TSA0 SUPPORTERS

Reconvening of Parliament
June 20 Called Illegal by
Minority.
BY the Associated Press.


PEKING, June 1.--China's 'ftiner-
ant parliament" elected In 1918. whose
last conspicuous act was to elect Tsao
Kun President In 1923, has announced
the intention to resume the session
interrupted In 1924 by the coup Of
Ferg Yu-hsiang. That is to say, a
goodly number Of the members have
so announced, and June 20 Is the
date fixed by nationwide telegraphic
notification for reconvening.
On the other hand, the minority
group Of the Parliament, or the So
called anti-bribery members Of Tien-
tsin, who refrained from voting for
Tsao Kun, have issued a protest
against the proposed allegedly H.
legal session. calling upon the nation
to rise and start punitive action
against their Peking colleagues.
The Tientsin members are out for
restoration of the original Marking
constitution. drafted by the first Ma
tional Council. and will have none
other. They are particularly opposed
to the constitution promulgated by
President Tsao Immediately following
his election.
The Parliament's future. therefore,
promises to be as stormy and as fu-
tile as it's past.
Tsao Kun became President Of
China on October 10. 1928. 1t was
freely charged that bribery Influenced
many members Of the Parliament that
elected him. He was deposed by
Feng Yu-hsiang in 1924. Feng then
took charge of the government and
