CHINA WORKERS
War Between Chang,
Feng Looms

More than a thousand left wing
workers were murdered by machine
gun fire last week in a fresh epi-
demic of white terror in Canton,
China, according to an Associated
Press report received here.
The withdrawal of the Kwangsi
generals and the seizure of power by
the Canton clique have resulted only
in an intensification of that perse-'
cution of workers and their leaders
for which the Kwangsi group was
already notorious.
Thirty students of the Sun Yat
Sen University, accused of Commu-
mist sympathies, have been arrested,
court-martialed, lined up and moved
down by machine gun fire.
The old method of beheading the
worker victims has been discarded
by the Canton reactionaries to meet
the wholesale massacres which they
are conducting, machine gun fire, by
which many workers can be dis
patched at once, having won the
war lords preference.

BOSSES AGENT
CARRYING BOMB
SOON RELEASED
Deputy Sheriff Starts
to Jail With Him But
Never Gets There
Strikers Need Relief
w. |. R. Is Distributing
Food; Asks for More

GASTONIA, N. c., April 12.-
The fake "bomb plot" the usual re-
sort of an employer who is losing
to his striking employees, material
lied today, but failed completely due
to pooor coordination between the
man with the dynamite, working in
the interest of the employers, and
the North Carolina National Guard,
at the Loray mills.
An agent provocateur carrying
two sticks of dynamite attempted to
enter the mill but was stopped by
the National Guard sentry, who had
obviously not been properly notified
that he was to let him by. The
sentry told everybody about his cap
ture, and another spy for the bosses
wearing deputy sheriff's badge,
rushed in and claimed jurisdiction.
He demanded and received custody
of the prisoner, and stated that he
was taking him to the police station.
Spy Released.
Of course neither the spy with
the dynamite nor the deputy sheriff
ever came near the station and the
attempt at framing up the strike
leaders on a "bomb" charge is to-
day the laughing stock of the COM
munity.
Organizer Beal of the National
Textile Workers Union and Carl
Reeve, representative in Gastonia of
the International Labor Defense
have issued joint statement to the
press in the name Of the union and
the LID, den6uncing the plot as
an obvious fraud, and an attempt to
falsely imprison the strike leaders
and crush the union.
Strikers Stand Fast.
The "bomb plot" followed two
days of intense intimidation and at
tempts to provoke riots among the
strikers or lynch mobs to kill Beal
and other leaders, all of which
schemes have failed completely.
The strikers are standing fast.
The Workers International Relief
store that opened here early this
week is packed with hungry textile
strikers, men, women and children,
registering and applying for relief.
Beans, lard, cornmeal. flour and
milk for the babies is then parceled
out to them by the strikers relief
committee in charge. Crowds of
strikers gather in front of the store
awaiting their turn.
Need Food.
The resources Of the w. /. R. are
being taxed to the utmost to supply
all the hungry strikers families that
apply. A telegram sent by Amy
Schechter, w. l. R. representative
in Gastonia, to the national office
of the w. l. R. in New York appeals
for additional funds so that the re-
lief store may constantly contain

Mothers, with babies in arms, are

will require an immediate remit

20 Years Ago
Excerpts From the Herald
july &. 1909

Last Saturday Sank Centre and
it's friends and neighbors observed
the national holiday. While there
were not so many people in town
as there were on a similar occasion
last year, yet there were plenty of
them on hand and every body had
a good time. The day opened with
fifty guns and closed with a dance
at the city hall. A splendid pa
rade, four blocks in length, was
one of the features of the day.
At meeting of the business
men of the city, held at the city
hall Tuesday evening, it was decid-
ed to go ahead with the county fair
for this year. The meeting was
called for the purpose of hearing
the report of the committee that
handled the Fourth of July cele-
bration. The financial statement of
the committee was submitted by
r. e. Hansen, treasurer, and was
as follows:

Careful Driving Will SAGE
Much Sorrow and Pain
Simple Rules, If Observed by Auto
Drivers Will Prevent Many
Accidents

With the vacation and travel
season at its height, automobile
accidents are also reaching a high
figure. Ninety per cent of these
accidents could be avoided if driv-
ers would observe a few elemen-
tary rules. Below are some rules,
taken from a recent Highway bull
letin, which every driver should
learn and obey:
Stop at all streets, roads and rail-
roads with stop" signs.
Make sure there is no train COM
ing before crossing railroad tracks.
Keep to the right of the center
of the road in curves, at crossings
and on the brow of hill.
Keep to the right at all other
times except when passing We
hicles.
Do not pass vehicles unless the
road is free of oncoming traffic. for
a safe distance ahead
Do not pass anyone on a sharp
curve or crossing or on the brow
of a hill.
Slow down at all turns and cross
ings where the view is obscured.
Slow down when going through
cities and villages.
Keep, your brakes and steering
gear in good condition.
Have two front lights and tail
light burning when driving at
night.
See that your lights illuminate
the road, without glare.
Do not stop or park on the trav-

eled portion Of the highway.
Do not park at night without
adequate lights.
Do not circle right before maxi
ing left turns. Signal for all left
turns.
Keep your car under control so
you can always stop in the clear
space ahead.
Persons who habitually disregard
these rules are sure to have a SER
ious accident sooner or later. Be
sides that they may face arrest by
the new state traffic patrol now be-
ing organized under the State
Highway department.
1.-THE patrolmen will not make
arrests for minor attractions of
the traffic laws which do not en-
danger other persons" Commits
sioner G. M. Babcock saws, "but
they will be prepared to deal Wig
orously with drivers who wanton-
ly disregard the traffic laws and
the safety Of others.
There will be no arrests for
speeding. IL is not falr to arrest
a man if he goes a little faster
than the speeds named in the
traffic law, If he has his car under
control and regulates his speed ac-
.cording to the traffic and the con-
dition of the road. But when a man
drives in utter disregard Of the
safety of others, he should be
promptly arrested and prosecuted
for reckless driving.
Until our state patrol is fully
organized, we hope local officers
will do their utmost to curb reck-
less driving. We hope, however,
that they will not make arrests
for technical but harmless infrac-
tions of the traffic law. That kind
of enforcement does not solve the
accident problem"
