BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE elections
for the Diet Legislative body) in
the state of Thuringia, give the
Communist Party six seats instead
of two it previously had.
The so-called Brandlerist "Com-
munist Opposition" a Right Wing
split away from the Communist
Party, lost all four seats the Brand
lerists formerly had and gained
none from any constituency.
The fascists gained considerably.
The other parties kept fairly stable,
except the Nationalists, who lost
several seats.
BERLIN, Dec. lit can be well
understood why the socialist"
leader, Severing. introduced the re-
pressive defense law" against the
workers, in view of the move now
being made to reduce the taxes on
the capitalist class, add taxes on
the workers, and reduce the COM
pensation, little as it now is, for
the unemployed. The Brandler
group of renegades from the Com
munist Party fought against the
Party policy of sharp struggle
against the Socialists" as a party
Of capitalism.

of all capitalist parties, including
the socialist" party, as the largest

Yangtze Valley Is
Aflame; Marking Slips

Fa-kwei, with thousands of casual
ties on each side and hospitals filled
with wounded.
A panic there also is admitted,
and the reports say that men al
legged to be Communists were active
throughout the city. While this may
be due to the usual custom of Nam
king in charging all opposition as
being Communist" it set the fear
full capitalist elements who have
been butchering workers into pan
icky flight toward Hongkong. In
the city itself there were frequent
explosions, said to be bombs set off
here and there, possibly by agents
of the militarist rebels to cause a
weakening of the defense.
Mutiny Feared in Marking.
At Marking, a body of troops
whose loyalty" to Marking was
doubted, were disarmed. The troops
which a week ago mutinied at Pu-
kow across the river, were moving
south and giving battle to Chang
Kai-sek troops who were on the de-
fensive. Many wounded are stream
ing into Marking, and the fall of
Marking may be expected at any
time, especially if the attackers, led
by rebel militarists, reach the river.
The censorship wells what is oc-
curing on the upper reaches of the
Yangtze, but it is clear that the
whole valley is in connection.
British and japanese war vessels
are steaming up river, with the
usual excuse of "evacuating their
nationals" but always with the
main purpose Of assuring their i'm
perialist grip on the Chinese masses.
The American flotilla from Manila
10 expected here tomorrow to add to
the permanent fleet of war vssels
guarding the interests of Wall
Street along the Yangtze.
In New York and other cities the
Communist Party is holding protest
meetings at the armed intervention
by imperialist powers, especially
the United States dispatch Of the
fleet to threaten the Chinese masses.
A call for all workers who wish to
fight U. s. imperialism at home and
abroad to join the Communist Party.

Revolt in Auburn;

the prisoners.
This is one of long series of
prison revolts all over the country.
Thousands of workers are being
railroaded to Jail on indeterminate
sentences and under the vicious
Baumes and similar laws in all
parts of the country.
The prisons are overcrowded, and
grating politicians in control goad
the men in Jail.
Auburn prison is the oldest peni-
tertiary in the state. Even the re-
dictionary National Society for Penal
Information described it as "a damp
and unhealthy place" 1t is built
to house 1900 prisoners in tiny
cells, and contains more than 1,700
at the present time.
The growing Righteousness of the
prisoners in the American jails is
symptomatic Of the growing resis-
lance of the working class to the
increased exploitation and the
worsening of conditions.
Unrest is seething throughout all
the penitentiaries in the United
States. While a great number of
the prisoners are Stun proletariat,
an ever larger number of workers
are being thrown into Jail because
Of employment, increased speed-up
which throws the worker broken in
health and body penniless on the
streets at an early age.
The capitalists courts have
evolved vicious laws with ever-in-
creasing sentences. Conditions in
the jails are rotten. Overcrowding
has reached the limit. The prison
ers, rather than live under these
conditions, have put up series of
brilliant battles against overwhelm-
ing odds, declaring that they would
rather die in their attempt for free
dom than continue to live under the
domination of the grating politi-
clans and hopelessly long prison
sentences for mild crimes.

Chinese Workers
Against Imperialism

It is not accidental that right ter
the seizure of the railway and the
dismissal of the Soviet manager, a
white Russian, and not a Chinese,
was appointed to succeed him. The
insane provocative manner by which
the railway was seized without
notice and without warning clearly
betrayed the true purpose Of the act.
1t is naive to regard the outrageous
manner of the Chinese militarists as
merely the re ult of stupidity and
ignorance. Surrounded by host of
imperialist advisers, the Chinese
militarists had a specific purpose in
view when they seized the Chinese
Eastern Railway, and, knowing that
the Soviet Union has always pur-
sued a steady peaceful foreign pol
icy and is difficult to provoke, they
adopted the most provocative meth
cd imaginable to achieve their aim.
This is the only reasonable eXplana-
ton of the astonishingly insane pro-
cedlre adopted by the Chinese mill
tarists. Any attempt to cover this
act with patriotic phrases is deli
berate Justification of facts with the
intention of deceiving the Chinese
people and the world public by set
ting up a smoke screen behind which
the most sinister plots against the
common interests of the Chinese
people and the Soviet Union are
Matched.
In considering the substance of
the Sino-Soviet controversy, suffi-
cient attention should be paid to the
fact that the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way is purely a commercial enter
prise. By the Sino-Soviet Agree
ment of 1924 the Soviet Union volun-
tarily and upon its own initiative
gave up all the special privileges
which the czarist regime enjoyed in
China and put the Chinese Eastern
Railway enterprise purely upon 2
commercial basis, with the specific
provision that, with the exception
of matters pertaining to the business
operations which are under the direct
control of the Chinese Eastern Rail
way, all other matters affecting the
rights of the national and local gov
ernments Of the Republic Of China
such as judicial matters, matters re-
lating to civil administration, mill
tary administration, police, munich
pal government, taxation, and land
property with the exception of land
required by the said railway)--shall
be administered by the Chinese
authorities" (Article TX, Sec. 1 of
the Sino- Russian Agreement Of May
81, 1924 The return of the rail
way to China was also provided for
in Article TX, Sec. of same agree
ment which says that "the govern
ment Of the Unon of the SOVIET So
cialist Republics agrees to the re-
demption by the government of the
Republic Of China, with Chinese cap
ital, of the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way, as we'll as all appurtenant pro
perties, and to the transfer to China
Of all shares and bonds Of the rail-
way" The fact that the Soviet Union
as partial owner of the railway,
takes part in the management of the
railway, purely as business part
ner, without special political or
economic privileges, clearly indicates
that the Chinese Eastern Railway
cannot 10 nut in the same category
with such imperialist enterprises as
the South Manchurian Railway or
the International Settlemert at
Shanghai. Contrasting the Soviet

Illinois Miners Strike
Spreads to Springfield

attacked and broke up a strong
picketing demonstration before the
Capitol mine, within the city limits
of Springfield, which is the state
capitol, and the seat of U. NJ. w. A.
district President Fishwick's mis-
rule. Two were arrested at the
Capitol mine picketing: they are
Roy Jones, president Of Springfield
sub-district of the N. M. u, and
Organizer Clarence Babb.
Thompson Kidnapped.
Nothing more has been heard so
far of Freeman Thompson, who was
arrested and kidnapped by the state
militia while leading the pickets in
their march on the Kincaid mine, in
Christian County, yesterday. He is
held under military arrest, and
charges Of "inciting to riot" are to
be placed against him, the militia
officers say.
The arrest of Thompson and the
menacing attitude Of the militia do
not brighten the miner pickets.
Whole families appear on the picket
lines, men, women and children, and
turn back all who try to enter. They
defy the trops, and jeer and taunt
them. So far the soldiery have not
fired on the pickets, though men
and women strikers dare them TO
do so. The memory of Herrin is
green in Illinois. Herrin was the
scene of a battle of the 1922 strike
in which miners got out their rifles
and captured a scab mine by force
or arms after the mine guards had
killed some strikers. Practically all
of the scabs and their gunner at
that mine persisted.
Voted State Wide Strike.
The miners of Illinois are striking
in answer to call sent out by the
tri-district convention called by the
| N.M.U. 1t met Dec. l in Zeigler,
ILL.,, and voted for a Statewide
struggle to start Dec. 9, to win the
demands adopted by the Belleville
State Convention of the N.M.U. held
Oct. &c. These demands are for:
The six-hour day and five-day week;
S35 a week minimum wage; recogni-
ton of the National Miners Union;
no more check-off; abolition of the
bug-light and penalty system; equal
wages for young miners; Is minutes
rest period during every hour of
coal loading and cutting machines;
one man on each job; no discrimin-
alton against Negro miners.
The Zeigler convention called on
all miners to form a united front
against the coal operators whose
speed-up and use of machines has
driven half the Illinois miners into
unemployment, and against the
United Mine Workers of America,
which has, through selling out the
miners during and after the 1929
strike become a company union. The
U.M.W.A. is split into two factions
led by International President Lewis
and Illinois district President Harry
Fishwick, which sue each other in
the courts for control of the union
treasury and the monopoly of the
sell-out privileges, but both these
factions are agents of the employers,
and both state openly they will try

Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell.
perhaps the most popular Of all
screen sweetheartS, not only talk
in Sunny Side Up" original Fox
Moyietone musical comedy by De-
Sylvia, Brown and Henderson, but
also sing and dance in a manner
which marks them as outstanding
performers in this field as they were
in silent pictures. Sunny Side Up"
is the attraction this week at the
Apollo theater, it being held over for
the second week: Miss Gaynor has
studied voice culture ever since she
first entered pictures, a little over
three years ago.
To sing always has been one of
her greatest ambitions. she con-
fessed recently. consequently. when
the development of audible pictures
attained their tremendous popular
ity, the little star was well equipped
to step before microphone and
talk or sing with the best of them
She sings several songs in this pic
ture that were written especially for
her.
Charles Farrell. who was on the
stage before pictures reached out
and claimed him for their own, has
highly pleasing barytone voice
which he has developed during the
last two years under the tutelage
of the best teachers money could
employ.
Consequently, it will be an entire
ly different Janet Gaynor and
Charles Farrell who make their
debut in this great musical comedy
sensation. Others in the cast are
FL Brendel, Frank Richardson.
Marjorie White and Sharon Lynn.
Richard Butler directed the picture
The usual Vitaphone presentations
and the Fox Movietone news will
complete the bill.

The story starts with a jazz party
in an apartment. swings into the
10-cent store, then into a red-hot
night club, with a variety of back
grounds and action. The complica-
tons that meet Miss White when
she Is trying to crash into the night
clubs as an entertainer, and her love
affairs with a subway guard, are
said to make up an entertaining
story of modern youth.
Charles Delaney, who was seen
opposite Miss White in Show Girl"
and Broadway Babies" has the
role Of the subway guard in The
Girl From Woolworth's." William
Beaudine directed the picture.

To AUCTION
Manuscript

The original manuscript of Jour
ney's End" which is now being
played throughout the world by six
teen companies in seven languages,
will be auctioned off at a dinner in
the Guildhall, London, for the bene-
fit of the League Of Nations Union
Peace Fund this week, according to
a cablegram just received by the
New York representatives of Maui
rice Browne, the plays London pro-
Queer.
The famous English war play,
written by R. G. Sheriff. and pre-
sented throughout the world by
Maurice Browne, is a striking in
dictment against war and it Is
therefore deemed proper that the
results Of the sale of the original
manuscript should go to the most
powerful world peace organization
in England.
The League of Nations Union is
an organization similar to the Nom
partisan League of Nations Associa-
ton in this country. It's principal
purpose is the dissemination of edu-
cation matter concerning the League
and it's workings.
The auction of the Sheriff. manu-
script will be under the chairman

in San Francisco and friends of the
late chief in a last-minute resort,
wired Harold TO come west and take
up the battle with the crooked poll
ticians and Tong men.
Harold goes to San Francisco and
by luck gets the reputation of being
hardboiled wielder of the law.
Then he is plunged into a series Of
amazing battles in the underworld
in which thrill after thrill and
laugh after laugh are said to be re-
produced by that Lloydian genius
for fun and entertainment.
The plot is said to take new
turn every other minute. There is
girl and her little crippled brother.
There is kindly old Chinese doc
tor. There is a white man who
poses as a reformer but who really
is a crook. There is Lloyd swirling
through it all in great whirlwind

JOLSON MOVIE
NOW AT OHIO

Al Jolson, supported by Davey
Lee and Marian Nixon, opens today
at the New Ohio theater in his
latest all-talking, all-singing picture,
Say 1t With Songs"
In 1t, Jolson plays the part of Joe
Lane, former prize fighter, but now
a writer of songs and radio enter
tainer. The world looks rosy to
him and he believes that Phillips,
the man who is backing him, is do
ing so for friendship sake, but finds
out that it is to win the love of
Lanes wife.
Infatuated with jealousy Joe at
tackS the man, who falls, strikes his
head on the curb and dies. Joe is
sentenced to a long term in Sing
Sing. Feeling that his wife will
suffer from the disgrace, he urges
her to divorce him, telling her that
he no longer cares for her.
This she does, putting their child
in a boys school, and taking a posi-
ton as nurse in the office of a
surgeon who was a former lover
When Joe has done his stretch
he returns and visits the school
where his son is. The child follows
him as he leaves, and is run over by
a truck after which he can neither
walk nor talk.
The situations that follow are said
to be dramatic ones. Jolson sings
several songs.
An all-talking comedy, Tom How
ard in THE Hold Up" is the main
feature on the supplementary pro-
gram. A talking news reel and short
subjects complete the bill.
