In many parts, where the work Of organization
Is still in initial stage, the membership figures
could not be ascertained The returns for FuBien
have been superseded. The number of organized
farmers in these six provinces may without eXag-
geration be put at millions.
The efficiency of these peasant organizations is
depicted in a possibly exaggerated British report
follows ("Times" of February 9Th, 1921
Immediately after the arrival of the Canton
forces, Boshevist agents started organizing
peasant committees, which at present rule the
entire province. They dictate the amount of the
leases, and any landlord that offers resistance
runs the risk of sound thrashng. One land
killed, the workmens union forcbly
releasing the murderer, instituting an inquiry,
and declaring the culprit to be innocent"
Other British reports ('Times" PICKING correspon-
dentl Of February 22nd 1920 tell Of fights between
agricultural laborers and farmers; of the latter so
said to have been killed in the province of
Kwangtng. "The peasants themselves now deter
mine the amount Of the leases" this report like
wise says, "and any farmer that contradicts them
Is cried down "imperialist." One landowner
killed. The old system of ground lease has been
abolished and new forms are being contemplated
it being intended that tenth of the amount falls
to the share of the peasant organization.
We are informed moreover, that the peasant or
CARNATIONS "Red Lancers," "Black Lancers," and
Others are armed and contributed not little to the
defeat of WI Pei-fu.
We need quote further facts. The movement
has all the characteristics of peasant revolution,
though, in contradstinction to former peasant re-
volts, it is organized over far wider and is
closely cooperating with the workers organizations
The trade union organizations of the workers
reveal a similar rapid development At Wuchang
alone there at the close of 1926 as reported by
the Economic Bulletin" of November 9th, 1926
no less than so trade union organizations with a
membership ranging from 80 to 5000 apparently

The opinion is often expressed in Social-Demo-
cratic circles that the Chinese revolution is purely
o bourgeois movement. In refatation of this stand
noint We may here cite some figures from Chinese,
Eon-C opmunst rs as to the profundity Of the
social fermentation amcpg the population. Tour
in this connection the publications of the
"Chinese Government Bureau of Economic Infor-
nation" which publishes weekly and monthly
report in English at Pekng).
The peasant organizations are rapidly increasing
in number. At the beginning Of March the number
of organized peasants was as follows: ("Economic

Business has truly been paralyzed by the ex-

"The demands of the trade unions under the Can

the British press, all showing how deeply the work.

revolution.
But not only peasants and workers. also the petty
bourgeois circles have been affected. special
thorn in the eye of the British capitalists was the
demands of the bank clerks.

these employees speak English or some other
foreign language and fairly well educated.
The majority of them surely possess learning
enough to know that there must be limit to

demands in question range from go to $40 per

In view of these demands, all the banks closed

the bourgeoisie has separated itself from the revou

betrayed the ant-mperialist emancipation move

against the proetariat and the general mass Of
the peasantry on the one hand and against the i'm
periaists on the other. The bourgeoisie has sur
rendered Internationally to the imperialists The
situation may be said TO be clearer now inasmuch
as China must either remain bourgeois under the
yoke of the imperalists else become free under

bourgeoisie. This state Of affairs Is a guarantee
for the continuation Of the revolution even if a re-
lapse sets in for the time being.

The Chinese Revolution

the workers of each individual factory at that
time still organized separately Altogether, there
were in the town no less than 100000 organized
workers At Shanghai the trade unions were, alter
nately, either outlawed dominant in the town: in
the latter cases the workers armed In March
there 108 trade union organizations with 287
042 members, ("Chinese Economic Bulletin of
April 2nd 1927 without counting the seamen, dock
workers, and business employees The total prob
ably now exceeds 100000.
The following survey of the strike movement at
Shanghai in 1926 deserves special interest. (From
the Chinese Economic Journal of March 1920.
In the course of the year there were 169 strikes
in 165 factories employing 202,297 workers. The
longest strike lasted "a days. which is tremendously
long for Chinese conditions In factory there
were g. in one 5, and in one strikes in the course
of the year; in a factories the workers struck
times In a single month there were more than
$4,000 workers on strike. This shows the intensity
of the movement.
How Heterogeneous the movement is, is demon
strated by the fact that the publication from which
we quote enumerates no fewer than IL different
kinds of demands brought forward by the strikers.
The most important Of them were:
Number of Cases
Increase of wages. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Unemployment of discharged workers :. 35
Discharge engagement of workers :. &c
Payment of wages for strike days. 20
No discharge without adequate reason. :. "a
Reduction or establishment of work-time. 10
In reading this whole list of demands, we cannot
but be struck by the very great number of "sodar-
ity" demands (such as for the release of arrested
workers in 10 cases) and the small proportion of
demands for shorter working hours (only in 10
cases). The oppression of the workers is manifest
by the fact that in 10 cases the demand put for
ward for the abolition of corporal punishment
The outcome of the strike movement was as fol-
lows:

WANT CONCRETE?
YOU'LL GET TT

If property owners petitioring for
street improvements want concrete
paving they shall have it, aays Roy
c. Shaneberger, work board presi-
dent.
When several heads of delegations
at board meeting Friday demanded
their respective improvements be
concrete instead of asphalt, Shane
berger said:
"You will pay the bill, so of course
you'll get what you want. But this
is not the time to decide that"
Shaneberger declared advance
clamor for concrete might tend to
result in higher bids on concrete. "Of
course I think all contractors are
honest, but the time to file your re-
quest for concrete is after bids have
been received" he said.
There was no open resumption of
the concrete-asphalt war. The board
confirmed ten street Improvement
resolutions.

TWO CARS CRASH
INTO FALL CREEK
Occupants Escape Death as
Autos Plunge in Stream.

Occupants of two autos narrowly
escaped death Friday night when
their cars plunged over Fall Creek
embankments.
A Chrysler owned by Dale Alex
ander, 1884 E. Eighteenth ST., stolen
from Thirty Eighth and Salem
SITS, was found hanging on the north
retaining wall 100 feet east of the
Northwestern Ave. bridge, early to-
day. A spare tire rack on the rear
kept the car from being entirely
submerged.
The occupants could have gotten
out safely. according to Motor Pc,
licemen Hague and Troutman, but
they advance the theory that the
thieves, started the auto driverless,
on Indianapolis Ave, to go where it
might.
An auto owned by William
Scherle. 400 Centennial St, was
found submerged to the floor boards
at New Jersey ST. Motorpolicemen
Clark and Lansing traced the IL
cense numbers and found Scherle
at work at the Stutz Motop Com
pany. He said he was driving west
along the north creek boulevard at
2 a. m. and at Central Ave. his front
wheel struck a rockl He lost con-
troll and the auto plunged over the
embankment and into the water. He
climbed out a window and went to
his home in taxi, he said.
