against trade union and left wing leaders shows that there
nothing to fear from Chang He that section of the
manufacturing trading and professional groups which willing
to bargain with imperialism and give the foreign robbers
greater concessions than they will make to the Chinese workers
and peasants.
Chang has carried out his assaults the trade unions
