JingOes Rave Against
Biblical Peace Verse

PLAINFIELD, N. j., April *
biblical text has so reused the ire/ of
war veterans of this city that they
threaten to refuse to take any part
in the Memorial Day celebration here
unless it is removed from the city's
war memorial.
The inscription, which is objected
to because of its pacifist sentiment,
is the verse, "Nation shalt not lift
up sword against nation; neither
shall they learn war any more"
The Central Board of Veterans and

wants this removed at once, other
wise they will not help dedicate the

Sen. Norris Says Will
Retire When Term Ends

WASHINGTON, April (FP).-
Senator Geo. w. Norris of Nebraska,
progressive leader in congress, an
nounces that he will retire from
public life when his present term ex-
pires in March, 1881.
This statement has been welcomed
by his enemies, especially among the
administration advisers in Washing
ton, since he is considered the ablest
and strongest Of the progressives.
His leadership of the fight for public
ownership and operation of electric
distributive systems as well as cleo
trio generating plants has created a
new economic issue in national poll
tics, with majority of the Roose-
veltian element refusing to declare
for his program.

Propaganda in the Theatre
Five Paywrghts Tell Daily Worker What Working Drama
Means to Them.

To the Dramatic Editor of The
DAILY WORKER: AT a meeting at
the SIND Street Theatre on Sunday,
March 27, the word propaganda"
shuttled menacingly around the
house. The New Playwrights Thea
tire was accused of being too conser-
vative, too radical, too timid, and
other things. The following is an at
tempt to lay down certain definitions
that may clear up the misconceptions
as to the politics Of the New Play
wrights Theatre.
l. Such a theatre emphatically
bears no political label.
2. All the same, plays written by
living breathing people in our time
are bound to have their roots in the
great mass movements of mankind of
which the greatest is the struggle for
power Of the working class.

ers or merely at industrial workers.
We believe that until a fusion of in
dustrial, white collar and intellectual
workers is affected there will be no
American labor movement worthy of
the name.
a. A living and courageous theatre
has a social function of the first inn
portance in mirroring the color and
tone of life around us, in crystallizing
rebellion. This function is much
more genuinely revolutionary than
the presentation of neat propaganda
phrases which convince no one.

D. To those who have suggested the
production of Hauptmann's "The

Galsworthy's Strike" we state cate

IT is evident that imperialism has
been counting heavily on a split in
the Kuomintang of serious enough
to hamper if not to Grip
pie the campaigns of the Peoples Ar
mics.
The imperialist hopes were ground
less. Commenting on these events the
Moscow Pravda said on March Is:
"The anti-imperialist movement
in China embraces various social
elements having common as we'll as
different interests which cannot fail
to be reflected in revolutionary or
ganization, in the government and
in the KuOmintang party. 1t is easy
to understand that the imperialist
press in considering the above ex-
aggerates the strength of the right
wing which had allegedly switched
the revolution onto the rails of
moderation" This bourgeois up
roar about the degeneration of the
Chinese revolution is contrary to
the fact that precisely in the re-
cent period that the mass labor
movement which is under the Com
munist Party's influence grew i'm
mensely. The unprecedently enthu-
siastic celebrations of International
Women's Day, the valiant struggle
of the Shanghai proletarians, the
big success of the recent peasants
conferences which were held under
revolutionary slogans-all this
bears testimony to the powerful
pressure of the revolutionary mas
SEES to which even the Kuomintang
right wing is compelled to submit"
Chang Kai Shek's declarations
relative to his faithfulness toward
the revolution, toward Sun Vat Sen
ism and loyalty to the Kuomingtang
are distinguished from his former
statements and testify to the pres
sure of the revolutionary rank and
file. The attempt of the right wing
to make the generals Independent
from the Kuomingtang discipline
has failed"

workers had to combat the imperial

tally of the foreign capitalists in a
colonial or semi-colonial country are
well-known; they depend upon the ma

suppression of the workers and this
brings the working masses into con-
flict with the allies of Imperialism.

The Chinese Liberation Movement Goes to the Left
THE TRADE UNIONS AND THE MuITARIsTS

IN Shanghai wages were from IL TO
10 cents per day. In Hankow, the
center of heavy industry, average
wages were 21S dollars in American
money-PER MONTH. This at time
when the subsistence level for fam
lily of five was $3.50 per month.
The hours Of labor were usually
not less than -, in some industries
IA and in the silk industry there was
a 10 hour day. The length Of the
working day for children was the
same as for men and women altho
their wages were slightly more than
nothing.
THE Chinese labor movement was
Literally born in struggle and in the
provinces where Peoples armies
smashed the militarists, and as soon
as this was accomplished, the trade
unions sprang into being. Even be-
fore the decisive battles were fought
the workers showed in the most cour-
ageous and practical way their loyalty
to the liberation movement.
The activity of the trade unions in
the towns of Hankow, Hanyang and
Wuhang, the great heavy industrial
center of China during the advance of
the Peoples armies and after their
triumph, afford typical example of
the manner in which the labor move
ment has grown.
The workers, as the Peoples armies
neared this center, declared strike

depended for munitions. This action
was of the greatest moment in decid-
ing the issue of the military struggle.

100000 of these workers are in basic

gagged in the lighter occupations.

as yet organized on an industrial basis
but the extension of the power of
the Peoples government has given an
immense impetus to the spread of in
dustrial organization. The process is
carried on in two ways-by the or
ganization of unions which have an
industrial structure from their incep-
ton and by the amalgamation of ex-
listing craft and occupational unions
with the industrial organizations.
The overwhelming majority of the
trade unions are affiliated to the All
Chinese Federation of Labor. 1.-THE
principal exceptions are the Canton
General Workers Union with $4,000
members and the Canton Union of
Mechanics with 1900 members. Ne
gotiations are being carried on by the
All-Chinese Federation with these
unions looking toward amalgamation.

Loans by the Amalgamated Bank
and Amalgamated Credit Union to

workers can borrow three-fifths of
the necessary amount from the bank
and the rest from the credit union.

Small monthly payments will be
arranged to relieve the worker grad

the loan is cancelled by the interest

ers are expected to pay $500 per
room and $11 or $11.50 depending
on whether or not tax exemption is
granted) monthly maintenance per
room. This rental will decrease to
about 81, it is hoped, as amortiza-
ton proceeds.
Six units with total Of 300 apart
ments will form the complete union
workers housing project. The full
cost is expected to be $1,75O,O0O. Oc-
tober occupancy is anticipated. The
site chosen is near one of the city's
largest and widest parks, in a neigh
borhood, where private profit apart
ments bring rentals of $18 to $22 per
room monthly.
Commissary Planned.
Cooperative commissary units are
planned; buses to take the workers
children to school; kindergarten in
the house; an assembly room, laun-
dry and cooperative restaurant. The
union hopes to erect similar COOPER

Communist party, able and strong
enough to lead the national liberation
movement.
THE brief history of the Chinese la
Dor movement shows in what man
ner and by what experience it has
gained the leading position it now
plays and will continue to play.
The rise of the labor movement be-
gan with the strike Of the seamen
in Hongkong in 1922. Beginning as a
protest against brutal treatment by
British Cfficiers the seamen's strike
first brought out other sections of
transport workers and finally result
ed in what was practically a general
strike thru which the transport I'M
ions were established.
THE strike of the railwaymen oc-
Acurred in February 1928. 1t was fol-
lowed by the general strike in Sha-
meen, the foreign settlement Of Can
ton. Then came the strike of the tex
tile workers in Shanghai in the sum-
mer Of 1925 and the great general
strike and boycott in Hongkong last
ing for 16 months-June, 1925-Sep-
TENDER, 1926.
In all these strikes the Chinese
working class, as in Shanghai where
the wantOn massacre which so
aroused the Chinese masses took
place, the workers and students who
took the side of the workers found
themselves confronted with the most
brutal manifestations of imperialism
in which all the great powers took
part-officially and unofficially.
But the strikes continued and or
ganization work went on. Last year
1926 there were 1874 small strikes
which, however, involved total of
100000 workers.
FROM these strikes, the overwhelm-
4 ing proportion of them for elemen-
tary demands such as wage increases,
shortening of hours and improvements
in working conditions, the workers
gained invaluable political training.
Not only did the workers come into
conflict with the imperialist enemies
directly but they found that in those
districts controlled by the Peoples
government their strikes were almost
uniformly won while in the provinces
ruled by the native militarist allies
of the imperialists the strikes were
bloodily suppressed and the unions
either completely destroyed or the re-
naming fragments driven into lille
gality.
1t did not take the Chinese workers
long to draw the correct conclusions
from these terrible struggles. Their
conditions were such that whoever OPP
posed their improvement Immediately
branded himself as the enemy of the
masses. Wages were unbeIievably
low.
