VIENNA, April 1.-THE "Freie

concerning the activity. of women in

1t states that in the executive

laborous toll, in the interest of the

ImpefiaIist Policy

DETROIT, Mich, April 1.-THE
Detroit Federation of Labor has gone
sled-length against United States in
tervention in China and against the
Smelling of Marking by United States
war vessels.
In resolution passed unanimously
at the federation's annual installation
of officers the federation went on re-
cord in favor of the immediate with
drawal of all land and see forces
from Chinese soil and waters.
Frank X. Maltel, president of the
federation, moreover, was instructed
in the resolution to speak as repre-
sentative of the federation at mass
meeting called for April IA at the
Majestic Theatre in protest against
the Marking Smelling. The resolution
also named Martel as the federation's
delegate to the Detroit anti-imperial-
ism association, which called the
mass meeting. The association was
formed at conference of represen-
tatives Of 10 organizations called by
Young Asia.
Coming before the installation pro-
gram, the discussion on the resolution
consumed an hour and half. A
Judge invited to administer the oath
of office to the incoming officers
waited that length Of time in an ante
room.
No dissenting voice against the
resolution was heard. Adams, an in
ternational organizer for the machin-
lists, said Americans went to China
either TO travel or for dollars.
"And everyone knows that when
troops and warships 60 into China
they go to protect the dollars" he
said. American labor is not inter
ested in supporting such protection"

NO SPLIT IN THE

CHINESE SPEAKER
Sha Scores Biased News
In Capitalist Press

Denying that there is any split in
the Kuomintang, Samuel Sha, young
representative Of the Chinese Work
ers' Alliance, scored the efforts of
the foreign imperialists to precipi-
tate an internal conflict in the Kuo-
mintang in an address at the open
forum at the Workers School, 10S
East 14th Street, Sunday night.
Although Samuel Sha is a member
Of the Kuomintang, he does not rep
resent it officially, officials Of the
local Kuomintang said last night.

Branding the statements which
have been appearing in the capitalist
press. as lies intended to draw the
United States into a war against the
Chinese liberation movement, Sha de-
clared that the news appearing in
American papers is inspired by the
British Foreign Office. He pointed
out that the head of the Associated
Press in China is the head of Reuters
British News Agency.

full" he said, "she will find herself
engaged in war to protect British

Fascist ROwdies Beat

BERLIN, April 11.-Ernst Kantor,

Kantor, who is past middle age,

by the Fascist hoodlums, who are
members of General Ludendorff's ul-

only excuse for the attack given by
