SHANGHAI YOUTH
PARADE DESPITE
marking TERROR
Chang Kai-shek Issues
Defiance of Masses

SHANGHAI, Sept. (By MaiD.
On September 2, mass. demonstra-
tions of several thousands of youth
took place in the streets Of Shang-
hal, in spite Of the repeated threats
of severe punishment made by the
Kuomintang and the generals. Mass
demonstrations of all kinds have
been prohibited, except under the
sanction of the militarists and with
their direct leadership, and these or
ders have been enforced by the
worst white terror the world has
seen. But the Chinese masses are
again forcing their way through to
independent revolutionary activities
and mass actions, and take posses
sion of the streets"
Sundays demonstrations was or
ganized by the Communist Youth
League of China, in celebration of
the International Youth Day. Sew
eral thousand of its members and
sympathizers gathered in the main
street of the International Settle
ment, on Marking Road. Speeches
were made, handbills distributed,
songs were sung, and slogans were
shouted. The demonstrators ex-
pressed the most ardent spirit of
struggle against Imperialism, against
the Kuomintang and it's so-called
Marking government. The proletar-
ian youth shouted their demands for
a Soviet China, for civil liberties,
etc.
Of course the police were alarmed,
and the handful of western rulers
of this great city got busy; the riot
squads were called out and crushed
the demonstration in the most brutal
fashion. They took large numbers
into custody. Nevertheless, on Mon
day, Sept. 8, the youth repeated
their demonstration in the late eve
ming by distributing tens of thou
sands of revolutionary leaflets or
the same street.
In view of this and similar dem
constructions occurring all over China
in rising volume, the head of the
Marking regime, Chang Kai-shek
has just issued another manifesto
in which he declares that all Com
munist activities will be ruthlessly
suppressed.

Kellogg Wants Time to
Fix Up South America
Nitrate Field Dispute

WASHINGTON, Oct. II (UP).-
The governments of Chile and Peru
have agreed to the suggestion of
Secretary Kellogg to suspend the
work of the Tacna-Arica special
boundary commission for a period of
four months, Secretary Kellogg an
nounced officially today.
"In view of the resumption of
diplomatic relations between Chile
and Peru and the hopeful prospect
that these two countries may now
be able to settle this long standing
dispute, which if settled will make
unnecessary further work of the
boundary commission, these two gov
ernments have agreed to the sug-
gestion of the secretary of state to
suspend the work of the boundary
commission for a period of four
months in order to give time to per-
nit negotiations between the two
governments for settlement"

workers come to tell to the unior
headquarters. Full 10 per cent wage
cut notices are still up in nearly al
the mills. Many mills worked out
new systems of wage payment that
cuts wages up to 1914 per cent. A
speed-up system, the same Friede-
Plan that the workers fought
against so hard, and which was not
included in the final sell-out set
Element, is in full swing in all the
mills.
This system varies in viciousness
from mill to mill, according to the
particular desires of each employer
The speed-up ranges from the mini
mum of SO to 100 per cent more
production per worker.
Police Terror Continues.
Arrests still continue. Police en-
tered the home of Augustus c. G.
Pinto, who was arrested Is times

received in a police cell had injured
his kidneys, and placed him under
arrest. Police insisted on removing
him to Jail Immediately. Only the
protests of his wife and the attend
ing physician prevented immediate
removal. Germaine Madieros, a

rested also.

MussOlini Calls Press
in Italy Free, But
1t Must Be Fascist

ROME, Oct. 11.-The press in
Italy may freely express itself on
matters of science, art, literature
and music and can even call Mus
solini a mediocre violin player"
but it may not criticize fascism or
its regime at home, said Premier
Mussolini to editors of 10 fascist
newspapers here.
He also condemned "cannibal tao
tics" and critical writings outside of
those which are entirely favorable
to the regime, and, as whole, he
was quite franl; as to the chained
policy of all newspaper policies in
Italy, although he insisted on call
ing the fascist press the ''freest" in
the world.

a Chevrolet automobile drove by, and
three men opened fire upon him.
The miner shielded his face with his
hand, and as a bullet hit his palm,
Polka tripped and fell. Believing
him to be dead, the automobile sped
on, but not until they had fired a
volley which missed the miner on
the dark road.
His arm in sling, Polka is as ac-
tive as ever, organizing locals thru
out the Staunton region for the
new union. Polka has arranged
series of mass meetings throughout
the district at which he and Tony
Minerich speak, rallying the miners
to the new union, and to fight the
latest sell-out of the U. M. W. A.
officials, the wage reduction.
Lewis Completely Discredited
Completely discredited in tn e
mine fields, the Lewis takers stop
at nothing in their attempt to pre-
vent the growth of the National
Miners Union.
Before the National Convention
opened in Pittsburgh, two delegates
had been murdered, two others seri-
ously wounded, and gangsters, many
of whom were later recognized as
u. M. w. A. officials and company
detectives, were arming themselves
with black jacks, knives and every
manner of weapon to attack the
delegates at the convention hail..
The story how the delegates sue
cessfully repealed the gangsters,
and in spite of wholesale arrests and
every form of terrorism, held their
convention anyhow, and organized
the National Miners Union, has be-
come a classic in the mining camps
throughout the country. Dozens of
these gangsters were thrown out of
lodges and other organizations of
which they were members upon their
return home. Those Lewis officials
who were recognized and exposed
dare not show their faces in the
camps.
New Union Fights.
Police, courts, coal company
agents, uniformed and unauthorized,
are cooperating with the Lewis Off
Gals to stem the rapid growth of
the National Miners Union. Louis
Carboni, murderer of George Moran,
a progressive leader of Bentleyville,
Pa, was white-washed by a mock
coroner's inquest conducted by the
district attorney and jury of six
courthouse attaches. According to
i, John Watt, president, and Pat Too
hey, secretary, the National Miners
Union is taking up the fight against
legalizing murder and permitting
Lewis gangsters freed hand.
Judging by the number Of appli-
cations for charters and dues stamps
that come to US every day." the
secretary says, "these outrageous at
tacks are squirting on the growth of
our union"

Instruments of Torture.

Some of the instruments of tor
ture used in the Italian prisons are
the revolver, with the butt of which
the prisoners are beaten on the head.
Bundles of newspapers and rubber
cudgels are used for the same pur-
pose, and even a bust of Dante. The
prisoners are generally brought up
for hearing in the middle of the
night, after being left in the dark
without food for to 4 days. The
police are generally half drunk, so
that they may not lack Courage. I"
The commanding torturers are the
Commentators d'Amico, head of the
Florentine political brigade, and the
commissary Cammarota.

COL UMBIA ANTI
COMMUNIST LAW
HITS NICARAGUA
Will Prevent Aid to
SANDING

BOGOTA, Colombia, Oct. Ii
Another aspect of the projected law
to grant extraordinary powers to
the government for the suppression
of Communism was revealed in to-
days discussion of the project.
When Minister of War Rengifo
arose to argue for the law he made
the point that if the law were passed
the government would also be en-
powered to suppress any movement
in Colombia which took up the cause
of another South American country
fighting for independence or against
the Entertainments of an imperialist
power. AS an example, he cited the
lectures of General Rivas, a follower
of General SANDING, who had come
to Colombia to plead the cause of
the Nicaraguans.
The minister of war declared that
such activity was harmful to the
country and should be suppressed.
The new law under consideration
would enable the government to pre-
vent such lectures as well as any
move by Colombians to help the
fighting Nicaraguans.
Traitors Like U. S. Policy.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct. II.
Full approval of the policy fol-
lowed by the United States in
Nicaragua, and full satisfaction with
the use of American marines and
planes to safeguard the elections
were expressed by both liberal and
conservative leaders here.
President Diaz, head of the con-
servative party, and General Mon
cado, head of the liberal party,
were at one in their praise of Gen
eral MacCoy's tactics. The latter
declared: 1--WE have believed in the
fairness of Americans throughout"

BERLIN (By MaiD.-All news
received from Italy report the hope
less condition of Umberto Terracini,
dangerously i'll in the Jail of Santa
Stefano. Numerous protests have
been sent to Mussolini, demanding
that Terracini be removed to hos
pital, but the fascist government re-
fuses to allow this.
Terracini, suffering from tuber-
culous, hemhorrage of the hands and
feet, lies in his cell without bandages
or indictments, and utterly cut off
from his relations. The food is not
fit even for healthy prisoners, and
no food may be sent from outside.
Terracini's case is not isolated; this
treatment is part of a system rem
dering fascist sentences tantamount
to death sentence. Other prisoners
lying dangerously i'll are Gramsci,
Mimic Cone, Celasia, Carlo Tango
bardio, Ricci, Boldrini, Cambi and
Caruglieri.
