NEW YORK, N. "a large picket
line of tenants striking for lower
rents in five houses on Longfellow
Ave. between 174th and l75th Sts.,
marched up and down in front of
apartments htat have the appearance
of a deserted village.
The houses formerly had $50 fam
lilies living in them. Only II now
remain and Of these have received
eviction notices. The landlord, in
order OF break the strike, has resorted
to mass evictions. On one occasion
so tenants received dispossess notices
at one time. But the landlord is
merely biting his nose to spite his
face. He has on his hands 1873 empty
apartments, and the striking tenants
are determined that not one apart
ment will be occupied again until the
landlord grants the demands of lower
rent.
Mass picketing and an open-air
demonstration is scheduled for today.
Neighbors from the section are called
to join both.

q. S. S. r. Forced to Strengthen
Border Garrisorss
The japanese concentration Il
troops on the Manchurian- -sovie.
and Korean-Soviet borders has forced
the Soviet Union to strengthen lis
garrisons along these frontiers. The
japanese are now using this fact to
excuse their violation of the Ports
mouth Treaty Of 1905 with the rypo-
critical argument that since the
Soviet Union was concentrating
troops on her borders, Japan was
entitled to do likewise" j." This latte.
argument Of the Japanese imperial
lists is in direct opposition to their
first explanation that the troop con-
centration was directed at revoIts on
the Manchurian border against the
puppet Manchufian government.
Tokyo Official Threat Soviet
Interests in Railway
The Tribune dispatch further re-
ports that Karakhan asked Mr.. Hi
rota for further explanation Of the
new independent Manchurlan state"
The dispatch reports Mr.. Hirota as
attempting TO establish a parallel
between JapanS seizure OF Manchu-
ria and the voluntary adoption Of the
Soviet system by the masses Of Outer
Monglia.
The Japanese Ambassador pre-
tended that because Outer Mongolia
has joined the Soviet system, Outer
Mongolia had become a part Of the
Soviet UniolL This is tantamount
to saying that Japan is a part of the
United States because the japanese
ruling class developed the capitalist
system (under a feudal-capitallst
regime following the bombardment OF
Japanese ports by United States
battleships commanded by Com
modore Perry.
Tokyo officials again threatened
Soviet interests in the Chinese East
ern Railway yesterday, declaring, ac-
cording to the Tribune dispatch.
that the only way for Russia to
protect her half-interest in the
Chinese Eastern Railway, which
crosses northern Manchuria, was to
enter into relations with the new
Manchurian state by de fcto recogni-
ton or to conquer northern Man
churia."

DETROIT, Mich, March 1S. -
John Schmies, Trade Union Unity
League secretary for the Michigan
District, was called to Judge Jefries
court yesterday in the case grow
ing out Of q demonstration inGrand
Circus Park November rs, 1881,
when Murphy and his police broke
the demonstration and beat up and
arrested many of the workers. ,
Schmies at that time was sent
enced to 80 days In jail. The case
was appealed and postponed on ac-
count Of Schmies' illness as the re-
suit of an automobile accident.
When he appeared In court he
was handed a subpoena to appear
at the Wayne County grand jury
which at present time is conducting
an investigation" of the killing of
four workers at the Ford Hunger
March.
He is called to testify before the
grand jury on Monday, March FL.
Mayor Murphy's police and the
sheriffs have been seeking to frame
up Schmies since Bloody Monday,
when Ford's gunmen killed 4 work
ers. They knew of his case before
Judge 'Jefries and waited for him
there when he appeared.
The workers of De roit are ready
to defend Schmies anil fight against
any attempt OF frame up. The
workers of Detroit are conducting
their own investigat pn OF the Kill
ling and they are arranging work
ers' mass trial which will be held

OF the concentration OF japanese
troops along the Soviet border"
The Japanese have offered the pre-
text that their tremendous troop
movements all along the Soviet bor-
der were directed at crushing revolts
against the japanese puppet govern
ment in Manchuria, headed by the
ex-emprer Henry Pu-yi. There is no
doubt that the Japanese aggressions
in Manchuria have created the base
for such revolts. The japanese, how
ever, are utilizing every pretext to
send troops to the Soviet borders.

representative of the rank and file
spoke and was well received. He
urged the miners to organize the
strike better, to elect rank and file
strike committees and to organize
relief committees. The aggressive
organization tactics of the Rank
and File Committees have forced
the Maloney- Shuster leadership on
the defensive, placing all response
bility for the seIl-out of the last
two Glen Alden strikes upon Tom
achek who got a Job but whom
Maloney and Shuster never exposed
or attacked before.
Maloney and Shuster are trying
to use radical phrases to regain
the confidence of the miners. The
rank and file is succeeding in de-
velOping independent leadership
and the miners are adopting its pro-
gram.
At meeting of over a thousand
miners in Olyphant consisting of
three locals, Eddie Creek, Mike
Slope and Grassy Island, the Rank
and File program was adopted and
the miners proceeded to elect a
rank and file strike committee of
twenty-five. or tonight the Rank

troopers against the strikers and

National Miners Union is nlobilizing

smash the meeting and put into
practice the slogans Drive the scab

To insure the conviction of all
strikers on trial in Bell County court,
Judge McDaw last Monday started
tn epractice of prayer meetings twice
daily in his court. At IL and 4.30 each
day preacher is called in to deliver
sermon to the audience of spec
tators, gun, thugs and jury. The
sermons" are directed against
strikers and the National Miners
Union, in an obvious effort to so
prejudice the jury so that conviction
is assured in advance.
Six miners, indicted on first degree
murder with Hightower and Jones
come up for trial March "a in the
