Mhe basis for a socialist society on the
Suins of the capitalist system.
THE masses in all the capitalist
countries of Europe and Asia are
carrying terrific burden in the shape
of taxes to pay for battleships and
other instruments of war. The only
way they can dump this load is By
dumping the capitalist system and by
overthrowing the governments that
serve. that system. AS the situation
stands today the small nations that
were "emancipated" from foreign rule
as a result of the war are possibly
worse off now than ever before.
They are still the vassals of foreign
imperialism in addition to having
their own flunkeys to support. The
optimistic souls in the formerly
foreign-ruled countries who expected
milk and honey when the iron heel of
the stranger was lifted from their
aces are beginning to realize that
the only gamers from a change of
masters are the new ones.

POLICE ATTACK
SHANGHAI LABOR
DEMONSTRATION
Masses in Angry Mood
Against Imperialists

HANKOW, Jan. 23.-Foreign no
licemen fired last night on union
motormen and conductors who were
parading in the international settle
ment in celebration of their victory
over the employers following a two
days strike.
Infatuated by the provocative ac-
ton of the British police, the trade
unionists seized available weapons
and used them freely on the police.
Motor bus employees also struck,
tying up local transportation. The
street car companies settled with the
men. The employers failed to carry
out all the provisions of the agree
ment. The imperialists see in the
most recent uprising, an advance no.
tice Of what took place in Hankow
when the Chinese kicked out the Brit
ish and took over the foreign conces-
sions. With the masses in Shanghai
in sympathy with the Cantonese, it
is not expected that the imperialists
can hold the city against the revolu-
tionary armies.
Thieves Cannot Agree.
Failure of England, Japan and the
United States to reach an agreement
on Chinese policy is not contributing
to the equanimity of the imperialist
agents in China. Japan has relin-
quished the policy of force and while
the United States is willing to make
a warlike demonstration against
China, the Washington government is
not sufficiently enthusiastic about IN
PREVENTION to suit Britain, which has
more at stake in China than any
ether country.
1t is also known that the Chamber
lain-Baldwin wing of the British
cabinet favors policy of Cancellation
in China, while the Churchill Birken-
head-Hicks wing is ready to break
with Chamberlain and Baldwin on the
question of relations with Russia, and
a more aggressive policy in China.
Churchill and MussO1ini.
Winston Curchill is now in Italy
comforting with Mussolini. Chinese
statesmen are of the opinion that
Churchill is trying to form a Euro
pean bloc for war against Russia
and China simultaneously.
British warships continue to arrive
in Chinese waters in increasing
numbers. Whether the British aim
to recover the lost concession de-
ponds to a great extent on whether
the Chamberlain-Baldwin group wins
out in the British cabinet.
British agents express pessimism
over the radical policy of the Kou-
mintang. They had hoped for a VIC
tory for the conservative elements,
but the latter have been pushed aside
by the revolutionaries.

Chases Girls Down.
In the International Handkerchief
Co. 800 young workers get only SIC
to $18 a week of So hours. Let's
listen to young girl from this
shop: "The wages which we work
ers receive are an insult to us. By
means of piece work, they are able
to drive US at terrific speed, even
robbing us of our lunch time. We
are supposed to get 3-4 of an hour
for lunch, but they start the ma
chine at 1925, just 25 minutes after
we have started our lunch. Like
mad, we rush to our machines, sup
posedly to make money, but at the
end of the week, we find very little.
When the whistle blows for us to go
home, we girls in the operating de-
partment must clean our machines,
and our dresses and hair, as they are
full Of cotton. And this, of course,
is done on our time. During this
period the forman walks around,
chasing all the girls downstairs"
Such are the conditions also in the

Co., Miller Shoe Co., Loft Candy

shops and industries.

ers? Why are young workers hours
from 4S to 81 hours per week, while
other workers enjoy a forty or forty
four hour week? Why are the young
workers of the pencil and handker-
chief factories forced to operate two
or three machines for $500 a week,
when other workers operate only one
machine and get from $40 to $50
week. There is only one answer, and
that is--the young workers are not
organized into trade unions!

dicalists, sentenced for many years

for the working class.
More Condemned Workers.
Recently there took place another
war council against numerous work
ers that were soldiers during the
summer of 1924 in regiment of
Castellon de la Puana. This regi-
ment was to be sent to Morocco to
fight against Abd-el-Krim. The regi-
ment had to be sent in order to help
the Xaouen retreat conducted by Pri-
mo de Rivera himself, and in which
retreat 10000 Spanish men died.
Among the soldiers of the regi-
ment there were some ready to rebel
rather than fight in the war which
they hated. In order to organize the
rebellion, hundred soldiers held va
rious meetings about the city. This
open air assemblage was discovered
and all those there were sent to
prison. The leaders have now been
sentenced to life Imprisonment. The
trial was not public, this being one
of the means used by Primo de Riv-
era.
Publication of any brutal act of
the government is not permitted. The
military censorship has been working
steadily and successfully for three
years.
Ley Fuga".
General Marines Amido, when he
was governor OF Barcelona establish
ed what has been called the "ley
fuga". This consists in giving legal"
sanction to the murder of the most
important members of the working
class organizations in Barcelona. The
police, after committing murder, will
publish an official communique"
saying that the prisoner was killed
while trying to escape. This method
is now re-established.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-01-24

The most important problem be-
fore the New York workers is to help
organize the young workers. We,
the Young Workers (Communist)
League, by putting up the fight for
organization, are leading the young
workers in their struggles for better
conditions.
Into Shops.
We issued in our organization a
slogan, Unto the Shops!" so that
we, the Young Workers League, shall
be organically connected with the
everyday struggles of the working
youth of New York City by trans
ferring our membership from the
small places into the large shops,
where they can be more closely in
touch with the masses of the youth
and help make their struggles
against the bosses effective. 1t is
the task of the Y. w. L to give the
young workers the right leadership
and to teach the correct tactics Of
the class struggle.
Issue Shop Papers.
We are issuing several shop papers
and leaflets. In these papers we are
calling upon the young workers for
action. On the basis of their concrete
conditions in the shops, we are MAX
ing concrete analyses and we are
putting up concrete demands, for
which we are calling upon the work
ers to fight. In various shops, our
papers are becoming the expression
of the working youth. This we can
judge from the many letters we re-
ceive.
In the handkerchief shop, we issue
a paper, "The Youth Champion" In
the Eagle Pencil,-"The Workers
Point" In the Freshman Radio
"The Workers Broadcaster." 1t is
true that these are not coming out
regularly on account Of financial and
other difficulties.
Young and Old Unite
Yes, the Young Workers League
will give the young workers of New
York the proper leadership, But this
is not sufficient. We must have the
help of the adult and other skilled
workers, the support of organized la
Dor of New York. We must have
unity and a common understanding
and brotherly relations between the
young and adult workers.
One trade union worker, one skilled
worker, can and must help out at
least ten unskilled or semi-skilled
young workers.
