JAPAN YIELDING 4
TO STRIKERS OF
SHANGHAI MILLS
Pay Damage, Promise
No Brutality
lspeeIaI to Tha DaIIy W0rkerl

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 16.-Ths
Japanese consul. s. Yada, acting in
behalf of the Japanese cotton mill
owners and the Chinese commissioner
of foreign affairs, Hsu Yuan, have an
nounced an agreement that will end
the strike of the Chinese employees OF
the Japanese mills. This agreement is
the result Of conferences that have
gone on for two weeks.
The agreement provides for the pay
ment of $4,000 as compensation for
the killing of a workman at the Maj
gal Wata Kaisha mill, which led to
the rioting in Shanghai on May 30,
recognition of the mill workers union
provided Picking sanctions the labor
laws-and for the adjustment of wages
in case living costs increase.
The agreement forbids the Japanese
mill foremen to carry arms except in
abnormal" times.
The Japanese own 80 per cent Of
the cotton mills in Shanghai, employ
$4,000 Chinese and operate 100000
spindles. The settlement is expected
to do much to alleviate the tense stu
alton in other foreign-owned mills.
Expectation that the wharf coolies
would return to work was disap-
pointment. The American wharves
are not affected.

in the economic life of the
Soviet Union.
Nevertheless, having regard to the
economic strengthening. the Soviet
government would gladly draw for
eign capital into the work Of raising
the technical level and the increase
of the speed of the economic recon
struction.
The capitalists, however should al
ways remember that their hopes of
fundamental concessions from the
Soviet government were useless, and
that the concessions would only play
a very subordinate, and never a de-
cisive, role in the economic life of
the Soviet Union.
Today, before its departure which
gave rise to a new and powerful de-
monstration of friendship on the part
of the Moscow working class, the Ger
man delegation held plenum session
and decided unanimously to send a
telegram to the Breslau congress of
the A. D. G. B. General German Trade
Union Association demanding that 1t
send an official delegation of the Ger
man trade unions to the Soviet Union
to investigate the situation in the
country and to establish close connec-
tons between the trade unions of both
countries.

parts of the Soviet Union with invita-
tions to the German delegation to

Dismissal Of four Negro professors
from the faculty Of Howard Unlver-

close Of the last school year, imme-

Mitchell scores Or. Durkee for hav-

investigation or hearing ito their
material damage, preventing them
from securing employment else

Pretense of an economy motive
in dropping these teachers is ridi-
culed in the report, since the money
represented by their salaries was at
once voted as increases Of salaries
for other men "and to finance

storm now sweeping against the ad-
minstration because Of it's prac-
tees"
The four professors graduated

the delegation is composed in it's ma
jority of social democrats.
sMenshevik Admits Its No Use.
ga part Of the delegation had the
opportunity Of speaking with an ex-
menshevik, and he declared that in
1923 a meeting of the mensheviki in
the Krasny Putilovez adopted the de-
cision to dissolve the organization. In
the various meeting no single menshe-
vits -pnta nor has amy written com
munication been made 1890
zion from such a source altho there
was ample possibility of such COM
ntunication, and many workers awaited
themselves of it.
a"At the same time we wish to use
this opportunity to say that altho the
works are very old it is in continuous
development in economic matters and
in some respects it has already
reached the pre-war level. With re-
gard. however, to workers protection,
social insurance, the education Of the
new generation. female protection,
youth labor and cultural tasks. no COM
parison can be made with the situa-
ton before the war. To quote only
one figure, in 1928. 1900 workers were
engaged in the Putilovez works; today
there are 5000 at work.
From all that has been SSH it is
clear that the letter which was pub
lished in the 'vorwaerts' dos not rep
resent the truth of conditions. This
fact shows in all its clearness how
necessary a delegation of German
workers to Russia was in order to dis
cover the real truth about the workers

Scholars on Strike

Strikes are not modern trouble.
One of the earliest and oldest strikes
on record is that which took place in
Oxford, England, in 1909, when, in
consequence of peculiarly outrageous
aggression of town upon gown, mas
tiers and scholars to the number of
5000 "downed tools" and retired in
high dudgeon to adjacent centers of
learning. The schools were closed, the
city was laid under an interdict, and
the trouble only ended five years later
i'm the complete humiliation Of the
erring burgesses, who were compelled
to do public penance and to accord
large privileges to the university
When the offended clerks finally con
descended to return, these "blacklegs,
who had continued to lecture in def
ance of the will of the majority were
punished by three years' suspension.
