Tampa Fire Into Mob
Bent Upon LwCRing

TAMPA, Florida, June 1.-The mob
which seemed determined to lynch b.
+. Levins, reputed to have confessed
to several murders, finally dispersed
Ibis morning, but not until it had
clashed with the Florida National
Guard
The crowd, made up of many Of the
best citizens Of Tampa, with sundry
visiting Northerners who came South
seeking amusement and were anxious
to partake Of the chief sport and help
hang man, were considerably
shocked when the deputies and militia
actually defended the Jail. Lurid sto-
ries of the atrocity Of the crime had
inflamed the southern gentleman and
their guests, and the lynch mob
formed with the fatal facility Of long
practice, forgetting that there was no
Negro involved in this case.
Anger at the sheriffs for firing
caused further clashes, in which ma
chine guns were finally used. Three
are killed and an unknown number
wounded.

No Quarrel With British Workers.
The people of the Soviet Union and
their government foster no hostile
feelings toward the people Of the
British Empire with whom they
wished to maintain normal and friend
ly relations Such undoubtedly is also
the desire of the people of the Brit
ish Empire. But these normal rela-
tions are not the wishes Of the present
British government, which from the
first day Of its existence strove to
keep its relations with the U. S. S. r.
constantly in state of tension and to
further strain them. The British gov
ernment prefers system Of oppres-
sion, and enmity to system Of nor
NAL rela ions. 1t decided on a rupture
Of diplonatic relations for which it
must assume all responsibility fully
realizing this rupture will inevitably
upset the existing political and econ
omic International relations.
w III ANCEtdse european AudOSs
1t could not but recognize that
rupture would increase the economic
chaos from which Europe still suffers
since the World War, and that it
would deal hard blow to the cause
of peace. However, it decided this step,
sacrificing the interests of the broad
masses of the British Empire and even
British industry.
The Soviet Government notes this
act, being fully convinced that the
act will be condemned not only by the
toiling masses but also by all progress
sive elements of the world. At the
same time it firmly believes that the
time is near when the British people
will find ways and means for the I'M
hampered realization Of their aspira-
tons for peace and for the establish
ment of normal, friendly relations
with the people of the Soviet Union.

large measure responsible for Chang
Tso-lin's defeat.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Evacua-
ton of the American legation and
other properties in Peking, ancient
capital of the Chinese empire and of
its recent successor, the republic of
military chiefs, has been planned by
the State Department and approved
by President Coolidge. Unless condi-
tions in northern China become quieter
within few days, orders for with
drawal of the staff and their records
and private effects to Tientsin, on the
coast, will be issued
British and Japanese policy Just now
is agreed in support of Chang Kai
Shek, moderate Nationalist, Japan has
abandoned Chang Tso-lin, war lord of
Manchuria and now controlling Pek-
ing. Coolidge suspects Chang of be-
ing still the radical he professed to be
when he took Shanghai, and is feeling
his way SO slowly the other powers
have beat the U. s. in forming alli-
ances with the new war lord.
Japan is moving troops in Shantung
to protest Japanese nationals and
japanese properties from attack at the
hands of the northern chief Chang
Tso-lin and Chang Tsung- Chang -

from Picking would seem to indicate

the Union. Sub-manufacturers had
little interest in the issue of reorgani-
cation of shops, since very few Of
them employ the IS workers that the
Governors Commission had made the
perquisite of the discharge privilege.
To have called a strike against the
iobbers alone would have been to
abandon the "inside shops" to reor-
ganization, a forty-four hour week in
stead of the forty asked for, very small
wage increases, no recognition for de-
signers or examiners. Furthermore a
strike against the jobbers for the
theory of '1imitation of contractors"
could not have been conducted sue
cessfully without the additional de-
mands of higher wages, shorter hours,
time guarantee, and so forth, that
make a more popular appeal to the
workers. Finally the character of the
industry is such that only a General
Strike of all branches can be carried
on successfully, since it would be i'm
possible to keep inside shops" from
manufacturing for jobbers, and so
converting many workers into scabs
and seriously Gripping the effective
ness of the strike.
Calling of the Strike
On June 20, the Joint Board called
a mass meeting of the membership in
Madison Square Garden to consider
the situation. Morris Sigman, Presi-
dent of the international, Hugh
Frayne, New York Organizer Of the
American Federation of Labor, Sgd
ney Hillman, President of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers, and many
other Right Wing leaders were pres
emit, and spoke strongly in favor of
strike. kilograms were read from
President William Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and other
high labor officials, promising sup
port. The thousands of cloakmakers
in Madison Square Garden voted to
strike. On July l, the strike, that had
been voted by the membership in 1924,
ratified at the conventions of 1924
and 1925, approved by the General
Executive Board, the Joint Board, and
the Executive Boards for all the To-
Gals, was finally called.
When the machinery of the strike
was organized, the leaders of the In
ternational were given the Chairman
ships of the Finance, the Settlement,
the Out-of- Town, and the Law Com
nittees, and membership on all other
Committees, so that the strike actu-
ally was carried on jointly by the
Right and Left Wings.

SIR have the homer to request
you to transmit the following to your
Government
The Soviet Government takes cog
nizance of the contents Of the note
handed yesterday to Rosengolz, Sow
let Union Charge D. Affairs in Lon
don communicating termination by
the British government Of the trade
agreement of 1921 and the suspension
Of diplomatic relations between the
U. S, S. r. and Great Britain. This
decision was no surprise for the Sow
let Government. 1t knew since long
ago that a rupture in the relations
with u S. S. r. was being prepared
by all. 1t was indicated by the policy
of the British government which de-
clined all propositions of the Soviet
government toward rc-adjustment of
mutual relations and negotiations.
British Charges False.
The Soviet Government once more
emphatically rejects all charges of
violating on any occasion the trade
agreement of 1921 as absolutely
proofless and entirely unfounded. The
only source of those charges as was
again and again undeniably estab-
lished is false information drawn from
white emigrant sources end forged
documents wherewith the British gov
eminent freely cooperated throughout
the period Of the existence Of relations
between it and the Soviet govern
ment. The fact that the search of the
Trade Delegation which was most
carefully made during several days
yielded no results is the most con-
vincing proof of the loyalty and the
correctness of the officials of the
U. S. S. r. The Soviet Government
scornfuily passes by the insinuations
of the British Ministers regarding
espionage by the Trade Delegation and
deems it unworthy Of reply.
Britain Violates Agreement.
The Soviet Government states that
the British government had no legal
ground either for the first violation
of the Trade Agreement of 1921
namely the police raid on extra ter
ritorial premises of the Soviet Off
cial agents or the second violation,
namely the termination of the Agree
ment. The termination of this agree
ment without the six months notice
provided thereby is evidence to the
whole world that the fundamental
cause of the rupture is the defeat of
the Conservative governments policy
in China and the attempt to mask
this defeat by diversion directed
against the Soviet Union, while the
direct reason is the British govern
ment's desire to divert public opinion
from the failure of the absurd police
raid on ARGOS, Ltd. and trade dele
cation and in order to save the Brit
ish Home Secretary from the scandal

The General Strike


The General Strike
There has been much misunder-
standing as to the calling and the
conduct of the Cloalmakers General
strike,--a misunderstanding that has
been purposely fostered by the Right
Wing leaders. In spite of the fact
that the strike was conducted jointly
by the Right and Left Wings, they
have charged that it was "lost by the
Communists" and have made this an
excuse for Selling control Of the Joint
Board and the four locals for another
reorganization.
The Demands
The demands for which the strike
was fought were formulated by the
officers of the International, or Right
Wing, in 1924, more than year be-
fore the present Left Wing admins
tration in the Joint Board was voted
into power. They were approved by
the membership in a general referen-
dunn in that year. In spite Of the vote
of the membership to strike for the
demands, President Sigman presented
them to a Commission appointed by
Governor Smith.
At the end of two years, when the
Governors Commission finally re-
ported, it was clear that the Union
could not accept its terms, since the
report rejected the most vital de
mands of the Union. 1t recommended
only very small wage increases, and
ignored the workers plea for forty
hour week Moreover, it gave to the
employers the right which they had
long sought of discharging ten per
cent of their workers every year with
cut cause. This reorganization of
shops" with all it's resultant speed
up systems and iscri M n a n
against active Union workers, could
not be accepted by the Union without
a struggle Only one point of the
Unions demands was reported on
favorably, namely that the number Of
sub-manufacturer working for any
one jobber should be limited, so as to
force the jobbers to assume response
bility for Union conditions in the
shops of their contractors. This was
a measure long desired by the Union,
nut the iobbers, representing seventy
five per cent of the industry, refused
to accept the report of the Commits
sion of this point, making a strike in
evitable Since the report was so I'M
favorable to the workers on every
other point, the Union found that it
had nothing to gain and much TO lose
by accepting it, and that a strike must
be called in the entire industry.
It has been suggested that strike
should have been called only against
the jobbers, although such course
would have been impracticable in the
extreme. The two main points at is
sue were the Limitation of contract
ors," which the Union hoped to get
from the jobbers, and the "reorgani-
cation of shops" which the inside
manufacturers" hoped to get from
