WIN CAFETERIA
STRIKE QUICKLY
Food Clerks Defy the
Paragraph 900"

Another significant victory was
won by the Cafeteria Workers
Union yesterday afternoon. After
presenting a number of demands to
the bosses of the Pennsylvania Cafe
terra on Bath ST. between Seventh
and Eighth AYES, which is an Asso-
citation shop, the bosses refused to
accept. The shop committee imme-
diately gave the signal; all the
workers left at once, and in spite OF
the police and hired gangsters who
guarded the place since early in the
morning, a picket line was formed
quickly. Six pickets were arrested.
The customers who were all work
ers themselves, expressed their
solidarity with the strikers and left
the cafeteria together with them.
The bosses were helpless in the
midst of the rush hour with no one
to pick up dish or serve a cup of
coffee. They were compelled to
surrender even at the expense of
breaking with the Association.
Food Clerks Arrested.
Miller's Market, 161st st. and
Union Ave, Bronx, where the
bosses, police and socialists are re-
sponsible for the murder of Steve
Katovis, is using Paragraph 600
(the law against violating an in

were arrested there on the picket
line yesterday. Miller and and
the gangster business agent of Lo-
cal SO, Retail Dairy and Grocery

Trades, only a strike-breaking gang,
pointed out members of the Food
Clerks Industrial Union to large
swarm of policemen, who surrounded
the whole block. The four came be-
fore the labor-hating Judge Duress,
who held them in $500 bail. The
strike and picketing goes on.
The strike of the food clerks pro-
ceeds against the butcher shop at
967 Aldus St, in spite of strike
breaking activities of the social fas-
cist injunctionites. Working class
housewives near both Millers and

SOVIET RULING
Central. China
Red Army Advances;
Soviets in Honan

NJ - ttNoS ~ f"P'~NO'/
SHANGHAI, Feb. 14.-Reports
are received here that Communist
troops are threatening Nanchang,
the capital of the province of
Kiangsi in central China.
Peasant guerilla troops are said
to be joining the Communist armies
in large numbers.
Hankow reports state that there
is an instruction in southeastern
Honan (north of the Yangtze and
the province of Kiangsi which lies
south of the river), and that Soviets
are being formed there. The San
cheng district is reported to be
under Soviet rule.
Despite the savage terror of the
Kuomintang, whether of the Chang
Kai-shek Marking faction or its
Opposition" the genuinely revolu-
tionary movement of the masses,
led by the Communist Party, is
growing daily, finding an especially
strong support in the widening
agrarian revolt.
The Pan-Pacific Red Aid reports
show how, with the worsening of
the already terrible living standard
of the Chinese workers, the Nank-
ing officials are trying to block the
rising of the workers. On Dec. 26
the Marking government notified
the Shanghai authorities that, in
spite of the mounting cost of liv-
ing, requests" for wage increases
may be made "only when it is known
that the business conditions of the
companies by which the workers are
employed, have been satisfactory
during the past few years."
The Kuomintang is following a
policy of using police that are i'm
ported from other districts and
cities, thus hoping to keep them as
hostile mercenaries expressing the
local masses, with whom they have
less chance of sympathy than in
their own localities. This is being
done throughout China.
Frequently, however, in the most
densely populated and heavily po-
Iced cities there break out demon
strations of the workers against the
Kuomintang tools of imperialism.
Repeated demonstrations were held
n Shanghai during December. Nine
youths were arrested in the French
Concession for participating in a
demonstration on the anniversary of
the Canton uprising. One, metal
worker, was given five months for
s"subverting internal security Of the
state"
Fourteen in one and sixteen in
another raid, fifteen in a third raid,
during one month, show the gather
ing resistance of the Shanghai
workers. One Chu Ying-ping was
given six months for having in pos
session a bundle of Communist
papers.
At a cotton mill during Deem
Der, fifty or more girl strikers sud-
denly shouted out anti-Nanking
slogans, astonishing the police in
the busiest section of the Chinese
section of Shanghai. They were led
"by bobbed-haired girl with she'll
trimmed glasses and foreign
sweater over her Chinese gown"
says the press.
The military authorities have, as
consequence, ordered the courts to
turn over all arrested Communists"
to the military, which means they
are not to be given trials, but sum-
marily punished by the soldiery-
which frequently means beheading
or shooting.

near Hastings St. When the police
and company crew came around to
take them back to the garage, one
was missing.
Two hundred police, patrolling
with clubs, guns and tear gas bombs
failed to keep the scab cabs run
ming today. Eight were destroyed
in the fighting, several being burned.
Several thugs sent out by the COM
pany were brought to the hospitals;
police estimate about 81 scabs in
jured. The strikers carry away their
wounded.

CHICAGO, August 6.--A gray-haired
architect lay critically i'll in his studio
home on the shore of Lake Michigan
yesterday. But light has come back
to his eyes.
Bids have been asked for the renewal
of work on Americas Bahist temple
and hope has returned to Louis Jean
Bourgeois that he would live to see
steel and stone fashioned in the shape
of his vision of long ago.
A decade ago Bourgeois dreamed OF
building an occidental shrine of the
Bahai, brought his dreams down to
earth in blue print and sketch, then
moved to the lake shore studio on the
border Of Wilmette TO watch the temple
rise. He was 81 then. Now, at IA,
from his window he can still see only
the bleak moss grown concrete founda-
ton, weather stained with waiting for
its superStructure. Through the decade
it has attracted the curiosity of travel
ers motoring along the lake shore drive.
Spiritually restless, Bourgeois es-
poused several successive religious be-
liefs, finally becoming associated with
the Bahaist movement The sect,
founded by the Persian Bahia Ullah,
now claims millions of followers. With
its growth in the New World increasing
numbering now about 12,000-the
need for an American temple was ex-
pressed, Chicago was chosen for its
location and Bourgeois in 1920 won an
international contest for design.
The corner stone was laid by the
founders son, Abdul Bahia, and in 1922
foundation and basement were finished.
Then the doctrines of Bahaism stilled
the tools of the builders. There must
be no debts, no mortgages, no solicita-
tons Only the voluntary offerings of
Bahaists the world over might enter
the treasury The Mashreq Ul-Azhar
would cost 100000, and foundation
and basement had exhausted all ready
funds.
But through the passing decade the
Orient and Near East joined with the
