POSTPONE CASES
OF IS WORKERS
Tag Day Collectors to
Be Tried Friday

The cases of 13 of the Is workers
arrested for participating in the
Chinese Tag Day Sunday were post
poned until Friday when they ap-
peared yesterday morning before
Magistrate Gotlieb in the First Dis
trict Court. This is the same mag
istrate who several weeks ago SEN
fenced a number of workers to jail
terms for participation in an anti
imperialist demonstration in Wall
st.
Edith Segal, one of those arrested
Sunday, was held overnight in the
Heckscher Foundation. Her case
was dismissed when she appeared
yesterday in Children's Court.
Another of the arrested workers,
Rachel Silburg, who was arrested
Saturday night, was ordered to ap-
pear in the Municipal Building.
He- collection box was taken away
from her and when she appeared in
court yesterday morning, she was
told that District Attorney Banton's
office would make an investigation
into the Tag Day detectives.
The drive for funds to aid the
Chinese workers, which was initiated
with the Tag Days, will continue
for three weeks. Circulation of an
appeal to labor unions, fraternal or
ganizations and individuals will be-
gin this week. More than $4,000
circulars, portraying in pictures the
life of the Chinese workers under
the White Terror regime of the
Marking reactionaries, will be sent
throughout the country.
Tens of thousands of dollars are
needed to save the lives of the fam
lilies of White Terror victims. Ac-
tive trade unionists are being dis
charged by the hundreds and their
places filled by less class-conscious
workers from the country. In
Shanghai 80 per cent of the factory
workers have been recruited from
the peasantry during the past
eighteen months. The old guard of
militants is starving, but their
fighting spirit has not been
crushed.
Some of them can be found among
the leaders of the peasant unions,
while others have gone into the
small towns. These are the workers
on whose behalf the All-China Fed
Grafton of Labor Unions is appeal
ing to the workers of this country
for help.

STRIKE VOTE
FOR TRAINMEN
Officials Garry On New
Maneuver

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Officials of
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men announced yesterday that they
would take a strike vote as result
of the refusal of the western and
southwestern roads to meet their
demands for flat minimum wage
increase of TIA per cent.
The announcement was made by
A. R. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood as result of wide
spread sentiment among the work
ers for strike action.
The Brotherhood is tied by the in
famous Parker Law as a result of
which strikes have been practically
outlawed on the railroads. When
other lines were given an increase
about a year ago and the south
western lines were refused an in
crease it was openly charged that
the "mediators' had been reached
by the railroads during the lunch
hour while negotiations were going
on. The case has been stalled off
for year.
Strike action will result only from
the mass pressure of the workers
themselves, it is believed.

Issue Appeals To Aid
Strikers

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 13.
Addressing themselves to all
workers organizations throughout
the country, and mailed to as many
of them as they found possible, the
Workers International Relief, now
active in the New Bedford textile
strike area, appealed for contribu-
tions to alleviate the suffering from
want, daily affecting more and more
strikers as the strike enters its
eighteenth week Of struggle. The
letter is signed Fred Biedenkapp,
relief director, and says, in part:
"With tho ordering of mounted
police and the National Guard into
tho strike zone the mill owners have
issued instructions that no more
charity relief by the city is to be
given the strikers. They are to be
starved into accepting the wage re-
duction.
eve ask you to give heed to our
plea for help. We urge you to do
everything possible in support of
the striking textile workers. Send
US your contribution and have your
friends do the sane"

What is signified as the most i'm

the big demonstration in Cooper

Finally convinced that Interna-

by the disruptive tactics of its right
wing and reactionary leadership,
representatives of every important
local of the International, met in

BRITISH HEELS

LONDON, Aug. IS (UP).-The
government today issued the Chi
nese-British agreement settling the
Marking incident of last year when
one American and several British
subjects were killed by Southern
Chinese troops entering Marking.
The Nationalists offered apologies
for the incident and compensation
for personal injuries and losses coin
cident with the lootings and killings.
Hundreds of Chinese men, women
and children were slaughtered when
British and American gunboats
bombarded Marking last year. The

PICKETZNG IS RIOTING!
81 VS. FALL RIVER JUDGE
Especial to the Daily Worker.J

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 13.-
"Mass picketing constitutes riot"
was the decision handed down by
Judge Hanify, who openly acted as
the mill baron's prosecutor in the
trial of Peter Hegelias a leader of
the striking textile workers here. AS
in the case of other picket leaders
yesterday, Hegelias receives a jail
sentence of 6 months.
Today's trial, everyone agreed,
was an openly planned attempt to
outlaw all picketing of the struck
mills.
Isadore Levin, attorney for the
international Labor Defense, in a
brilliant cross examination proved
beyond all doubts that the disorders
prevalent last week on the picket
line were caused by organized police
terrorism, clubbings and arrests of
pickets.

in the Evening Standard, a local
paper, the strikers attorney proved
that the police Intentionally adopted

after an arrested striker has been
taken into custody. The picture

three uniformed thugs, his face dis
torted with pain.
When the prosecutor reported to
the Judge that Hegelias was union
organizer the judge rasped out his
vicious sentences.
Hegelias was also compelled to
furnish a $1,000 surety bond that
will be forfeited in the event of his
being arrested again. Two thou

CALL FOR
BIG SACCO MEET
Expect $4,000 at Huge
Memorial

Rose Baron, secretary Of the
New York section of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, 799 Broad
way, yesterday issued a mass call
to some $4,000 members and at
filiated members of the organiz1k
ton to take part in the Sacco-Van-
zetti memorial demonstration which
will take place on Union Square at
p. M, Wednesday, August 22nd.
The appeal, which is printed on
Western Union telegraph blanks to
impress members of the organiza-
ton with the urgency for making
the demonstration a genuine mass
protest, reads in part:
"The Sacco-Vanzetti demonstra-
ton which takes place on August
22nd in Union Square is not far
off. One hundred thousand leaflets
have already been printed and are
ready for distribution. We urge all
branches to elect special commit
tees for distribution of these leaf
let's. Every shop and factory in
New York must be covered. Call at
this office for leaflets Immediately.
There is only one week left. Put
everything else aside and devote the
next few days to building huge
Sacco-Vanzetti memorial demon
stration in Union Square. Act at
once. Signed, Rose Baron"
Leaflets have been printed in
English, Italian and Yiddish and
already more than $4,000 have been
distributed at factories, shops and
offices.
It is estimated that the memorial
demonstration will be the largest
outdoor meet ever staged in New
York. 1t will rival the meeting held
in New York prior to the murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti last August
when, on one occasion, more than
$4,000 New York workers filled
Union Square.

NICARACUAN HITS
U. S. IMPERIALISM
Protection of Property
is Not Motive

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Aug.
13 (UP)3Discussion of United
States intervention in Nicaragua
usually has been based on false is
sues, said DIR. 7. S. Vaca at the
round table discussion of the Pub
lie Affairs Institute here today.
Vaca acted as representative in
Washington of Vice President Sa-
casa of Nicaragua in 1926.
"Nicaraguan intervention has
been explained officially and unof-
ficially on three grounds" he said.
f-Namely, protection of lives and
property of Americans; or some
forollary to the Monroe Doctrine;
or the Nicaraguan Canal issue.
They are all false.
"Those thoroughly acquainted
with the situation know there has
never been any danger to American
property or lives until recent
months, when, after II years of
intervention, General Sandino, in
retaliation, destroyed some Ameri-
can property. This brought out the
fact that the marines were not pro-
tecting American property" he said.
an order to interest Americans
and to make it an issue of para
mount Importance, the question of a
canal through Nicaragua was raised
as an excuse to give the Diaz ad-
ministration 100000 to relieve
financial distress. The canal issue
pops up every time there is dis
turbance in Nicaragua requiring ex-
planation."
He charged that Nicaraguan
schols, which he said had been flour
ishing before American interven-
ton, were now neglected and fail
ing. The same condition was true
lin railroad and communication facil-
ities, he said, and other industries
had suffered because of at years
of meddling."

SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.-Follow-
ing the reports that Baron Hayashi,
sent by the Japanese government to
confer with Chang Hseuh-liang, has
given the Manchurian war lord an
ultimatum that amounted to
threat of military Intervention if
Manchuria allied itself with the
Marking regime, the Marking gov
ernment is reported to be prepar-
ing note to the United States gov
ernment asking for it's support
against Japan's aggression.
Hayashi, who had been in Mukden
during the last week in an attempt
to confer with the Manchurian die
tator, is reported to have told him
that the Japanese government had
decided against the proposed ale
glance of the two reactionary gov
ernments, because, in its opinion,
Japanese interests in Manchuria
would be threatened. Hayashi is
reported to have made it clear that
in the event of Manchuria being in
cluded in the Marking regime the
Japanese government would be pre-
pared to use its military.
A statement issued by the jap
anese foreign office insisted on it's
decision not to revise the existing
commercial treaties between Nank-
ing and itself, and declared that
the japanese government would not
begin negotiations for the settle
ment of the Marking and Tsinanfu
incidents or any other negotiations
until the Manchurian situation was
settled according to its wishes.
Japan's Command Obeyed.
TOXIC, Aug. 13.-A dispatch
from Mukden to vernacular news

This announcement came after
Baron Hayashi had warned the war
lord that Japan was ready to use
military force to protect her inter
ests in Manchuria. Chang is also
reported to have told the Japanese
representative that he did not wish
to join the Nanking regime because
of dissensions within it's ranks that
might lead to civil war.

Burmese Lackeys of
British I'm ialism
Vote Help to Simon

RANGOON, Burma, Dec. 16.-The
Burmese legislative council, dom
mated by the British rulers Of this
easternmost province of India,
voted" today to appoint a commit
tee to cooperate with the John
Simon Commission, sent by the Brit
ish imperialists to work out sys-
tenn by which India could be NOM
inally given more independence"
and at the same time retain British
domination. The vote was 49 to 20.
The Simon Commission, in it's
tour through India, has been met
everywhere by violent mass demon
STATIONS of protest. The wave of
anger against British domination is
so strong that it is necessary to
protect the commission with large
armed guards and surround the rail-
road stations, where they are ex-
pected, with barbed-wire entangle-
nents.
