British Representative Recalled

SHANGHAI, May 17.-Basil New

at Hankow, is reported to have been
recalled. This is regarded by OBJ

die-hard disapproval of the Hankow
Government.

Marine Workers Get
Wage Cuts as Union
Weakened by Bosses

Hundreds of barges that are usu-
ally engaged in the transport of coal
are laid up along the New York water
front due to the existing slump in
the purchasing Of domestic coal.
This situation is throwing the men
who man these barges out Of jobs,
and depriving them of the home that
is usually provided for them on these
floating direlects.
In addition, the Barge and Boat
Owners and Contractors of Greater
New York seem to have united on a
common tyrranical policy in the ex-
pulsion Of the union men wherever
possible. A general layoff of Union
men and their replacement by non
union workers is taking place.
Import Scabs.
Sailors and seamen as well as gen.
eral marine and transport workers
are being recruited to take the place
of the union workers at far lower
rates and under inferior working con-
ditions. The union scale is hundred
dollars a month and overtime. These
new recruits are being paid an aver
age of eighty dollars month for
harder labor.
In this way the contractors and
barge owners are trying to break
the spirit Of the workers. They are
seamen against bargemen in
their greed and rush for greater and
greater profits at the expense Of the
waterfront worker.
This condition is due to the exist
ing unemployment in the marine in
dustry. Consequently a sailor or a
fireman who has been on the beach
for few months and has reached
the end of his endurance is willing
to scab on his fellow workers in the
marine industry. Of course this
state of affairs would never be in
existence if their were strong or
ganization to look after the rights of
the men,
But as it is the great majority Of
the men are unorganized and are not
class conscious enough to see the
necessity of a strong organization.
The task Of raising the class con-
seriousness Of this vast mass Of sail
lors and harbors workers to the stage
where they will unite in one strong
union that viii look after their eco
monte demands is yet to be accom-
plished.
The Church As a Strike-Breaker.
Another interesting phase is the
fact that most Of the new recruits
that are taking the place of the
union workers are procured thru the
mendium Of the Seamen's Church In
stitute. This organization which is
presumably in Existence for the bene-
fit of the seaRen receives support
from some of the biggest shipping
interests and corporations in the
United States.

Inhuman Conditions

1--WE want to show the lives of the
working men Of China. Those lives,
we believe, are the best explanation
Of the so-called labor unrest. It is
true that industries must not be
strangled, but it is also true that most
of the industries of China could
be reorganized in such way that tots
of seven and eight would not work
for II hours a day in dark factories
for few patty cents, and that tired,
worn women would not sit all day
over steaming tables in silk factories
while their babies cry from discom-
fort and hunger, or mercifully sleep,
in baskets of rags, under the ma
chimes.
"If to ask for a reorganization
which would eliminate these evils is
to be dangerous, subversive to the in
terests of investors in China, then this
paper, and the Nationalist movement
as a whole, are dangerous agents. But
by the foreigners, if not by the Chi
nese employers of labor, we feel that
such a condemnation cannot be made
without some sense of guilt, for every
foreigner in China knows that such
conditions as exist in the mills of
China are unthinkable in his home
land"
Then follows matter-of-fact de-
seription Of trip through four mills
in Hankow, with photographs of
groups Of little ehild-workers en-
ployed u hours daily in an unhealthy
atmosphere, at hard tasks.

policy of silence, which was due to
confession by E. L. Doheny, that he
had delivered 100000 to Fall, Sin

a professional strike-breaking organ

signed by Silas F. Axtel, lawyer
who attached himself to the delega-
ton during its stay in Europe.
Albert F. Coyle, speaking for the
delegation, said that it would be a
pleasure to accept the challenge, the
only difficulty being that he did not
know how many of the delegation in
succession Mr.. Axtel wished to take

Axtel, since his return to America,

not carefully applied"
State Department Interested.
In the state department a wholly
different phase of the Soviet an
Ynouncement is studied-the question
of its effect on social unrest in other
countries of Europe, and eventually on
the working class in the western
hemisphere. For eight years, now, the
eight-hour convention drawn up at the
Washington conference of the Inter
national Labor Organization of the
League of Nations has been struggling
for notifications in the parliaments Of
the several countries. Thus far it has
not been applied in any of the great
industrial nations, although Germany,
France, Italy and Belgium have ap-
preached that point. Trade unions
have fought consistently for the g.
hour day, and general laws regulating
hours have been enacted in Germany,
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Spain,
Finland, FRANCE, Greece, Italy, Lat
via, Lithuania, Norway, Netherlands,
Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Yugoslavia,
Czechoslovakia, and part of Rumania
There are laws covering certain indus
tries in most of the other countries Of
Europe.
But a 7-hour day, decreed by gov
eminent which holds power for the
organized workers and speaks in their
name, is worlds away from the piece
meal concessions wrested from capt.
talist lawmakers and whitfield away
by their courts or brushed aside by
powerful employers. 1t becomes at
once the most insidious and pervasive
argument that the Soviet revolution
has offered to the workers outside the
Soviet Republic.
Soviet Workers Have Advantage.
Latest statistics from the Interna-
tional Labor Office at Geneva show
that the workers in Great Britain who
have been waiting since 1919 for rati-
fication of the Washington 8-hour con-
yention total 11,69O,287. Those in
Germany number 11,810,000; in
France 5,494,OO0; in Hungary about
100000; in Czechoslovakia 2,O99,00O;
in Poland 100000; in Sweden 1,179,-
900: in Rumania about 100000; in
Holland 1,011. 700; in Belgium 1,431,-
900; in Italy 5,470,O00; in Finland
l22,000; in Ireland 225,O0O; in Greece
208,000; in Austria 1,12S,OOO; in Den
mark $4,000; in Spain 100000, and
SO on.
These millions of workers, their
hopes of short workday too long
deferred or denied, are the critical
human material in either peace or
civil war in Europe. Factory equip
ment in most Of their countries is
better than in Russia. Politicians fear
that they will now challenge capital
st Europe to give them the 7-hour
day.
