those slain and wounded by the
British-American bpmbardment Of
Marking as high as 10000. This
figure is contained IN cabled dis
patches reaching New York direct
from China.
L'Humanite, the French Com

places the figure at 1000. The
figures received up to yesterday
had been put at 1000 The report
from Paris is as follows:
PARIS, March 2s.--The murderous
bOmbardment of the unfOrtified city
Marking by the combined war fleets
of the United States and Great Bril-
tain last Thursday killed and wound
ed 1000 unarmed Chinese inhabi-
tants, according to reports published
in the Communist daily, L'Humanite,
official organ of the French Com
munist Party.
Only three or four foreigners were
killed there, it stated, but in revenge
butchery was deliberately carried on
by English and American authorities.
In opening fire with shells from
the warships under the pretense of
protecting their nationals on Socony
Hill of the Standard Oil Company,
the Communist paper said, the open
and densely populated part of the
city was attacked Thousands of vic
tins were torn to pieces in their
homes and thousands Of others poi
soned by asphy1iS sie bombs. while
others were roasted in resultant fires,
it was stated.
"This assassination Of men, women
and children has made deep impress
sion upon the Chinese" Humanite de-
clared. Until now the English alone
were considered by the Chinese as
responsible for such wholesale muir
ders, but they have evidently con-
verted the Kings of Dollars to their
bloody policy"

Row on Purity;
New Job For
Mclaughlin
Attacks on Workers the
Most Brutal Yet

Police Commissioner George V,
Mclaughlin is through. He an
nOunced his resignation yesterday, to
take effect at once. The official rea-
son given by the chief of the city's
police force, which includes the
strikebreaking corps known as the
industrial squad, for leaving the
service" is that he has received a
better paying job in the form of the
vice-presidency of the Postal Tele-
graph Company.
The real basis for the present stir,
however, is found in the fact that
Tammany Hall is somewhat divided
on the question as to whether or not
it shall continue its policy of intimi-
dating some of its own friends, like
Alderman McGuiness of Brooklyn,
who have been making some side
money by running gambling dens in
the Tammany clubs throughout the
city.
The faction which Mclaughlin
represented, in an effort to eradicate
the traditional unsavory reputation
which is associated with the name
"Tammany Hail." embarked on a
purity" campaign which explains to
large extent also the present at
tacks on Broadway plays.

Louis AntOnofsIxy, of local is in
the Tombs today, another victim of a
right wing frame-up. His three small
children are wondering why their
father doesn't come home from work.
Antonofsky was an active picket
during the recent cloakmskers' strike,
but even Judge Otto Rosalsky did not
hold him for Jail term when an en-
ployer charged him with malicious
mischief. In January, Antonofsky was
put on probation for three years. He
went to work in the Meyer Hauser
shop at So West II street, and report
ed regularly to Judge Rosalsky.
Some weeks later, on February %,
Antonofsky was the victim of a
framed up attempt by right wing
sympathizers to put him back in Jail.
He was accused of beating up Morris
Katz, a worker from Reisman Roth

that he could not recognize his as

men known to be sympathetic to the
Joint Board, including Antonofsky and
Aaron Wortuns, who had been at

Wouldn't Hear Evidence.
That the charges against him were
a frame-up is proved by the fact that
he was at work in the Meyer Hansen
shop at the time of the alleged as
sault upon Katz, as is shown by his
time card. In spite of this irrefutable
evidence, Judge Otto Rosalsky before

British Claim U. S. Troops

SHANGHAI, March 29.-China Is
today afire with Indignation over the
Marking massacre news, of which has
now seeped into every part of the
vast area which supports one fourth
of the worlds population.
Thousands of meetings attended
by millions are being held all over

the Infatuated masses to make the
British and American imperialists pay
dearly for the murder of the Nam

Dead Estimated at 10000.
The number Of dead and wounded
as a result of the bombardment is
now estimated at 1000 with the toll
mounting daily.
The Japanese and French not hav-
ing participated in the massacre are
not under the fire Of Chinese anger.
The brunt of the hatred is borne by
the British and Americans.
Proud Of Slaughter.
The British openly boast that they
have scored a great diplomatic sue
cess in showing the Chinese that the
American government is with them
in their Chinese policy. The fact that
this diplomatic gesture resulted in
the slaughter of thousands Of unarmed
people means nothing to those brutal
agents Of Imperialism.
Chang Kai-Shek, commander-in-
chief Of the Nationalist armies today
visited Admiral Williams on his flag
ship, Pittsburgh. 1t was noticed that
the admiral boorishly refused to pay
the general the courtesies usually ac-

Chinese general with the courtesy for
which the Chinese are noted took no
notice of the implied insult.

THE French and Japanese govern
L ments are observing caution in
the Chinese situation. The Paris
papers are reflecting on the accuracy
of the news appearing in the London
press. The British are telling the
world in one breath that the French
concession in Shanghai. is in danger
of attack from the Nationalists and
in another breath that the French Of
ficials in China have agreed to place
their armed forces under command
of the British General Duncan. To
all this the French say that it simply
is not so.

on leaving the Soviet consulate and
stated that he had friendly converse

consulates, but that in the British
consulate he noted that the chilly at
mosphere of imperialism still pre-

prefer to trade with the Chinese ma

on the Nicaraguan model, establish
hegemony over that vast country.
THIS seems to be the attitude of

Nto make long-distance predictions
where capitalist powers are con-

as mpch as they love the Moroccans

by the Thousand. The Japanese have
shown by their treatment of the Kor-

Danger of Bad Conditions
Progressives have repeatedly
warned that even where contracts for
a specified wage exist, the compan-
les lower the wage by requiring more
unpaid work of the men, or save
money at the miners expense by
worsening their conditions in some
other way. The union policy com

Many miners will remain at work,

lockout in the central competitive
field, these men being in other dis

The Trouble Shooter SAYS:

i have been surprised to find how
many persons are willing to forego

cause their present equipment is
somewhat out of date and they are
not quite prepared to invest in ad-
ditional complete sets.
There are many. little things that
can be added to set to improve it.
Take even the regenerative set
which many people have discarded for
fear of irritating their neighbors 1t
is possible to buy equipment that goes
between the antenna and the input
of such sets that will not only improve
reception but also will prevent re-
broadcasting. Almost any set, no mat
ter how poor, can be improved by
the addition of good loIdspeaker.
In these days of highly congested
ether condition, a vernier dial on
variable condenser is a highly desir-
able thing for splitting stations or for
tuning out interference. But there is
no reason why any one who does not
happen to have this convenience
should feel that he must wait until
he has a new set before enjoying some
of the new sets advantages. There are
a number of vernier' controls which
can be added to existing sets and
it, does not require much mechanical
knowledge to install them.
My policy is that while a radioist
is waiting he also can be enjoying, pro-
gressively, the new advantages which
these attachments afford.
