Element at Shanghai and Wellington
Koo, representing the Pekin govern
ment, OF Chang-Tso-Lin, called at the
British embassy and peremptorily de-
manded that the British troops now
in Shanghai evacuate Immediately.
"The British government will give
any protest from foreign minister
Koo the attention it deserves" was
the icy comment Of the foreign office
Koo characterized the dispatch of
British troops as "a most extraordin-
airy action" and in contravention of
existing agreements. Koo cited the
Washington conference resolution for
the withdrawal of all troops not in
China in conformity with existing
treaties and article X of the league
Of nations covenant.
Forced To Evacuate.
Two battalions of recently arrived
British troops have been forced to
evacuate from their quarters in the
Shanghai racecourse.
The action of the council was taken,
it is understood after it had been de-
cided that the situation does not call
for the presence of troops. If the de-
cision is maintained the thousands OF
British troops now enroute to Shang-
hal may not be permitted to land for
quartering them in the Chinese sec
tions would undoubtedly arouse inn
mediate protests from the Chinese
since it would be an act Of inter-
yention.
No Rest For Bulls Troops.
The British in Shanghai propose
to quarter the troops at the water
works which they claim to be British
property. Here again the consular
body steps in and declares that even
tho the waterworks is British proper
~ it is located in the international set
Element and Is under the jurisdiction
OF the consular body. So the British
troops arc here but have no place
TO sit.
The British government decided u
delay publication of its proposals ia
China. The Morning Post assures its
tory readers that the proposals would
not become effective until suitable"
government is formed in China. This
means puppet government suitable
TO the tories.

MINrncy MEnr
MiNEkS WAGE
SCALE REPORT
ABOUT READY
Committee Made Up of
Lewis Supporters

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. ST.
The scale committee appointed at
the beginning Of the United Mine
Workers international convention
here has held several meetings, and
is expected to report in a day or two.
This committee was appointed from
among the higher officers Of the vari-
Gus districts, with Harry FishwiclS.
president Of District 10 (Illinois)
and a staunch Lewis partisan in this
convention, at its head. John Brophy
president of District 2, progressive
candidate for international president
against John L. Lewis, the ineum-
tent, was not put on the committee.
Nearly all other district presidents
are members Of it.
To Cut or Not.
There is much speculation as to
the committees proposed report. The
progressives are determined on no re-
dUction Of the wages now prevailing
in the central competitive district,
which are higher than those in the
non-union districts. Lewis has fire.
guently announced that the union
would submit to ''no backward steps"
Chairman Fishwick in speeches made
in his district before the convention
but after his elevation to the district
presidency, has used similar Ian
guage.
Harry in Bad Company.
Frank Harrington, president Of
District - until he was exposed last
year as hireling of the Peabody
Coal Co., created the district union
political machine by which Fishwick
maintains his power, and Earring
ton has openly advocated wage Te-
duction for the union fields, both be-
fore and after his sudden ousting
from Office.
The South Must Strike.
Neither Fishwick nor Lewis has
proposed any practical plan by
which a successful strike could be
accomplished, in case the operators
stick to their agreement made in To-
ledo to insist on wage reductions. A
successful strike in the union fields
depends largely on the sympathetic
striking of the non-union miners,
and Lewis has kept his hundreds Of
international organizers playing pol
i.ies IN the union fields instead Of
penetrating the non-union fields with
roa Propaganda

Lewis gangsters, who surround
every progressive in the convention,
threw Demchak violently into his
chair while other administration
henchmen closed in on him, smuggling

pandemonium, Fishwick vainly pound

question shot at Fishwick when order
had been restored, whereupon there
was another wild demonstration.
