German Press SCOTS
At Chamberlain Pose
OF Angel Of Peace"

BERLIN, June Is. (By Mall THE
capitalist press in London has been
very positive in its descriptions of the
Swing away from Russia" of the
German press. Yet here is what
"Vorwaerts" says-the Socialist or
gan which has been consistently and
venomously anti-Soviet in its policy:
"The British Tory Government as
sures the world that it does not want
war, or even an interruption of
AngloRussian trade. 1t reminds one
of the wartime cartoon of Wilhelm
II. on his knees before a soldiers
grave, saying, 4 did not want this !"
Britain's Mailed Fist
The "Vossische Zeitung," again
liberal and strongly anti Bolshevik),
writes: "The British Government
must realise that the Russian note to
Poland has found wide echo in world
public opinion. 1t touches certain
chords in the European soul which
vibrate easily when England is ac-
cused.
"The Treaty of Tirana would never
have been concluded without British
sanction, and what good does it do
now that it has led to grave trouble,
for Britain to pose as an angel of
peace? If the weak and timid in
Europe dared to utter their COM
plants, the present British rulers
would not hear anything very pleas
ant"
Voikov's Murder.
The Social democratic (anti-Bol-
shevik) organ in Vienna, "Arbeiter
Zeitung,' writes: "The responsibility
for the murder of Voikov by mon
archist falls on Chamberlain. :.
If a Conservative Minister breaks
open safes and steals other peoples
documents, why should not Russian
counter revolutionary resort to his
revolver? A diplomatic act in Lon
don becomes murderer's shot in
Warsaw"

Indian Workers in
Solid Labor Front
Win Madras Strike

MADRAS, June l. (By Mail)-The
strike of Indian workers employed by
the Burma Oil Company in Madras
came to an end on May 16 on terms
which mean a practical victory for
the strikers.
A week previously, unarmed strik-
ers had been shot down by the COM
rany's officials. Lorries with petrol
tried to pass through a strikers
meeting, and the way being barred,
the company officials opened fire and
some belonging to the Volunteer
Guard" charged the crowd. Eighteen
workers were wounded.
General Strike Threat.
This only strengthened the spirit
of the men. The next day the strike
extended to the Standard Oil Com
pany and to the Asiatic Petroleum
Company. The press reported that
practically all labor in oil companies
in Madras had been withdrawn. The
price of petrol nearly doubled owing
to the shortage.
On May 10Th representatives of all
Labor unions in Madras met and de-
cided to support the strike in every
way, and considered the question of
calling general strike in Madras.
Under this threat the company
gave way. The terms agreed on in
clude: (I the reinstatement of the
ia men whose summary dismissal
caused the strike; (2) the restoration
of benches in the workshops; (3) re-
storation of two anna wage cut of
a group of twenty men. Only the
demand for an all-round one anna
wage increase was held over.
The Burma Oil Company is a Brit
ish company, of which the Annual
General Meeting was held in Glas-
gov last week. The chairman, Sir
John I. Cargill, reported that during
the past year the profits had in
creased to f2,47s,00O. He regretted
that 'in view of the uncertain petro-
leum market the board does not feel
justified in recommending a larger
final dividend than 20 per cent"
With the interim dividend of 10 per
cent this makes 30 per cent for the
year; or. since there was also dis
tribution of bonus shares, the equiva-
lent Of 40 per cent on the old capital!

Palestinian demonstrators were vici-
ously attacked, and large number
