Later japanese sources said Shanghai

has no marines" and that the forces
landed at Shanghai were sailors. The
japanese embassy had no information

More of the information relayed by
Hooker follows:
japanese planes last night bombed
the North Station and railway line, and
destroyed the huge Commercial Press
Building, IN the Chapel district.
After the airplane preparations, the
Japanese started an advance through
Chapel soon after midnight
Near the railroad station they met
with heavy resistance and were driven

they dug in, erecting heavy wire.

WARNS OF NEW WORLD WAR.
Toxic Sees Grave Danger III Sanctions
Are Put In Effect.

TOXIC. January 80 (P).-A spokes-
man for the japanese war office SAID
tonight the League OF Nations Council
must bear a terrible responsibility if
through its action, situation between
China and Japan should develop
which would precipitate "a world con-
fiagration."
His statement was made in reference
to the invocation of articles 10 and Is
of the League covenant by w. w. Yen
Chinese spokesman at the League OF
Nations Council at Geneva.
There is no question of breaking
diplomats relations with China" said
the spokesman. "and Japan is not
thinking of war with her neighbor"
It would be an international calamity
he said. If the League should consider
seriously ChinaS objections to existing
treaties.
THAT would mean" said he. "a slur
upon these treaties, whose validity cam
not be disputed and concerning which
the League should not consider ISLANDERS
by one nation against another.
such a gesture by the League would
invite international anarchy. In short,
the League covenant itself might lose
its validity
Naturalization of two proposed
League investigations might end in ia
pans eventual withdrawal from the
League, it was pointed out by an au-
thoritative spokesman.

Second Commission Provided.

One inquiry into the Manchurian Sit
uation is to be made by commission
of the League Council and another COM
mission is provided for in Article XIV
of the League covenant, which the Chi
neSe have invoked.
Eventual retirement of Japan from
the League would be in line with a
resolution adopted by the Seiyukai
Government party shortly before Pre-
mier Inukai, head of that party, came
into Office. the spokesman revealed.
The government is giving cOnsidera-
ton to making request that the
League Council Commission be dis
solved. since the Chinese have invoked
Article XIV.
japanese officials consider one inves-
tigation sufficient, although a commits
sion under Article XIV would have more
power than the League Investigators,

FOREIGNERS ASK TROOPS.

SHANGHAI, January 80 (P).-The
Municipal Council was reliably reported
tonight to have appealed for Amer
lean and British troops to protect the
International Settlement
The Council handed United States
Consul General Cunningham, the senior
consul at Shanghai, a protest against
the activities of armed japanese forces
within the settlement, charging viola
ton of the neutrality of the area and
asking Mr.. Cunningham to bring the
charge before the consular body with
view to forwarding the complaint to
the respective governments concerned.
It also was said the Council had
appealed to the American and British
consuls for reinforcementS to be made
available without delay
Members of the Council said they
had come to the conclusion the set
tlement was in grave danger of at
tack by the Chinese because the Jap
aneSe are using it as a base of opera
tionS, unless many more American and
British troops are hurried to Shanghai
The nearest American forces are at
Tentsin and Manila. British troops
are at Hongkong.

An 4 Morker Corresnondentl

BOSTON, Mass. Behind the splen-
dor of a newly overhauled south rail-
road terminal in Boston, prevail a set
OF tyrannical working conditions
which scream out for correction.
Just as the railroad employees in gen.
eral have borne the cost of altering
the station in its entirety, Through
loss of income from unemployment
and part-time work., so have the
tyrants Of the Boston Terminal Com
pany decreed that the force Of station
Attendants, (or bag carrying porters), ,
should be labor's latest sacrifices in
beautifying the depot. Why we here
should place any more importance on
this particular group of men, than
those filling other jobs, is very easily
explained, since the porters are re-
quired to report to work daily while
on payroll amounting to exactly
nothing.
These porters at the South Station
receive no pay whatsoever, depending
entirely upon the tips Of travellers
for their daily stipend. They are
compelled to punch a time-clock on
arrival and again on leaving, and
must do the same at definitely ap-
pointed times of the day or night. In
addition TO this, they have had to
pay for all of their working apparel,
which consisted of summer suit,
Gacket and trousers, costing them
500 and a winter suit, Cmackinaw
coat and trousers, costing $35). Also
a change of cap each year at a cost
of SIPS. All the above had to be
purchased from the Boston Terminal
Company, who employ their own
tailors in the station to do this work.
The clothes are of very ordinary ma
terials and on the basis of current
retail costs Of wearing apparel, the
prices charged are prohibitiVe.

China TO which the native bour-
geoisie and foreign irnperia1ists could
now turn in their predicanert.
While admitting the 1eftward swing
Of the Chinese masses and the tre-
mendous power Of the Chinese Com
munist movement, Abend carefully
covers up the fact of the existence of
the powerful Chinese Soviet Republic,
which today represents the only stable
force in China and already controls
over one-sixth Of Inner China.
Abend carefully onits any mention
Of the growing strike movement in
the coast and other cities of China.
These strikes are increasingly taking
on the charatcer of political
struggle against the Kuomintang and
its irnperialist masters. They con-
tinue to grow in extent and political
significance with the smashing ad-
vance of the Chinese Red Army in
Central China.
The Chinese Red Army is now
besieging the city of Manchang, cap
itat of the Province of Kiangsi and
last remaining stronghold of the
Kuomintang In that province. The
Red Army is also closing in on the
important industrial city Of Hankow.
Two days ago, 10000 Marking troops
deserted to the Chinese Red Army. A
week ago, the Marking garrisons Of
three towns near Hankow went over
TO the Chinese Red Army
Shanghai Workers Strike
The city OF Shanghai Is one OF the
most important centers Of the re-
volutionary movement. The workers
of the Tai Shan Rubber Company,
the China Tin factory and China
Ruber Company. three Japanese con-
Germs are still on strike. The workers
Of the Tai Tung Book Company are
also out. The newspaper workers
union has issued manifesto sup
porting the strikes. The strength of
the revolutionary movement in Shan
ghai explains the recent brutal at
tacks within the past few days by
the Japanese on Chinese workers in
Shanghai.
The growth OF the revolutionary
movement in China also explains the
frantic haste with which the i'm
perialists are rushing their prepara-
tons for armed intervention against
the Soviet Union. 1t explains the
present moves of the imperlalists for
direct armed intervention against the
Chinese masses and their Chinese
Soviet Republic. The Kuomintang
party of native landlords bankers and
militarists and other tools Of the in1-
perialsts is no longer able to check
the mass upsurge throughout China.
The imperialists are therefore turn
ing to direct attacks.
The Japanese continue TO Sidetrack
the proposals Of the Soviet Union for
a non-aggresison pact. The Ru-
msnian, Polish and other puppet gov
ernments Of French Imperialism on
the Soviet western frontiers are also
pursuing the same tactics. This is
