directly to the disruption of the
Anglo-Russian Committee and to the
strengthening of the positions of the
Amsterdam leaders i'll their own
countries thus strengthening h e
movement against the Russians and
against international Trade Union
unity.
No phrases of the British delegates
IN Paris can remove the consequences
of these two previous years. They
meant that the British leaders were
not able to appear in Paris with a
clear and definite program and that
in consequence their conflict with the
majority degenerated simply into a
fight for seats and positions.
These lessons of the Amsterdam
international Congress in Paris can
only be applied if the most active
elements of the working class realize
the real significance of the British
defeat and if mass pressure is brought
to bear upon the General Council to
force it to put its words in Paris
about solidarity with the Russian
workers into action in an immediate
campaign for International Trade
Union unity without waiting for the
Edinburgh congress which in any case
would certainly prefer to hear of such
an action than of attacks upon
Russia. An obviously necessary step
is the commencing of the Anglo
Russian Committee to discuss joint
action against the danger of war
which is threatening the workers Of
all countries, and in particular against
the attacks of the British imperialists
upon the Soviet Union. The confer
ence of the Minority Movement in
Great Britain which is to take place
this month will give a splendid OPP
portunity for a tremendous demon
stration of the will of the British
proletariat to unity.

PARIS CONGRESS-
SEES AMSTERDAM
CHIEFS GRASPING
Fight for Plumber; No
Labor Policies

MOSCOW, (By MaiD The follow
ing article has been supplied to the
correspondents of the "Imprecorr
from well-informed trade union cir
Giles:
The Paris congress of the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions
showed the complete bankruptcy of
the Amsterdam International, it
shows how completely baseless are
the declarations of its leaders that
this international is really an inter
national organization of the working
class. In reality the Amsterdam In
ternational is nothing but the arena
for the squabbles of various leading
! cliques fighting for the right to mis-
lead the workers in their own way.
Their clique interests always come
before the interests of working class
solidarity in the struggle against the
capitalists.
The exposure of the dirty man
oeuvres of Oudegeest to sabotage the
movement for international Trade
Union unity and the desperate en-
deavours Of the other Amsterdam
leaders to whitewash him were very
instructive.
The isolation and the defeat of the
British leaders is the result of their
characterless policy in the last few
years by which they declared lip-ser-
vice to the cause of international
unity, but sabotaged unity in prac-
tice.
This of course is especially true for
their relations to the Anglo Russian
Committee. Although the Anglo
Russian Committee was founded on
the principle of mutual assistance, the
British leaders refused the assistance
of the Russian workers during the
General Strike, refused to discuss
joint measures for the assistance of
the British miners, refused to send
delegates to the Russian Trades
Union Congress, refused to discuss
the danger of war in the Anglo
Russian Committee and signed the
offensive resolution of the Labor
Party protesting to the Soviet Gov
eminent on account of the shooting
of twenty proved counter-revolution-
aries. This attitude leads Of course

Economic Crisis in wuhan.

HANKOW, Aug. "a. - The politi.
cal and economic situation of the
bloody Wuhan government grows more
menacing day by day. A grave food
crisis exists and on Saturday thous-
ands OF people stormed the rice stores
in suburb here. Military guards
were ordered out to dispense them,
but the soldiery failed to fire into the
great mass. All food stores not pill
LACED were confiscated by the soldiery
which is itself growing desperate be-
cause of the inability of the govern
ment TO feed them.
Money Is Worthless.
Government money is completely
devaluated and the peasants who have
tried to buy cattle from tradesmen
were rehuffed, creating increased I'M
rest among the peasantry who have
been selling their produce for the now
worthless coin.
A severe order from the garrison
chiefs proclaiming all tradesmen who
shut their shops to be revolutionaries
and enemies of the government failed
to produce desired results.

Thousands DGnOunCe

In London Meeting

LONDON, Aug. 24.-Over $4,000
workers assembled in Hyde Park to
hear Ben Tillett and other prominent
speakers in the British Minority
Movement protest against the murder
of Sacco and Vanzetti by the CAPT
talist courts of Massachusetts.
''Never since the sentence of cruel
fixion was ordered by Pontius Plate
has such terrible verdict on
human beings been given by law and
authority" Tillett said in his speech.
He declared that Sacco and Vanzetti
will stand out in history not only as
the martyrs but as the heroes of the
workingclass.
A resolution was offered stating
that the twelve day respite granted
Sacco and Vanzetti had been a de-
liberate trick on the part of the
Massachusetts blood hounds to calm
the world wide agitation in favor of
the two innocent victims so that the
crime might be perpetrated safely
later. The resolution was adopted
with a shout
All police leaves of absence had
been cancelled and the meeting was
encircled by boobies, with swords and
special service revolvers. Ambulances
and police wagons on the scene, but
found nothing to do.

Zenith of Everything
MOnstrous," Says Rome
Paper of Massachusetts,

ROME, Italy, Aug. 24-The Italian
press which hesitated to attack the
Massachusetts murders openly finally
thru aside it's fears as the end
seemed hopeless. The Impero, a large
Rome organ, makes the following
charge against the executioners of
Sacco and Vanzetti:
"Where the insensibility of the
American judges reaches the zenith
of everything that is monstrous is in
having kept these two men on the
threshold of death for seven years,
making them dance kind of funeral
hesitation waltz syncopated with hope
and despair without realizing that
they have already died a thousand
times"

ference with Marking leaders in

Meanwhile the systematic mass
murders continue. Prosecutions, tor
ture and executions of Communists
continues undated. Lei Chun-Tang
and Ii Ho- Wung were recently exc
cuted. The latter was only 20 years
of age. Dozens of specially organ
lied groups Of propagandists agitat-
ing daily in the streets of the cities
within the Wuhan government against
the Communists enjoy no success, but
meet frequently with stern opposition
from the masses, SO much so that the
police and military authorities have
to throw heavy guards arounds these
hirelings.
Attempts to Seize Arms.
According to reports from differ
ent districts many military institu-
tons have been attacked by mysteri-
GUS groups trying to seize ornaments.
For the purpose of trying to avoid
such incidents in the future the mill
tary authorities have worked out a
detailed plan to "exterminate the
Communists"
These attempts to seize arms and
ammunition while part of the program
of the Communists to turn the revolu-
ton in the direction of organizing
Soviets as organs of power for the
rule of the workers and peasants are
not all organized, but are in many
cases spontaneous outbursts of tho
population aided in some cases by the
disillusioned military units who have
revolted. The economic and political
condition of the Wuhan outfit grows
more dangerous for them and the bas-
ic conditions are ripening for the I'M
leashing of the peasant insurrection.

BY THUBER LEWIS.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. "a. - Police
terrorism Of kind not witnessed in
Chicago since the Hay Market days
has marked the last few hours be-
fore the death of Sacco and Vanzetti
At late hour Monday afternoon six
thousand police were still on their IN
broken duty begun three days ago.
The mass meetings announced for
Monday afternoon at Vernon Park,
Sibley and Taylor were prevented by
the presence of hundreds of police
who did not permit a soul to stand
for a minute in the vicinity of the
park. Squad cars equipped with riot
guns and tear gas bombs stood in
rows.
Monday morning some fifteen of
the forty-five people arrested in the
various Sacco-V anzetti demonstra-
tons during the past week appeared
at the Clark street police court for
hearing.
The only case continued among
them was that of George Maurer,
secretary of international Labor De-
tense of Chicago, who was rearrested
and held without bail when he left
the court room.
The district convention Of the
Workers Party which was held Sun
day night at Workers Lyceum was
entered by twenty police who thought
it was a Sacco and Vanzetti rally.
The police stayed throughout the ses-
sion.

uprisings and mutinies of the Wuhan
governmental troops in the provinces

MOSCOW, Aug. "a. - Pravda
points out that the European bout-
geois press is silent about the anti
Communist terror in China. 1t en-
phasizes that the New Leader direct
ed and edited by those three pillars
of pacifism, Macdonald, Lansbury
and Brockway (who protested thru a
special telegram addressed to Rykov
any execution of British spies and
white-guardist murderers by the Sow
let Union) now prefer to keep silence
regarding the cruelties committed in
China.
These soft pacifists are ready at
any moment to protest against vio-
lence when committed by revolution
airy justice towards enemies of the
working classes, but as "true Eng
lishmen", they consider the acts of
violence committed towards colonies
and seni-colonies and their inhabit-
ants as quite ordinary facts.
The Pravda considers it unnneces-
sary to add that the Daily Herald,
edited by the former pacifist Parson
Harlow, assumes the same attitude
towards the terror in China as his
teachers on the Lansbury Macdonald
organ.
But Pravda declares that for this
very reason, it is necessary for true
revolutionary praletarians to raise
their voices still louder against the
crimes committed by British militar-
lists and their Chinese lackeys in
China.
