NATIONALIST MOVEMENT
STIRS SHANGHAI; DARE
TO DIE CORPS" FORMED

SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 14-col-
onel Yen chung-chang, Chinese chief
of police of the native city has pro-
hiblted public meetings following
the formation Of a "dare-to-die" or
ganizatlon of militant national lib
eratlonsts, who openly proclaim
they will fight to the death against
police and soldiery breaking up
meetings Of the workers and the
national liberation movement, of
which the Kuomintana is the lead
ing party.
This is merely an indication Of
the growing spirit of the Chinese
masses, stirring under the heel Of
alien Imperialism, and kept from
open revolt largely by native official
repression.
From Tientsin the report is that a
preliminary skirmish between the
troops of General Feng Yu-hsiang
and Ii chlng-ling, governor Of Chi
hi province, LIS troops won.. To-
kio reports state the exact opposite.
The railway and the motor road be-
tween Tientsin and Picking is said
to be cut in several places.

70,000,000, an increase of over bill
lion dollars in IL months.
U. S. Gold Certificates.
The low amount of paper currency
of the United States as compared to
the tremendous issues of Hungary
and France does not mean that those
countries are in a more favorable con-
dition as far as money is concerned.
Quite the contrary is the fact. The
movement of commodities is so slow
in those countries, the economic con-
dition so shattered, that it takes an
enormous amount of paper (ictitious)
symbols to carry on the business of
the country.
In the United States small
amount OF currency only is required
to circulate an enormous amount Of
commodities. Also the currency used
as circulating medium here is for the
most part composed of gold certifi-
Gates. Each yellow back in circula-
ton is worth it's face value in gold.
This tremendous change has taken
place since the war. The ordinary
bank currency (green backs) is is
sued on the basis of 100 to Is gold
dollars. The influx of gold at the close
of the war caused a movement to-
ward withdrawal of this currency
from circulation and the issuing of
new currency in the form of gold GER
tificates, eatjh of which is ISSUED upon
the basis of its face value in gold and
can at any time be cashed on demand
at the United States treasury for the
full amount.
Even this issuance of gold currency
has not helped the situation here
which is rapidly becoming alarming
because of the impossibility of find
ing places with which to dispose of
the enormous surplus that has &C
cumulated.
This plethora of gold makes essen
tial the tremendous sweep Of impe-
rialist conquest, and is responsible for
the efforts to maintain and increase
the power of the military establish
ment of the country, so that the work
ers may be modified to wage war
against other countries in order that
the bankers on Wall Street may be
able safely to invest the wealth they
have pillaged from the working class.

Any Wage Increase

LONDON, Dec. 14-The government
commission on railway wages has
rendered report which denies all
pleas for a raise in the wages Of rail-
way labor. 1t has been joyously ac-
cepted by the capitalist press, but
there is certainty that the arrogant ct
titude of the commission will generate
further unity In the ranks Of the
British unions. Especially It will tend
to push the movement for an alliance
with the miners and transport workers.

Jewish Bakery Workers
Thrown Out of Work in
Dispute Between Bosses

A dispute between the Jewish bake
shop proprietors' association and the
retail grocery and delicatessen store
owners has resulted in much hard
ship for members Of the Jewish Bak-
ers' Union Local No. 237.
The retail grocery and delicatessen
shop proprietors refused to handle the
bread baked by the members of the
Jewish bakeshop proprietors' associa-
ton, as they claimed the price they
charged for bread was too high and
that they could buy bread from other
bakers at a much lower price.
When the bakery wagons, which
had been sent out to deliver the bread
returned with their loads, the bake
shop proprietors closed their shops
and sent their union bakery workers
home.
The bakeshop owners and the re
tail store proprietors have come to a
temporary agreement and it is expect
ed that the men will be back at work
in two or three days.
Many of the union bakers fear that
the agreement which the bosses have
entered into with the storekeepers
will result in an attempt to lower
their wages.

BRINGS HAITI
SUPPRESSION
into SENATE
Shows Wall Street Is
Ruling Caribbean
Especial to Tho DAILY wOrkerl


WASHINGTON, Dec. A. Resolu-
tions demanding of the state depart
ment an explanation of the powers
and functions Of Brig. Gen. John Il.
Russell, military governor Of Haiti,
and an account Of his activities in pre-
venting the holding of elections by
N&he Haitian people, and also a reso-
luton declaring II to be "the sense
of the senate" that American forces
should be withdrawn from Haiti, have
been introduced by Sen. King Of Utah,
democrat.
Wants to Know.
In his first resolution King asks for
all correspondence that has passed
between Gen. Russell and the Haitian
government, and between any other
agent Of the American government
and the Haitian government, with ref
erence to Haitian loans by American
banks. He asks whether the state de-
partment has instructed Russell to
prevent the holding Of an election
next January, or to retain the present
Haitian officials in office in default of
such election.
These inquiries are designed to
bring out the fact that the Borno gov
eminent in Haiti is puppet set up
by the American military forces and
obeying Gen. Russell, and that it has
been made to negotiate loan in Wall
Street at high profit to American
bankers and against the will of the
Haitian people.
Treaty Protects Bandits.
In his second resolution King de-
clares that existing relations between
Haiti and the United States have be-
come unsatisfactory to Haiti and dis
advantageous to the United States.
This is due, he holds, to American
military and fiscal control Of Haiti.
The purposes for which Intervention
was ordered have long since been &C.
complished, and it is now the duty of
the United States to withdraw and
to arrange an abrogation of any
treaty or other agreement providing
for the control of Haitian revenues by
the United States, or providing for
the Intervention of the United States
in Haiti's political affairs.
This last clause refers to the trick
clause in the Haitian treaty establish
ing American officials in control of
= Haiti's revenues and permitting the
American government to protect"
these American officials. Under this
pretext American conquest of both
Haiti and the Dominican republic
was carried out.

MOSCOW, Dec. 14-Olga Degtarova
strangled her six-weeks old baby after
she had found it was infected with a
chronic disease which would render
it insane, but would not cause its
death for many years. She was tried
and sentenced to eight years impris-
onment in the lower court. She ap-
pealed. The higher court freed the
woman, declaring she had acted ac-
cording to her best judgment of the
most beneficial thing for her baby.
The court declared she had done the
best thing for society.
BERLIN, Dec. IA majority of
German parents of children suffering
from incurable mental or physical
disease are willing to have their chill
dren's lives snuffed out, according to
study made by DR.. Ewald Meltzer,
prominent physician and director OF
an asylum for imbecile children in
Saxony.
DR.. Meltzer reveals in book, which
he has just published, that he asked
200 parents of his patients whether
they would agree to the premeditated
death Of their children. One hundred
and nineteen OF the parents answered
in the affirmative and only 43 were
definitely in the negative.

EDISON PLANT
Bosses Fail in Attempt
to Recruit ScGbS
ey A Worker oOrrespOndent

The successful picketina Of the Edl-
sonson Electric Appliance company
plant at 52nd and 10Th streets has re-
suited in a number Of men failing to
report for work yesterday morning,
with some of them coming to the
strike headquarters and joining the
striking sheet metal workers. All
that is now left in the plant is about
a dozen seabs and an army of gun
men calling themselves deputy sher-
IFS.
Company Pebbles Fairy Tale.
The company, in its desperation, is
trying to induce workers in its main
plant at seth and Taylor Sts to submit
to transfer to the struck shop, telling
them that there is no strike and that
couple of men, who quit work or
were fired, were raising hell in order
10 get back into the plant. This fairy
ale that the company bosses are tell
ing certainly jibes with the army Of
gunner that are being maintained in
the plant and that are used to escort
the scabs to and from work.
The company is also offering the
men at the main plant higher wages
if they will submit to the transfer. AS
yet none of the workers have been in
duced to scab on their fellow workers.
The strikers are taking steps to ac-
quaint their fellow workers in the
main plant of the situation that exists
in the struck plant.
DAILY WORKER Tells of Strike.
The DAILY WORKER was distri-
buted yesterday before the main plant
telling the story of the sheet metal
workers strike.
The ranks of the strikers remain
firm and they are determined to carry
on the strike to a successful conclu-
sion.
May Start Campaign.
The condition of all the workers in
the electrical manufacturing concerns
in Cicero is deplorable. and out of the
situation that now exists may develop
general organization campaign to
organize this important industry.

"The pardoning of Gitlow must not
deceive any worker regarding the in
tentions of the capitalist class. At
the very moment of the pardoning of
Gitlow, the president in his message
to congress, declares for the registra-
ton of all alien workers, under the
guise of enforcing the immigration
law; the president proposes the crea-
tion of weapon thru which the CAPT
talists can enforce greater slavery
over both native and foreign-born
workers. In Pittsburgh, members of
organized labor are being sentenced
to long time Imprisonment for defend
ing the right of freedom of speech,
and for fighting for the interests of
organized labor. The confirmation of
the Imprisonment of Charlotte Anita
Whitney is again a demonstration
that the capitalist class is pursuing
a policy of persecution and oppres-
sion Of the workers.
