gin on Monday, Oct. 3rd, the pub
lication of series of articles by
Sze Toh-li Of the Pan-Pacific Trade
Union Secretariat. Dated the first
Of August and mailed from Han
kow these articles picture the po-
litical and military struggle which
took place during the period when
the Wuhan government was pre-
pairing the betrayal of the mass lib
GRAFTON movement and lnaneuvering
for the surrender to Chang Kai-
shek and the Marking counter-rev-
olutionary government.
The suppression Of the trade
unions, the execution of workers
leaders, the war on the peasantry,
the role Of the various personali-
ties with whose names news dis
patches have made American
workers familiar, are dealt with in
brilliant style. The class charac-
ter of the liberation movement is
shown clearly and the perspective
for the Chinese revolution laid
down by the writer has been am
ply justified by subsequent events.

"The Fascist League of North

"The fascists in this country did
not deny their connection with Mus
solini at that time. When the Wash

who was Italian ambassador, he adj

"When the fascists in Italy heard
of this blunder on the part of Cae-

Current Events
By T. J. O'Flaherty

DULLING off news fakes is a COM
mon practice with capitalist edi-
tors. Many dispatches bearing a re-
spectacle foreign date line are
imagined and written few floors
distant from the linotypes. Pictures
ere taken down from the morgue and
represented as fresh from some scene
of action. The few that detect the
fraud do not consider it their busi-
ness to expose it, sand anyhow the
means at their disposal are not ade-
quate to cope with the lying
machinery of the capitalist press.
ONE notorious sinner in this respec
" is the Chicago Tribune. Every
once in while it trots out picture
which has been doing service since
the 1908 revolution, with the object
of showing disorder and chaos in the
Soviet Union. The Hearst papers
fabricate interviews with Stain and
other leaders of the U.S.S.R. Re-
Gently the New York Evening Journal
showed an alleged picture of an al
legged Soviet executioner who could
drop a fly at fifty yards with a re-
volver. Some marksman! This man
had a rowing commission in the Cau-
cusus and the pleasant task of shoot
ing everybody who fell into the bad
graces of the G.P.U. The terrible
person pictured in the Hearst sheet
looked like male fortune teller.
Few people who read the Evening
Journal will stop to doubt the au-
thenticity of the picture and the Bris-
banal editorial that accompanied it.
Should such celebrity exist there
would be as much likelihood of his
picture getting out of Russia as there
is of the capitalists of this country

Evicted Miners Forced
To Build Barracks as
Bosses Grab All Houses
(By Federated Press.

NANTY CLIO, Pa, Sept. 2S.-
Striking soft coal miners of Dis
trict 2, United Mine Workers, are
having plenty of trouble housing
themselves when evicted by their
former employers, asserts William
Welsh, district union board mem
Der. At Alverda the miners are
constructing a 10-room barrack to
provide temporary shelter. Twenty
families were given eviction no
tees in one day at Nanty-Glo, says
Welsh. The coal companies mean
while are trying to lease every
available house to prevent the
evicted miners from staying in
town. Welsh considers this a
move to try to force the men back
to the mines in their desire to save
their families from suffering for
lack of housing.

BUILDING TRADES
WORKERS HIT AT
COUNCIL SELLOUT
Agreement With Bosses
Maintains Wage Scale

Progressive workers thruout the
city are bitterly attacking the Build
ing Trades Council, dominated by
John Halcott, successor to Boss Brin-
dell, for selling out more than 100000
workers in thirty different crafts.
The agreement concluded between the
council and the Building Trades Em-
ployers' Association is branded as a
complete sell-out.
The agreement extends the present
wage scale and working day for two
years. Despite recent efforts of build
ing trades workers, particularly the
painters and plumbers and
the plumber helpers, to win higher
wages and five-day week, the Brin-
dell council agreed to maintain the
old agreement.
Labor-Baiter Happy.
The agreement is aimed directly at
The progressive elements who remain
outside of the building trades council.
The plumbers, painters, bricklayers,
marble workers and plumb
ers' helpers are not in the council.
The council is not affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
Great satisfaction with the agree
ment has been expressed by Christian
6. Norman, chairman Of the board
Of governors of the employers asso-
ciation, notorious for his anti-labor
sentiments.

FOULKE LAUDS
CIVIL SERVICE

A scathing attack on "any and
all proposals to abolish the Civil
Service Commission today was
launched by William Dudley Foulke
former commissioner.
Mr.. Foulke's statement was par
ticularly aimed at the proposal Of
the organization known as the Btu
reau of Public Personnel Admins
tration to abolish the Civil Service
Commission, the Bureau of Eff.
cheney, the Personnel Classified ton
Board and the Compensation Com.
mission.
This proposal is labeled "a per-
fectly crazy scheme for administer
ing the Government" by Mr.. Foulke.
1t proposes to abolition of these
four commissions, and the substitu-
ton therefor of a Director of Per.
sonnet selected by the President.
Mr.. Foulke said that the present
civil service law is a very sound
one, and its only trouble is that it
isn't strong enough to prevent oc-
currences like "the raid on the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
by the Harding administration" sew
eral years ago.
Mr.. Foulke made a special trip
to Washington at that time to pre-.
vent the 'Hardization of the whole

He said that only prompt fight
