PRAGUE, Czecho- Slovakia, July
26.-Continuing their efforts to him
der the great workers demonstra-
tons arranged for August 1 for
the defense of the Soviet Union and
against imperialist war the police
yesterday raided the Communist
Party secretariat and arrested
everybody except the deputies,
Haken and Stern. The typists and
the whole office staff were jailed.
Stern protested at police headquar-
ters. The police claimed that the
search gave them evidence of illegal
circulars and shop papers. The po-
lice hope in this way to suppress
the Communist movement. The
workers are in a great mass protest
movement against police violence.
Atrocities in Manchuria.
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., July &c.
Increased vigor of workers, pea
SAINTS, and Red Army and Navy
demonstrations against the Chinese
war lords resulted all over the So
Wet Union as soon as news spread
Of atrocities committed by the Chang
Hsueh-liang government against the
Soviet employees on the Chinese
Eastern Railroad, who have been on
strike soon after the road was seized
by the imperialist puppets in Man
churia.
Chinese workers who strucl; along
with the Soviet Union workers on
that road are also threatened, ar
rested, beaten and tortured.
The thousands of resolutions from
shop meetings, village meetings,
garrison and ship committees ex-
press the utmost determination to
teach the White Guard raiders who
have at several times crossed the
Siberian border with the help of
Chinese militarist officials a severe
lesson, and to stop with whatever
means are found necessary, the
persecution of Soviet Union citizens
in Manchuria. The workers, pea
SAINTS and Red Army members of
the U. S. S. R. are anxious for peace,
but make it clear that their anxiety
does not extend to the point where
they are willing to stand for any
thing, and is not based on weakness.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Secre-
tary of State Stimson yesterday was
in conference on the Manchurian sit
uation with the ambassadors of
Japan, England, France and Italy,
with the charge d'affaires of Ger
many called in, and Matthew VOL,
vice-president and chief Communist
hater of the American Federation
Of Labor simultaneously in meet
ing with President Hoover.
The diplomats would not state the
results Of their session with Slim
son, but Woll on coming out of the
Hoover meeting issued one of his
characteristic diatribes against "the
Reds" and stated that at is hoped
tina during the arbitration of the
Chinese Russian affair, much evil
dence CT the Russians spreading
subversive propaganda may become
known"
Arbitration a Trick.
1t is considered here that Vol has
betrayed one of the plans of the i'm
perialist powers, which may be to
arbitrate if possible, so they can
use the proceedings for a grand dis
play of forged documents, new Zinc
vieff letters" and other forms of
anti-Soviet propaganda.
On the same day. the transporta-
ton division, department of COM
merce, made public to manufac-
turers and shippers detailed and
careful instructions as to the proper
packing and instructive material to
be included, when shipping aero
planes to China.
