TRIED BY TURKS
Workers Crowd Court
as Leaders Face Terms

The trial of forty-eight of the one
hundred and fifty Turkish Commu-
nists arrested during the Angora
Governments November raids in Con-
stantinople, Smyrna, Trebizond and
Odana, has begun at STEAMBOAT, des-
patches from Constantinople state.
The raids at which the Communists
were arrested followed the strike Of
the Turkish tobacco workers who re-
fused to allow the Renal government
attempt to confiscate a days pay
for the purpose of buying airplanes
and war material for the Angora gov
eminent.
The police raids were carried out
with the utmost brutality in all sec
lions of the country.
Among the Communists now on
trial is DR.. Chefik Hussein Bey, who
it is alleged, returned to Turkey in
disguise in order to carry on his ac-
tivities among the workers after the
kemal government had forbidden
them.
DR.. Bey asserted boldly in the face
of the court that the workers and
peasants of Turkey have no part in
the Turkish government. Using the
court which may sentence him to a
long prison term, as rostrum from
which to speak his message to the
Turkish masses, DR.. Bey declared
that the Soviet Union is the model
which all the workers of the world
must follow in self government.
The trial has created great excite
ment and hundreds of Turkish work
ers and peasants crowd daily to the

STRIKE LOOMS AS
CONFERENCE ENDS
Workers Urge Strike in
Spite of Leaders

MANCHESTER, Eng, Jan. 49,
The conference between the various
cotton workers. unions and the Cot
ton Manufacturers Association held
yesterday ended when the representa-
tives of the workers flatly refused the
demands Of the employers for 121A
per cent reduction in wages and an
increase of from 48 to 81 hours per
week. Approximately 100000 work
ers are affected.
The likelihood of another confer
ence in the near future became ap-
parent when the union delegates to
the conference agreed to a proposal
of the mill owners that an investiga-
ton be made by government com
mittee on the condition of the indus
try.
While most union leaders put their
faith in a government commission,
the majority of workers, it is be-
lieved, favor an Immediate strike.
Minority leaders are urging walk
out to prevent the wage cuts and an
increase in hours in the whole cotton
goods industry.
The unions were represented at
yesterdays conference by 1870 dele
gates and the employers by 90. The
government commission is expected
to report in about two weeks.

CAIRO, (By MaiD ,-+After a hull
of three years new wave of strikes
hasswept over Egypt. Despite the
treacherous leaders and the concilia-
ton boards, the workers are coming
out on strikes. When the Belgian
Company running the Fauna Rail
road attempted to lower wages, the
railwaymen took up the class strug-
gle-they came out on strike In
Cairo the silk workers declared a
strike while in Alexandria the tram
waymen came out.
Very characteristic is the tram
waymen's dispute which has already
lasted several months. The govern
ment endeavored by arbitration to
settle the differences between the
foreign tramway company and the
workers. However, all their efforts
were fruitless. The foreign company
spared no effort to dupe the men and
evaded granting the demands of thu
men or settling the issue in a direct
way. The bourgeoisie did their best
to avert the strike which in present
day conditions may well encourage
other trades to come out.
Want Labor Laws"
The Egyptian press, both foreign
and native, are raising an alarm and
urging that everything be done to
appease the workers. Once again
have they called attention to the
Communist danger" In fact the
Egyptian bourgeoisie are so alarmed
over the "Red DANGER" that they are
even ready to concede labor legisla-
ton.
The alarm of the bourgeoisie is
shown conclusively by the fact that
bourgeois public opinion and indeed
the government itself is urging the
immediate enactment of labor pro-
lection laws. The present formation
pf commission to draft these labor
laws can only be put down to this.
The bourgeoisie aspire to set up a
dam that will be strong enough to
withstand the onslaught of labor.

are proclaiming that Moscow agents"

today when the strike wave is ris-

The king and the state is being pro-
voked.
Attention must be given this "af-
fair" which throws much light on the
methods used by the Egyptian reac-
ti2naries in their struggle against the
working class. The Egyptian Com
munist Party, "the Moscow Commun-
ist Party" the Soviet representative
who arrived to purchase cotton, and
several other prominent Egyptians,
such as the president of the National
Party, have all been involved in this
conspiracy"
Shuchat, the well-known Egyp-
tan provocateur is staging the af-
fair. The latter got in touch with a
Communist who had just finished a
term Of Imprisonment and asked him
to initiate the organization of Com
rnunist congress. The Communist was
told that the Soviet representative
was thinking of appointing him as
an agent for the purchase of cotton
for the u. S. S. R., and finally the
provocateur convinced him that he
should agree to this appointment.
Qisavow Agent.
Alli-Shuchat shereupon informed
the police that Communist congress
had been held with "Agents from
Moscow" participating. This provo
cateur declared that the Communists
had drawn up plan to assassinate
the Egyptian king and to cause
revolution and that the Moscow
Communist Party" had already sent
enough money for this purpose to
Egypt.
The Egyptian disciples of Joynson-
Hicks who thought of staging a Com
munist conspiracy had the bottom
knocked out of their plans. Even the
police under pressure Of the progress
sive Egyptian press suspected the
statements of the provocateur. In
deed they we're forced in the end to
disavow their own agent and to hand
him over for trial.
