TOT the masses or the people in their
struggle for emancipation from the
bloody bonds of international impe-
rialism. The revolutionary working
class movement is developing swiftly
in the freed districts. The mercena-
ries of WI Pei Flu, the agent of the
British exploiters have been smashed.
The imperialists realize the danger
and are hurrying to provide the blood
hound with armed assistance. They
are preparing a great intervention in
China. The reactionary British gov
eminent, which has adopted the role
.of the gendarme of the world is, Of
course, the first to take the initiative
in the attack upon the Chinese people.
The British imperialists are sending
one cruiser after another to the Far
East and have bombarded peaceful
towns, numbering hundreds of I'M
armed inhabitants, as, for instance,
in the town of Wanhsien. Feverish
negotiations are being conducted with
the imperialists of other countries,
particularly with Japan, for the pur-
pose of forming a united front against
the masses of the Chinese people. The
agent of the Japanese imperialists.
Tchang Tso Lin, is provoking the So
Wet government in Manchuria. The
imperialists, clinging to the power
which is slipping from their hands,
will stop at nothing in order to light
the flame of a new world war and at
the same time a crusade against the
staunch ally of all oppressed peoples,
the U. S. S. r. Comrades, brothers,
young proletarians of the whole world,
you were and must always be in the
front ranks of the struggle against
imperialist war. The workers of the
world must not permit the imperial
lists to drown the struggle of the Chi
nese people in blood. Let us fight as
ore man against this new criminal
plan of the imperialists. Brothers,
soldiers, sailors, you dare not permit
that they use you as murderers
against your Chinese brothers who
are fighting for their elementary
rights. Drive bloody imperialism out
of China. Long live the revolution
airy struggle of the Chinese people
against international Imperialism!
Long live the international solidarity
Of the proletarian youth!

Howell Cheney of the silk manufactur-

necticut.
Protective Laws Not Enforced.
What Edgerton is trying to make
the American public believe, thru this
Cheney pamphlet, is that child labor
in America is largely myth. Ignor-
ing the main argument for federal
regulation-the fact that state laws
limiting the employment of young
children in textile mills and canneries
and tobacco factories are not enforced
he quotes endless statistics to show
that in 1920 only handful of children
under 16 years Of age were gainfully
employed in any industry except agri-
culture.
$4,000 Children in Mills.
Richard Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record, in an intro
ductory statement, disputes the claims
of the advocates of the late federal
law that 10000 children were en-
ployed in textile mills of one southern
state or that the N. A. M. spent mil
lions to defeat the child labor amend
ment in Massachusetts. He quotes a
Richmond business man who reproved
some students for repeating these
charges, which they had received from
a professor radically socialistic in his
teachings"
A Christian Gentleman.
President Edgerton," said this
Richmond business man, SIS one of
the great christian laymen Of the
country. He was chairman of the
committee in his denomination for
raising the Centenary fund few
years ago. He is an active christian
worker and in his own factory in
Tennessee has a chapel where all of
his working people gather for prayer
and praise service before beginning
their days work"
Delivered a TRADE.
Edgerton's christian alibi did not
help him when he came before the
WOmen's Industrial Conference in
Washington on Jan. 10 last to oppose
eight-hour and minimum wage laws
and other legislative safeguards for

Workers Communist Party
N. Y. Workers School
Opens Semester With
Large Headquarters

NEW YORK, Oct 7.-Due to its
splendid success last year, when it
had the largest enrolment of any
labor college in the country and to
the already heavy registration for the
coming term beginning on October IS
the Workers School has been com
PEELED to enlarge it's headquarters.
For this reason it has secured the
building next door and its new adj
dress is now 1O6-1OS East 14th street,
New York City. This will give the
school more than double the seating
capacity it had last year.
More Comfort Provided.
The added space to the Workers
School will make possible more COM
fort to the workers attending the
classes, will prevent congestion and
delay that always accompanies an in
sufficient number of rooms. 1t also
enables the Workers School to offer
more courses both of an advanced
and elementary nature. In all 81
courses will be offered this year. The
number Of pupils allotted to a class
can now be decreased, making pos
sible better instruction on the part
of the teacher and more participation
by each individual student in the
class.
Large Lecture Room.
There will be a large lecture room,
especially equipped for such courses
as American Labor Problems, Cur
rent Events and Forums. The stu
dents of the Workers School will
now be able to arrange dances and
social affairs.
New equipment, such as chairs,
blackboards, maps, etc, is being in
stalled 1t is intended to make all
organizational arrangements as salts
factory as the character of courses
and instructors

tram D. Wolfe, director of the Work
ers' School, 1O6-1OS East 14th street.

against Legislative poultices" while
hundreds of women delegates stared
in amazed anger or tried in vain to
get chance to challenge his most
hypocritical assertions, The moment
his denunciation of ''boishevists, So
cialists and Russian Communists" and
the social legislation in the ostensi-
BILE interest Of children and mothers"
was completed he left the hall. Some
of the women delegates asked the
chairman whether he could not be
brought back to face their replies.
Edgerton did not return.
The 5oIshevikl Everywhere.
His speech to the women was circu-
lated in printed form by the N. A. M.
He said that the reformers ought to
begin with the women and girls out
side of industry; that there were only
"a handful of 100000 women en-
ployed in organized industries; that
the women's organizations that were
seeking to protect these women in in
dustry were being hoodwinked by the
Bolsheviki into assisting in the tear
ing down of American institutions.
