DIAMONDWORKERS
STILL ON STRIKE
Government Anxious to
Crush Walkout

CAPETOWN, June %. South
African native workers continued to
stream into the town of Lichtenburg
yesterday from the diamond diggings
just outside where a strike inyolv-
ing $4,000 was declared two days ago.
Most of the strikers, many with
their entire families, have left the
diamond fields with all their possess
sions and have now no place to stay.
Hundreds of the diamond workers
are being temporarily housed in the
town hall, in a number Of churches
and other available buildings. Their
suffering, owing to the abrupt
march, is in some cases considerable.
The police of the South African
government are on hand and are
threatening to take extreme meas
ures to suppress any action the strik-
ers may take in the course of meet
ings and demonstrations.
The government is reported to be
thoroughly alarmed by what it re-
CARDS as one of the most crucial sit
uation in years.

strife Between workers

SHANGHAI, June %. - News of
the growing strife among the Nan
king and the Kuominchun warlords,
and the understanding that the for
mer are arriving at with the Japan
ese government is reflected in vari-
Gus reports reaching Shanghai: from
Picking.
The struggle between the northern
warlords reached an acute stage
when the soldiers of Feng Yu Ssiang,
rival of the Marking government in
the race for the possession of Pek-
ing, disarmed the troops of the Nam
king general, Pal Chung-tsi. The
incident has caused deep resentment
among the warning factions.
At the same time, calculated CO.
operation between the governments
of Marking could be seen in the an
nouncement that the Japanese fleet
is to be withdrawn from the Yang
tse.
This announcement follows the re-
port that a meeting called by the
Teachers and Students Union in Pek-
ing had been dispersed by the police
and troops.

EXPECT SEAMEN
MAY JOIN HUGE
HARB0R WALKOUT
Police Fail to Smash
Meetings

ANTWERP, June 22.-Following
the strike Of the lockers discharging
the grain cargo of the British Red
Star liner, Belgenland, here, ten thou
sand longshoremen have joined in
huge walk-out that is threatening to
tie up all domestic and foreign ship
ping in the principal Belgian port.
The Belgenland was compelled to SAL
without unloading her entire cargo
The walkout Of the stevedores fol-
lowed the refusal of the Red Star of
ficials to accede to the demand of the
lockers for wage increase. The men
unloading the big British ship walked
out unanimously and were shortly
afterwards followed by thousands
along the waterfront.
A heavy fog hung over the Scheldt
yesterday and as meetings of the
strikers gathered in the narrow quays
and streets, the police attempted to
dispense the strikers. They were
booed and Kissed by the longshoremen
and sympathizers.
Every effort is being made by the
strikers to bring out the seamen who
are sympathetic. Leaders of the har-
Dor workers declare that the seamen
will be out within the next few days.

This part of Mrs. Pratt's income

Mrs. Pratt's death with an assured

ATTACK BRITISH
LABOR PARTY
Appeal for Workers
Conferences

LONDON, June pa manifesto
attacking the present tendencies in
regards to class collaboration in the
labor movement, has been issued by
the labor leaders, A. j. Cook and
Maxton.
The manifesto after declaring
against cooperation of the workers
with the British capitalists, lays
down the principles of an unceasing
war against capitalism and asserts
that the workers can win, the pro-
ducts of their labor only by their
own efforts.
The manifesto further condemns
the view that the Labor Party
should be national and not work
ing class party.
The calling of rank and file confer
ences for the expression of the work
ers' views concerning the present
policy is also urged. No concrete diff
ferences with the Labor Party are
stated in the manifesto, however.
The London Daily Herald, organ
of the British Labor Party, in lead
ing article violently condemns the
manifesto.
The capitalist press, while hailing
what it interprets as a split in the
ranks of the British Labor Party, is
alarmed lest the move turn out to the
advantage of the Committee.

PARIS, June 22.-The bplitical and
economic situation in France and the
consequent tasks of the French Com
munist Party were discussed at yes
terday's session of the national con-
ference of the Party.
The delegates unanimously rejected
Renaud's condemnation Of the Party's
electoral tactics. Speaker after speak
er declared that the tactics were UNI
derstood where explained, and proe
tested any revision Of the organiza-
ton.
Chasseigne and Berlioz, reporting
on conditions thruout the country, de-
clared that there is no Improvement
in the economic prosperity Of France.
This is proved, they asserted, by the
increasing class consciousness of the
masses of French workers.
Bernard, of the Political Buro, up
held the Party's policies while admit
ting the general disregard of the
danger of opportunism.
Speaking for the Youth League,
Billoux addressed the convention on
the need of combating Party passiv-
ity. He declared that opportunism
can be conquered by the cooperation
Of the Party leaders and not by dis
trust.
Jacob sl.en urged the intensification
Of united front activity by helping the
workers in their daily demands.
Presenting the trade union report,
Monmousseau attacked the dangerous
reformist decisions Of class collabora-
ton which are supposed to be for the
workers advantage, owing to increas-
ed production.
In spite Of the efforts of the reform
lists in the labor movement, he pointed
out, strikes are now more aggressive
than ever. He further declared that
neutrality-suspicious. must be wiped
out, while the organization of the in
dustrial districts must be speeded up.
Monmousseau also asserted the ne
cessity Of combating the errors OF
the Paris district on the questions OF
leader.hip in the trade unions.
