tivities against the party and the

ger that threatens the Soviet

United Observation-Disclosures.

SHANGHAI, July 28.-In spite Of
press reports to the effect that a
drive is contemplated by the treacher-
Gus Wuhan government against Nan
king, the workers and peasants are
preparing to carry on a fight against
Wuhan as well as Marking, knowing
that the published statements of Tang
Shen-shi are absolutely contrary to
the actions and policy of the Wuhan
government. Undoubtedly there is
much bad blood between Chang Kali
shek and Wuhan because Chang is
heartily distrusted and is known to
be self-seeking, adventurous and IN
reliable. But then so are the Wuhan
gang who have gone over to the big
capitalists and are now playing the
game Of the imperialists.
Assail Reactionary Front.
The Central Committee of the
Young Communist League of China
has issued an appeal, in the course of
which is declared that the Chinese
revolution is entering new phase
with Wuhan and Marking as rallying
points for the united counter-revolu-
tionary front. "The Chinese revolu-
tionary Masses" says the appeal, twill
never countenance the bloody regime
of the reactionaries and traitors"
Concluding the document, issued to all
workers and peasants states that "to
militarists united front must be OPP
posed the united revolutionary front
of the toiling masses of the cities and
villages, headed by the Communist
Party, which alone remained true to
the revolution and to the Kuomintang
revolutionary banner. Masses have
learned to rely wholly upon them
selves and with arms in their hands
must overthrow the power of the gen.
erals and landowners, seize the lands,
abolish the gentry and establish their
own dictatorship. In this struggle the
youth must fight in the front ranks
of the revolutionary forces.

GOVERNORS WILL.

COOLIDCE'S BOSS
Want Farm Relief Meet
70 Convince Bankers

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich, July
ga conference of the country's
reputed experts-economic, financial
industr al and agricultural-to con-
slider the existing farm situation and
to try to evolve workable plan of
relief, was being considered seriously
here today by several middle West
governors who have been most vocal
at the annual Governors Conference,
in demanding that something be done
by winter.
The governors discussed quite
frankly the prospects of putting
through the MacNary-Haugen bill
again, or something like it, but de-
cided that though such a bill could
be passed, probably Coolidge would
veto it. 1t is recognized that Cool
idge responds directly to the orders
of the big financial interests of the
East, and they hope to educate these
rather than the president.
They believe if the industrialists
and bankers could be got around the
same table they could speedily be
convinced of the seriousness of the
situation and the need for immediate
action.
The Governors Conference stood
adjourned today, and the remaining
executives embarked from this his
toric spot this morning for a trip
through the upland lake region and
to inspect the locks of the 500. They
will scatter to their homes tonight
following the days outing.

Needle Trade Defense

A group of workers gathered at the
home of Brother L. Freilich last Sat-
urday night. They were under the
imp ession that the concert would not
take place due to the rain. Later
they learned that it would take place
but as they were far from the Stadium
they decided not to attend.
They knew, however, that the af-
fair in the Coney Island Stadium was
not a capitalist enterprise; that every
penny would be used for the arrested
cloakmakers and furriers. So they
not only paid for their tickets but they
also made a collection of $40 which
they forwarded to the Defense Com
mittee.
Only when other workers follow
this example will the financial result
of the Coney Island Stadium be a
success! You must remember that the
sooner you settle for the Stadium
tickets, the more successfully will we
carry on our work.
