CANTON TROOPS
WIN VICTORY
over WI Army
ImperiGlist Forces in
Northward Flight
(speeiaI e The paIIy Workerl

CANTON, China, July 1s.-Troops
Of the revolutionary Canton govern
ment have recently inflicted severe
defeats on the imperalst armies of
Wu-Pei-Fu. The Cantonese have cap
tured chanesha, the capital of Human
province, and are marching on Han
kow, Flu stronghold and his principal
source of graft and ammunition sup
plies.
Differences in the camp of the i'm.
perialist forces are causing the Brit
sh and American capitalists consider
able worry. The British in particular
have poured treasure into the cot
fers of Wu and they now fear that
their money will be a total loss
Nationalist Armies Draw Closer.
General Feng's armies in the
vicinity of Picking have also inflicted
defeats on Chang-Tso-Lin's forces A
union of Feng's armies with the Can
tonese is expected shortly.
Hordes of soldiers from the WI and
Chang armies are pillaging the homes
and farms Of the peasantry. The worst
offenders are the White Russian
brigades. With reckless abandon they
destroy what they cannot consume,
forcing the women to work twelve
and fourteen hours day-in the broil-
ing sun and then force them to cater
to their lusts.l Terror stalks in the
wake of thqbe brigands and, the
masses pray ISis the return Of Fengs
nationalist armies.
British anda American missionaries,
with few exceptions, fail to protest
against this vandalism.

when the call was issued.
Out At Dawn On picket Line.
The SCOTS Run strikers get up
early in the morning to fight the
bosses. Every a. m. at 4:30 the local
picket leaders make the rounds and
pound the doors Out the workers and
their wives tumble from the company
houses, and descend the hillsides to
the road that runs by the tipples.
Every morning the numbers of pick
cts have been swelling and the num-
bers Of the scabs ebbing.
There are still some 20 to IS per
cent of the working force along the
Run to be pulled out. Most of these
are company or day-men, or import
ed scabs of doubtful coal experience.
Nearly all the coal diggers are out, and
ths companies are not shipping many
black diamonds any more, as the
"empties" and the three-or-four-car
trains hauled by dinky-engines, show
But the strikers want to make a
hundred per cent job of it and every
day shows a gain.
SCOTS Run strikers have fresh
grievances. The loss of union job pro-
lection is too recent for them to have
gotten used to scab conditions. Till
last April some of the leading COM
panies in this valley continued to do
business with the union at the three
year contract rate, which in this dis
trict fetches S7.26 for day men and
corresponding prices for the tonnage
miners. Then the cleveland Morgan
town company paisley interests), and
the Gilbert-Davis company and smaller
concerns, joined the ranks of contract
breakers. Wages dropped to $3.50 a
day-which at parttime employment
meant a very slim income.

been delayed by the courts. But the

STRIKE TERMS
Church Proposal Won't

tspeeIaI to The oaIIy workerl


LONDON, July 10. - While thous-
ands of working women paraded thru
the fashionable West End of London
to demonstrate their sympathy and
support of the striking miners, Pre-
nier Baldwin, in letter to the Bishop
Of Titchfleld, refused to consider the
proposals accepted by the Miners
Federation which council of church.
men had proposed as settlement terms,
and even refused to give a formal
answer to the ecclesiastics.
No End In Sight.
This ends the latest attempt to end
the strike of 1,25OOOO coal miners that
arose from lockout when the mine
owners tried to force a wage cut and
a longer work day.
The churchmen had written the gov
eminent letter suggesting that the
coal commission be Reconstructed to ad-
minister a government subsidy for
four months and to direct re-organiza-
ton of the coal industry, with the
miners to return on the old wage
scale during the four months while
reorganization would go on to make
wage cuts unnecessary.
Owners Aided by Baldwin.
The coal operators have agreed to
meet the churchmen to discuss the
situation in general, but as the gov
eminent has acted in advance to sup
port the owners opposition to re-or-
ganization, the chance of their yield
ing to the bishops is slight.
The demonstration of working
women sang the RED Flag" and the
"Internationale" as they paraded past
the clubhouses of the wealthy, crying
out:
why don't you do some work? Go
and earn your livingl"
Women Attack Government.
The paraders bore banners favoring
the miners slogan, mot penny off
the pay; not minute on the day!"
At their meeting resolutions were
adopted expressing deep indignation
at the governments handling of the
coal strike. The public was appealed
to for temporary homes for miners
children and speakers said that strike
relief was coming from the Soviet
Union, Germany and America. But
