PRESSMEN TO
CARRY ON FIGHT
AT CUNEO PLANT

The walkout Of the pressmen and
feeders at the cuneo Printing COM
pany plant still continues, with George
l. Berry and his international board
of directors doing their level best to
supply scabs.
Feeling against Berry is mounting.
1t is safe to say that ninety-five per
cent of the membership in Locals 8
and 4 are now against him.
One of the locked out pressmen who
fought in the world war and parti-
cipated in many of the most import
ant battles in which the American
army participated, stated yesterday
to the DAILY WORKER that "Majah"
Berry never handled a gun at the
front but spent most of his time graft
ing while the war was on. While
Berry was calling on the workers Of
the United States to participate in
the war for democracy" he was fast
ening his iron rule on the Printing
Pressmen's Union.

MASS PICKETING
AT CLOTH PLANT.
THIS TUESDAY
AmaIgGm0ted Increases
Strike Benefits

The strike benefit paid to the en1s'
pIoyes Of the International Tailoring
company has been increased three
dollars per week, the AmaIaamated
Clothing Workers officials announe-
cd at the strike meeting yesterday
at Hold Carriers Hall. The strikers
decided to make. Tuesday morning,
September 10, day Of mass pickett
Ing, in celebration 81 Labor Day, and
to show the solidarity Of the strikers
The strike meeting on that day will
be shortened In order to allow all Of
the strikers to be on the picket line.
The Amalgamated officials declared
they knew nothing Of the shooting Of
two strikebreaking employees Of the
International Tailoring company yes
terday at West Chicago Ave, and
North Oakley Blvd, Louis j. Lyons.
1926 Pine Grove Ave-, Emil Benson
North Leavitt St., and Joseph Dico-
sofa were riding to work in an auto.
Lyons the driver, was shot in the
ileg, and Dicosola was shot in the
head. Both will recover.
Isadore Rothbart. business agent Of
the pantsmakers, and leader of the
strike, pointed out to the DAILY
WORKER, that in the Amalgamated
strike here in 1910. the Lamm and
Co. garment manufacturers hired
stool pigeons to break their windows
in order to have something to blame
on the strikers. The stool pigeons
confessed, and signed afidavits that
they had been hired to create trou-
BILE, Rothbart said.
Another theory advanced by some
of the strikers Is that the small
clothing companles who find It diff
cult to compete NH the information
al, have seized on the strike as an
opportune time to make trouble for
the larger concern.
Rothbart at thes strike meeting re-
piled to the challenge Of the Interna-
tional to send reporters to New York
to see whether the plant there is
working with strikebreakers, declar-
ed it was significant that the Interna.
tional refused to send representatives
of working class newspapers, but
wished to accept the report of the
bosses sheets.
On Monday, the new strike bene
fit, $500 to married strikers and
S1100 to strikers without depend.
ents, will be paid.

terday where the striker had been

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 4-The
department of labor and industry of
Pennsylvania has rescinded a ruling
that belts and pulleys. except Hanged

Baltimore Conference Hears All
 Sides of Questions

Baltimore, Sept. 1s R Charles R. Crane, former United States min. ister to China, presiding at last nights opening session of the unoffi- cial conference on Chinese -Ameri- can relations likened China to man who has discovered a robber digging under his property wall.
 Mir. Crane related a story once told him by former President Hsu of China wherein a Chinese gentle man walking home late at night round robber digging under wall and paused to watch him sympa- thetically, finally advising him that he was wasting his time-where he dug led only to the well.
 How do you know so much about this house?" inquired the robber.
 "Oh 1t is my house."
 That is what, Europe has been doing for a great many years" de- clared Mir. Crane land the people inside the wall are beginning to take notice. They. have been very con- siderate and kind for long time. but tbey are beginning to feel as though they had nearly enough of this digging under the wall"
 Dr. Sao-ke Alfred Sze. Chinese minister 10 the United States, de- clared in the principal address of the evening. that the peaceful develop ment of China and her millions, Fortunately for the peace and se- curity of the world" is an absolute certainty, 'unless that development is deflected by foreign agency into channels of miltarism, Dr. Sze said that the opinion of the Chinese peo, pie regarding the now existing trea- ties was highly critical 'The Chi nese development of China" he said Twill make for peace if only because the whole of Chinese culture rests on belief in the power and appeal of moral force.
 we hold material force so mean ly that the soldier is the lowest or der of our social hierarchy, and this valuation will remain so long as the Chinese people are allowed to pro- gross and develop along the lines of their national genius"
 Dr. P. W. Kuo named the boycott as ''one thing that China has learned to do well' and declared that China may perhaps be driven against her wish to follow the example of Japan and make herself strong In arms" unless in coming negotiations she is mot given as sympathetic hearing as she deserves" He said that the outcome of negotiations in the near future would be hard to prophecy. and added that if the powers try honestly to appreciate China's point of view" China would be aided in setting up stable government, would be left less exposed to soviet influence, and would have "her good will toward some and her faith in other foreign powers restored"
 The force of the Chinese peoples awakening to national self-con- sciousness. would augur well for the future if turned into constructive channels. the conference members were told by Dr. Leighton Stuart, president of Peking university.
