There were not enuf officers Of the
different unions present to do any
thing definite in regard to the building

motion was passed stating that it was
the desire of the delegates present
that building be built or purchased
to be known as the Topeka Central
Labor Temple and to be used as a
meeting place for the Industrial Coun-
Gil and the different labor unions.
Mr.. Newlun, railroad worker who
went out in the big railroad strike,
was a visitor and gave a short talk
emphasizing the necessity of organic

The Progressive Building Trades
Committee has repeatedly pointed out
the jurisdictional war between these
two unions as caused by a reluctance
on the part of the officials Of both the
Bricklayers and the Operative Plas-
terers to block the movement for
amalgamation really desired by the
membership OF both unions.
The Progressives point out that the
present bitter strife merely plays into
the hands of these reactionary of1ci-
ais and may be is deliberately con-
cocted to stir up hatred between the
members of the two unions and pre-
vent the normal and fraternal prog

Amalgamation, the progressives as
sert, will only come about when the
members of both unions, tired of the
continual sabotage of their unions by
self-seeking bureaucrats, take the bull
by the horns and amalgamate their
unions while pushing the squawking
officials Of both sides off the scaffold.

Cuts OFF Food, Water

PICKING, China, Aug. 1.-THE strik-
ing students and workers have placed
a successful picket line around the
British legation and his British males
ty is hard put to it to get anything
to eat. Everything possible is being
done to prevent anyone taking food
into the legation.
Almost the whole staff of 200 serv-
ants are on strike. The few scabs
left have to be heavily guarded by
British marines when they go out to
buy supplies, and even then the shop
keepers will not take the risk of SELL
ing to them. The only rift in the Lutte
is the strikebreaking tactics of other
legations, whose imperialist attaches
buy food and smuggle it in to the
British legation.
Needless to say, Soviet Ambassador
Karakhan's staff is not guilty of such
scabby treatment of the Chinese liber.
alton strikers. The British minister.
highly indignant at being made to do
his own fiunkeying, has registered bit
ter protest with the Chinese govern
ment, but is not assured that it can
do anything
The British legation is cut off from
electric light, telephone and water
service, and the great joy of the strik-
ers is to see at a distance the naughty
British minister groninp his wav with
candle in hand thru dirty and disor-
derby rooms, aiding his family, in
rustling something to eat and drink,
while cursing Justify at the strikers.
The strikers demand that the Shang-
hal case be satisfactorily settled in
accordance with the thirteen demands
made there shortly after the massacre
by the British troops.
