LEONID KRASSIN'S BODY CREMATED
IN LONDON; ASHES TO RED SQUARE

LONDON--Covered with blood-red
pail, the body of Leonid Krassin, So
Wet envoy to Great Britain, was con-
veyed from the Soviet embassy to
Golders Green, in a motor hearse,
followed by a cortege of 80 automo-
biles. There the body was reduced to
ashes by cremation.
Before the procession left the en-
bassy, representatives of the British
foreign office and Of most of the lega-
tons had called to pay their respects
About the yard, which was we'll filed
with flowers, mostly red, were many
people, including woman who held
aloft the Soviet flag OF red with the
scythe and hammer. Most of the
mourners wore red rosettes or arm
bands of that color.

me award Is further contested on
the ground that he was not acting
in the line Of his employment, even
if he were an employee.
1t is cited that after the strike was
called IN April, 1922, he agreed to
work only at stripping the mine,
surface working. Then on June 10,
he decided to begin mining operations,
and went to Chicago where he en-
gagged strikebreakers of the Hargrave
Detective Agency and supplies of the
Bertrand conmissary.
Mining operations were begun. 1t
was Mcdowell himself who arranged
with Sheriff Thaxton for deputy
sheriffs and with Col Hunter for
troops.
At five o'clock on the evening Of
June 2, he agreed to a truce, on terms
which he himself suggested. White
flags were raised and it was under
stood that the strikebreakers were to
leave the mine that night. Instead
they barricaded themselves in box
cars and spent the night there. The
next day the "Herrin massacre" took
place.
1t is cited that under Mcdowell at
he time the company was engaged in
IN armed warfare against the miners
inion. He was engaged in a struggle
or domination, to impose his settled
policy of carrying on operations by
ion-union labor, upon the United Mine
Workers Union"

HANKoW, Dec. 1.-THE strike Of
the labor unions and merchants
against the foreign concessions in
Hankow continues peacefully and has
entirely crippled activities in the Brit
ish and Japanese quarters. Troops
from British, Japanese and American
gunboats have landed and are guard
ing the concessions, but the strike is
nonetheless effective.
The immediate demands Of the la
Dor unions are for a higher rate OF
pay, but the strike is also in the ma
ture Of protest against the customs
control welded by the foreign pow
ers. Since the capture of Hankow and
Wuchang by the peoples armies from
WI Pei Flu, the affairs OF these i'm
portant cities have been administered
by the labor unions and merchants
councils.
With the arrival OF the Kuomintang
government apparatus which will be
moved here from Canton beginning
Dec. 5, a regular municipal govern
ment will be set up in both cities. 1t
is, however, expected that this will
make no change in the strike which
is growing and will be general by the
time the first bureaus arrive from
Canton.
