JAPAN RUSHING
ARMS TO CHINA
Munitions Shipped By
u. S. Bosses

Japan is rushing large supplies of
ammunition to its forces in Shanghai
and other Chinese cite sin prepara-
tion for new blood baths against the
Chinese workers such as marked the
murderous bombardment last Janu-
airy of the unfortified proletarian
Chapel district in Shanghai. At that
time over 10000 unarmed civilians,
men, women and children, were
slaughtered by the japanese irupe-
rialists.
Foreign diplomatic representative
at Peiping, North China, on the basis
of secret information in their posses
sion, are predicting that Japan will
soon issue a new u,timatum to China.
These same representatives also de-
clare that the Japanese intend to oc-
cupy the five chief cities of China,
including Shanghai.
Large quantities of the arms and
munitions being sent by Japan for
use against the Chinese toiling
masses we're sold to the japanese by
the United States bosses, who are
thus supporting and aiding the jap
anese in their brutal massacres of
the Chinese people. The Wall Street
Government is also furnishing arms
to the Marking Government, not for
use against the Japanese invaders
but against the revolutionary worker
peasant masses of South and Central
China.

The attack of the city administra-

took place in many forms, such as
terrorization of supporters, closing

pretext of arresting Charles Bron-

to Jail for "vagrancy".
The policy of mass protest of the

LEWIS PRAISES

John l.. Lewis, international presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
has issued statement on Labor Day
He says:
81 congratulate the members of
IabOr's ranks upon their GOODNESS
and their adherence to the aims,
the purposes and the principles of
the labor movement which they
have exercised throughout the past
year. We marvel sometimes at the
splendid degree of self-restraint
that has characterized the life of
the workers during the past hectic
year.
"Those who adhere so Loyalty to
the fundamental principles of the
organized labor movement have re-
fused to listen to the false preach
ings Of demagogues and dangerous
prophets. They have turned deaf
ear to those who would either de-
stroy or turn our great organiza-
ton from its true purpose and
make It a means for their own per-
sOnal profit and advantage"
For brazen hypocrisy this is the
limit. 1t comes from a union leader

Efforts To Improve
Wortis points out that the or
ganizational form of the N. T. w.
I. U. has an interesting history. In
the beginning, it was too much mod
eled on the old trade union pattern,
which threw the members in the
background, left too much to the
leaders.
In the last convention an attempt
was made to remedy this by heavy
emphasis on sshop delegates. But
the shop delegates were thrown to-
gether into an unwidely council that
could not properly discuss trade
matters.
The plenum of the General Execu-
tive Board in 1881 remedied this,
again, to some extent, by establishing
trade Bartments, with shop del
egate councils. in each.
Not Perfect Yet
This was real improvement, says
Wortis. But STILL there are weak
nessss. The problems come up from
below, to the departmental shop dell
egates councils, but they do not go
back to all the shops for complete
discussion, so that the delegates can
represent the considered opinion Of
those who elect them.
The block committees are still too
much agitational bodies instead Of
active organizing centers.
There are many meetings, but not
the small, intimate business like
meetings that takes up the daily
problems of the workers in each
trade. and solve them, and in which
every rank and file worker fully
participates.
All this can be remedied at the
convention, if it is discussed and
methods worked out by the workers
now, and their convention delegates
properly instructed.

Spanish G. P. MobiIizeses Masses
MADRID-Since the defeat of the
monarchist putsch by the working
masses of Seville under communist
leadership, the Communist Party of
Spain has been holding a whirlwind
campaign of meetings and demonst-
rations throughout the country

lowing demands which were enthu-
siastically taken up by the workers:
l. The execution of General Sany-
tryo;
2. The dissolution of the Civil
Guard;
8. The arming of the proletariat;
4. A general and unconditional am
nesty for all proletarian political pri-
soner.
This great demonstration was pro-
hibited by the government, but took
place in defiance of the police.
The demonstration was attended by
great masses of workers who fierce1y
repulsed the efforts Of the police to
dispense it with batons. A number
OF workers were arrested.
