REPORT MASS
ACTIVITIES IN
SHANGHAI, CHINA
$40 Factories Closed
by Strikes

SHANGHAI, tBy MaiD Five
hundred and ten factories and stores
were affected by eleven strikes
which occurred in August accord
ing to a compilation made by the
department of social affairs of the
Municipality of Greater Shanghai.
These strikes involved 1929 work
ers in all. Most of the strikes
were of short duration, and two of
the eleven were continued from
July.
The social affairs department re-
ports that Of the eleven strikes,
four we're caused by the demand for
\ increase in wages, three by the de-
mand for better treatment, and two
| by the dismissal of workers, the
rest having not cause in common.
The case Of the Chinese grocers and
the Chinese drug stores affecting
the whole business was serious.
Two strikes, namely the employees
of the Chinese silk and satin COM
panies and the Chapel silk filature
workers, starting from only one or
two companies or failures, affect
ed a number and grew complicated
in nature SO that arbitration was
hard.
The workers Of Tsung Tai Spin
ming and Weaving Mill struck be-
cause che management adopted the
calculation of wages by hanks, not
by days. A hank is a parcel of
silk consisting Of $40 yards. Ordi-
nary workers spin seven hanks a
day and are paid AZ cents each,
which is the original pay per day,
but some skillful workers can do
nine hanks a day and earn 81 cents.
The workers protested against this
introduction because the machines
very often get out of order. Some
machines, it is said, need to be re-
paired several times a day, thus
wasting the workers time.

TO PREVENT SOLIDARITY.

WARSAW, Oct. mo Jews will
be employed on the Warsaw street
cars as long as gentle workers are
obtainable, declared Alderman Ilsky
in reply to a question recently
raised in the board of aldermen by
the Jewish members regarding the
continued ignoring by the street car
management of resolution by the
board that there should be no dis
tinction made between Jewish and
non-Jewish workers on the NUM-
cipal car lines.

Youthful police were assigned to
the task of breaking up the meet

Officers Of the Civil Liberties

was taken "on the ground that the

The legal action taken by the

be mandamus proceedings to compel
the Wheeling police chief to grant
a permit for the Communist cam

suit to restrain him from interior

Millions Of Families Depend
on DR.. CaldwelPs Advice

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875. the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal quiet lives, ate plain.
wholesome food, and got plenty of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic physics
and purges for the relief OF con
stipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human
beings to put into their system. So
he wrote a prescription for a Taxa.
tive to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name Of DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people.
and they need just such mild,
safe. gentle bowel stimulant as
Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven It's worth
and Is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact
that millions of bottles are used q
year proves that 1t has won the
confidence Of people who seeded It
to get relief from headaches, bill
3ousness. flatulence. Indigestion, loss
lOf appetite and sleep, bad breath,
dyspepsia, colds and fevers.
Millions OF families are now never
without Dr. CaldwelTs Syrup Pep

was to deliver to it's owner in Holly
wood, Fla. He arrived here, after
being rescued aften ten days adrift
at sea, and later told the following
sotry:
After getting under way Bethel
settled down for quick run to HOl-
lywood, about so miles away. Sud-
denly the engine broke down While
attempting to make renairs he found
himself further away from the coast
and soon realized that he was drift
ing helplessly toward the open sea.
He began to take stock OF his ra-
tions, two cans of sardines, two cans
of tomatoes, a box of crackers and
four gallons of water.
The engine was beyond repair. and
Bethel made q sail Of mis- slicker.
The raincoat was 100 small and
there was no rigging and only a
board for a mast. so he abandoned
the idea OF sailing. Three sharks
appeared aft, and two or three re-
manned around the boat all the time.
At the end Of five days there was
no more food, but sti11 some water.
Jim rationed himself carefully on 1t.
Ten days after he had left shore,

Cuban Steamship line ran close to
him off Cape Hatteras. geo niles

weak from want OF food and from

from Montana, Thomas j. Walsh.
Ever since he began investigating the Teapot
Dome business four years ago. Senator Walsh has dis
played this quality strongly. But he never showed
it so much he did the other day in connection with
his desire to question Col. Robert w. Stewart chair
man Of the Standard Oil of Indiana.
Colonel Stewart was in Havana, and his counsel
appeared for him. When Senator Walsh remarked
that he would like to have Stewart appear at once
the lawyer expressed his regrets but said that the
colonel was very, very busy in Havana on matters
of great import-"matters which would prefer not
to divulge."
Another man than Walsh might have sighed too
bad" and bowed to fate. But not Walsh. Instead
he picked up sheaf of Havana newspapers and
glanced through them He read aloud various articles
in the society columns-articles which told how the

Senator Walsh read these articles Then he sat
and looked at the lawyer for moment Then
he said:

The lawyer agreed that it was And that was that.

Midnight Nominations
BY N. D. Cochran

1t is not strange that the people want one kind
of a president and the politicians another, nor is
it strange that the politicians generally get what
they want and the people get left.
The people want president whose administration
will be good for them, and the politicians want one
who will play the game with the professionals and
for their benefit
An ideal situation for the professionals is dead
lock in convention that will prevent the nomination
of a popular favorite, tire the delegates out with
long balloting and wind up by few self appointed
leaders getting together in hotel ROOM trading back
and forth and finally agreeing upon candidate who
will play the game of give and take with them
The Republican convention of 1920 is a good
illustration of this game. What Harry Daugherty
predicted in advance of the convention is what actu
ally happened The bunch finally got in a hotel
room and long after midnight picked Harding, who
up to the last day didn't appear to have look-in.
And we all know how the game was played during
the Harding administration and how some of the
bargains made that night particularly that about
oil and the naval reServes-were carried out. We
still hearing from those bargains in the efforts
to bring Doheny, Sinclair and Fall to book at Wash
ington.
There are indications now that the professionals
are at it again. AS many candidates as can be
tempted into the race are being trotted out as
TO hold delegates pledged to favorte sons away from
Hoover, the popular candidate with the rank and
file, so that finally. after heading off Hoover the
bosses can get together in midnight conference
make their bargains for dividing up the loaveS and
fishes and put over candidate who will play their
game.
There are some genuine favorte sons, of course.
Curtis of Kansas may be in this class Even Sen
ator Willis of Ohio may have serious intentions
and may think the lightning may come his way as
it did Harding's in 1920 But nobody else takes him
seriously or considers that he has an outside chance
even the professionals from Ohio who favor Willis
delegation. But even though he hasn't chance that
Ohio delegation is fine block to play with when
that midnight meeting in the hotel is held.
Lowden is a serious candidate, but he never will
be nominated. The boys that play the game know
that and they willing for Dawes from the same
State, to play along with Lowden and then inherit
the Lowden strength after Lowden has played out
his string. If the Loriner bank scandal hobs up
and upsets the Dawes game, they will have another
Harding in the background all ready for the mid
night conference
Hoover is undoubtedly the man the rank and file
want. The hope on Democratic success lies in the
defeat OF Hoover and in victory at the Republican
convention of the professionals who will meet at mid
night after stopping Hoover. That would be Smiths
opportunity.
