INSURGENTS BEAT
JAPANESE ARMY
Win New Battles in
Manchuria

The hopes of Japanese imperialism
Of s"pacifying' Manchuria by machine
guns suffered severe setback yes
terday when the national revolution
airy forces answered the new Japan
csc drive with vigorous counter-of-
fensive, inflicting heavy losses on the
invaders and again throwing them on
the defensive.
The insurgent forces attacked the
most important Japanese military
centers in North Manchuria, and sue
cessfully carried out a number of OPP
erations almost within sight OF the
important city of Hardin, harassing
the Japanese forces in Hulan, across
the Sungari River from Hardin.
Kill IL White Guards
An insurgent force also derailed a
train on the east line of the Chinese
Eastern Railway, which Is being OPP
Grated by the Japanese military over
the protests of the Soviet Union
which formerly operated the railway
Jointly with China. The insurgents
killed at least 10 of the Czarist White
Guard allies of the Japanese who are
being used as guards on the railway.
Sixteen carloads of kerosene and five
of benzine, the property Of the Soviet
Naptha Syndicate, were destroyed
during the fighting
The strength of the insurgent
movement in North Manchuria Is ad-
mitted by the decision of the puppet
Manchurian government to establish
a customs station at Fularki, on the
border Of the region now completely
controlled by the insurgents. The
move Is generally interpreted to in
dictate that the Japanese and their
Manchukuo puppets despair of re-
conquering the region for, at least, a
long time to come.
Attempt to Bride Militarists
The Japanese press admits that the
militancy of the Manchurian masses
together with the geographical and
climatic conditions, face the Japan
csc with almost insurmountable diff
ficulties in their drive to crush the
national revolutionary movement.
The Japanese are reported to be try
ing to effect a Solution" by attempt
ed bribery of those Chinese militar-
lists who are at present participating
in the national revolutionary move
ment under the pressure of the
masses.
u. s. Imperialism Provokes Attack
British and American agents are
continuing their efforts to egg on the
Japanese militarists to an early at
tack on the Soviet Union by stories
OF alleged Soviet support for the in
surgent general Hsu Ping-wen, whose
forces seized the Manchouli area and
are holding some 270 Japanese. The
Japanese military authorities have
been forced to admit that there Is
no basis for these anti-Soviet lies.

Relief In Milwaukee STYLE

A year and half ago Norman
Thomas slipped into town to make
speech. While there he so won the
affection of the rich and that Mr..
Mann, president of the Community
Chest took him to his heart and
drove him all the way home to New
York City In his big limousine. On
the way, Thomas must have whis-
pered some Of his famous Milwaukee
relief secrets to Mr.. Mann, because
the unemployed have been dubbed
and starved ever since by the Mount
Vernon Trust Cos police.
Mt. Vernon has bootlegger kings;
the Petrillo family serves drinks a
block from the police station, builds
roads with contract labor on extra
juicy contracts (sometimes they
build the same road over and over
a half dozen times a year,, votes

the Trust Company.

is strangely silent. 1t remains for the
victorious proletariat to abolish, once

In the United States.

In the United States.
The New Yok Times, October u,
1921 reports on the "lrage number OF
older men that are gainful workers
in the United States" on the basis
of the 1880 census figures. Among
those "gainfully occupied, Of course,
are included business men, profess
sional and other nom working class
elements.
The bulk Of those falling into this
category, however, are workers. The
census figures reveal that 583 per-
cent OF the male workers over 65
years OF age were employed in 1890;
that 80 percent-almost one third
Of those rs years old were employed;
that 1858 percent Of those from 60
to 81 were employed and that SO per-
cent of those from SIS to SO were en-
ployed.
Among the women, IL was found
that 266,000 or percent of those IS
old and over, were employed in 1890.
These figures reveal, Of course, the
large number Of workers who be-
cause Of insecurity are forced to la
Dor at an age when they should be
retired from their jobs with a pen
sion and security guaranteed.
There Is no federal old age pen
sion legislation.

inadequate, and the best of them
provide the worker with only negli-
gible protection.

WAR IN IRELAND

"a blow delivered against the power

b. the reballion in Ireland is hun

 A special election will be held in Seward Monday for the purpose of giving the voters the privilege of expressing their desire, whether to lease the hospital property to the Society, or not to do so. pr.
