tnever plays martyr. and he detests

Youth of Poverty
His youth was spent in poverty.
and his education was won by dint
OF sacrifice and prodigious effort;
his idyllic marriage was prematurely
and tragically ended; his firm and
lonely position against the war
brought him persecution and finally
public idolatry. But Macdonald is
neither braggart nor cynic. Neither
triumph nor defeat have touched the
disciplined character nor bent the
direction of his purpose, nor tired
nor embittered him.
A quality which his friends call
shynesS, and which his enemies call
arrogance, is a part OF MacD onald's
great reserve. 1t is his Scotch tenn
permanent. perhaps. which exagger-
ateS the sanctity Of privacy. He
would rather suffer outrageously
unjust criticism than condescend to
give publicity to his version Of the
facts, If they are Of a personal ma
ture. And SO he is a man apart
one with whom even his colleagues
often feel slightly uneasy. Some
urge that he is too timid, and others
that he Is too arrogant. and th2re
are those who say that he is too
polite. IL is quite possible that
these very qualities uniquely fit him
10 the role Of leader In England's
turbulent politics today. He has cap
tured the imagination OF the people.
FOR he il at once Of them, and above
them.

friendly interest. Macdonald does
not often lose his impersonal de-
tachment i'm all things. But IL Is
said that he does so most often in
LCssiemouth. where he reveals an
inner romantic Macdonald who pas
sionately loves Scotch stories and
Scotch history and Scotch land
scapcs.

ing them to support the Kansas City
strikers, says: "This strike was
forecast at the Trade Union Unity
Convention, when delegates from
all over the country emphasized the
need to set up shop committees in
the big, unorganized factories, where
the workers face new exploitation
daily through new automatic de-
vices, travelling belts, etc, which,
instead of adding to labor's produc-
tivity, force a greater expenditure
of energy, more nervous strain, and
a higher rate of accidents. In the
small shops, the A. F. of L. is doing
the bosses dirty work by providing
efficient workers, capable of endur-
ing long hours of speed-up. The
task of the Food Workers Industrial
League is to fight against such
methods, and to lay the basis of its
organization inside the large fac
tories as the beginning for building
up a national industrial union for
all food workers"

MANY GENERALS
IN The FIELD,
FLOUT NANKiNG
New Loan Is Floated to
Disband Troops

SHANGHAI, Oct. 1. - Marking
is, for the second time, issuing
loan of S7O,000,000 for disarmament
of troops" of whom there are over
100000. Last January confer
ence of rival generals agreed" with
tongue in check, to disband their
troops, and in February loan of
$50,000,000 was issued to carry it
out.
But nothing of the kind happen
ed. Instead, the money was used
trying to squelch the Hankow and
Kwangsi rebellion of last March,
which lasted till May. Then more
millions were used to forestall an
attack by Feng Yu-hsian from
Honan. And, to top it all, the at
tack on the Soviet Union in Man
churia has been a costly affair bur-
dening the treasury which exists on
a deficit and is wholly dependent on
the pleasure of imperialist bankers.
The new loan of $70,000,000 bears
interest at 8.4 per cent and bonds
are sold at SO, to be redeemed in
100 installments by 1887, Secured"
by customs receipts, which by this
time are loaded with debts Of 1882,
100000 toatl of new loans, not to
speak of the old ones of past de-
cades whose totals are fearful. 1t
must be noted that Markings own
figures show that of it's total annual
income of $450,000,000, military ex-
penses take s396,000,000.
The numerous militarists control
ing regions and provinces in all di-
rections, not only continue to collect
and keep for themselves all local
taxes, but cynically capitalize Nam
kings chatter about national unity
by asking it to pay their soldiers
wages.
Moreover, not only refusing to
disband armies without Marking
pays all the accrued back wages,
these generals themselves, after be-
ing bribed heavily to pay formal al
legiance to Marking, are now in
large proportion, taking the field
against Nanknig in the new armed
struggle to GUST Chang Kai-shek
from power.

the business agent Rosenzweig of
Local 80.
Rosenzweig Ousted for Betraying.
The executive board of Local $40
was forced because of the open acts
of betrayal by Rosenzweig of
strikes in the Bronx and because
of the fierce criticism by the rank
and file members of Local $40 at
the union meetings to bring Rosen-
zweig on charges of selling out and
gross betrayal of the last strike of
five laundries in the Bronx and he
was tried by the membership.
At this trial it was proven that
he, the leader of the strike, served
strikers. with injunctions of one of
the bosses of a laundry against his
striking and sending the men back
to work and in this way compelling
them to desert the ranks of the
strikers and killing the morale of
the strike; and did everything to
serve the bosses causing the strikes
to be lost.
The betrayed membership in
senced with a feeling of hatred
against this voted by great major
ity in a secret ballot to GUST him
from his job as business agent.

Workers Plan Hunger
Strike Against Terror

HARDIN, Manchuria, Oct. 1. -
The 1900 Soviet citizens held in the
Sungbie internment camp as pris-
oners, in the absence of war and
without charges being put against
them, threaten to begin hunger
strike today unless the Chinese
authorities either prefer definite
charges against each prisoner or
release him.
Another demand is that the re-
tirement allowance, which is due
each railway worker when he leaves
the service, be Immediately paid to
those who resigned their positions
when the Chinese seized the Chinese
Eastern Railway.
The demands, accompanied by the
threat of a hunger strike, were
placed in the hands of the German
consul, who is showing himself hos
tile to the interests of the Soviet
citizens although Germany agreed
to look after the interests of Soviet
civilians in China in the absence of
Soviet-Chinese relations.

A few days ago I shipped on the

even pay shipping board wages
which is about So higher than the
Munson Line pays.
There was only one man in the
galley to do the cooking and bak-
ing; the steward would not hire an
other man until the ship signed on
the crew. thus saving the company
SIS to $40 for few days.
The food they gave us was ter
rible. Rotten eggs for breakfast,
sinking meat for dinner, and no
fruit at any time unless you bought
your own.
The wages are so poor that only
seamen who are absolutely destitute
will slave on Munson liners. The
sleeping quarters are filthy, no cleo
trio fans, altho the officers have
them. The crew have to sleep in the
hot rooms or on deck, and you may

The last strike of Local $40 which
involved five laundries in the Bronx
was lost mainly because of the rot

The workers saw how instead of
spreading the strike through every
section of the foundry workers, in
side and outside, and in that way
shutting down every laundry in

the laundry, being unorganized,

Turn to Communists of

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Oct.
1.-The wide response which the
policy Of the South African Com
munist Party received from the ma
tive Negro workers and peasants in
the last election, and the success
met by the adherents of the Red
international and Labor Unions
against the Amsterdam reformist
Negro leader, Kedvalie, is giving
alarm to British imperialism.
In an attempt to check this, Prem
Ter SHUTS urged before the Assem-
bly, that tighter" laws be made to
bar all white Communists from even
entering areas populated heavily by
Negroes.
Additional precautions taken are
to forbid all Negro meetings as un-
lawful, naturally to check Negro
Communist workers.

err of the delegation is Joe Schiff-
man, national Pioneer director.
The Young Pioneers, in a state
ment issued yesterday, say, "the re-
turn of the first workers children
delegation to the workers father
land, the Soviet Union, should be
greeted with joy by every workers
child in this country, and by the
entire working class.
"This delegation will give a re-
port to the children, telling them
about the conditions of the workers
children in the Soviet Union. 1t will
tell about the progress made by the
Russian workers under a workers
government.
at is very significant that our
delegation should be coming aboard
the same ship that carries j. RAM
say Macdonald, head Of the social
list government of England.
"This socialist sent troops to
Palestine to shoot down the Arab
workers and peasants when they re-
volted against the rule of the Brit
ish imperialists and their Zionist
tools. 1t was he and his labor
ministry that broke the strike of
the half-million textile strikers in
Manchester, England, this summer.
Macdonald is only continuing
regime of the bosses, even though
there is supposed to be labor gov
eminent in power. The labor gov
eminent is only another instrument
in the hands of the English bosses
against the workers.
"There is a sharp contrast in
these two delegations. Macdonald
is coming to form a united front
with the American bosses govern
ment in order to attack the only
workers and farmers government,
the U.S.SR.
"On the other hand, the childrens
delegation is coming back to the
United States to rally the working
class children, and all the workers
for the defense of workers Russia"
The Pioneers are planning to hold
huge meeting, the time and place
of which is to be announced in the
near future, to greet the delegation.
1t will be held in a large hall, with
prominent speakers representing
many working class organizations.
This meeting will be held jointly
with the Communist Party and the
Young Communist League of the
New York District. The Pioneers
also plan to tour these delegates
throughout the country, spreading
the message Of international work
ing class solidarity among children
