HOLD UP OFFICE
! OF SHOE union
Believe Gunmen Were
Bosses Hirelings

While most of the officials of the
Independent Shoe Workers Union
were away at the conference in Irv-
ing Plaza which laid the basis for
a national industrial union of shoe
and leather workers, two thugs,
brandishing guns, held up the office
of the union, 81 E. 10th St., at about
a o'clock Saturday afternoon and
escaped with about 5000 in cash.
Placing a confederate as a look
out in front of the building, the two
armed men forced all those in the
office to hold up their hands while
they went through their pockets
and took away the union funds. In
the office at the time were Carl
Bernow, secretary-treasurer of the
union, two girl employees and sew
eral shoe workers who had come to
pay their dues. Of the money stolen
by the bunmen about $50 belonged
to the union and the rest to those
present in the office at the time.
After the holdup, officials of the
Independent Shoe Workers Union
declared they believed the gunmen
were sent by some shoe boss or
bosses against whom the union is
striking. This is new devise to
crush the steadily growing shoe
union by looting it of all it's funds,
the officials said.
The Independent Shoe Workers
Union is now leading five strikes in
Brooklyn and four in Manhattan
The organization drive it has been
conducting during the past few
months has been unusually success
full and large number of workers
have won union conditions.

charge was changed to second de-

the whites and to protect Sow

The incident is regarded as
charged with war danger, the ac-
tion of the white guardists being
seen as a provocative move on the
part of the imperialist powers,
working through the Marking gov
ernment, to attack the Soviet Union
without directly employing Chinese
forces.
Tcherniavo is on the Amur River
which divides Soviet territory from
Manchuria.
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Aug. IL
Commenting on the firing upon a
Soviet border patrol by white guard
Russians, with the resultant death
of Red soldier and the wounding
of eight others. Leo Karakhan, vice.
commissar in charge of foreign af-
fairs, yesterday stated that the
Situation remains very grave" and
gave as his opinion that at is in
cidents like this, which are not iso-
lated, that represent a great dam
ger"
In an interview granted to
Eugene Lyons, of the United Press,
Karakhan categorically denied that
any negotiations, official or unoffi-
cial, between the Soviet govern
ment and Marking, are under way.
He declared that the Soviet gov
ernment has clearly and fairly indi-
Gated the conditions under which a
basis of negotiations would be pos
sible, and until these conditions are
accepted negotiations are out of the
question.
Karakhan produced hitherto un-
published kilograms exchanged with
Chu Shau-yang, former Chinese rep
resentative at Moscow, which re-
vealed that Chu advised the Soviet
government last Wednesday of his
arrival as Manchuli, on the border,
with power to negotiate" the seiz-
ure of the Chinese Eastern Pcil-
road and requesting a meeting with
the Soviet plenipotentiary.
The Soviet government pponfptly
rejected the proposal and Chu cf-
fered to come to Moscow, which the
Soviet government likewise re-
jected.
Regarding the efforts of the i'm
perialist powers to take over
the Chinese Eastern on pretext of
"mediating" the seizure of the rail-
road by the Marking government,
acting for them, Karakhan said:
"The question must be settled be-
tween the Soviet Union and China
on the basis of acceptance of the
Soviet's minimum demands"
Regarding acceptance by the Nam
king government of the Soviet gov
ernment's conditions, Karakhan said:
whether we are informed of such
acceptance directly by Marking or
Mukden or through a third power
is not important"
He said further that no sugges-
tion of buying out the Soviet's share
of the Chinese Eastern Railroad had
been made from any direction.
Karakhan emphasized the desire
of the Soviet government for peace
and stressed the &c nous patience
and fairness displayed by the Sow
let government after gross viola
ton of its rights" adding that such
a settlement now rests with the Chi
uese authorities.
Asked point blank if he thought
that all danger of armed conflict
had been eliminated, Karakhan said
that the seriousness Of the present
situation must not be underesti-
mated. He added that the war dan
ger was especially strengthened by
