By N. L.
IN the night of February 9, 1880, rebellion
broke out among the native soldiers in the
Yen-Bay Military Post stationed $50 kilometres
from Hanoi, in the province Of Tonking. The
rebels were Joined by the local peasant popula-
ton. According to Havas communication the
Yen-Bay Post was attacked by 200 native SOL
diers and 60 local revolutionaries. Five French
officers were killed The rebels captured two
barracks, where the Red Flag was promptly
hoisted.
The French authorities Immediately took
steps to introduce claw and order" in the post
1t was surrounded by strong contingent OF
French troops the authorities apparently did
not altogether trust the native forces. Air
planes were used to suppress the revolt.
With the rising in Yen-Bay, the natives at
tackled the military post in Hung-Hoa. They
were repulsed, several of their number being
killed and wounded. Nguyen Khac-Nhu, rev.
dictionary who had been sentenced in his abb
sence to 20 years penal servitude, died of his
wounds.
During the rising in Yen-Bay and the at
tack on the military post in Hung-Ho revo-
lutionaries threw bombs in various parts of the
town of Hanoi. This was done to divert the
attention of the authorities from the event
developing in Yen-Bay and to hold up the dis
patch Of punitive expedition to rescue the
government forces besieged in Yen-Bay.
This is the first armed rebellion in Indo-
China The French colonizers were seriously
alarmed over the fact that movements of the
rebels should have ben so well co-ordinated.
"Depeche Coloniale" writes: "The mutiny in
Yen-Bay was a rising of the regular troops
against their French officers. 1t would be
wrong to under estimate the gravity of the
situation" The article ends by urging that
the European garrison be strengthened in Indo-
China. Of course, the French press claimed
that the mutiny was due to foreign influence,
that "the hand of Moscow" was clearly to be
seen. The French newspapers demand
that the number of officers knowing the native
vernacular be increased.
Reason for Rebellion.
Why did the rebellion occur? The position
in Indo-China is certainly instructive. On the
one hand the natives are brutally exploited and
are eking out miserable existence. There is
a shortage of rice, the staple food in Indo-
China, although it is exported in large quaint
ties. being one of the ma jor items in the export
trade of Indo- China. The indentured workers
have to work like slaves on the plantations.
Official figures admit that the death rate
among the workers is as high as 40 to so per
cent. Peasants who have lost their land
which is fiched from them under all kinds of
pretexts-are compelled to sign contracts with
the labor recruiters, signing themselves into
virtual slavery on the plantations Labor con-
ditions on the plantations and in the mines
appalling. Coolies are compelled to work Is
and ID hours day for 80 to 40 sous (71a to
10 cents). There is no medical service. The

REBELLION IN INDO-CHINA

land rents are extremely high; the whole popu-
lation of China grooming under the in
tolerable burden of existing taxation which is
constantly being increased
On the other hand, we have the colonizers,
enriching themselves by squeezing uper-profits
from Indo- China-this "richest colony of the
French Empire"-as the French themselves
call it. When the Colonial Budget was being
discussed in the French Chamber, Doriot, the
Communist deputee, cited figures showing how
French capital investments had increased in
Indo- China. Altogether French investments
comprise three milliard francs, and are valued
today on the exchange at Is milliard francs
The investment of 10 million francs in the
cement industry of lndo-China is valued at 500
million francs on the exchange, the shares of
the seven millions invested in the coal mining
industry now being worth $50 million francs,
etc.
Rebels Have Successes.
In spite of the determined measures taken
by the authorities, rebellion is spreading. From
Yen-Bay the rebellion has spread throughout
the Pleuve Rouge Valley for more than 200
kilometres. Rebels captured the village of
Fuduk and attempted to attack Fort Nigian.
In Winhbao the rebels killed an Anamese Of
fetal who had tried to leave in an automobile
for Nigian to get reinforcements. Suisse
quently, news came through that similar "dis-
and in the lower Delta region. 1t is certainly
characteristic that when the Yen-Bay barracks
were captured the native population should
have fraternized with the soldiers. The peas
ants began to support the rebels. Several
stores of arms and explosives were discovered
in Hanoi.
All of the forces of the government, includ-
ing the air force were moved against the
rebels Several native settlements were bombed
the village of Roam being RACED to the ground.
Severe repressions are being used against the
rebels Many individuals have been arrested
in Phutho, Hung-H oa, Lam-Thoa, Hai-Duong
and elsewhere, on the charge of being "con-
nected with the Communist organizations"
had also occurred in these localities. Nume-
rous arrests are still being made in Tonking.
BY February 24,211 rebels had already been
rounded up" Among them were Sc soldiers.
Thirteen rebels have been sentenced to death;
two to penal servitude Many are of the opin-
ion that more death sentences will follow, since
the authorities sparing no efforts to sup
press the present rising. But one thing is
certain: the rebellion itself and the bitter re-
pressions instituted by the government will
bring home to thousands supon thousands of
Indo-Chinese workers the true role of French
Imperialism in Indo- China which, claiming to
be "cvlizing factor" has only brought pow
erty, exploitation and terror for the people.
the French mperialsts will not be able to
root out the unrest and ferment that has
already started nmong the broad masses.

THIS question can only be answered by thor
ough exposure of our own weakness and a
real effort made to correct them. Why
grow so slowly organizationally will be the
subject of discussion, and action taken at the
meeting of the Trade Union Unity Council to
be held Thursday, July 10, at 7.45 p. m. at 13
West 18th st. Every organization affiliated
to the T.U.U.C. of New York prefaces very
poor organizational report on the TU.U.I.
membership drive by stating that the workers
ready for organization, ready for struggle
but very few ever get down to sef-crtical
analysis of the fundamental cause for the
ganizational weakness of the T.U.U.L and its
affiliated evolutionary unions and leagues.
The weaknesses in New York are many. A
few of the main errors are:
l. The small number of Party members
who are active members of the Trade Union
Unity League
g Resistance to and underestimation of
shop activity.
g. Underestimation and resistance to build
ing the Trade Union Unity Council as the
revolutionary trade union central council of
New York.
A. Underestimation of the role of the Youth
expressed in resistance to the building of
new and broader local leadership.
s. Underestimation of the role of Labor
g. Lack of understanding of the united
front from below.
In program and resolution we have shown
that theoretically we understo ord, or ~ TX
understand the program of the R.IL.U., the
Importance of work among the Negroes. f"a,h
and Women, of struggle AGAINST unemployment
war, for the defense of the Soviet Union, of
the need of building shop committees, etc., etc.
but in practice it is a different story How
many functioning shop committees are there in
New York? The Needle Trades have two or
three hundred shop committees, with a shoD
delegate council of about $50 delegates. The
food union has reorganized itself rron to ceor
committee basis with a large shop delegate
council, but these shop committees are still
name, they do not function such--the same
old union apparatus with a little change in
form and name, conducts the affairs of the
union. The shop committee and shop delegate
councils have not yet taken over the leadership
and complete control of the shop and the union
The Trade Union Unity Council has paper

IN at the meetings The work of the TIL NC
differs only slightly from the old propaganda
leag,e, in srite of the fact that it is a lsle
gated hodv, meeting every two weeks, with an
executive committee oe 35--the ormariZcr and
the secretary functions as the TU.U. C.--the
Negro, Youth, and Women departments re-
naming on paper--the delegates and the
unions are net drawn into the work, nor do
they pay rer capita tax to aid in the work.
and very little Roadway ha been made in de-
velopin~ a broader leadership. This is due to
the fact that the leadership of the unions and
leagues do nct yet take seriously the building
Of the T.U.UC. and do not understand the
important role that a revolutionary central
council can and must play in the class struggle
1t also expresses a weakness on the part of

the leadership of the T.U.U.C. in so slowly
developing the T.U.U.C and drawing in the
delegates to active work. Acceptance of more
tasks than one can do can also be form of
resistance to developing young workers into
leadership All too often does one hear "He
or she is too young-they have had no exper4
ience."
The task of building shop committees of
forming a united front with the workers for
joint struggles one that we do very badly
We either talk to the workers from above
them, at t EN- from the outside but we do
not yet understand how to organize the work
ers so that they will take hold of their strug-
gle, plan and carry out campaigns, the old
A. F. of L. policy of a bureaucratic union still
fingers with US. We have learned by the ex-
perience of our class to struggle against this
wrong bureaucratic policy but we have not
been able to root it out of ourselves as in
dividuals. The workers will learn revolution
airy policy faster in the strike struggles
through broad rank and file committees who
will lead than by depending upon one indiv-
idual or by looking at the union as some
thing outside of themselves.
The developing of the revolutionary indus
trial unions into organs of struggles means
the building of our Party into mass Com
munist Party. To seriously carry out this
union fractions must become the driving lead
ing force in the L., developing the shop
committees, shop delegate councils into the
fighting basic unit of the organizations, build
ing united front movements for struggle
around the concrete issues in the shop, link
ing up the demands of the unemployed and
employed as one campaign-as one struggle.
The growing unemployment, general wage
cuts, speed up, the capitalist terror, the open
fascist character of the A. F. of L. and their
allies, the socialist party, the -norganized con-
dition of the ,5orking class and the numerous
expressions of the workers to struggle under
the leadership of the T.U.UL L., should compel
US to analyze our shortcomings in a frankly
critical manner. to tighten up our ranks, and
to really seriously begin to fulfill the historic
task of the T.U.U L. ie., to organize the un-
organized for the class struggle. The Trade
Union Unity Council of New York is tagging
far behind tn task that history demands we
perform. Pressure from the rank and file
upon the pre- ent leadership and the develop
ment of new leadership is prerequisite to
the carrying out of this task.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-07-09

Such is the reward of the Southern textile
worker shaving for nine and ten hours a day
under the inhuman speed-up and stretch-out
system. In America, the richest country in
the world, hunger, misery, and starvation wrap
their bony fingers around millions of workers,
their wives and children, while the bosses
build battleships heap up profits and make
plans for another imperialist war in which
workers will be expected to fight and defend
the miserable system of capitalism.
AS poverty and unemployment increase,
disease also quckens its pace among the poor
Pellagra and tuberculosis spreading among
the mill workers of South Carolina; and death
and starvation lurk like ghosts in the faces
of workers, their wives and children.
In vain gesture of lessenng the misery
of these wage slaves the Salvation Army and
the Red Cross flutter about putting pads un-
der the heavy yoke of capitalism. The Red
Cross and the Salvation Army have nothing
to offer as a cure for the uncomfortable op-
preston which is logical result of capital
ism. These organizations can merely sue
coed in deu ling few backward workers in
to believing the bosses system is doing some
thing to take care of the sick and shattered
bodies which it has created.
Conditions in Greenville S. c., are intoler-
able So bad that even the "Greenville Pied
mont, bourgeois paper, is trying to stir
it's subscribers to charitable responses. Here
families are unable to clothe themselves, and
dumpy, spindle legged children sprawl about
in squalor with nothing more than a rag or
apron to clothe their nakedness. A middle
aged man, owning no clothes but pair of
tattered overalls, was looking about for ma
terial enough to cover his body so he could
attend a clinic and receive treatment for
dangerously sore foot and varicose veins.

IN GREENVILLE, N. c., there is goose
which lays two eggs. One for the boss
and one for the worker. The egg which it
lays for the boss is golden. 1t buys him lux
uries and ease, steam yachts and motor cars.
The egg which it lays for the mill-worker is
a goose egg'-a big zero!
Often textile mill payroll clerks will laugh
at the CONSERVATION on the faces of workers
who, upon signing their wage receipts, re-
ceive only an empty envelope. And it would
appear that the boss attempts to magnify
the emptiness of the pay envelops by making
the zeros exceedingly large.
l have before me several of these envelops.
If we examine few of them we may readily
read the tragic story of how the mill barons

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-When the
present fog Of uncertainty lifts from
the financial community, we will
discover, no doubt. that we have
again been unduly frightened. The
very low price of wheat is dis
concerning, but its effect upon the
total farm income is not as great as
it at first seems.
The total United States wheat
crop this year represents APP
proximately five per cent of the
gross farm income for 1929 which
the dept. of agriculture estimated at
eleven billion eight hundred million
dollars, Economists estimated that
the 1880 aggregate farm income will
possibly decline one billion dollars
from that vi last year and even less
based on figures of the three
previous years.
AS to the farmers purchasing
ability it is estimated the purchasing
power Of the dollar has increased
nearly 10 per cent within a year,
which will largely. Offset the ex-
pected decline in income. The gain
in car loadings virtually recovering
the loss sustained during the
previous holiday week, shows that
business is proceeding on an even
keel.

HOW TO PLAY
6dayt BACKGAMMON

players men are in his inner or
home table he commences bearing
them off the board, still according
to the throw of the dice.
The player who first bears all his
men from the board wins. The
players move in opposite directions,
thus meeting as they travel around
the board to their home tables.
At the start of the game each
player throws one dice in his right
hand table. When opponents throw
the same number, they must re-
throw.
High wins and for his first play
uses the number on his own dice
and on his opponents. He can play
one man for one number and an
other man for the other number, or
he can play one man for both num-
berS.
In moving the men start counting
from the point next to the one on
which the man is resting, so that
with an even number the man is
moved to point of the same color,
and with an odd number the man is
moved to a point of a contrasting
color.
When moving one man for both
numbers the move must be made in
two separate plays so that the man
can rest on a point corresponding
to one of the two numbers thrown
before playing the second.
The beginner is irclined to add
both numbers and make the whole
play in one move. The objection
to this will be explained in the next
article.
