COOK, TRAITOR,
KISSES PRINCE
Says Starving Miners
Owe Wales Thanks

LONDON, April IS U.H.-The
Prince of Wales today met and
shook hands with A. J. Cook, secre-
tary of the Miners Federation, who
has denounced bitterly almost
everything for which the heir to the
throne stands but is now repeatedly
obsequious. The meeting was most
cordial.
Wales and Cook were at con-
ference of workers connected with
the collection of a fund for unem-
ployed miners, one of the Charities"
with which the British royalty tries
to stifle the anger of the starving
mine proletariat by an appearance
of interest in their conditions. In
reality he is making capital out of
it for the time when he will relieve
his moribund father as monarch of
446, 726,752 slaves.
Cook, in his speech, said the
Miners Federation owed the prince
"a very real measure of thanks for
his whole hearted enthusiasm which
has brought the crown and the popu-
lace closer together"
"The crown and the populacew

In these meetings, at which thou

issue of capitalist persecution of la

proved, but the need for reorganiza-

shorter hours and other essential
demands, was placed before the
masses of tobacco workers.
The native capitalists, who find
themselves quite at one mind with
the forces of American imperialism
against the workers and peasants
tried every means to stifle this
movement protest. The capitalist
press attacked it and the insular and
municipal police were modified in
the most hostile attitude, while the
authorities, such as Secretary of the
Interior Ventura, the Governor OF
Rial province, Mr. Naval, and the
Municipal President of Malabon, die
all they could to prevent the work
ers from answering the strike call

ers." The press of the South African
Party "a Party representing the in
terests of British commercial indus
trial bourgeoisie), on its part, gives
an emphatically positive reply to
this question.
The other action taken by the ma
tive postal workers, who demanded
from the ministry wage increases
and general improvement of the
conditions of labor is in the closest
connection with the Pretoria strike.
This action has become especially
important in view of the fact that it
was the immediate cause of the sub
sequent ministerial crisis and the
resignation of Madeley, minister for
posts and telegraphs, member of the
Left" wing of the South African
Labor Party, and the only represen-
tative of that wing in the cabinet.

gress (white), to which the leu had

BULGARIAN COUP

Tsankoff Faction May
Overthrow Liaptcheff

SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 1S.-The
democratic union party, now in con-
troll of the government, was thrown
into CONSERVATION this afternoon by
charges that the party faction head
ed by former Premier Tsankoff was
conspiring to overthrow the gov
eminent of Premier Andrei Liapt-
cheff.
The charges were made by men,
bers of the democratic union party,
of which Liaptcheff also is men,
Der.
Tsankoff was accused of trying
to obtain support of the army for
a coup to depose the premier. The
meeting of the party leaders, which
had been discussing political dis
putes, was suspended because of the
uproar but it was believed the
Tsankoff faction would be forced

OIL
WORKERS WALK
OUT IN KOREA
Japanese Police Fail to
Break Long Strike

SHANGHAI, China, April 49,
Workers of the Standard Oil Com
pany's plant at Woen Shan, Korea,
are still continuing their strike I'M
abated after three months. The
strike began on Jan. "a.
The walkout started when The
Standard refused to recognize the
trade union which is fighting for
the interests Of the workers.
The japanese authorities, Of
course, buried all their little diff
ferences with the American imper-
ialists and Immediately placed
armed police at the disposal of the
company.
The headquarters of the Union
were raided and all documents con-
fiscated, including the membership,
lists. All money found was also
confiscated. A large number of the
strikebreakers have been arrested.
At the beginning of the strike
the Standard attempted to continue
business with strikebreakers but
the attempt failed completely.
The strike committee issued an
appeal against the use of alcohol
by the workers during the strike.

Philippine Unions Show
New Militancy in Strike

The Philippine trade unions or
ganized in the Congresso Obrero de
Filipinas are showing a rebirth of
growth and militancy recently, as is
also the Philippine Confederation of
Peasants. Most notable in this con-
nection is the protest general strike
of cigar makers on December II,
last, against the frame-up and i'm
prisonment of one of the leaders of
the Cigarmakers' Union, Mauricio
Cortez, who was sentenced by a
class-biased court to four months
and one day in prison.
The initiation of this action came
from the meeting of cigarmakers in
Malabon, Rial province, called to
establish factory committees at the
instance of the militant trade union
leader, Crisanto Evanglista. 1t was
decided that the hour on which Com
rade Cortez must enter prison, 10 a.
M, December II, would be the hour
for a walkout from the shops of all
cigarmakers possible to mobilize in
the short time left for preparation.
The strike was to last for that one
day only. The difficulties of getting
out printed matter and organizing
the leadership actually left only one
day and half fer actively rallying
the workers, task that was carried
out with praiseworthy energy and

the class conscious advance of the
Filipino workers. At the hour ap-
pointed, seven branches in Malabon,
two in Obando, one in Polo, and four
of the biggest factories in Manila
struck solidly, totaling over 5000
cigarmakers, or more than one-third
of all workers engaged in the in
dustry in the Philippine islands. This
is magnificent testimony to the fact
that the Filipino tobacco workers are
ready for militant policies and
leadership and is evidence as well
of the new spirit permeating the en-
tire working class.
Nor is this awakening limited to
the factory workers only, but it is
also shown in the rising interest in
organization of the Filipino peas
antry. The interest among the
peasantry in Anak PAWS, organ of
the Philippine Confederation of
Peasants with a policy Of struggle
against the incredible extortions of
the landlords, of intense interest in
the Soviet Union, of unity with the
Philippine proletariat and with the
world revolutionary workers move
ment against imperialism and for
immediate and absolute independence
from the United States, its advanced
stand against the paralyzing influ-
ence of the church, testifies to the
awakening of the Philippine peas
antry, whose conditions verge upon
and often actually are, nothing more
or less than slavery.

LABOR PARTY
ALSO FAvORS
BALF0UR PLAN
Joins Other Bourgeois
Parties on Debts

LONDON, April 1S.-No real dif-
ference is perceptible today in the
attitude of all three British bour-
|geois parties over the Balfour plan
which Philip Snowden, former
Laborite chancellor of the exchequer,
attacked as not procuring sufficient
payments from England's debtors,
notably France and Italy, and award
ing too large payments to England's
creditor, the United States.
Snowden's comment on the Bal
four plan as usual outstripped the
conservatives in zeal for British
imperialism; he called it Infamous. ="
His statement, made on the eve
of the general elections as an cleo
ton attack on the conservative
financial policies, received the abuse
of Liberals and Conservatives alike,
since they declared that repudia-
ton of debts was inherent in Snow
denis statement while they believed
the Balfour plan the best repara.

could get.

prosperous than ourselves" Snow.
den asserted.
Ramsay MacDoAald spoke after
Snowden, declaring that the Labor
l.! Party, if elected, would carry out
every debt agreement made by the
conservatives, and pointed proudly
to its former record in office wher
il had carried out the Balfour plan
| to the letter.

"Sure! Well get a French COVER

Grigori Peskov!"
The children laughed-almost all
of them. Even the Bashkir. For
Martynov had made a face that was
particularly funny.

tions. They should be fed, young
lady, and sent to work, to dig up

"But they will all run away from
you"
They'll be fools if they do. They'll
land in your medico-pedagogical
convent again. Make out the list.
Wait, kids, I'll come for you soon;
I'll go to see about the supplies"
He brushed Grishka's head with
his hand in passing, and was gone.
Grishka, for some reason, felt joy
Gus. The long hand had touched his
head so kindly. And Grishka
thought:
"He's all to the mustard! A good

NOT single one of the ten ran

but for whole week did the chill
dren live in Martynov's little room,
to the great grief of the landlady.
But they heard her lamentings only
on the first day, when they came
home early in the evening. But on
the other days they arrived late. Just
in time for slee,. For days Marty

! in another some cloth for garments
in third few bags Of goats. Their
they loaded a train-caboose high
with boxes.
They went with the driver Nikolai
to the pasture to get some cows. Like
a thrifty proprietor, Martynoy
gathered supplies from everywhere
for his colony. He managed to pene-
trate into all the storerooms closed
to others. At the office of the presi-
dent of the Gubcheka he took clock
from the wall, in order to give the
children more than was allotted
them. And all tie time he kept
rubbing his palms one against the
other. He laughed at everybody. He
shouted at the children:
"Hey, you, rascals, what's all this
loafing? Keep moving, keep NOV
ing. Bashkurdistan, go help Nike
lai carry the water! It's time to
water the cattle!"
And the little Bashkir understood
the Russian speech by the express
sive gestures. He rushed to the yard
with a cultural cry.
Grishka felt new life in him. Best
of ALT is so jolly. There are SO
many people one sees every day.
The earth is drying. The sweet
scent of spring rises from the trees.
The sun has grown more kindly. 1t
warns one almost all day long. When
a shower falls, it is a joyous one. 1t
merely washes everything clean and
let's the sun dry everything again.
1t is so easy to run about. On the
very first day, when they left the
Narobraz, Martynov took all the
children to the barber shop. Their
heads were shaved. Even the girls.
Then he sent them to the bathhouse
and had them dressed in short k ick-
ers. The girls as well. 1t is
strange! But never mind, they got
used to them. The garments are
light. They make one want to skip
and jump in spite of oneself. Knick-
ers to the knees, shirts without col
lars or sleeves.
THE trip to the colony was, for
Grishka, like the first fairy
dream.
They occupied two cabooses. A
number of lean cows and horses rode
with them. During the stops they
cleaned the stalls and brought water.
Spreading his legs apart, Martynov
pumped water. He issued commands
to the kids. When the train was in
motion he talked with the children
about themselves. He did not qucs-
