Reward for stooIpIgeons.

kong, the strike is general. The Brit
ish authorities are Offering a reward
Of ESQ for any spy-informatio about
the leaders OF the strike.
