local organs of the Commissariat with

SILK STRIKE IN
SHANGHAI over
Walk-out Took Place
Despite Kuomintang

SHANGHAI, March 15.-Forty
thousand silk workers who went on
strike in spite of the municipal au-
thorities have returned to work. More
than 80 silk failures in Shanghai
were involved.
Altho the terms of the agreement
have not yet been made public, the
workers are believed to have won
their demands. The walk-out took
place in spite of the attempts Of the
Kuomintang authorities in Shanghai
to prevent it.
The Shanghai authorities have ex-
pressed alarm at the recent strike
wave and are taking steps to sup
press militant unions.

revolutionize the telephone, it was
learned today.
The scientific research station of
the Commissariat of Posts and Tele-

tests were made by applying high

took two days, and the first group
of witnesses have been heard.
The fascist court has already de-
MED the motion of the defense at
torneys for a postponement of the
trial because more than 100 defense
witnesses have not yet appeared, and
upwards of 400 of them are not per
mitted to testify for the defense by
governmental decree. The witnesses
for the prosecution total 421 and for
the defense only 240 were allowed,

These are outstanding points in the

government has sent as its repre-

enemy of national minorities in Po-

a conference with the general coun-
ell. The confederation regarded the
matter much more prosaically: in
dustrial peace by all means, but what
are the fireworks for? Conditions
differ in different industries: let the
workers in every trade get together
separately with their employers; gem
eral conditions for everybody cannot
possibly be established.
The confederation in rejecting the
general councils proposal for joint
conference, was undoubtedly prompt
ed by the conviction that the process
of the recovery of British industry"
at the expense of the workers by
bringing down wages and worsening
labor conditions in general, is only
just beginning. An attack on the tex
tile workers is at present imminent.
Peace in industry would mean to re-
frain from further attack and, ma
turally, this is not within the inter
ests of the British bourgeoisie.

trial peace pursued by the general
council has recently suffered heavy
defeat.
Hicks, the chairman of the last
Trades Union Congress in Edinburgh
made an offer of industrial peace to
the British bourgeoisie. But this olive
branch was ignored. On the 18th Of
January, Citrine, secretary of the gen
eral council, repeated the offer of
peace made at the congress, inter
preting the meaning of the proposal
in windy speech on behalf of the
general council. The general council
would like to come to tergns with
those employers organizations au-
thorized to speak on behalf of al the
employers in England. Citrine named
two of the biggest employers organi-
cations: the National Confederation
Of Employers and the Federation of
British Industries, covering almost
the whole of British industry. Citrine
at the same time pooh-poohed The
idea of the general cornell sittiro

The State Department declared
that this government will supervise

ton congress may take.
That more marines may be des-
patched to Nicaragua to force the

was indicated in certain quarters.
The opposition to United States
Supervision" of elections comes
from two sources. The genuine ma
tionalist elements under General San
dino are struggling against United
States Intervention in Nicaragua;
while faction of the conservative
party dominated by General Cham
orro is opposing marine supervision
because Chamorro has been barred
from candidacy by the State Depart
ment. The reactionaries realize that
the State Department is supporting

SOME PLAIN TALK ON CRIME

Statistics say that from 1918
to 1926, inclusive, of the 1882
people killed in New York City,
only eight we're slain by men de-
Tending their own lives.
Such figures do not prove that
the average person does not
need a pistol for defense; they
may prove that existing anti
pistol laws have kept many of
the 1874 victims from defending
themselves. Most of the 1882
killers went free on pleas of in
sanity, or through frantic ap
peals of soldering sentimental
lists who bad already robbed In

murderers and who sob over the
woes of the human butcher and

Indiscriminate pistol toting
may we'll be declared unlawful,
like the possession of poisons or
powerful explosives where their
menace outweighs their neces
sity. But by no stretch of the
imagination could even univer
sal pistol-toting be as loathsome
or as deadly as a law to leave
decency helpless and at the
mercy of Vice.
The remedy for crime does not
lie in forbidding arms for legiti

There is no restriction as to
subjects, but of course, they
must deal with meat; either
