TSCHAIKOWSKY ANDANTE
SYMPHONY FEATURE

This evening the big moment OF

during the concert of the New York

Damrosch can. and will undoubt-
eddy, interpret this composition Of
unusual beauty. and musical charm,

feature of the evening.
However lit will need be Wei
done to compete with the "Fingals

Imperialist Role is Decisive in Chinese Mass
Murders, Says Chicherin

"The savage acts cannot remain I'M
punished"
HANKOW, China, Dec. 23.-Four
Chinese Communists were executed
here last night. One was said to have
been the leader of the recent Red up
rising in Tungshan, thirty miles from
Hankow, a fortnight ago. In the up
rising he captured the city and estab-
lished a peasants government.
Twelve Russian women who were
arrested recently have been released,
but number of Russian men are still
being held.
The agent of the Russian Dahl Bank
at Hankow was brought to army
headquarters and tried. The decision
of the tribunal was not announced.
1t is generally believed that he and
two other Russians who were brought
in handcuffed to him will be executed.
Several more labor union headquar-
ters have been closed. Their leaders
have been arrested and charged with
Communism. They are being held in
Jail for trial.

NEW COAL BURNER TYPE

According to the report of Com

Navy Department the trip of the

received considerable attention from
representatives of European countries
who inspected the ship and it's method
of propulsion when it locked at Rot

by the Shipping Board, in view of the
report on the Mercer experiment, to
install equipment for the burning of
pulverized coal in four freighters.

Kind New Orleans Has
Cheap Toys for Kids

(Contanued from Page -One)
their parents along with them. Yet
true to Southern custom, they were
kept separated. Not even charity
must be received together. The poor
starved white children must gather in
the park one day; the poor starved
black children must come the next
day. And so is the social order pre-
served.
Cheap Labor.
So also is it possible for Southern
Chambers of Commerce to advertise
that the South has an abundance of
skilled labor that never strikes. 1t
is white labor-1he fathers and
mothers, sisters and brothers of
those haggard youngsters at the
Christmas tree. They work twelve
hours a day in the factories. They
never organize. They never strike.
If there is breath of discomfort, the
employers threaten the introduction of
Negro labor. That settles the mat
ter. He continues to slave and starve
without further protest.
High Death Rate.
New Orleans boasts that it's death
rate is only II per thousand that is
not counting colored people. If they
are included, the rate leaps to rs per
thousand. No doubt if the division
were between middle class and work
ers, regardless of color, the 25 rate
would apply to black and white
workers alike. At least that is what
a sight Of their children indicates.
But very skillfully the bosses per-
petuate the legend that the world is
divided, not into workers and ex-
ploiters, but into races-black and
white and yellow and brown. They
encourage these poor white slaves to
believe they are different and better
than the black slaves; and thus the
supply of docile skilled labor con-
tinues.
l wonder how long it will take
the white workers to wake up.

About three weeks ago, the Central

take up the question of miners re-
