NANkING ARMY
FORCES JOIN REDS
18th Division Deserts;
Shingkuo Falls

NEW YORK. -- Capitalist press
dispatches from China received in
New York yesterday admit that the
Red Armies of the Chinese peasants
and workers are in control of large
areas in Central China and constitute
a far greater danger to the Marking
pUppet government than the armed
rebellion of Marshall Feng Yu-hsiang
and General Yen Hsi-shan", which
came near to overthrow the Marking
crowd.
The peasants, impressed by the
Chinese tools of foreign imperialism
into their armies, continue to desert
to the Red armies. A New York
Times dispatch reports the desertion
of large portion of the 18th Division
sent by Chang Kai-shek against the
Chinese Soviets. This wholesale de-
sertion enabled the Red armies tc
capture the formidable base OF
Shingkuo with great stores of NUM-
tions. Shingkuo was the headquart-
ers of the Marking expedition against
the Red forces.
A memorial sent to Chang Kai-
shek by the Chinese landlords and
merchants Of Kiangsi and Human
provinces recites the "sufferings' OF
those exploiters of the masses and
admits that 81 of the 81 counties If
Kiangsi are entirely administered by
Chinese Soviets, while in 80 Other
counties of Kiangsi, "the Reds sec
reilly control affairs, leaving only
counties in an area as large a.
France" free for landlord OPPRESSION
of the masses. I'm Honan similar
situation prevails"
In the meantime, the various mill
tarist tools of foreign imperialists are
again at each others Threats. Gen.
eral Chang Fa-kwai has successfully

IronsideS and decisively defeated the
forces of Marking. In the North

81 greet the Daily Worker for its
part in bringing the unemployed
question before the eyes of the
American working class. The CAPT
talist press and its agents, the A. +.
of L., said nothing about unem-
plOyment until the Communist
Party and the Daily Worker ex-
posed the takers, Green, Vol and
the Socialist Party.
This Party is nothing but a new
born baby to the other capitalist par
ties, who are not interested in the
conditions of the workers but the
bosses.
Therefore, I pledge my full sup
port to the Daily Worker and the
Communist Party, and I will try and
build the circulation of the Daily
Worker in Ambridge.
"Send me a bundle of Daily
Workers and i will try and sell
them to the workers of Ambridge
so they can get acquainted with the

working class and fights for their
living and better working condi-
tions and the overthrow of the boss

STEEL WORKERS
TO FIGHT BACK;
ORGANIZING NOW
Schwab Lays Off More
Workers

SPARROWS POINT, Md.-More
tl7ar IS stick pullers have been fired
within a period of six months as q
result of the introduction of the
stick Pulling Machines. There
were formerly Is stick pullers, now
there are only 40 on the same work.
A concrete example Of naturalization
(speed-up) was put into actual prac-
tice on the stick pulling machine.
With the introduction of the machine,
four men were used to operate tn
machine
One worker hauled stickers from
8 shears, one worker feeded. one
opened corners and one was catcher.
Through the customary methods of
elimination the crew was cut down
to 2 men after the crews broke in on
the job. One man now carries stick
ers from shears, cleans up, opens
corners and hauls them to the scales.
The work now is the worst form Of
exploitation, Although the mill is
working on part time, the men are
forced to work 10 hours a day. and
many times have to work overtime
at a wage of As cents an hour. The
pay of stick puller for two weeks
don't average more than $25 to $50.
The workers in this department are
very militant and are fully aware of
the intense exploitation they are
forced to contend with and from all
signs, important developments Of
struggle will be fought in the Tin and
Hot mills. The workers are building
the Tin Mill Committee to fight for
the 8-hor day, 5-day week and IS
cents hour rate for stick pullers, also
part time insurance. The fight
against speed-up is concretized by a
demand of four men on the stick
pulling machine instead of two men.
There is the heaIthiest reaction to the
demands set forward by the Tin Mill
Committee of the Metal Workers In
dustrial League. The speed-up and
low wage is making the workers think
about organization, consequently the
growing militancy and determination
to fight against the Bethlehem Steel
BaronS.
Join the Metal Workers Industrial
League.

once fired street cleaner who
couldn't pay the normal three per
cent of bis salary to Hague because
his wife was bedridden and doctors
bills had eaten up his money.
Hague, as the leading Catholic lay
man in New Jersey, regularly con-
tributes $4,000 affairs to the various
Catholic churches, and it is believed
by many that he ordered the burn
ing of the Fourth Regiment Ar
mOry in Jersey City because it OBJ
structed the light of new church,
st. Aedan's, which was being built.
When, in the normal course of
Brandle's business as an A. F. Of L.
official, he meets an employer who
objects to the high price that Brandle
charges for strikebreaking and wage
slashing, Hague is always willing to
exert a little pressure on the boss
who wants to "hog it ALL" He can
invoke the law, for example, which
requires the payment Of a tax on
personal property: law which is
universally evaded by the wealthy
men in the city. The evasion of this
law is one of the reasons why the
workers of Jersey City are burdened
with the highest tax rate in America,
and is comparable to Hoovers re-
fusing to permit $lS,0oo,ooo to be
spent on food for starving farmers a

The Havana Harbor Workers Fed
Grafton has threatened to strike in
solidarity with the striking fisher
men and stevedores, thus tying up
all activity in the port of Havana.
Another harbor strike is beginning on
the southern side of the island.
The strike wave is growing, despite
the reformist and fascist union lead
ers, and means an entrance of the
workers into the field of anti-imper-
ialist struggle on the basis of con-
crete demands Of the workers, whose
conditions are miserable.
The so-called Nationalist" not
depending on the masses, are using
terrorist methods, as shown not only
by continuous bomb explosions, but
by the burning of vast amounts Of
sugar cane on the plantations. Such
actions, while showing the deep anti
imperialist feeling of the followers Of
the Nationalist" are ineffective.
Against such methods the Communist
support the rising strike wave and
mass action.
Doubtless because the bourgeois
opposition to Machado notes with
fear the growing activity of the work
ers, one of its leaders, Menocal, has
held private discussion with Ma
chado, apparently trying to reach a
compromise. Both make the absurd
claim that the conference was the

EDMONTON, Canada, Editor Daily
Worker.-You arc receiving letters
from workers describing conditions in
mining and lumber camps. Here is
some of the conditions that the white
collared slaves of the Macdonald Ho-
tel, Edmonton. a part of the c. N. R.
system of hotels have to exist on.
They are supposed to work eight
hours per day and one day off every
week. but the boss makes them work
ten or twelve hours per day with only
an occasional days holiday and that
only when the boss wills it.
The food that is issued to them is
the cleft overs" from the tables of
the parasites which are able to live
here. After being rehashed time and
time again, until it has lost all its
food value.
One Of the employees volunteered
if the boss would give him five dollars
month extra to board at home, b
he was refused so that you can see
for yourself how much value they
place on this garbage. There is sup
posed to be health inspectors in this
province yet we never see them
around the hotel of "or railroad"
AS preliminary to the putting of
employees on short time, notices have
put put in all departments that all
employees will be laid off for one week
per month. Said layoffs without pay
TO cut down expenses of running the
hotel and the workers having to foot
the bill making it possible for Henry
Thornton to save more dollars to &c
into the pockets Of the bond holders.
With the exception of the engine
room, the workers of the Macdonald
Hotel are not organized. This is the
hotel that the labor takers Of the A
F. of L. stopped at while in con-
vention.

GETTING THE DAILY
WORKER TO FARMERS

This note comes from Andrew ON

il? Also the fact that Brandlc is
the head of the Hudson County
Building Trades Council. How con-
venient il would be for the bosses if
the head of the building trades
were friendly to the men who used
so many building trades workers?
How many strikes could be avoided
and how easy ii would be to keep
the workers in their place" Well,
the fact of the matter is, Brandle
organized this bosses organization
and gets part of its profits. More
over, 1t was he who suggested the
idea to the bosses and not the
bosses to him.
The same situation exists in the
trucking business. Brandle has Or
ganized the truckmcn of Jersey City
into the Hudson County Truck Own
erS' Association. Truckmen pay
Brandle for admission into the asso-
citation and in addition pay an as
sessment on each truck they own.
Isn't it peculiar that Brandle con-
trolls the Transfers Union?
Then there Is the Mason Material
Mems Association, also organized by
Brandle. Because of the valuable as
sistance Brandle renders members OF
this bosses association, he is permit
ted TO get a "cut" on every bag of
cement sold in Jersey City. The con-
nection between Brandle and these
associations becomes still more en-
Tightening because of the fact that
many of their members are also men,
bers of the League for Industrial
Rights, a strikebreaking organization
which, for yearly consideration, !"
will supply injunctions to any en-
ployers who want to use them in
labor disputes"
There is a wealth Of evidence to
prove that the one sure way for an
A. f. of L. official to lose his job
is to display any interest in the well
fare of the men in the union.
