CHINESE LIMOGES
BREAK SILK union
Use Guns in Attempt
To Break Strike

SHANGHAI, July 10.-The strike
of $4,000 silk workers in the fac
tories here was forcibly broken
when the commander of the Chin
csc garrison in Shanghai used bull
lets to dissolve the union of the silk
spinners because the union refused
to appeal to the striking workers to
return to work in accordance with
the milita1ists' demand.
The spinners went on strike al
most a month ago, when the con-
ditions under which they had been
working in the factories became I'M
bearable. They struck against the
long hours and the excessive over
time that they were forced to put
in every day of the week; against
the pay, which was even smaller
than that of workers in American
factories, and against the inhumap
slave-driving treatment they re-
ceived at the hands of the bosses
officials.
In spite of the forcible dissolu-
ton of the union by the military
forces, however, only half of the
factories originally hit by the strike
have recommended work.

F ARMER-L-ABOR'
PARTY FADING
Ready To Merge With
Old Parties

CHICAGO, July IA resolution
to combine the Far1ner-Labor Party
with the Prohibition Party was in
PRODUCED at the conventions of the
two parties today, after the Pro-
hibition Party was confronted with
resolution to choose Hoover, Re-
publican nominea as their candi-
date for president.
The resolution was decided upon
last night, the commit being in
session until 2 a. m. today. 1t
stated that the committee favored
coalition of the two parties dur
ing the 1928 campaign.
The Prohibition Party voted to
table the resolution until the plat
form is decided upon. The Farmer
Labor convention started discussion
Of its platform without considering
the resolution.
The complete degeneration of the
so-called Farmer-Labor Party is
seen here in its willingness to en-
dorse Al Smith or possibly even
Hoover while making pretense of
attacking the reaction in both old
parties.

Truefood Restaurant. owned by his
brother, as a demonstration of SYM
pathy to the workers on strike there,
was arrested yesterday while march
ing before the place, together with
the two union pickets usually per-
mitted by the police.
In spite of being previously in
formed of the fact that the police
would permit no moe than two
pickets, SAFER nevertheless deter
mined to join the line.
Is Arrested
A huge crowd gathered in the
Times Square section W ere the res
taurant is situated. 1t watched Sa-
ger as he patrolled the place car
rying large signs denouncing his
brother and calling for boycott

Several policemen at first tried
to intimidate SAFER, but he insisted
on his right to picket the place, dis
avowing any direct connections with
the Walters and Mattresses Union.
He nevertheless maintained his own
right to picket in sympathy with the
strikers, police decided to arrest
him.

members Of which made their money
through the patronage of labor SYM

URGE HELP FOR
CREEK MILITANTS
Flags Refornists For
Betrayal

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R. (By Mail)
In statement issued here yes
terday by the Red International of
Labor Unions, the workers of
Greece whe have undergone brutal
treatment at the hands of the Greek
fascists, headed at present by Ven
izelos, and the imperialist officials
of the American Tobacco Company.
in whose plant the strike originally
broke out, were called upon to mob
ilize and continue their militant
fight. The statement, which is ad-
dressed to "the proletariat of
Greece, conducting an heroic fight.
and to "the proletariat of the whole
world" follows:
Imprison Thousands.
Hundreds and thousands of fight
ers in the cause of the working
class are thrown into prisons. The
troops and the police have been
modified against the workers
This struggle has been trans
formed into spontaneous general
strike of the Greek proletariat for
the defense of its political rights
and its organizations.
Reformists Betray Workers.
The reformist leaders of the
Greek Confederation of Labor who
a few weeks ago criminally split
the trade union movement of Greece
and expelled from it's ranks the To-
bacco Workers Union and other
revolutionary organizations, has
now hypocritically joined the gem
eral strike. In reality the social
fascists are taking all measures to
end the general strike of the Greek
proletariat in a shameful compro-
mise.
This must not take place. I'M
mediate and decisive help of the in
ternational proletariat is required
The Red International of Labor
Unions expressing it's fraternal SOL
idarity with the Greek proletariat
calls upon all trade union organiza-
tions, all workers organizations, the
workers of the whole world, to hur-
ry to the aid of the heroically strug-
Cling proletariat of Greece.
A powerful act of international
proletarian solidarity will prevent
the execution of the plans of the
Greek bourgeoisie and will defend
the class organizations of the Greek
proletariat.

ing Greek proletariat!

Continued from Page One)
ed the miners union, the Call
charges Lewis with refusing to or
ganize the unorganized miners,
smashing miners strikes in Kansas
and Nova Scotia; betraying the
Fayette-W estmoreland miners in
1929 by leaving them out of the
strike settlement, and playing
strike-breaking role in the recent
Colorado strike.
Record of Betrayal.
Splitting the anthracite from the
bituminous miners through separate
agreements expiring at different
times, and the policy of separate
agreements in the present bitumi-
nous strike, is responsible, the Call
declares, for the disastrous condi-
ton of the strike. The general eff
feet of these policies has been ito
isolate the strikers in the key dis
tricts of Pennsylvania and Ohio and
to enable the employers to shatter
the strikers forces at their leisure,
thus undermining the whole miners
organization" During all the long
months of the strike, while the
Pennsylvania and Ohio miners "have
been starving on dollar or two
week relief money, these false lead
ers drew their enormous salaries
and lived on the fat of the land"
Lewis Sabotage.
1.-THE inevitable result of all these
corruptions, betrayals, and wrong
policies by the leadership of the
United Mine Workers of America,
the Call concludes, "is the present
breaking of the union. Democracy
in the United Mine Workers of
America is dead. To depend fur
Their on the broken United Mine
Workers of America as our union,
would be for us to sink deeper and
deeper into open shop slavery. We
must build new union. We must
take the situation in hand ourselves
and break the control of the Lewis
gang. We must organize new
miners union, one with an honest
progressive leadership and fight
ing policy"
