SUPPRESS PAPER
OF COMMUNISTS

BRUSSELS, July 17.-Because of
an article that was addressed to the
soldiers and sailors and which
asked them, in case of a war, to feel
their solidarity with all the soldiers
of the capitalist governments, and
to turn their weapon against their
own bourgeois, the Communist
newspaper, "The Red Flag was
appropriated by the government.
The writer of the article, De
Boeck, and the Communist repre-
sentative in the Belgian parliament,
Jacquemotte, who is the responsible
editor for the newspaper, have been
invited to an investigation
There are two charges against
Jacquemotte, one for the above
mentioned article, for which he is
considered responsible, the other for
an article which he himself wrote
and which he entitled: "The Courts
by Order Of the Government Turn
Against Our Party"
Jacquemotte brushed the charges
aside and protested against his ar
rest since he was granted immunity
as a member of parliament, and it
had been ignored. He refused to
answer, on this ground, all further
questions.

FLINT, Mich, July 17.-Rapid
spread of the strike to other de-
partments of the General Motor cor

following the walk-out of over five
hundred men in the Fisher body
plant of the big automobile company.
Establishment of the strike COM
mittee in the Buick plant of the
same corporation has broadcast
strike sentiment among thousands of
the auto workers, that is crystaliz~
ing in the extent of swiftness with
which strike and relief organization
has already been prepared by the
Auto Workers Union. The Auto
workers union is playing an increas-
ingly active part in leading the mer

for bringing out on strike the rest

Following the initial action of the
American Federation of Labor off

to be disposed of there are those
of the ID miners of Avella, Pa,

aboard the Panama Mail steamship,
Venezuela, yesterday stood off a
superior detachment of coast guards
men, continuing to fight until cor
nered and driven below by the gov
eminent forces.
Driven to Revolt.
The story of their struggle is an
epic in the history of persecution by
officers, and resistance by men,
under the rigid discipline of the sea.
Goaded by their brutal officers.
driven to the verge of frenzy by
intolerable conditions, the Chinese
seamen two days ago found courage
to defy their officers, armed them
selves and became masters of the
boat.
Rush Military.
But the Venezuela's captain had
been able to radio to the mainland
for armed aid from the authorities
ashore. Armed coast guardsmen
were rushed to the Venezuela from
coast guard base IL at San Fran
cisco. Their superior numbers and
weapons enabled them to herd the
Chinese seamen below and later
to transfer them to the United
States vessel, President Harrison
where they are shackled and will
be held for sure frame-up and venge-
ance of the ship-owners through
criminal prosecution.
Alarmed at the mutiny, which is
the first in years aboard an Amer

handing sentences of unusual sever
ity for the Chinese sailors.

sentenced to serve three months in
Jail for picketing the gates of one

ARM WAGES GO LOWER.

WASHINGTON, (FP) July IT.
Wages of all classes of farm labor
are lower than last year, says the
Department of Agriculture. Last
year the wage level averaged 172
per cent of the pre-war standard.
while this year the average is only
ITO per cent of pre-war.
Supply of farm labor is per cent
higher than it was last July. This
fact is attributed to a lessening of
industrial employment, which has
driven men back to the land.
