attention of the organization, the
effort being to develop a thoroughly
militant union alive to all the issues
which effect the workers and to
furnish them on effective leader
ship.
Besides Hongkong the reports of
Swallow and Singapore are centers
for organization activity. Two sea-
men sent to Swallow last February
for this purpose were arrested and
executed upon their arrival bv the
Kuomintang authorities. Two more
sent later met a similar fate. In
Singapore the situation is a little
better, for the union maintains a
semi-legal status. There are two
branch unions, with twenty more
steamers on which units are func-
tlomng. At recent conference an
executive committee of thirteen was
elected, five of whom are to reside
there to supervise the work. It was
also decided to publish a paper To

hing Worker Tells How Anagauaed Officials Broke Up Strike Allowed
"1he Great Power" at the
Ritz Is Pretty Weak Tea

MYRON c. PAGAN, a man of
AVA many plays, is still glued to the
gospel that without good works a
mans wealth will avail him moth
ing when he takes flight on golden
wings to the celestial region where
a Christian is supposed to be held
to strict accountability for his
worldly indiscretions.
Mr.. Pagan worked his theory into
a piece titled "The Great Power"
which is now holding forth at the
Ritz Theatre, with John 7. Doyle
doing his best and doing it we'll to
make John Powers, the money mo-
gul, so wicked that it would take a
god with heart as soft as a cream
puff to resist the temptation to let
him off with anything less than a
couple of million years in purga-
tory.
Mr.. Power was as hard as hick-
DRY on every man, woman or child
that stood between him and what
ever goal he aimed at. His ruth
lessness sent his wife to an early
grave and brought on a feud with
Mr.. Wray, his first business part
ner. Not content with dancing over
Ways grave, Power made war on
Wray's descendants. Wray's daugh-

her brother from the wrath of the
OGRE Powers, and went to the ex-

Workers Respond to
Campaign
by q Worker Correspondent

TRENTON, N. j., (By Mail).-
The Workers Party 1928 election
campaign has opened with great en-
thusiasm and success in Trenton.
With the formation of a campaign
committee, plans and details were
mapped out for the future activities
which will make our Party a factor
to reckon with in this city.
Many Negroes At Meet.
Altho activities were opened as
early as February, the campaign
was really initiated at an open air
meeting at which Herbert Benz amin
spoke. The meeting was marked
success, not only from the point of
view of attendance, but from the
amount of literature sold, especially
among the Negro workers. Such
meetings are being held regularly
in every section of the city end as
the election draws nearer will be
increased in number.
The workers of Trenton are at the
present time suffering from Cool
idge prosperity" a prosperity"
which to the bosses means greater
production and enormous profits but
to the workers means low wages,
unemployment and body-grinding
speed-up system.
Traction Crisis.
The unemployment of last winter
has decreased very little and many
are still out of work. A number of
rubber mills have shut down pern1a-
nently and at those factories where
production increased due to the
speed-up very few workers were re-
employed. The working conditions
are bad in general.
A crisis is developing among the
traction workers, not only against
the corporation itself, but also
against the officials of the union
who, thru cooperation with the trac-
ton officials, are daily betraying
the workers.
A spontaneous strike is imminent
among the workers at the Scammell
China Co.
Important tasks confront our
Party hare in the near future.

son to expect favors that no nice
girl would confer on a young man
without legal sanction, in order to
possess certain discriminating docu~
ments.
But darn it if she did not fall
in love with the fellow, and shoot
her former sweetheart, thus bring
ing on further complications which
called for district attorneys, and
questionings and surprises, at the
end of which Powers was knocked
out as flat as Mike McTigue.
Whereupon Mr.. Pagan sends his
chief character into a trance during
which he sees the angels. After his
bout with god, Powers becomes
better if not a bigger man, love has
its inning and the curtain comes
down.
Just another play. IT. J. OF.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, (By
MaiD Since we in the De Laval
Separator Co. began to think about
our conditions, the management of
the factory has done everything to
twist the issue.
At first it advertised in the fac
tory that we ought to go and hear
the faker O'Brien and for over a
week he was standing on the corner
telling US what a good constitution
and government we have and how
prosperous" we are, in spite of the
fact that our wives and children
have to work in the factory because
we cannot make a living on forty
cents an hour
Want Cheap Hands.
Now Mr.. Miller, our manager,
comes out in the press saying that
the trouble is that we haven't enough
skilled tool-makers and that the city
should teach the children a skilled
trade. Then the Separator Com
pany will have cheaper skilled
hands.
Why don't you, Mr.. Miller, men
ton the wages that skilled tool
are making in your factory?
And how MANY tool-makers do you
need? We will supply you with
couple of thousand in one day.
And how many first class mechan-
les, carpenters, masons, bricklayers,
plasterers and painters have been
walking the streets in the last ten
months? No, Mr. Miller, it is not
a question of the constitution or
other fake issues that have nothing
TO do with the case. Our only sal
walton is strong union, not only
in the De Laval, but in all Pough-
keepsie factories. And we want a
union whose leaders will not sell us
out to the bosses, a real one, made
by us and for ourselves.

The fact that the workers of
South China are fast recovering
from the heavy blows dealt them
during the reaction of the past year
is evidenced from many reports of
renewed activity. Notable among
these is the conference held in, Hong
kong for the revival of the Seamen's
Union. 1t will be recalled that the
members of this union in 1922 waged
world famous strike for many
months, eventually winning a bril-
liant victory, securing substantial
wage increases and improved work
ing conditions. This victory had an
enormous influence in stimulating
the labor movement of the entire
country and until the forcible dis
solution of the union last year by
the combined efforts of the big ship
ping companies aided by both the
imperialists and the reactionary
Chinese authorities it was looked
upon as one of the most militant

and effectively organized Of all
Chinese trade unions.
Work Under Great Difficulties.
Organization of the seamen after
the breakup of their union has been
very difficult. Company spies, gov
eminent detectives representing the
governments of the corporations
concerned and the anti-labor Chinese
authorities as WE'LL the fear of the
workers lest they be summarily
seized for participating in labor
organization, and difficulties of
dialects,-between natives of Kuan-
tung and Fukien Provinces, for in
stance,-all these had to be over
come. Nevertheless good progress
had been made already, delegates
reporting the organization of 81
branch unions during the months of
April, May and June.
Of these 80 were formed on the
steamers and 81 in the dormitories
which house the men on their ar
rival at Hongkong or in between
voyages. 1t is estimated that this
furnishes the nucleus of an organi-
cation on almost one-half of the big
ships which stop regularly at this
port. Despite the still incomplete
organization there have been strug-
giles during each of these months,
principally over the matter of the
arbitrary discharge of workers.
Organizers Work In Disguise.
Organization work has naturally
been easiest among those shipping
lines whose seamen are recruited
from participants in the great strike
of 1922. A difficulty encountered
here, however, was the attitude of
good many that they were "su-
perior" to the ordinary run Of sea-
men just because of their part in
that struggle. In many cases or
ganizers could not directly breach
union matters, but had to disguise
themselves as peddlers, thus draw
ing out the sentiment of the men
approached.
Another difficulty springs from
the oppressive tactics of the Kuo-
mintang Reorganization Commit
tee" which aims to tie the seamen
to the reactionary militarists. The
savage repression exercised by this
committee has brought about a state
Of mind among the common seamen
which is only gradually being over
come. Contributing towards arous-
ing new militancy are the sue
cessive wage reductions forced on
the workers. Just recently their
pay has been again cut, this time by
ten per cent.
Basis For Strong Movement.
Not only are the militant seamen
interested in the rebuilding of their
own organization, but they realize
clearly the need of the powerful all
inclusive alliance of the workers of
all trades and industries. They
therefore took the initiative in call
ing a conference of representatives
of all the Hongkong workers in or
der to lay the foundation for a
strong labor movement in that city.
Literature was issued and circu-
lated in the working class quarters
with such slogans "All Hongkong
Workers Should Unite!" "The Sea-
men Have, Rebuilt Their Trade
Union" "Now Let the Other Work
ers of Hongkong Rebuild Theirs!"
etc, and calling for organized strug-
gle against the cutting of wages,
lengthening of work hours and I'M
employment. National issues, such
as the Anti-Japanese boycott, and
international, such as the war

Well Organized Body.

The Seamen's Union (Hongkong)
is governed by an executive COM
mittee of seventeen, with nine al
ternates. The Standing Committee
numbers nine, of whom seven are
required to be constantly in the city.
Under this Standing Committee
there are five subcommittee: secre-
tarial, organizational, agitation and
propaganda, investigation, and fin
ancial. Each subcommittee chair
man must be a member of the
Standing Committee.
There is special apparatus for
establishing and maintaining connec-
tons with the workers. Various
ether institutions, such as workers
clubs, classes, etc, have been estab-
lished also. 1t should be remem-
bered in connection with this work
that in Hongkong, as in other British
controlled territories in China, the
organization of labor unions is
strictly forbidden under severe pen
alties, while such activity in Chinese
controlled territory as in Swatow is
enough to ensure a summary execu-
ton. 1t is under conditions such as
these that the Chinese workers are
forging the tools for their ultimate
victory.
