ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN.
The organization of women workers is one of the
most pressing of China's industrial problems Wo-
men and children more and more entering
industry, in order to supplement the insufficient
earnings of the father of the family; and the fact
that IN general they receive even lower wages helps
to depress the rates of the men workers
At present, where they are organized at all, they
appear to be organized with the men worlers-and
that is chiefly in the textile industry in Shanghai
True, in Canton | was told of trade union which
had been in existence for two monts which organ
lied the women in match factory together with
the men; and of Women's union in a stocking fac
tory, claiming 200 members, which is said to have
been in existence for three years. But these are
tiny numbers compared with the employed in
the cotton mills and silk filatures. In Shanghai,
there are said to be $4,000 workers employed in
textile factories, of whom ST TOO were stated to be
organized in the cotton unions affiliated to the
Shanghai Federation of Labor Unions AS more than
90 per cent of these cotton workers were said to
be women it is to be presumed that some of the
organized workers women, but I could not OBJ
tain any specific figures
Probably, also, some of the women employed by
the Chnese-owned Nanyang Bros. Tobacco Co. are
among those who organized in Yellow unions
in Shanghai, about 70 per cent of the 5000 work
ers employed by this company in Shanghai are
apparently women
In Shanghai the secretaries of both the Red and
Yellow Union Federations stated that there was no
organization at all among the silk workers of whom
there are $4,000, mostly women and girls I was
told that at time trade union was organized
in the silk filatures by Chinese woman worker
She was soon taken by the Chinese employers

= Canton is also the head
quarters of the Canton Fed
Grafton of Peasants Unions.
This organization was in the
early part of 1926 more or
less confined to the prov
inces of Kwangtung and
Kwangsi, but it's influence
was extending to other prov
inceS.
The organization of the
Peasants Unions is as fol-
lows: The peasants and
small farmers in a village
are organized in one unit.
These units are grouped lii
towns, districts and prov
inces. If more than one-third
of the farmers join the union,

then they form a branch In small villages where
there are less than 80 members, they cooperate with
an adjoining village. Larger areas are sometimes
divided into ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Mr.. Wang, secretary and member of the execu-
2 tive of the Federation of Peasants Unions, IN
formed me that there are sc districts comprising
10000 members The villagers hold mass meetings,
the larger organizations delegate meetings. On the
central executive committee there Is members.
There is also a standing committee of five and in
the districts standing committees of three. Pro-
vsncial congresses held annually district con-
crosses every six. months, congresses IN sections
smaller than districts every three months and vii
lage meetings every month Members of the central
executive committee hold office for year, Of
fcias of district committees for six months and
others for three months.
The conditions for membership are as follows:
Members
Must own less than 100 NOW of land (roughly
less than IL acres of land).
Unjust not be farmers whose interests conflict
with the peasants.
3-Must not be moneylenders who mortgage
farms
Must not be "churchmen"
5.-Must not have connections with mpeEiaGsts.
The entrance fee is 81 Il told sometimes less).
There is maximum monthly fee of 10 cents. Those
who smoke opium gamble excluded. I asked
Mr.. Wang, the secretary, how they could know
this. He replied that it easily known to the
village circle it, for instance, anyone was an habit
ual gambler Persons who &c ~ attend three
meetings those who refuse TO v-~y the orders of
the party, are expelled
The chief points in the program of the Peasants
Union
Ito obtain better conditions for the peasants
and small farmers.
ITO improve village organizations, which are
in the hands of the landlords.
3.To raise the social status of the peasants and
small farmers.
The farmers in hwangtung, the province in which
Canton is situated divided in two: those who
are independent and those who are tenants of the
landlords Their condition is very bad on account of
the bandits who infest the territory and also as a
result of the fighting.
The organizers of the Peasants Union stated as
regards the economic status of the peasants and
small farmers, that the average size of the small
farm belonging to an independent farmer was from
2 to NOW (one-third to and one-third acres)
One NOW is said to produce about $50 per annum
so that the independent peasant farmer NAV get
between $50 and $240, that is between sc and e24
from his farm per year. The rent of these small
farms often swallows up as much as one-half to
two-thirds of the revenue
Not very long ago the provincial office of the
peasant organizations had just two old tables COW
cred with papers in disorder, some rickety chairs a
poor desk and poorly paid copyist who. having
too much to do could finish nothing When visited
the headquarters of the Peasants Union in Nav

WILLIAMS DOUBLE
WINNER AT TENNIS

r. Norris Williams, the "perfect
amateur" of the American tennis nets,
so-called because of his serene tempera-
ment, claimed top honors in both the
singles and doubles events of the
Chevy Chase invitation tournament
yesterday afternoon.
Paired with Watson Washburn, he
defeated Manuel Alfonso and Samuel
Hardy for the doubles crown in a bril-
liant five-set encounter, GO, ST,
c., 4-6, IS.
In the singles, he downed Alfonso,
SIS, Ga. This event was unofficial,
but added much to the pleasure of
the large gallery attending the
matches.
Williams and washburn, defending
their title won at Chevy Chase last
year, opened up an offensive In the
first set against the Alfonso Hardy pair
which netted them a decisive victory
at GO. After slowing down momen-
tarily in the second, they resumed the
lead in the third.
With brilliant smashes and side line
drives, Alfonso and Hardy increased
their pace to take the offensive in the
fourth, and, with the score 81
against them in the fifth, again ral-
lied to even the count. Here, the
famous teamwork of the champions
proved the deciding factor. They
checked the invaders rally and pushed
to the net, annexing the next two
games and the match in a spectacular
exhibition of court tactics.
Williams and Alfonso furnished fur
ther thrills in the final singles en-
counter. The Spanish ace, obviously
tired after his gruelling doubles bat
tie, fought determinedly, but Williams
steady pounding finally wore him
down.
In the morning, Alfonso had disposed

The Nationals continued their at.

vanced them via the bunt route, and
after Rice's fly let Bluege in, Ruel
also counted when Harris rified a
double down the left field line.
Lundgren Also Is Solved.

Lundgren got along swimmingly for
a couple of innings. but was nicked
for tally in the fifth when his un
Steadiness proved a factor. Goslin
started with line drive against the

wild pitch that put Goose on third

sively during another brace of rounds,
but was victimized for an addi-

paved the way with a double over the
far corner and Ruel was credited with
a bingle when his bounder dribbled off
Lundgren's upstretched finger tips.
Lisenbee again successfully essayed
the suicide act and Rice's fly to Jacob
