REDS ADVANCING
Communists Capture
Marking Arms

SfIANGHAI.--The bourgeois press
in China no longer makes any at
tempt to conceal the magnitude of
Chang Kai-shek's failure to ami
hilate the red troops.
Far from having annihilated or
even weakened the red armies, the
Marking troops have themselves suf-
fered very severe losses. Although
the Marking troops were well-armed
and equipped and directed by Ger
man staff work, they received par
alyzing blow in the fighting around
Tchu.
The red army under General Mao
Tse-dun took 10000 prisoners and
captured z field guns, so machine
guns, 40 trench howitzers and large
supplies of rifles and ammunition,
shells, etc, of all sorts. The 18th
Marking Division was surrounded
and fell into the hands of the red
troops with its general and whole Of
ficers corps. AS result Of Chiang's
campaign to "exterminate" the reds
drive, the areas under Soviet rule in
the provinces and Honan and Hupeh
have been considerably extended.

1900 MARCH in
CHCOPEE, MASS.
Two Arrested; Trial on
March 10th

CHICOPEE, Mass. (By MaiD.-
Three thousand demonstrated for the
Trade Union Unity League demands
for unemployed insurance and i'm
mediate relief from the local Chic
opee city administration. They as
sembled at Market Square on Feb.
n and listened to Alex Brokas, the
TUUL organizer for Springfield and
vicinity, for half hour, telling them
that the only way to force real re-
lief from the city administration was
to march en- masse to the city hall,
one block away.
After he called for volunteers the
workers answered that he should lead
and they would follow. The speaker
stepped down from the box and called
the workers to follow him. Upon
reaching the city hall steps, the
massed police informed the workers
that Mayor Cloutier would see only
committee Of five.
The speaker in an attempt to speak
to the workers and call for a COM
mittee, was Immediately arrested, but
four other workers volunteered to go
in. When they reached the mayor
they demanded that their spokes-
man, Alex Brokas, be released.
AS the mayor saw that all the
workers were behind the speaker,
he ordered couple Of police to bring
him up from his cell. AS is usual,
the mayor said that the workers
could get charity and that the city
was doing enough. When one Of the
delegation came on to report this to
the waiting masses, the police got Or
ders to break up the meeting.
Clara Bloom told the workers that
they had a right to hear what the
mayor had said, whereupon two po-
licenen arrested her.
Alex Brokas and Clara Bloom we're
kept in jail until the international
Labor Defense came to their aid
shortly after and bailed them out on

Yesterday the assembly unanimous
ly adopted resolution thanking the
state police for their bloody assault
on the jobless. The resolution was
introduced by Fred L. Porter, repub-

Assenblyman Cuvillier of New York
City stated that the police did excel

only sorry some more of the jobless

Cuyillier stated yesterday to the
press that on Monday he would intro

declared: 'sThe thing am sorry about
is that the state police did not use

cription Of the long and slow at
tempt Of Gandhi to make his be-
trayal appear the result Of deep
thought and profound understand
ing) Still more, the same London
News Chronicle tells us that Gandhi
is becoming one of the most ardent
agents of the London Round Table
conference:
"Gandhi is now throwing all his
weight into the effort to induce his
committeeman to abandon their i'm
mediate demands and forthwith de-
clare an armistice on the proposals
of the Round Table Conference"
So much for Gandlli, the "lead-
err typifying the revolt Of the Indian
masses" as the Lovestoneites put it.
Gandhi's inevitable collapse, and his
more certain support to the blood
bath for the Indian masses, does not
sound the final note in the struggle
1t opens up new phase. The masses
who are fighting not for a "consti-
tuition" but for bread, for land
against crushing taxation, for the
most elementary rights of human be-
ings, will realize that the bourgeois
Indian National Congress, with its
Gandhis, its Nehrus, leads them back
to the yoke of British imperialism
The growing industrial terrorist cam
paign is a gauge of the growing vio-
lent expression of the mass uprising.
A new force has already entered
the struggle. The Communist Party
of India is in formation. A draft
program, pointing the way for the
real struggle, has already been pub
lished. What this program foretold
about Gandhi is now a reality. The
bourgeois leadership will lose its hold
on the masses. The revolutionary
workers with the support Of the great
mass Of poor peasants. will take the
lead in the relentless fight against
British Imperialism and its native
bourgeois lackeys. ''""'" d

preston through lower weekly earn

Of the large mills Of the country u
This is the opening gun in mass
-slashing drive in the steel in
dustry. We are told that 1.-THE next
few weeks may prove to be among
the most important in the steel in
dustry in recent years" This is a
warning to the workers. The wage
cuts will come within the next few
weeks. The workers must organize
now to strike.
Wage-cutting is not limited to the
steel industry alone. We have Aus
tin T. Levy, president Of the Still
water worsted Mills, speaking for
the wool industry, admit that wages
are going down. He said: "Unless
we bring different point OF view to
bear on wage reductions, the country
is in danger Of losing all the advan-
tage in the general standard Of Iiv-
ing which has accrued in the last
20 years" Wages, this boss admits,
are going down to where they were
20 years ago.
At the same time we get reports
today of two wage-cuts: The Carls-
burg Mill and Timber Co. has cut
wages for 70 workers. The mill runs
on an average Of three days a week
and the cut makes the wages $40
per day, or $7.20 a week.
In New York, the Jewish section
Of the fresh-water fish merchants
cut wages 20 per cent and at the
same time laid off one-third of their
workers. This is just the beginning
Of general wage-cutting in this in
dustry.
When the big steel wage-cut drive
starts in, it will be sweeping attack
against all workers, pushing their
standard Of living even lower than
the present starvation level.

self IN his true c0lOrS.
Gable reports from New Delhi say
that Gandhi and Sir George Schu-
ster, Indian Finance Minister have
come to terms on the question of
salt-making. The Associated Press,
remarking on this fact, says that an
agreement has been reached ION the
salt question, one Of the outstanding
problems in the way Of abandonment
Of the civil disobedience campaign"
The rest will be easy. Gandhi will
abide by the Round Table Confer
ence. He has already gone very far
in his negotiations with the British
Viceroy, Lord Irwin. What held him
back even in appearance was not
his wish, but the growing pressure
Of the masses. Gandhi would have
preferred to hold out a little longer,
to give the appearance that he is
not captivating so easily. But his
financial hackers, the real force be-
hind Gandhi, the Indian bourgeoisie,
called an abrupt halt. They realized
that in face of the rising tide of
mass violence they must cast their
lot Fundamentally with Macdonald,
that is, with British imperialism.
Gandhi had opened the way. The
class lines are sharpening Soon
Candhi will applaud the slaughter
of Indian workers and peasants as in
the interest of Cancellation, peace
and cooperation"
Now Gandhi is working out the
plans of the complete betrayal. The

"Gandhi and Lord Irwin, Viceroy
Of India, are again in consultation
and every sign points to the an

ENGDAHL TRIAL
SET FOR MAY IL
Face Sedition Charge
in Canada

MONTREAL, Can, March 5.-The
trial of J. Louis Engdahl, general
secretary of the International Labor
Defense, and Bella Gordon, Mon
treal secretary of the Canadian La
Dor Defense League, charged with
sedition and unlawful assembly, will
come before the Kings Bench, May
II, according to decision of Judge
Perreault here. Demand for a jury
trial was granted.
Plans are being prepared by the
Canadian Labor Defense League by
which Engdahl and Gordon will de-
fend themselves in the courts OF
King George v. This will be made
difficult by the fact that two Ian
guages, English and French, are rec
ognized as official languages in the
province of Quebec, of which two
thirds of the population are French
Canadians, who speak French. In
fact, Montreal prides itself on being
the Paris of Canada.
Since neither Engdahl nor Gordon
are we'll versed in the French Ian
guage, the demand will be made that
the trial be conducted exclusively in
the English language before an Eng
disappearing jury.
Michael CARRIER, counsel for Eng
dahl and Gordon, is demanding q
court order for the return Of prop
erty seized by the police at the time
of the raid.
