workers of the South, the exploited
textile workers, see their duty to
their fellow workers as clearly as
the miners of Illinois did in 1922, if
the National Textile Workers Union

In Herrin they had an old and
solid organization, IS far as the
rank and file were concerned. In
the Gastonia case, there is new
and still unfin,-hed organization. On
the other hand, the Gastonia case, in
which strikers stood at the doors of
their own homes to fight, is better,
legally; there is the old common law
that "every mans house (or tent) is
his castle" But the decision will
come in terms of organization and
support by the working class. The
fact that the N, T. w. U. may not
be as strong as the union was in

Chiang's New Alimony
Law Gives Him Chance
At SoOng Bank Rolls

PEKING, China, Aug. 12.-
Further indication of a breach be-
tween the militarist president of
China, Chang Kai-shek, and his
enormously wealthy hackers, the
Soong family, is seen here in a law
being rushed through to give hus-
bands the right to collect alimony
from erring wives.
The new law was announced by
Wei Tao-min, acting director of the
judicial board at Marking, today,
who said it would be promulgated
soon.
One member of the Soong family,
T. V. Soong, has just resigned the
important post of minister of fin
ance in Marking. A daughter of the
family is married to Chang. OBJ
servers here think that Chang is
taking time by the forelock and pre-
pairing for the open breach by law
that will enable him to raid the

Briefs
BY ALBERT MOREAU

The reactionary government OF
Brazil is again making terrific at
tack against the workers and peas
ants of Brazil, as a counter-act of
the increasing activities of the
workers who, in spite of the lille
gality into which they were driven
by the dictatorship, have succeeded
in establishing numerous revolu-
tionary organizations. During the
month of July, the federal police
force conducted a raid upon fifteen
workers organizations, wrecking
the interior of the buildings and
making over 700 arrests. In the in
dustrial center of Rio de Janeiro,
Recife, San Pablo and others, the
raids were made without any war
rants. Mary leaders were given
the third degree and put in jail.
What is the underlying cause for
these new prosecutions Brazil
has a revolutionary working class
and peasantry. The recent strikes
which took place in that country
have a deep political character. I'm
der the dictatorship of the Wall
Street president, Washington Luis,
the Communist Party as well as all
working class organizations were
ruthlessly crushed. Nevertheless,
the workers persisted in maintain
ing their organizations. They have
created a militant Workers and
Peasants Bloc and many branches
Of the Ail-America Anti-Imperialist
League. The further conquests of
American financial capital are wor-
ssninE the economic status. Of the

starvation wages into an unbcara-
nic 1--we: state. The strike of the
1900 printers ir San Pablo openly
challenged the dictatorship Of the
government. re police and mill
TIA forces were used ruthlessly to
break the strike, going as far as
entering the houses Of the workers,
smashing the furniture and mis-
handling the wives and children Of
the strikers. The recent strikes,
the revolutionary activities OF the
Workers and Peasants Bloc, where
/ IN the ;nmunists are very active,
Ito gcther with the dcep-growing
crisis Of Brazilian capitalism, have
put the :eactionary forces in an
open conflict against the workers
and peasants. The movement will
90 or, as the Brazilian workers have
learned much by the past events
and know how to organize and

Almoss Immediately after the for
malitie; of the Kings speech were
over a government spokesman an
nounced to the House of Commons
that one of the first acts of legisla-
ton would be a bill to increase the
number of recipients of widows pen
sions and to remove certain of the
anomalies under the present Act.
A week later, at a Durham
Women's Gala, Macdonald an
nounced that this had been dropped
because there were "too many diff
culties."
Labor and the Nation" (the La
Dor Party's election program) prom
ised that the unemployed would re-
ceive a more "human" treatment
and more adequate benefits.
ecently Margaret Bondfield
minister of Labor) moved in Com
mittee that the Treasury grants to
the Unemployed Insurance Fund be
increased owing to its serious dim
mutton. 1t was pointed out by
Clydeside M. P.'s that this grant
would not allow increased benefits
to the unemployed, but that, on the
contrary, it would only allow for
benefits being paid at the existing
scale for 100000 persons, whereas
the number of unemployed is sub
stantially higher an this number.
Some of the Labor M. P.s de-
scribed it as a "bertyal of the un-
employed" But, ~evertheIess, none
voted against it!
In the first three weeks of the
Labor Government 21,170 unem-
ployed persons were denied benefits
on the grounds that they were mot
genuinely seeking work" This
clause, in its present form, was
framed by the last Labor Govern
ment.
The miners seven-hour day de-
mand remains as it was under the
Tory government.
The Anti-Trade Union Act is not
to be repealed. If anything is to
be done at all it is only to be
amended in order to remove the re-
strictions which hamper the flow of
trade union funds into the Labor
Party Golfers. So far does their
zeal for trade union freedom go!
The government announced that
the dictators appointed by Baldwin
in West Ham,, Bedwellty and other
places to take over the duties of
suppressed Boards of Guardians
(who had been giving too much re-
lief"!) were to be abolished.
In an interview with delegation
of the Monmouth County Council
the Minister of Health said that the
dictators were only to be substituted
by Commissioners appointed by the
County Council, who are not en-
powered to increase the scale of re-
lief in the distressed areas affected,
but are to continue the policy of the
Tory Commissioners. The Aber-
tillery Trades Council has decided
not to support this proposal.
