in some cases included many estab-
lishments.
Another feature of the disputes
which proves the class character of
the workers struggles is the rela-
lively large number of strikes
against victimization. There were
81 for reinstatement of dismissed
workers, IS for wage increases and
II against ill-treatment. What will
be regarded as extraordinary is that
only two strikes took place against
the unbearably long hours of II to
IL hours a day, and even more in
some cases. This is not a surprise
to those connected with the move
ment in China. The wages are so
low that the ordinary worker re-
CARDS amelioration in the direction
of more wages as an immediate
problem.
We have no figures for the last
few months, but by pointing to the
many strikes which have taken place
we can assure the workers that the
militant spirit of the Chinese work
ers is rising against imperialist ex-
ploitetion.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE sending
of a children's delegation to the Sow

District of the Pioneers as the most
important political campaign ever
yet undertaken by any children's or
ganization in this country.
The propaganda of the bosses will
best be eombatted by the revolution
airy children's movements, by the
sending of strong children's delega7
tons to the Russian Pioneer Con-
ention, which takes place the same
month as the Boy Scout Jamboree.
On June 20 big fraternal and
sympathetic children's organization
conference is being called by the
Young Pioneers of District to lay
out plans of work for this district
in support of the children's delega-
ton to Russia. This conference will
take place at the Workers Center,

call is being sent out to number
of such organizations and the Party

especially asked to cooperate with

circles where they have influence.

In the light of Wilson's latest

The Gastonia police have let loose
veritable white terror. They have
seized upon this case as pretext
for terrorizing the strikers, for
keeping the women and children in

and for starting a man-hunt for
every strike leader, organizer and
active member of the N. T. w. U.
The dragnet that they have spread

The organizers have kept up
their activity in the face of attack,

The lynching spirit has been at

They are fresh, raw troops but
unlike the miners of the old West,
they cannot retreat. Industry, trus-
titled and re-trustified industry, in
terlocked and finance-capital until
the union is indivisible, leaves open
no road but that of struggle.
These workers will not follow the
Mustes, the. Hoffmans, the Kelleys,
and those for whom they act as pro-
curers, the Greens, Wolls, and Nc
Gradys. They will not be betrayed
twice. Mass production in plants
where every process is standardized
leaves no decisive group of labor
aristocrats with which the bureau

American section of the r. /. L. u,
the Trade Union Educational

of the American proletariat and
alone can give leadership to their
struggles.

The increasingly open opposition
to Chang Kai-shek by his own for
mer supporters is only a reflection
CT the tremendous opposition to him
on the part of the vast masses of
Chinese proletariat and peasantry
The Pan-Paeific Trade Union Sec
retariat has obtained, through a
publication recently issued by the
Bureau of Social Affairs for the
city of Shanghai, figures containing
the number of strikes which took
place in this port during the first
nine months of 1928. They prove
that the trade union and mass move
ment is definitely rising.
In publication issued by another
organization, the Chinese Aid So
ciety, statistics taken from the Chi
nese press during January and Feb
ruary for the current year deals
with arrests and executions. In
both cases they cannot be complete,
Strikes can occur of which the
Social Affairs Bureau may have no
knowledge, as most workers cor
rectly regard this Kuomintang Bu-
reau as a definite institution of the
enemy, an agency of the employers
and imperialists to cheat and OPP
press the strikers; and some en-
ployers do not always report dis
putes, preferring to manage their
own affairs. Regarding the second
point, it is no exaggeration to say
that hundreds of torturous killings
are committed by the Kuomintang
militarists without the public hav-
ing any knowledge or without ever
appearing in the press. Therefore
these figures are all the more i'm
portant and not at ell exaggerated.
In fact the figures relating to the
latter probably do not record half
the total number of arrests or ex-
ecutions.
Last January 93S were arrested
presumably retained), but S61 were
either shot, strangled, beheaded or
tortured to death by diverse meth
DDS; while in February there were
2,441 and 797, respectively, and SIM
ilarly treated. However, notwith-
standing that these conditions pre-
vailed during the first nine months
of 1928 we find that there were in
Shanghai alone ITS strikes involv-
ing 23S,431 workers and 6,340 estab-
lishments. This proves the militant
spirit Of the Chinese masses has not
been lost and that conditions are SO
bad that many militant leaders of
the masses are prepared to risk ar
rest and even death at the hands of
the Kuomintang militarists rather
than submit.
The P. P. T. U. S., in making an
abstract Of the figures for its affili-
ated organizations, finds that there
were 1880 women and 1889 chill
dren involved. This is because light

matches, etc. employ mostly women
and children. To give only one ex-
ample there were $500 males, 1000
women and 1000 children in a strike
against the British American To-
bacco Co., who struck against i'll
treatment and for better wages.

were only 38 strikes, involving less

Strict Discipline.

Strict Discipline.
Throughout the strike the strikers
have maintained the strongest prole-
tartan discipline. BY their splendid
organization, all the efforts of the
police and thugs to terrorize them
and provoke trouble has been in
vain. The most extreme provocation
found the workers firm and dis
ciplined with ranks unbroken. When
the textile manufacturers and the
government officials found that all
their efforts at terrorism were in
vain, and that the union organiza-
ton remained firm and strong, they
determined to use the most extreme
measures to break the strike and
smash the fighting textile workers
Union which had succeeded in build
ing the first stronghold of workers,
organizations in the textile industry
of the south.
Provocation.
The provocation of the police and
the hired company thugs have in
creased as the strike progressed and
their attitude became particularly
menacing during the last week.
Gun-play, drunken insult and provo
cation, attacks upon strikers with
fist and blackjack have character
lied the conduct of the Gastonia
police during this last week partic-
ularly.
This brutal attack came to head
on Friday when the union gathered
to prepare a picket demonstration
before the Loray mill which was
filled with company spies and thugs
who attempted to provoke the strik-
ers by throwing eggs and stones
when the union organizers, Bush and
Beal were speaking.
The strikers, men, women and
children, marched off in solid rank
from the mill, only to meet an or
ganized and armed resistance of the
police who fell upon them savagely,
beating them up and attacking and
choking the women and children.
Overwhelmed by this brutal assault,
the strikers returned to their tent
colony and dispersed in their tents.
1t was upon this quiet tent colony
with its dozens of families, men,
women and children, preparing for
sleep that the police of Gastonia
made an organized assault.
Aderholt Leads.
Led by police chief Aderholt who,
during the entire period of the
strike, had been most provocative
and brutal of all, the band of police
entered the tent. colony and at
tempted to invade it. Halted by the
guards and asked for their search
warrant, Aderhold answered: "We
don't need any God damned search
warrant" Then his men grappled
with the guards and Aderholt raised
his revolver and fired. The shots
that followed his were the inevitable
outcome of the provocation of
weeks. In the confused firing that
followed, several police were
wounded and Aderholt paid with his
life for his brutal and murderous at
tacks.
The shootings by the police were
seconded by attacks from the Gas
tonia fascist, 200 strong, under the
leadership of Major Bullwinkle, the
local Mussolini, and attorney for the
mill owners. Women and children
were herded into the tents and kept
there by force incommunicado.
Strikers were pursued, organizers
dragged to Jail and beaten and tor
tured. The third degree was used
