MILITARISTS IN
DRIVE AGAINST
CHINESE MASSES
Fear Communists AS
Mass leaders

HANKOW, July 31.-The political
committee of the Kuomintang has be-
come completely subservient to the
military council and is carrying out it's
orders in every detail. The principal
activity of this counter-revolutionar
clique today is directed against the
Communists who are the only we'll
organized opposition to the betrayal
Of the revolution.
Plenary Session Called.
August Is is set as the date for the
| plenary session of the central execu-
tive committee of the Kuomintang at
which time the question will come up
for discussion regarding the future re-
lations between the Kuomintang and
the Communist Party.
1t has been recommended to the
plenary session to approve measures
against the Communist Party pending
the third congress of the Kuomin-
tang. But these measures are to be
Immediately effective.
Counter-revolutionary Proposals.
The demands of the reactionary
agents of the militarists are that all
members of the Communist Party who
are at the same time members of the
Kuomintang and who work in Kuo-
mintang organizations or hold posts
in the Nationalist government or army
must leave the Communist Party,
otherwise they will Immediately be
removed from office. Also members
of the Communist Party must not
carry on Communistic work under the
cover Of the Kuomintang. An addi-
tional demand is one prohibiting men,
bers of the Kuomintang joining any
other political party under penalty of
facing accusations of rebellion against
the Kuomintang. All this is in direct
violation of one of the principles of
Sun Vat Sen that specifically stipu-
lated that Communists should always
have the right to work within the
Kuomintang.

Teagle Gambled Soviet
Union Would Fall

Confined from Page One)
in the Taigor timber case settled the
question as to whether certain tim
Der sold in England by the Russian
government had been "stolen" when
it was nationalized in 1918, just as all
other private property in Russia was
nationalized.
The British court said that a gov
eminent, being sovereign, has a right
to take property as it chooses. The
British government, the court said,
had taken in taxes up to 85 per cent
of earnings, which means up to IS per
cent of the value of the property.
In any case, Standard of New York
and Vacuum proceeded to arrange
their purchases from the Soviet in
accordance with the advice of Hughes.
Mobiles Buy "Stolen" Oil.
Moreover, the Mobiles, who are Wal
ter Teagle's partners in a claim to ma
tionalized oil property in Russia, are
buying "stolen" oil. In January of
this year they made a contract to buy
$4,000 tons annually from the Rus
sian government.
There is another game that Sir
Henry Deterding-seconded by Wal
ter Teagle of the Standard Oil of New
JERSEYS playing in his appeal to
American PUBLIC yQnipiop asking it to
turn againstSs eA'of New York
and Facuam for buying Russian out
put.
Spain, France and Italy have either
established or are establishing state
monopolies to deal in petroleum pro-
ducts. The plan is for these mono
poles to buy, refine and distribute
cheap Russian crude--cheap because
it need stand only the low freight
from the Black Sea instead Of the
high freight from our gulf ports.
Spain, France and Italy are the do
main of Royal Dutch and the Stan
dard Oil Of New Jersey. Sir Henry
Defending saw this development COM
ing and tried to prevent 1t by an en-
tire year Of negotiation with the Sow
lets, attempting to get monopoly of
the Russian output for himself and
Standard Of New Jersey. That would
have shut the budding state mono
poles off from their expected source
of supply.

off system in the anthracite. They
refuse to set up relief committees,
in spite of the fact that many miners
families are going hungry. They
simply refuse to organize the real
strength Of miners for a fight. Un-
der these circumstances, the struggle
is twofold, the progressive must car
ry on a struggle in the union to COM
pei the Lewis administration to carry
on real fight against the coal ope-
rators. Then the solicited organiza-
ton must throw its complete strength
into the struggle against the coal
operators.
The "Save the Union" program
which is also our program and which
was endorsed by the majority of the
members of the Miners Union, can
and will win the strike.
Coal miners demand action, you are
facing a great responsibility. Now
is the time to act.-Progressve Min
ers Committee.
The bulletin commends the march
ing miners of District 2, John Bro
phys district, and stands by the slo-
gans of the "Save the Union" ticket
in the last miners elections.
1t carriers news of the struggle, of
evictions, of attempted strike-break-
ing, of barbed wire entanglements
around mining towns, and calls for
defense of Sacco and Vanzetti.
The bulletin sells for five cents a
copy, or $3.50 hundred, and is pub
lished at 423 Belden Ave, Chicago.

MILITANT GROUP
|. IN MINER union
ISSUES BULLETIN
Demands Strong Drive
To Win Coal Strike

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 31.-Calling
for organization of non-union fields,
for naturalization of the mines and
the railroads, for relief for the strik-
ing miners, but especially for a more
militant and aggressive policy by the
strikers themselves, the Progressive
Miners Committee, an organization
of rank and file miners belonging to
the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, has issued here the first number
of "The Miners Strike Bulletin"
The nature of this movement of
progressives among the miners is
shown in statement put out by the
committee, on the first page of its
strike bulletin; in which under the
title, "Why the Strike Bulletin ?"
they say
The strike Of the bituminous min
ers is now in it's fourth month. The
operators have carried on vicious
campaign, in their attempt to enforce
a wage cut and to materially worsen
the conditions of the miners. This
campaign applies equally to the an
thracite miners, where the check-off
system is not being enforced, and
where the miners are compelled to
strike against wage cuts and length
ening OF the work-days.
This strike bulletin is issued by the
Progressive Miners Committee for
the purpose of rallying the rank and
file to militantly struggle against
these attacks, to fight against the
weakened begging policy of the
Lewis administration, and to demand
that the real fighting spirit and
strength of the Miners Union be or
ganized, that the grievances and de-
mands Of the anthracite miners be
linked up with that of the striking
bituminous miners, that the struggle
be made jointly and the strike
brought swiftly to victorious con-
clusion.
Many left-wingers and progress
ives labor under the illusion that it is
wrong to criticize the Lewis admins
tration during the period of strike,
even though they know that the pol
icies being pursued leads, not to vic
tory, but either to defeat or at best
demoralizing compromise.
This is the main reason why the
Progressives have not issued a state
ment dealing with the strike situa-
ton. This position is wrong and
must be combatted. The left-wing
with the progressive forces in the
Miners Union must compel the lead
ers to follow a militant struggle pol
icy.
The Lewis administration have
thrown away the national agreement
They are doing nothing to organize
the non-union territory. No attempt
is being made to enforce the check

New American Marine
Base At Olangapo Has
Strongest Pacific Unit

MANILA, July 31.-Olangapo,
the site of Americas new marine
base in the Far East, is booming
like western village. One month
ago it fesembled Sleepy Hollow
and today it resembles the center
of baby gold rush. Fifteen hun
bred marines were landed at Olan-
gapo on their way to China. Sub
sequently about 1000 of them
were taken to Shanghai, but the
important fact is that the govern
ment is building barracks and
making other improvements which
leave no doubt of it's purpose.
Bars which cluster outside the
limits of the new reservation are
thriving; there is new paint on
the swinging doors and the brass
foot rails have been polished.
Everything will be ready for the
Marines when they return from
China.
A total personnel of $500 men
and officers will be stationed in
Olangapo before the end of the
year. Together with the person
mel of the navy base previously
established there, and the Filipino
population of the town, there will
shortly be a metropolis of some
5000 or more.
Marines now stationed at Olan-
gapo are the best equipped fight
ing unit ever brought to the Paci-
fic. Aircraft, tanks, artillery and
gas equipment are included.
