Full Military Strength Thrown in Field
to Meet His Threat.
NANKING. China, May % CP).-The
full military strength of the Nationalist
government moved northward today to
meet the threatfof the Christian gen.
eral," Marshal Feng Yu-Hslang, VINO
seeks TO extend to South China his
overiordship of Central China.
In Marking public demonstrations
were held upholding the regime of Gen.
Chang Kai-Shek and denouncing Feng,
while the government policy was de-
clared TO be peace and unity. However,
unity is necessary before peace is pos
sible."
Marking ministers denounced Feng as
responsible for wholesale destruction
OF the nations railways, disturbance OF
the peace of the country and with pre-
cipitation of grave situation which,
although most undesirable, the Ma
tionaliSt government is prepared to deal
with
Apparently reliable estimates were
that 10000 Nationalist soldiers were
moving northward along the PUkow-
TientSln Railway to cut Off possible
emergence of the forces of Feng from
Honan to the east. Another army Of
l30, 900 men was en- route north from
Hankow, moving along the Peking Rail-
way to Southern Honan, where Skin
mishes already have taken place. An
other army of 10000 west of Hankow
on the north bank of the Yangtse-
Kiang was moving northeastward to-
ward the Han Kiang.
Feng was reported placing his entire
Honan force of 100000 soldiers prin-
cipally along the Lunghi Railway, the
south bank of the Hwang Ho and in
Southern Shensi. His headquarters were
near Chengchow at the junction of two
railways. The way was left open for
retreat into Shensi and Kansu il neces-
sary.

POLICE BREAK Up
MEETING, ARREST
Three SPEAKERS
Distribute Champion"
Young Worker"

DETROIT, Mich, (By MaiD.-
Breaking up a meeting called by
the Communist Youth League here
in protest against the lynching of
Joe Bailey, 19-year-old Negro farm
laborer of Alamo, Tenn, police ar
rested Philip Frankfeld, local or
ganizer of the League, Lee Orsag
and Mari from among the sympa-
thetic crowd of nearly 500 Negro
and white workers at Hastings and
Alexandria in the heart of the
Negro district last Saturday. Faced
by the fIimsy evidence of police who
brought charges of blocking traf-
fic" even after police permission to
hold the meeting had been obtained,
the police captain was ultimately
forced to discharge the cases.
Take us too! Arrest US ALL"
shouted many Negro workers who
resisted the brutal attack of the
police and the arrest of the speak
ers. Eagerly reading copies of the
Negro Champion" organ of the
American Negro Labor Congress,
the Young Worker and copies OF
over 5000 leaflets denouncing lynch
ing and race discrimination, they ex-
pressed their interest in the Com
munist platform. Over 40 apphca-
tons for membership in the Party
and League were turned in in the
heat of the meeting.
The story Of the Iynching of Joe
Boxley was recounted by Lee Orsag,
chairman, who pointed out the ma
ture of the class conflict which gave
rise to vicious discrimination against
Negroes. Murray followed with an
appeal to the workers to join the
American Negro Labor Congress.
Problems confronting Negro work
ers as an oppressed race and as part
of the working class were outlined
by Frankfeld, who directed his APP
peal primarily to the Negro Youth.
Organize an effective self-defense
corps and join the Communist Youth
League, which fights and defends
the interests of the young Negro
workers." he urged.
Police arrived after Orsag read "a
resolution which condemned the Box
ley lynching and exposed it as part
of the whole system of lynchings,
discrimination, and suppression of
the Negro workers"
While they forced the Negro
workers outside the speaking zone,
League members shouted to the
workers to stand firm, telling them
that "legal" permission to speak had
been obtained and that it was only
another attempt to smash the meet
ing.
Taking advantage of the aroused
interest in the Communist activities,
local units will hold another meeting
at the same place next week.

run without workers. The mass OF
the common people are with the mill
workers. Only business men dom
irated by the Bemberg and CLAM
stoff companies-but who live on
your trade-and officials who hold
their jobs by grace of Bemberg and
Glanzstoff, are against us.
"Now is the time to fight! Let
us fight as the textile workers in
New Bedford fought last summer,
as the textile workers in Passaic,
New jersey, fought, as the textile
workers in Gastonia. North Carolina
are fighting now. They are still on
strike in Gastonia and organizing in
more than 60 other mills under the
banner of the National Textile
Workers Union of America. This is
the kind of union we want!"
Strike Demands.
The strike demands outlined in the
leaflet are:
"Reject the blacklist settlement!
Full recognition of our own
union!
"The right to organize shop, de-
partment and mill committees in the
mills.
"No registration! No blacklist!
All strikers to be put back to work
before new workers are hired.
"All workers to be hired through
the union committees.
"All charges to be dropped against
the So workers arrested under the
injunction!
"Women and young workers to
get the same pay as men for the
same work!
"The 8-hour day for all workers!
FIFTY per cent increase in
wages!
"No night work for women and
young workers under IS years!
Twenty per cent increase over
day wages for night work!
"No speeding up workers!
"Make the union the strongest
power in the Valley. Smash the

Find Cheap Form of
Houses in Moscow

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R. (By Mail).-
Professor V. Nekrassov has built
in Moscow a two-story house of
sphagnum blocks (sphagnum is the
upper layer of peat retaining it's
fibrous qualities) with a slight ad-
mixture of caustic soda and lime to
make it fireproof. The cost of this
house was equal to 40 per cent of
that of a wooden house.
In view of the great supplies of
sphagnum in the U.S.S.R., which
possesses three-fourths of the world
peat deposits, Professor Nekrassov's
experiment opens up bright pros
poets for the building industry of
the U.S.S.R.
During the present building sea-
son it is intended to erect several
houses from sphagnum.

against American workers. The reg
istration scheme will provide a per-
feet blacklist for the employers and
will make easier than ever the
frameup of militant workers.
1t is pointed out that workers in
strikes can be provided" with a
criminal record with little difficulty
by utilizing the apparatus of the
registration officials. 1t was re-
vealed some time ago that finger
prints can be forged; in this way
frame-ups of militant workers can
become a matter of routine.
Churches Fall in Line.
Efforts are being modified to
mobilize the churches and all other
agencies of public opinion" behind
the repression program being push
ed by President Hoover. At cor
ference of Congregationalists now
being held in Detroit, discussion
on the enforcement program" took
place and resolutions were passed
supporting it.
At the same time, under the guist
of Fighting crime" new and ingen-
ious methods of branding workers
are being worked out, in conformity
with the Hoover drive. In Atlanta,
Ca, a meeting of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police
adopted a system of criminal sta
tistics" by which "the amount of
crime in America will be accurately
gagged in the future"
Radio Spy System.
Under the system, to be operated
by the federal department of justice,
police forces thruout the country
will make monthly and annual re-
ports concerning crime and Grimm
ais"
Making way for the establishment
of complete and elaborate spy sys-
tenn by radio, Commissioner William
P. Rutledge, of Detroit, recommend
ed that a committee be named to dis
cuss with the Federal Radio Com
mission the question of allocating
to police departments a wave length
or radio frequency "best adapted to
police service"

TEN and terrorized by an elaborate

Wilson, the company official who
is declared the impartial arbiter'
by the terms of the sell-out, to de-
eide who shall work and who shall
not, is exposed in the leaflet, which
says:
"Wilson is organizing the black
list system together with these U.
7. W. and American Federation of
Labor officials.
"Wilson is a specially skilled type
of stool-pigeon known as a person
rel Director who was employed by
the Passaic, New Jersey textile
bosses to blacklist hundreds of Pas
sale strikers. Wilson's speciality is
getting rid of 'undesirables,' reds
and 'agitators.' Can undesirable,
red or an agitator is a working man
or woman who fights for strong
unions controlled by the workers
themselves, for better wages, for
less working hours, better working
conditions, and who will not sell out
his fellow-workers to the bosses J"
The U. T. W. and A. F. of L. Of
ficials who called off the strike are
also shown up, their black, anti
labor records being given in detail.
What of Jailed Strikers?
"We know that we struck and
fought under the rallying cry of
All go back or none go backn"
states the leaflet, and continues:
What has become of this basic prin-
ciple of union solidarity? What of
the 81 strikers who are under ar
rest? Why We're they left to the
mercy Of the courts controlled by
the Bemberg and Glanzstoff COM
panies? Why should not these 81
workers have been freed before the
strike was called off?

workers.
GLOW was the strike called off?
By deceiving us as to the terms of

sinister meaning of the terms Of
surrender, by carefully creating con-
fusion in our ranks!

"But-in spite of every effort of
the misleaders, the big majority of
mill workers now feel that they
have been played with as pawns in
a profitable game between the mill
owners and the U. T. W. officials.
Not more than 25 per cent of former
strikers have registered. On every
hand there is discomfort and anger.
Already hundreds of strikers have
been refused work in the mills.
However, there is no need for

M'DONALD CALLED
TO Save empire
BY KING GEORGE
Nobility and Traitors
for New Cabinet
Continued from Page Onel

Continued from Page One)
Macdonald will do anything radical,
or in any way interfere with the in
come of king, dukes, landlords and
big business men or other employ
ers of labor.
The Communist Party of Great
Britain has warned the workers
who voted Labor" as a protest
against the strikebreaking and STAR
walton and war-making policies of
Baldwin, that the labor party pro-
gram, as outlined in it's published
election leaflets and speeches shows
that there will be little change in
England. In some respects it is more
reactionary than the conservative.
The debt claims will be pushed
against France. The usual talk of
reduction of ornaments" will be
continued, the labor party officially
demanding "a sufficient navy to pro-
tect the empire"
Freedom of Seas"
Now that the British no longer
have policy of building two ships
for every one that their strongest
competitor builds, and agree to
naval parity with U. S., the labor
party is made the instrument
through which to demand the free
dom of the seas. Freedom of the
seas, hypocritically put forward, is
a good slogan for any country that
does not have a clear control of the
seas.
Closer cooperation with the
League of Nations is another tenet
of the Macdonald empirialists. Brit
ain controls the League Of Nations
enough to use it as an instrument Of
war against the U. S.
Sell Out Labor.
MacDonald's party came out dur
ing the elections for class collabora-
ton, and arbitration of strike de-
mands. The labor party chiefs on
the British Trade Union Congress
General ouncil went to the extent
of accepting the Mond plan, Britain's
anti-strike and union surrender
scheme.
The labor party government may
renew relations with the Soviet
Union. A large body of business
men who lost money when Baldwin
broke them off are after their mar
kets again. On the other hand, Mac
Donald's ministry is certain to con-
tinue the suppression of the British
colonies, and to enforce the strictest
measures against any real workers
movement in industry.
Probable Cabinet.
Political writers made the follow
ing forecast of the labor cabinet:
Premier, J. Ramsay Macdonald;
foreign secretary, Arthur Hender-
son; chancellor of the exchequer,
Philip Snowden; home secretary, j.

Count All But
Final election returns were re-
ceived from Orkney and Shetland,
where the seat in parliament was
won by Sir Robert Hamilton, libe-
raj, 1t made the returns complete
from 600 Of the 615 seats in par
lament. The result of the out
standing seats will make little diff
ference in the parliamentary line
up, which so far is as follows: labor,
288; conservatives, 256; liberal, So;
nationalists, 3; independents, 2;
prohibitionist, /; constitutionalist /.
A majority in parliament is 3O8
seats, so that the labor party is 20
votes short OF having control. Lloyd
Georges liberals thus hold the bal
ance of power. By voting with the
conservatives, they can defeat the
labor" government almost at will;
by Withholding their vote, or giving
part of it to labor, they can con-
tinue the Macdonald government in
power.
Lloyd Georges Attitude.
The London Daily News, chief IL
beral organ, issued an evidently in
spired statement threatening the
downfall of the Macdonald regime
unless certain terms were met. 1t
says:
There will be a lamentable break
down unless Mr.. Macdonald changes
in two important particulars which
characterized his last term Of office.
First he must remember. he is
the servant not of his party exc
cutive committee but of parliament
and the nation; and secondly, his
attitude toward liberal members
must undergo a complete spiritual
transformation"
The paper then declared the for
mer condition led to the laber party
leaders downfall in 1924; of the lat
ter it said: "The liberals will never
again submit to the cheap mean
spirited indignities to which labor
in 1924 thought fit to subject them
and unless the ordinary human de-
cencies are preserved practical CO.
operation will be impossible"
