Over a thousand workers were ar
rested during the strike, so Liebowitz
and Gross both stated. The majority
rof these were accounted for by the
official reports handed in by three
police precincts-5th street, 22nd
street and Both street-which We're
compiled by officers Refill, Maher
and O'Hara who appeared at the in
vestigation yesterday. Fifth street
station showed IS arrests Of fur
workers during the strike; Twenty
second street showed 10; and Thir-

total Of 81. The balance Of the
1000 occurred in other sections Of the

clared he believed the members Of
the Furriers' Joint Board made the
statements about police graft, but
they lied when they made them.
His explanation was that they
made such statements to cover up
discrepancies in their accounts. But
he overlooked the fact that there
were no discrepancies in their ac-
counts according to the financial re-
port; it was only according to the re-
port of the socialist auditors who
never completed their audit.

the following cable to William Pick

Association Of New York:
"The actions of the American diplo-
matte and armed forces in China,
is making the American people jointly
responsible for one Of the great crimes
in the history Of the armed struggle
of imperialism against the Chinese
revolution.
"The Chinese people are demon
strating their ability for organization
and leadership in crushing the mill
tarists and rebuilding Chinese society
on progressive lines.
Must Protest.
This progress is threatened by
imperialist intervention. Thirty-five
warships are demonstrating at Han
kow against the Nationalist govern
ment. Among them are 10 American
warships, including the cruiser Gin
cinnati. This is an imminent threat
Of armed force against the Chinese
people.
'sThe American people must pro-
test emphatically against this shame
full assault and must demand the re-
moval Of all armed forces from Chin
csc territory and waters. The war
against China threatens not only the
Chinese revolution but also the peace
of the entire world.
