WOOL STRIKERS
BATTLE MORGAN
100000 Profits But
Wage Cuts for Men

MANCHESTER, N. H., April II.
Led by the National Textile
Workers Union, the 1000 wooden
weavers on strike in Coolidge Mill
here of the Amoskeag Mfg. Co. are
fighting directly against the house
of J. P. Morgan & Co., financial
car, and fighting in the largest
textile concern in the United States.
Present management Of Amos
keag was put in by Kidder, Pea
body & Co. Robert Winsor, Nor
gan representative in New England,
is a director of the Amoskeag.
In the last year and half inten-
sive exploitation has gone on in
Amoskeag mills. In some depart
ments the work per man has been
doubled for less pay. On Christ
mas Eve, 1927, the company gave
it's workers a little present i'll the
shape of a 10 ten per cent wage
cut. Its company union accepted
the cut. On March 10, of this year.
the company proposed 10 per cert
cut, and the workers voted four to
one against it, in spite of all the
company could do.
Last year this company made
100000 clear profit.

CHINESE BOSSES
Get SNUBBED
No More Chinese on
Shanghai City Council

SHANGHAI, April IA mo-
ton to increase Chinese member
ship on the Municipal Council at
the Foreign Concessions at Shang-
hal was rejected today by the tax
payers annual meeting which was
directly controlled by the British
and American imperialists.
The Municipal Council at the
Shanghai concessions was formerly
exclusively composed of foreign
members. The Chinese bourgeoisie
secured a representation of three
members as against nine foreign i'm
perialists on the Council only in
1925 when, owing to the rising revo-
lutionary wave and the fact that the
Chinese bourgeoisie at that time
still could rally the masses to its
support, the imperialists saw the
necessity to make concession as
means of bribing the Chinese
bourgeoisie. With this and other
brides the national bourgeoisie of
China definitely betrayed the revo-
luton.
Now, although there is a new ris-
ing wave of the revolution, the i'm
perialists clearly understand that
the Chinese bourgeoisie has lost all
mass support because of their be-
trayal of the revolution. Obvious
ly, concessions to the Chinese bour-
geoisie in this case are not neces-
sary. Herein lies the explanation
of the rejection of the motion of
the Chinese bourgeoisie by the i'm
rerialist controlled Municipal Coun-
Gil.

British Imperialism Is

Cable reports from Karachi, In
dia, state that renewed fighting is
going on there today. Ten thou
sand people stormed the Karachi Jail
when several of the Nationalist
leaders were sentenced to from six
months to two years in prison.
NAVSARI, Bombay, India, April
17.-Admitting that the masses had
left him flat in their violent attacks
on the British masters, Mahatma
Gandhi, one of the best friends Brit
ish imperialism has in India, called
upon the workers and peasants to
submit to the armed British forces.
"Be the violences ever so little" de-
clared Gandhi, 81 have no doubt that
it will harm our struggle"
Macdonald is quietly rushing
troops from England to various
joints in India in an attempt to
smash the seething revolutionary &C
ton of the workers and peasants.
From capitalist press reports it is
evident that the British masters are
extremely alarmed over the growing
revolutionary spirit of the Indian
masses, despite Gandhi's implorings
that they desist. Gandhi is pur-
posely not arrested, as his presence
outside of prison is a boon to the
British bosses. So critical is the
situation, that the British author
tiles do not dare to use the Hindu
soldiers, but rely on the imperialist
mercenary forces and the police.

The frame-up against E. Zinolo-

pletely smashed in general sessions
yesterday, although two fascists, di-
rect employees of the blackshirt
government were on hand as wit
nesses to see that he got to Jail.
The court was willing to see
Zinolovino sentenced, but the fascist
Paterno, an employee Of the Italian
consulate here, and the fascist Dor
dona, former captain in the army,
could not agree on their perjuries,
and as there was no other evidence
to show even that the anti-fascist
was at the meeting where the as
sault took place, Zinolovino was &C.
quilted. He was charged with fell
onious assault because a fascist was
injured in fascist fractional fight
among themselves. All then looked
for one Of their enemies to lay the
blame on, and Zinolovino was sell
