CHI. WORKERS TO
SEND 5 TO USSR

CFIICAGO-The Friends of the
Soviet Union, Chicago District, is
conducting an intensive campaign
for funds to send five worker dele
gates to the Soviet Union. These
workers do not have to be members
of the organization They are elected
on the basis of activity in the labor
movement.
Every year, for May / and Nov. Z
the Friends of the Soviet Union
sends a delegation of American work
ers to greet the workers of the Soy
let Union and bring back their mes
sage to lis. Candidates are now
being elected. In this way an ever
growing circle of Friends of the Sow
let Union is being created, since
hardly a worker who goes to Russia
today but comes back full of en-
thusiasm not only for what has been
accomplished there, but for greater
intensity in the class struggle here.
Delegates are being campaigned for
from the following sections: One
worker from Southern Illinois mine
fields, one steel worker from Calu-
met section, one from Milwaukee and
two workers from Chicago from

for relief In Harlem, which is mainly for the
Negro population, out of the $iSo0o0 900 collected
in the City OF New York. only 100000 was al
lotted to Harlem. The situation OF the Negroes
is desperate not only in that relief is not being
given them, but in the starvation and the high
rents that they have TO pay For instance whites
pay for the same accommodations in New York
$6.67, whereas Negroes pay $3.50. This is the
manner in which the most exploited sections OF
the working class are being Sustained" in the

G. f. .. Cole, the noted British economist,
states that the slump may be mortal wound

certain conditions are met. conditions that are
impossible under capitalism.

PHILA. TO HOLD
COMMUNE MEET
Meeting on March Is
at Ukrainian Hall

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.--The Inter
national Labor Defense will hold a
huge mass meeting on the anniver-
sary OF the Paris Commune on Fri
day, March Is, at 8 pm. at the Ukrai-
MAN Hall, $40 N. Franklin Street.
Like the thousands of the heroic
workers of Paris, who were nassacred
by the French bosses when they
fought against the starvation system,
the American workers today are be-
ing slaughtered by the police and
gunner of the boss class when they
demand relief or strike for better
conditions. The Paris Commune
Vom1nemoration should serve as an
inspiration to the workers to fight
ruthlessly against the terror drive Of
the ruling class. The nassacres in
Detroit, Chicago, Kentucky and the
frame-ups Of Mooney, Scottsboro boys
and Willie Brown must be answered
with . mass defense movement on
the part Of the workers.
The International Labor Defense
calls upon the Philadelphia workers
to demonstrate on the anniversary of
the Paris Commune against the ter
ror and lynch rule of the bosses.
j. Louis Engdahl, National Secret
airy of the LID, will be the main
speaker. The program will include
the Russian Chorus, the Chinese
Dramatic Group, and other features.

War Shuts Textile
Mills In Shanghai
Owned by Japanese
By LABOR RESEARCH ASSN.

The effect on textiles of the war
in China is seen in the fact that
Japanese-owned mills in Shanghai
are not operating and only a few
Chinese mills are open and these are
operating part time. Yarn production
in the Shanghai district is reported
at about 10 per cent of operating
capacity. II a boycott we're adopted
against Japan, by the United States,
some 100000 workers in silk and al
lied industries here might be affected
by closing of mills chiefly in Penn
sylyania, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The
boycott, working in the other direc-
ton against export of cotton from
the United States, would cause even
more widespread unemployment than
at present among cotton mill workers
of Japan and China.
Japanese cotton mills have been
making frantic efforts to reduce cost
of production by wage cuts, and are
boaSting of the progress they have
made in the last few years in steadily
raising the number of spindles per
workers from about q in 1926 to
over so now. During the same period
of intense naturalization, the number
Of yards turned out per weaver has
more than doubled. Competition with
British textiles in the Indian and
other oriental markets has been the
cause for this increased speed-up and
exploitation of the workers.

by an overwhelming vote, indicating clearly that
when the capitalists are compelled to provide
relief and at the same time advance taxes for
this provision, they will make every concession to
the taxpayers, namely the rich but will grant
absolutely nothing to the workers. After this

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-Ten thou

new PRESSURE
ON JAPANESE
Aimed at Protecting
Own Loot in South
China

AS a result of pressure by
the United States and British
imperialists who see their loot
in South China threatened by
the Japanese, the Japanese are
reported to be preparing to
withdraw from the Shanghai
area.
The presence of the japanese
forces in South China created
situation which several times threat
ened to develop into open conflict be.
tween the japanese and the other
inperialistS over the division Of the
spoils in the planned partition OF
China. While supporting the Jap
anese butchery of the Chinese masses
the United States and England both
gave Japan to understand that
Shanghai was not Manchuria." They
made it quite clear that while they
support Japan's conversion of Man
churia into a military base against
the Soviet Union, they would oppose
the Japanese threat to their loot in
South China. They made this clear
not only by their protest notes to
the Japanese but by rushing warships
and troops to Shanghai. Further
demonstrating the sharpening an
tagonisms between the imperiaIists.
the United States has now categori-
cally refused to recognize the new
Japanese puppet state in Mancfluria.
Other considerations in the present
announced plan of the japanese to
withdraw their troops include the
chlria and against the Soviet border,
transport of these troops to Man
where the Japanese are carrying on
q steady mobilization and war pro-
vocation policy; and to free the Kuo-
mintang tools of imperialism from
the necessity of pretending a resist
ance to the Japanese, thus freeing
all of the Kuomintang troops for the
bloody suppression of the national
revolutionary struggle and for the at
tack, already begun, against the
growing Chinese Soviet districts.
The Kuomintang traitors are re-
portde to have agreed TO leave Man
churia out of tn consideration when
they meet in round table confer
ence" with the Japanese. The con-
ference is being arranged by the
United States and the League of Ma
lions, The Kuomintang has also
agreed that Chinese troops are TO be
kept out of the Shanghai area. which
the Japanese have marked off for
the creation of an international city,
to be under the direct control Of the
imperiadst brigands.
In his efforts to placate the fury
OF the Chinese masses over the be-
trayal of the heroic defenders OF
Shanghai, Chang Kai-shek is nov
peddling the lie that he sent Wang
Ching-yu's Ninth Army to reinforce
the defenders, but only the 47th Di-
vision of that army arrived at the
front. Moreover, he says, it's disci-
pine and morale were SO appalling
that he was forced to recall it.
