HANKOW YIELDS
TO TI0N
WITHOUT FIGHT
Talk While the Gener-
ais Stage Coup

MOSCOW, July 25.-SpeciaI corre-
spondence in an article in Isvestia
describing the Hankow coup de etat
reports that this coup was effected
gradually and was in the nature of
a petty bourgeois democratic change
without outward events, the revolu-
tionary order yielded place to mill
tarist order, the situation is still far
from representing bourgeois "order."
The definite rupture was preceded
by preparation in the press with the
Kuomintang leaders criticising Marx
ism in the styles of students essays.
Ku Meng-Yu, Wang Ching-Wei and
Sun-Fo demontrated their theory
that Communist tendencies are des-
ruptive by quoting Dostoevsky and
Bakunin, they blamed ''bad labor
leaders" and swore to their own 10y
atty to the mass workers and pea
SAINTS movement. This radical pratt
tie and noise masked the reactionary
coup, at meetings and demonstrations
the demand was put forward for i'm
mediate action against Chang Kai-
shek, the traitor to the mass move
ment.
Troops Occupy City.
Under cover of this shameless
masquerading the Generals silently
and rioiselessly pursued their deed,
General Ho-Chen's troops spread
thruout the city, occupied the prem
ises of labor organizations. These
troops had covered themselves with
infamy by suppressing the peasant
movement in Changsha. The work
'ers also quietly left She stage without
giving in to provocation. The trade
unions daily becomes more depleted
and the active workers disappeared
underground

France and Germany
Conclude Low Tariff
Commercial Agreement

PARIS, July 24.-France and Ger
many have at last concluded COM
mercial agreement establishing lower
tariff rates between the two coun-
tries. 1t is expected that large in
crease in trade will follow the con-
clusion of the treaty.
Commercially, it is expected that
the treaty will increase the exports of
French wines and automobiles to Ger
many and will boost the export of
German chemicals and machines to
France.
Politically, the treaty indicates a
closer alliance between the two coun-
tries, for which BRAND has worked
and which Poincare has balked. 1t
may also put a crimp in the recent
overtures by the French for British
friendship.

BRITISH TORY
PRESS ASSAILS
U. S. AT Geneva
Churchill Gets a Chill
Over Crisis

LONDON, July 24.-The British
tory press is completely modified in
defense of the course of the dele
gates to the tri-partite naval confer
ence that reached a deadlock at Gen
eva after just forty-five minutes in
session on the first day. The game
is to try to save the faces of the
tory gang by throwing the blame for
the failure of the farce upon the
United States.
It is recognized in London that the
aftermath will be either cheap, cas-
lily perforated compromise that even
a child can detect, or an outbreak of
recrimination between the United
States and Britain. Hugh Gibson, the
chief of the American delegation, has
already severely publicly criticized the
British chief, Bridgeman, and both
groups are still berating each other
privately in preparation for the open
break; which will be the signal for
the loosening of the campaign of
propaganda between the two Anglo
Saxon nations, who are fighting each
other for domination of the rest of
the world.
Churchill Gets a Chill.
With the Hon. w. c. Bridgeman and
his associates here, it was thought
that the foreign secretary, Winston
Churchill, would avail himself of the
opportunity to address the house of
commons tomorrow, but indications
today are that he will not appear. The
excuse is that he is i'll, having suf-
fered from a severe chill after the
arrival of the Geneva delegates.

The dismissal of an employee for at

would warrant immediate action,
union officials declared.

the traction workers if strike is de-
clared, it has been stated.
The spirit with which the men are
welcoming the organization drive is
indicated by the fact that more than
three hundred workers filed applica-
tions for membership in the union.
The rapidity with which the men are
joining the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electrical Workers be-
lies Hedley's statement that most of
the men favor the company brother

cent of the subway, elevated and sur

strike call when it comes, according
to J. H. Coleman.

GREEN EXPOSED
BY VENEZUELAN
LABOR DELEGATE
Z. S. Masses Victims
of Imperialism

WASHINGTON, July William
Green's subserviency to American
imperialism received a singing re-
buke yesterday after the close of the
sessions of the congress of the Pan
American Federation of Labor in the
statement issued by the Venezuelan
delegate, Ricardo Martinez. The Pan
American Federation is used by it's
leaders to forward the interests of
American Imperialism, just as the
Pan-American union is an instrument
for Wall Street propaganda. When
Green stifled criticism of the gov
ernment's repacious policy in the
Latin-American countries he avoided
being assailed effectively as he
would otherwise have been. But Mar
tinez issued a statement that accused
Green of concealing rather than ex-
posing American imperialism In
reply to charge that he had in
suited the American people in his
attack upon the application of the
Monroe doctrine in Latin America,
Martinnez issued the following state
ment:
American Workers Victims.
81 consider the American masses
just as much victims of Imperialism
as the oppressed peoples all over the
world.
Ear from disparaging the Ameri-
can people, believe that we workers
of Latin America have the most inti-
mate interest in common with the
workers of the United States, ard
that it is necessary to establish the
closest possible relationship in order
to fight shoulder to shoulder against
the imperiaiist oligarchy of Wall
Street and Washington that op-
presses us.
Unless the Pan n-American Fedora
tion of Labor, or any other organi-
cation claiming to represent the in
terests of the workers, makes de-
termined fight against American i'm
perialism on the whole line it will
not justify it's existence.
at is because l believe Mr.. Green
has helped to conceal rather than ex-
pose American imperialism and to
avoid concreted fight on it that l
spoke as | did. Every sincere Latin
American worker and every forward
looking worker in the United States
will approve my stand"

president Hedley of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit company
will ignore mayor Walkers invita-
ton for a joint conference with the
officials of the Amalgamated union
representing the employees and the
mayor representing the so-called pub
lie. Hedley speaks defiantly like a
man who knows that he belongs TO
the ruling class that runs this little
burg of ours. The labor leaders do
not speak in similarly defiant tones.
They are apologetic, tho approx
mately $4,000 workers who run the
subways, elevated and surface lines
are behind them.

he said, "this company will continue

Long Preparation.
The company has long been pre-
pairing for the strike which seems
inevitable. Scabs are being rushed
into the city by transit officials.
Hard-boiled thugs who parade outside
of the company barns with guns in
their pockets indicate that company
officials will not yield without a
struggle.
Unless a strike call is not forced
sooner by the attitude of the transit
barons the strike call will be voted at
meeting of workers at the Brook
lyn Labor Lyceum, Willoughby ave
nue and Broadway, Brooklyn, tomor-
row.
Militant traction workers when in
terviewed said they are determined
that Frank Hedley's mass picketing
move on Friday will not deter strike
action at the next meeting. Hugh
Frayne, general organizer for the
American Federation Of Labor, arch
denouncer of mass picketing, was
most effectively mass picketed last
Friday night at the Brooklyn meeting
when the l. R. T. and B.-M. T. sur
rounded the hall with hundreds of
spoilers, "beakies" and prevented the
several thousand workers, who came
to attend the meeting, from entering
Workers Expect Strike.
In spite of the fact that all ap-
proaches to the meeting hall were
blockaded by groups of company spot
ters and also in the fact of the fact
that thousands of traction workers
were fearful of running the gauntlet
and thus risking discharge, the fact
remains that the mass of rank ard
file subway workers will respond to
a strike call when it is made. There
is every indication that such a call
will be issued on Tuesday night,
When the strike is called it is to be
hoped that the strike leaders will
benefit by the mass picketing lesson
which Frank Hedley taught them on
Friday. 1t requires strong nerve to
face a mass of pickets.
Hedley Won't Confer.
On Saturday the strike leaders con-
ferred with Mayor Walker at his re-
quest. Although on Friday Walker
said that if the traction presidents
failed to show up in reply to his in
vitation "he would consider it an act
of great discourtesy," they failed to
do so.
The City Hall conference was fruit
full of nothing at all and the confab
postponed until Tuesday. This was to
be expected in view Of the fact that
Walker would not dare to make any
definite move without the explicit
sanction of Tammany Hall--hence the
delay.
That the traction workers are anx-
ious to lock horns with the subway
corporations was evidenced on Fri
day when Edward LAWN, the leader
of last years traction strike was wild
ly cheered when he was called upon
to speak. He urged the men TO or

WILLIAM GREEN and Matthew
w Woll are having their hands full
trying to justify American imperial
ism in Central and South America at
the Pan-American congress in Wash
ington. Those two watchdogs of
Wall Street, bristle like angry pups
whenever the representatives of the
oppressed peoples of Latin America
criticise the brutal policy of Ameri
can Imperialism. We said when this
congress opened that the function of
the Pan American Federation of La
Dor was to serve as labor auxiliary
to the armies and navies of Wall
Street in the Southern half of this
hemisphere. So far the developments
there, have amply proved this con-
tention.
GREEN stands up and bellows in
" defense of the Monroe Doctrine,
which aims to reserve the lions share
of the virgin wealth of the Latin
American countries for the predatory
interests of Wall Street. Woll de-
fends the so-called president of Cuba,
the butcher responsible for the mur
der of hundreds of Cuban trade
unionists. Even tho this monster was
exposed by the American Federation
of Labor as an executioner of labor,
his greetings 20 the congress was ac-
cepted by Woll and Green. This puts
the x-ray on the sincerity of those
labor leaders.
