Great Forces Released.

Already / have indicated the forces
that checkmated this strategy. The
Central Kuomintang, thru the north
ern expedition, had emerged from the
narrow confines of Kwantung Pro-
vince; there had been an enormous
release of revolutionary forces, in
the organization of eight millior
peasants and workers in the con-
quered provinces; the masses had
learned that their own revolutionary
energy and initiative was the basis
of the military victories; and, above
all, the army itself had been largely
transformed, thru the work of the
revolutionary political section, into an
army of conscious revolutionists, con-
Meeting itself everywhere with the
trade unions and peasant unions, so
that it could no longer be used as a
blind tool by those holding military
command at the top.
The Army Decisive.
In China, in the midst of revolu-
ton, the army is necessarily the i'm
mediately decisive factor. What is
the attitude of the army, therefore,
in this inner struggle? A few of my
own contacts with the army will in
dictate what is going on:

Delegation was received by a wildly
enthusiastic demonstration of 5000
cadets, who sang "The International"
and shouted in unison slogans which
included, Follow the advice of the

In 1920 the idea of the shop delegate
system, popular in England was the
topic of discussion in many unions.
Local 25, which was strongly pro-
gressive, was the first local in the
International to organize the chair
men Of the shops into a sort Of AS
sembly, where Union problems and
questions of current interest were dis
cussed. The Executive Board of the
local remained as the governmental
body, but Union matters were re-
ferred to the shop chairmen and their
sentiment taken into account by the
officers.
This policy of calling the shop
chairmen together and giving the
membership, through them, strong
voice in the policy of the Union,
frightened the leaders of the Inter
national. They foresaw in the de-
velopment of the shop delegate sys-
tenn, the abrogation of the existing
bureaucratic system of government
by Joint Board and Executive Board
far removed from direct contact with
workers in the shop, but eminently
satisfactory to the Administration.
The General Executive Board deter
mined upon the division Of the local
as the best method of stamping out"
the movement. Despite the violent
opposition of the membership of the
local, Morris Sigman was appointed
by the General Executive Board to
"reorganize" and divide it into three
locals. The waistmakers were left in
Local rs, the pressers put into new
Local 60, and the dressmakers placed
in a new Local %, which is now the
largest single local of the Inter
national.

A queens county grand jury which
investigated the brawl between the
klansmen and the police handed
down a presentment in July in which
It found that the actions of the police

Copies of the presentment and of
the grand jury minutes were for
warded to Mayor Walker at the time.

nave no comment to make regarding
