EUGENE CHEN IN
ATTACK AGAINST
CHINA'S TRAITORS
Chinese Revolution
Again Moves Forward

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Sept. TO-
Eugene Chen, former foreign minis
ter of the Wuhan government, has
just published a declaration branding
the treason to the revolution of the
reactionary Kuomintang leaders.
Chen declares that following the coup
of the Nanking militarists the WI
han government ceased to exist.
Aided British Imperialism.
"The betrayal of the reactionary
Kuomintang leaders put an end to
one phase of 4le glorious Chinese
revolution" said Chen, "and afforded
British imperialism, which did not
dare undertake action against the
Chinese revolution during the victor
ious advance of the revolutionary
army, a possibility to show its true
face as the oppressor of the Chinese
people. Nanking, Shanghai and Han
kow are centers of counter-revolu-
tionary militarists and reactionary
politicians acting ruthlessly against
the revolutionary movement and mas
sacreing workers, peasants and Com
munists."
Brands Anti-SOviet Agitation.
Chen blames the Marking Wunan
reactionaries for the hostile attitude
displayed against Soviet citizens
working in China who were actually
compelled to leave Chinese territory

LEGION BOOSTS
MILITARISM AT
PARIS MEETING
Sky Pilot Leads Yelp
for Big Air Force

PARIS, Sept. 16.-The legion con-
vention, will like other conventions
held by American fass.ists, whoop it
up for bigger and better militarism,
it was learned today, when the COM
mittee on aeronautics announced that
it will recommend the development of
a larger air force. That the legion
will go on record as favoring the de-
velopment of a bigger American air
force is believed to be certain.
The aeronautic committee, appro-
priately headed by Texas sky pilot,
Rev. Gill Robb Wilson, will urge the
creation of a separate department of
national aeronautics" with Cabinet
representation and co-equal with the
military and naval departments"
Workers Demonstration at Clichy.
Huge counter-demonstrations will
be held by French workers at Clichy,
a suburb of Paris, on Monday when
the fascist convention opens. The
demonstration will be featured by the
changing of the name of the Place
des Fetes to the Place Sacco-Vanzetti,
in honor of the two workers murdered
by American capitalism with the ap-
proval of the legionnaires.
Explaining the decision of Paris
workers to boycott the legion affair
and hold nter-demonstration in the
suburbs rather than clash with the
American fascists on the streets of
Paris, LHumanite, militant organ of
the French Communist Party de-
clares:
"We will never defeat the adversary
if we do not know how to avoid the
traps which he sets for u.s."

Coolidge Ready TO

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-The
next move in the Franco American
tariff controversy was placed square
ly up to President Coolidge today.
Rejection by France of Washing
tons proposal for a commercial trea-
ty on Observation-Disclosures basis
which would have given U. S. the ad-
vantages gained by Germany, left on
ly two courses open to the govern
ment. The negotiations could be
brought to an end, thus leaving
American shippers and manufactur-
ers virtually out in the cold as far
as the French market is concerned;
or the president could fire the OPEN
ing shot in the expected tariff war by
bringing Section 317 of the tariff law
into play.
Section 317 gives the president the
privilege of increasing by 80 per cent
the duties on goods received from any
country which discriminates against
American goods. If the discrimina-
tion continues, the president can put

Libel CASE OF
SIGMAN AGAINST
COLD POSTPONED
Hyman. Freiheit Staff
Are Other Defendants

The criminal libel suit brot against
the staff of the Jewish Daily Frei-
heit and Ben Gold and Louis Hyman,
militant needle trades leaders, by Nor
ris Sigman, right wing president of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union was postponed until
next Wednesday when it came up be-
fore Magistrate Brodsky in .Jeffer-
son Market Court yesterday morning.
Samuel Markewitch, former assist
ant district attorney, and lawyer for
the right wing, attempted to have the
case withdrawn from the jurisdiction
Of Magistrate Brodsky and have it
placed before some other judge who
he feels would be more favorable to
him.
Will Hear Case Wednesday.
The right wing lawyer tried in
many ways TO discourage Magistrate
Brodsky from hearing the case. He
told the judge that it would take sew
eral days to present the evidence at
the hearing. This did not influence
Brodskv who ruled that he would hear
the case when it comes up next We'd
nesday morning.
Joseph R. Brodsky, attorney for the
workers protested against the many
adjournments in the case. They have
all been made at the request of Sig
man and his attorney.
Attorney Brodsky told the court
that frequent postponements were un-
fair to the defendants who had to
publish daily newspaper.
The militant workers are accused
by Sigman Of slandering his wife in
articles published in the Freiheit and
Unity, organ of the Unity Commit
tee of Cloak, Dressmakers and Fur
riers. The articles exposed the open
shop amusement park owned by Sig
man, located at Storm Lake, Iowa.

DOCKERS' STRIKE
SEEN AS BOSSES
DENY DEMANDS
10000 LongshOremen in
New York Affected

With the official refusal yesterday
on the part of the Transatlantic
Steamship Association to grant the
pay demands asked by the union, a
strike which may involve 10000 long
shoremen in New York and at least
$4,000 on the Atlantic seaboard is al
most certainty.
The workers demand an increase
of ten cents over the present wage
schedule of eighty cents an hour.
Their basic work-week is A hours.
They also demand fifteen cent raise
for overtime, the rate now being
$1.2O an hour.
Organization On Coast.
In the meantime south Atlantic
and Gulf district longshoremen are
formulating their demands which will
be presented to the steamship COM
panies in the near future. Union Of
ficials declare that organizational
work is now progressing among the
Pacific coast dock workers who with
drew in 1915 to join independent
unions.
The present contract between the
New York longshoremen and the
companies expires on the 30th of this
month, and unless a change comes in
the present situation the workers will
lay immediate plans for an effective
stoppage.
A powerful organization, the men
declare, assures them of a speedy
victory in the event that the COM
panies decide not to accede to their
demands before the expiration of the
agreement.
Refuse Demands of Checkers.
At the same time that the bosses,
thru the transatlantic Steamship
Association, turned down the demands
of the stevedores it also refused to
consider wage increase of a dollar
a day to 1000 checkers on the docks
of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten
Island who are members of the same
organization.
At the conclusion of the meeting
of the employers it was decided to
call another conference for Monday
morning, when the refusal to meet
the demands of the workers will be
conveyed to them officially.

Big Registration
at Workers School
Expected Monday

In 1924-25 the Workers School con-
sisted of some 5 or 6 classes with a
total registration of 60. During the
past year so classes were offered each
term with an average registration of
over 1000; classroom space had to be
doubled; 6.45 p. m. session had to be
added to the session beginning at 8
and. 9.15 p. m.
But more important than the physi-
cal signs of growth was the spirit
shown by the students and instruc-
tors. Workers tired out from the days
work, workers engaged practically
every minute Of their leisure time in
union activities and strikes, came one
or two nights a week to the Workers
School and devoted themselves to seri-
Gus study courses. The small library
was always filled to capacity. The
students, thru the Students Council,
managed the library, forum and other
activities of the school. All instruc-
tors volunteered their time and SER
vices to the school.
The Workers School expects 1927
% to witness still greater steps for
ward in its growth. For this reason
it is offering larger and more varied
curriculum. For details see the cata-
log which has just been issued. You
can secure copy by writing to Ber-
tram D. Wolfe, director of the Work
ers School, 10S East 18th ST., New

A number OF additional trains were
run on the Rockaway division of the
Long Island railroad as the result of
protests to the transit commission
against the action of the railroad in
removing many trains after labor day
with the explanation that "the sum-
mer resort season had closed"
The transit commission also ordered
the railroad to immediate remove the
obstruction on its right of way at
Beach 108th street and Beach Chan
mel Drive which compels pedestrian
and automobile traffic to take a
roundabout route to reach that thoro-
fare. There is a fence across the

Pleading that they would have to
increase their revenues in order to
meet the added wages of their work
ers, the boss truckmen had demand
ed certain concessions from the pro-
duce merchants, the principal one be-
ing that trucks be unloaded by them
at once and not delayed as the prac-
tice prevails at present.
No Strikebreakers.
It is this issue which stood in
the way of the ending Of the strike
which had completely tied up the
movement of fruits and vegetables.
Organized picketing by the strikers
not only prevented any attempt at Of
ficial strikebreaking, but also made
impossible the sale of products which
were piled up in the large markets
of the city and in the Wallabout mar
ket in Brooklyn.

on by the Fruit and Produce Trade
Association, but two other groups OF

ASSAIL WORKERS
Arrest 6 Dressmakers;
Right Wing Terrorism

CHICAGO, Sept 16-Six pickets
were arrested yesterday outside of
Hyman Bros. dress shop when the po-
lice and the right wing thugs COM
bined against the militant workers.
Many pickets were beaten, the Sig
man gangsters and the patrolman
working together against the pickets.
Several right wingers were arrested
by mistake but were released as soon
as they reached the station house.
Two workers, Yampolslty and Res
nick were the first to be taken into
custody. Saul Flegg, a Sigman camp
follower and head of the right wing
forces helped the police make the
arrest.
More Pickets Arrive.
The arrests had the effect of boil
STEERING up the fighting spirit of the
workers, new pickets taking the place
of those arrested.
When the right wingers and the
police saw the arrival of the new
pickets they attacked the workers, who
fought back bravely. Four more
workers were then arrested. They
were Ida Rothstein, Dora Lifshitz,
r. Kaplan and G. Robbner. Flegg and
several of his gangsters We're also
arrested but released with an apology
by the desk lieutenant.
Flegg is responsible for brazen
frame-up against Kaplan who he
charges stole $40 from one Of the girl
scabs. The girl dropped her pocket
book which was picked up by a po-
liceman who in turn handed it to
Flegg. The latter then charged that
Kaplan stole the money.
