MOSCOW, Dec. IN. Bukhar-

Friday:
"The tremendous impetus of the

The Chinese revolution is not
crushed; it is not dead, but devel-

forms of the Chinese revolution, as
all the revolutionary forces of the

PROBE OF HEARST
STORIES seen AS
CRUDE FRAME up
Seek to Learn Secrets
of Mexico

WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-The in
PRODUCTION of resolution to inves-
tigate the story of bribery of United
States senators by the Mexican gov
ernment introduced by Senator David
A. Reed, old guard Mellon republican
of Pennsylvania, is meeting with op-
position from the representatives of
the Mexican government. From un-
official .safcsss it is learned that the
Mexicans consider the proposed in
vestigation merely pretext to Sc
cure information regarding the Mex
ican government that will be of inter
est to the imperialists of the United
States.
The whole Hearst series of articles
against Mexico is known to be based
upon forged and fake documents of
the calibre familiar to the Hearst
chain of papers. However, their pub
lication may serve as preteXt to try
to learn secrets of the Gales admin
istration that have not yet been learn
ed through the regular spying activi-
ties of American agents in Mexico.
Would Question Elias.
One of the subpoenas issued by the
senate is for Arturo Elias, Mexican
financial agent in New York, through
whose hands the money is alleged to
have passed. The Mexican embassy
considers that Elias has diplomatic
standing and is immune to subpoenas,
but contrary view is taken by some
senator's.
Consular officials and other en-
ployes of foreign governments are
not exempt from summons except
where it is so specified in treaties, ac-
cording to senate authorities. No
such treaty exists with Mexico. To
this contention the Mexican embassy
replies that it is established prac-
tise" to consider consular officers in
the same class with other accredited
diplomats.

been guiding the police in building up
the murder charge against Calogero
Greco and Donate Carrillo was made
yesterday morning in Bronx County

"There has been a relentless, re-

murder which they are unable to
solve," said Hays in his speech to the
jury.

Hays spoke after Assistant Attor-

ments with the union.
Violation of the injunction recently
obtained against Local 41 by the

strikers yesterday who were picket
ing the shops of the Harrison Pleat-

The cases of four Workers (Com-

week for distributing anti-injunction
leaflets were postponed until next
Monday by Magistrate Iota in the

terday.
"Anti-labor injunctions are threat
ening to paralyze the entire labor
movement in America" said Rose
Baron, secretary of the New York
section of the International Labor De-
fense which is conducting the defense.
"The international Labor Defense" ,"
she said, will bail and defend any
other workers arrested for demanding
their rights to organize. The charge
against the men who distributed the
leaflets has been de-
fined as conspiring to undermine re-
spect for the courts of law If the
courts must resort to such methods in
order to bully workers into submis-
sion, then we are pretty well on the
road to a Mussolini dictatorship.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 12.-The ar
rogant and final refusal of the coal
operators to take part in the joint
conference proposed under federal aus
pices, and which constituted a Cool
idge gesture aimed to placate the min
ers, has brought home with smashing
force to the rank and file here the
bankruptcy of the official policy of
appealing to the state and national
government.
Even former supporters of John
L. Lewis realize now that the time
has come for the union to Fighter
be eXterminated.
Call for General Strike.
Sentiment for a general strike is
increasing steadily. Local Union $40
at Portage, District 2, Central Penn
sylvania, where thousands of miners
and their families are on the verge
of starvation, has sent out a resolu-
ton to all local unions in the district
asking for joint action in demanding
that President Lewis call strike in
all coal fields unless a settlement is
reached by Dec. is.
Follow Mellon Lead
All important coal companies have
followed the lead of the Pittsburgh
Coal Company and Pittsburgh Ter
minal Company in regard to the pro-
posed conference. All the companies
adopt the attitude of the Mellon con-
Germs in ignoring the union as a fac
tor in the situation.
S. H. Robbins, president of the
Ohio Coal Operators Association
wired. "We will not meet with rep
resentatives of the United Mine
Workers with whom we have no con-
tract and with whom we have severed
all relations and who have no inter
est in the properties we control"

Annear Continues Strikebreaking.
Chairman Annear promptly an
nounced that half of the men had
gone back to work in the northern
fields, doubling the widest claims of
the militia who always had figures
by wide margin. Annear has shown
himself an Intellectual but determined
strikebreaker during the controversy
but is not intelligent enough to cause
a real break in the ranks.
The strikers who believe the Com
mission will be afraid to give a de-
cision as bad as in the past and are
confident that victory is near, would
not consider scabbing after almost
ten weeks of wonderful solidarity.

The attempt Of General Chang
Fak-wei, who set up an anti
working class government in
Canton several weeks ago, to re-
capture the city we're frustrated
when the Seamen's Union called
a strike which tied up boat and
rail service.
Take Over Offices.
Armed peasants and workers with
red bands on their sleeves are pa
trolling the streets of the city pre-
pared to meet any counter-revolt. All
Of the offices of the government
have been taken over Committees of
workers and peasants are in full con-
troll Of the offices of the Kuomintang,
the Department of Finance and Mill
tary Affairs. All telephone, tele-
graph and railway stations are in the
hands of the workers.
In a proclamation posted thruout
Canton, reports state, General Ii
Chai-sun, reactionary leader, Wang
Chin-wei and General Chang Fax
wei are denounced as traitors to the
revolution. The proclamation an
nounced that the workers and pea
SAINTS had taken over control of the
city.
The Red peasants, workers and
soldiers are the only ones who can
protect the masses" the proclamation
stated.
Maintain Order.
The workers took the city after
bitter six hour struggle which started
at four o'clock this morning. Hun
dreds were killed and wounded in the
fighting. Armed patrols of workers
maintained perfect order in the city
after its capture and prevented loot
ing.
Officials of the government set up
by General Chang Fak-wei several
weeks ago are reported to have fled
to Honan Island.
HONGKONG, Dec. 12.-According
to advices reaching here of the "red"
revolt in Canton, the revolutionists
have not interfered with or molested
the foreigners in the city.
The capture of Canton by armed
, workers and peasants end at present
the hope of the counter-revolutionary
group headed by Wang Chin-wei to
set up a government at Canton. Ths
session of the Central Executive Com
mittee of the Kuomintang, just closed,
clearly revealed that General Chang
Fakwei, who had taken the city from
General Ii Chai-sum several weeks
ago, was backing Wang Chin-wei and
that the whole basis of the Shanghai
conference was a program of exter-
mination of the workers and peasants'
organizations.
General Ii Chai-sum, who was
driven from Canton by Chang Fax
wei, represented the interests of the
