SENATORS HEAR
OF TERROR IN
PASSAIC STRIKE
Untermeyer Refutes the
Stories of Sen. EdwardS
BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press.


WASHINGTON, April 2S.-SamueI
Untermyer, New York corporation law
yer and investigator pleaded the
cause Of the Passaic textile strikers
and that of the civil Liberties Of the
people of the strike region for two
hours before the senate committee on
manufactures behind locked doors.
Armed with hundreds of affidavits
from victims and witnesses of police
brutality and official violence, he an
swered and overwhelmed the claim
which had been made by Senator Ed
wards of New Jersey, corporation
democrat, that the strike was simply
a Communist demonstration without
economic basis.
Gives Lie to Edwards.
Untermyer showed not only that the
mill owners and their adherents in
charge of the police and the sheriffs'
offices had treated the striking mill
workers like conquered people, but
he demonstrated that the wage cut of
10 per cent which forced the mill
hands to strike was unjustifed by
the financial condition of the Botany
mills or any other concern which is
involved.
He proved that the average net
earnings of the textile mills in Passaic
for the past nine years had been
about SO per cent on actual invest
ment. He showed that the United
States government had generously
granted tariff rates OF about 4S per
cent to the manufacturers, and that
on this tariff subsidy they had fat
tened while reducing their employees
to state of helplessness which Dor
dered on peonage. They were kept
unorganized, distrustful of each other,
and afraid of losing their Jobs. Finally
the pressure had become too great,
and at call for resistance they had
walked out under the leadership of the
improvised organization known as the
United Front Committee.
Old Guard Opposed.
His description of the clubbing,
trampling and intimidation of the
strikers and their sympathizers, and
of violence to onlookers in the streets
when the strikers went on picket
duty impressed the reactionary sena-
tors of the committee. However, they
indicated by hostile questions and
comments that they did not propose to
ask the senate for a public investiga-
ton of the strike. Senator Wheeler
and Senator LaFollette favored prompt
affirmative action on the LaFollette
resolution, calling for a thoro inquiry.
Chairman Mckinley. Senator Metcalf
OF Rhode Island and other admins
tration members did not support them.
1t was agreed that Secretary of Labor
Davis should be heard as to the posi-
bility Of federal mediation. Inter
myer had argued that in view of the
millions which congress had enabled
these Passaic manufacturers to take
from the American public thru the
tariff congress could properly investi-
gate the consequences of its own act.

100000 Murderers Needed.

Experts there for the "force" advo-
Gates estimated that an army of 1O0,-
900 European soldiers could safeguard
the present privileged position of
foreigners in China and hold back the
nationalist armies. They estimate a
large part of this force could be brot
from India, where Great Britain now
has $4,000 European soldiers stationed.
The British garrison at Hongkong has
already been heavily increased.
This plan involved the division of
China into two military commands
the north and the south. Most of the
foreign troops would be garrisoned at
Tientsin and Shanghai, these seaports
dominating all the coast to Hongkong.

This plan contemplated the first d.
vision of such an army landing at

1t was reported that the tacit support
Of Chang Tso Lin had been already

Hankow, the great center OF the Chi
nese steel industry, the experts consid-
cred, could be captured thru a bonn
bardment by British gunboats, which
can reach the city easily by the river
route. AS the city is unfortifed it
would be taken without much trouble.
The principal objective of such
