Child Endow rent.

PERTH, Western Australia.-Some
time ago, the Western Australia State
Executive of the Australian Labor
Party appointed a special committee
to report on the question CT child en-
dowment. The committee has now
drawn up a report, which has been
adopted by the executive of the A. l..
P. The report urges the labor govern
'nent of the state to insist on a child
endowment system in accordance with
he following principles:
That, wages be so computed to
ensure a reasonable standard of life,
having regard to the domestic obliga-
items of the average worker-a man,
wife and two children. 2.-That en-
dowment be assured for each child in
every family in excess of two. g.
That it be recognized wages are an
economic charge on industry, and en-
dowment a social obligation on the
community THAT endowment is
related only to the extent of the fam
lily, and is not to be regarded as cor
receive of arbitration DEFICIENCIES, but
as the right Of the child, and that
child endowment should be entirely in
dependent Of wage-margins for skill.

Japanese Workers Fight New Capitalist Offensive

AS was to be expected, the Left
revolutionary wing of the japanese
proletariat, the Workers and Pea
SAINTS Party" ("Rodonominto'O and
the revolutionary trade union league
("Hyogikai") display the greatest
activity. They responded to the at
tack of capital by organizing mass
movement on a large scale with a
view of forming factory committees
in the factories and calling confer
ences of factory delegates in the
towns and districts.
Police Terrorism.
Although the Reformist and Centre
trade unions opposed the movement
of the factory committees on the
grounds that this movement was not
in accord with the trade union move
ment as whole, was competitor of
the latter and threatened its destruc-
ton, all the workers of some con-
Germs who were members of the
Centre and even of the Reformist
trade unions joined in the movement
Of the factory committees and took
an active part in the conferences of
the factory delegates.
The employers and the police who
assist them are carrying on violent
struggle against the factory commit
tees movement and against calling
conferences Of delegates. The police
dispersed the delegates, arrested their
leaders, etc. Thus, for instance, in
the big industrial centre of Osaka, the
police twice broke up the conference
of the factory committees. The same
thing happened in other places. The
reprisals of the Government did not,
however, deter the Left trade unions
and the Workers and Peasants party
from continuing their struggle. These
organizations called conference of
all proletarian organizations of Osaka
on August 9Th, at which the methods
of repulsing the offensive of capital
were discussed. They intend to call
a conference of all proletarian organi-
cations throughout the country at
which the same question is to be dealt
with.

ON MAD &1NlE1s
The economic crisis which Japan
has been passing through since 1920
and which had begun to assume a
milder form in 1926 and 1926, has
again become more serious in the
past few months and assumed ex-
tremely alarming proportions. The
general cause of the crisis in Japan
is the disproportion between the gil
gantic development of Japanese in
dustry and the demand for Japanese
wares. Japan is now a gigantic fac
tory working up foreign war materi-
ais into marketable goods Japan
possesses no raw materials of her
own These goods are exported to
countries in which they have to face
severe competition on the part of
other industrial countries which GUST
the Japanese goods.
The crisis in Japan has lately been
intensified by the revolution in Chi
ma, which considerably affected the
Chinese market, the most important
one for Japanese wares.
Bank Failures.
In the last few months, a number
of banks in Japan (about 80, large
and small ones), as we'll as CONNER
cial and industrial undertakings
linked up with them, have collapsed,

of industry in the district of Toxic
and Yokohama, also resolved to cut
down production and has resorted to
wholesale dismissal of workers in a
number of undertakings. The other
factories belonging to this concern
are also preparing for wholesale dis
missals-but, in order to avoid unrest
among the workers, they are dismiss
sing their hands, for the time being,
in small groups of eight to ten men.
The ship-building work Kawasaki
have already dismissed 5000 workers
and 500 employees; the dismissal Of
an equal number, if not of more, is
to be anticipated.
Street Car Workers.
Even very profitable undertakings,
such as the tramway system Of Toxic,
are making use of the general of
fensive of capital against the work
ing class and are proceeding with
wholesale dismissals in the course of
naturalization. At the end of July
$50 workers were dismissed.
The employers, however, do not
confine themselves to the dismissal
of workers. They are also reducing
wages, prolonging the hour4 of work
whilst at the same time they reduce
the number of working days, intro
ducing piece-work, keeping back the
wages or paying once a month in
stead of twice, worsening all the
conditions of labor, etc.
Workers Fight.
How does the japanese proletariat
react to this offensive of capitalism =?
In general the Japanese workers Of
fer a fairly active resistance to the
attack of the capitalists. Unfortu-
nately, the Japanese proletariat is
still weak as regards organization
and, owing to political disunity, it's
organizations, both the political and
trade union ones, are split up into
three groups hostile to one another.
These are the Right, the Left and
the Centre parties. The absence of
a united front is very detrimental to
the struggle of the japanese work
ers.

2among them big concerns such as
Susuki, Kawasaki and others.
The crisis continues to rage and
is constantly spreading to new
branches of Japanese industry, such
as the cotton industry, cement, sugar,
paper and other industries. The
number Of industrial undertakings
which have collapsed is constantly
growing.
Wholesale Dismissals.
The Japanese proletariat is suffer-
ing above all from the wholesale dis
missal of workers which is taking
place in almost every branch of in
dustry. The following facts bear
witness to the extent of these whole
sale dismissals.

embraces 80 percent of the whole
of the Japanese textile industry, re-

Sugar Strike.

BRISBANE, Queensland-A seri-
GUS strike has broken out in the sugar
industry, owing to the action of sugar
mill employers at South Johnstone, in
the north of Queensland, employing
non-union foreigners instead of union
labor, despite the fact that under a
ruling of the state arbitration court
the unionists were to be given pref
erence, in view of their previous ex-
perience of the work and employment
in the industry.
Following upon the picketing Of the
mills, a union picket named Jack Hines
was shot dead by foreign gunman
on July 4. The foreigner has not yet
been located, being shielded by the
employers. After the shooting there
was a general rush to clear out the
foreigners and for time things look
cd serious, as everybody was armed
The police interviewed, and the Queens
land state government ordered the
disarmament of all persons while the
defense department called in all SER
vice rifles and ammunition.
The unionists are strong on the
field and are piclleting the works.
Non-unionists brought to the mills are
given a rough handling and sent back
the unionists stopping the trains
and dragging the "scabs" off, then
beating them up. There is every like
lihood of the strike extending as the
unionists are determined to carry on
the fight till every non-unionist is
