SOVIET WARNED MUST TOLERATE
 MOSLEM TURKS
By PRISCILLA RING GA. P. Correspondent)

ISTANBUL, June 25.- Secular though the Turkish state has be- come, and strong as is her friend- ship with Soviet Russia, Turkish indignation over the religious situa- ton in Russia has been expressed by the semi-official daily, "Djumou- riet."
 The paper declares that the move seeks to erase 25,000,000 Moslem Turks and their national ideals from Russia.
 Citation is made of reports that 5000 mosques have been closed in the district of Idil-Oural; that 14,- 500 Moslem worshippers have been condemned to death or deported, and that the Chief Multi has been arrested for refusing to sign a statement that the Moslems in Russia have not been persecuted.
 The Turkish paper warns the Soviet Union that elimination of Turks was one aim of the czars as it was their aim to also stretch their dominions to Istanbul and to kill the independence of Turkey and in return, Turkey helped to kill the czars.
 Turkey aided the Soviets be- cause they promised to leave Tur- key mistress of her own destiny and it is friendships duty on our part" the "Djumouriet" concludes, "to remind the Soviets of these les sons of history"

of the real number.
While Wall Streets bushes s
agents peddle this tommyrot to the
masses who will be asked to vote for
the bosses and their agents in the
autumn, their own financial bulletins
admit that the crisis is manifesting
no real sign of improvement. As
a matter of fact, they admit that
"the extent of overproduction in i'm
portant lines, the unprecedented
scale of stock speculation, and the
degree Of disorganization resulting
from these extravaganza" have sent
the prospects of recovery aglimmer-
ing into the future-certainly not
of this year.
Thus the June bulletin of the Ma
tional City Bank states that "the
condition of general business has
continued unsatisfactory during
May, and business men who have
been hoping for signs of a definite
turn in the situation have had to
reconcile themselves to further wait
ing"
This hits the nail on the head. The
crisis has mystified the bosses and
their soothsayers and their only
remedy, aside from empty phrases,
is to wait and cut wages!

JAPAN BEHIND

Conflicts Between us.
and Japan Sharpen

One branch of the northern coali-
ton forces, the Shansi army, has
already crossed the Yellow River in
Shangtung province and is only a
few miles north of Tsinan, the capt.
tai of Shangtung.
The japanese policy concerning
the impending fall of Tsinan is of
great significance. A Tokyo dis
patch to the New York Sun, after
reporting that Premier Hamaguchi
cannot send troops without rever-
sing his party's policy" states that
"the government finds some ground
for hope in the apparent desire of
the Shanghai leader, General Yen
Hsi-Shan, to prevent any incident
likely to destroy Japanese good
will"
1t is very interesting to note in
this connection that in May, 1928,
when it was Chang Kai-shek, the
tool of American imperialism, who
was the victor in Shangtung and
was capturing Tsinan, Japan did
everything to obstruct and embar-
rass him, which resulted in the IA
nous Tsinan incident.
The Associated Press dispatch from
Tokyo of June 6, which carries the
news that the Japanese war office
has suspended the arrangement for
sending military instructors to Nan
king is also of great significance in
this connection.
Nothing shows more clearly than
these facts that Japanese imperial
ism, together with British imperial
ism, is definitely at the back of the
northern coalition. The fact that

Two Beaten by Police;
Still More Defiant

A thousand food workers demon
strated Thursday night before the
Pattos Bakery, G. and S., and Gla-
more on Allerton Ave, Bronx. They
held a meeting and speakers told of
the conditions against which the
workers in these shops, led by the
Food Workers Industrial Union have
declared them on strike.
Picketing which followed was at
tackled by the police agents of the
bosses. The workers defended them
selves valiantly.
Two were arrested, Mirabeau and
Martaluk. They were beaten up by
the police on the picket line, in the
car going to the station, in the sta
ton house, in the cells, and in the
finger printing room.
After this, they were charged with
assaulting the police!.
When released on 1000 bail. they
came up to the office of the union
and renewed their pledge to fight
increasingly to build the union, and
win the strikes. The Food Workers
Industrial Union is driving to organ
ize number of shops. Four pickets
were arrested on the lines before the
bakeries in Brooklyn.
Monday night a meeting will be
held at s .. m. in Brooklyn, for
all bakers in that section, to elect

The pressure of work is so great and
the enthusiasm for accomplishment
so intense that it has been neces-
sary to call off the proposed enter
