HELPLESS CHINA

Dispatches from rival commanders in the field
seldom agree on what actually has taken place and
it is, consequently difficult to know at this distance
precisely what is going on on the battle fields about
Jehol.
But summary of the conflicting claims seems to
indicate the japanese drive is moving even faster
than the Japanese themselves had predicted, and
that Chinese opposition is not sufficient to stem
the march Of the mikados efficient, disciplined war
machine.
This, after all, hardly is surprising. Modern
warfare gives an enormous advantage to the army
which has the bulge in equipment and training:
and that the japanese army enjoys vast advan-
tage the Chinese in this respect is not to be
disputed.
1t becomes increasingly evident that unless the
powers of the world find some way of making their
influence felt, Japan is going to do just about as
she pleases in China China can't stop her.
Dispatches relate that an escaped prisoner was
recognized by his smile. Perhaps it was because
everything was so new to him, but he showed an
outstanding lack of caution in making himself SO
conspicuous.

1t doesn't take long for the popular
fictionists TO turn out up-to-the-
minute tales dealing with every new
fad of the time. The N. r. A. Is now
q fitting subject for the impossible
story magazines. The obvious, black

reflect the propaganda of the ruling

A current issue Of the Saturday

these stories. Entitled 'No Help

of several Negroes who are afraid
that the MIRA. will put them back

Audience OF 1900 Jeers
and Boos Nazt Professor
in Boston Liberal Hall
Prof's Coy Confessions About Germany and
Hitler Evoke Derisive Cheers from Listeners;
Chairman Loses His Liberal Temper
BY ROBERT GEssNER

attended last Sunday night the
first public lecture Of Hitler agent
to be given in America. The locale was
Boston, the delivery table of Ameri-
can independence; and the stage was
Ford Hall, the cradle of Free Speech,
Inc.
Herr Professor Frederick Schoene-
mann, who was bounced out Of Har-
ward during the war as a pro- German,
bounced back last Sunday night from
the University Of Berlin, as a pro-
Nazi, into the welcome arms of rabbis,
preachers and liberals. Free Speech,
Inc, was to be guaranteed.
Outside Ford Hall Forum, Ashbur-
ton Pl., Bowdoin st., ard the grounds
Of the State House, were damned with
5000 protesting demonstrators. Bea-
con Hill, the light Of Boston, shown
red that night. The Boston bluebloods
with admission tickets had to scrape
elbows with the proletariat. Cops
mounted and on foot, forcefully han
died the crowds.
ITO Hell with Hitlerl" Down with
the Cossacksl" they shouted.
Five Immediately Jailed
The Boston cops, guarantors Of Free
Speech, Ltd, promptly marched five
articulators down to the station
house at Milk and Water SITS.
Inside the hall articulation was CIV
en- similar welcome. Pompous
George Coleman, for Is years the di-
rector Of Free Speech, Ltd, was at
tempting to keep orators in their
seats. A sturdy worker in the right
balcony jumped up. "I am a seaman!'
he shouted. ''I have a right to be
heard!"
Director Coleman shouted back, in
the name Of Free Speech: shut UP
and sit down."
Protesting voices all over the hall
were ordered by the Champion OF
Free Speech, Inc, ITO shut up and
sit down"
A quartet Of moustached dainties
appeared to calm the heated breasts
of Bolsheviks with Merry Is the
Month of May" They concluded with
excerpts from Patience"
The Cops Appear
The audience had by now been re-
duced to putty in the hands of the
Champion. A dozen cops with side
arms prominent marched in and took
strategic positions. There were sc
more cops outside. THE professor has
courage to come here" concluded the
Champion, in his final admonition tc

labor and Steel +"
VIII Be Published
Here This Mon h

Labor and Steel" by Horace B.
Davis, the long-awaited book in the
Labor and Industry series prepared
under direction of the Labor Re-
search Association, will be released
this month, International Publishers
announce. Labor struggles, history
of unionization. the policy of divide
and rule" spying on labor and other
tactics in the steel employers Often
Sive against the workers, are among
the many features exhaIstiyely
treated in this new and important
volume.
One important weapon of the steel
bosses against the workers, Davis
writes, is the tactic Of divide and
rule" aimed at preventing unity of
the labor forces. BY such means, the
employers create and foster divisions
among workers, as, for example, be-
tween Negroes and whites; natives
and foreign born; or between differ
ent racial groups.
In 1928, Davis reports, one steel
mill executive in the Chicago dis
trict declared quite badly: THE ma
tionality reports are useful in times
of labor trouble and we try to keep
the different nationalities scattered"
I'VE have Negroes and MexicanS
in sort Of competition with each
other" Davis quotes an employment
manager in the same district as say
ing. And in the great steel strike
of 1919, Of which William z. Foster
was the leader, similar measures were
employed on an even wider scale.
The workers, however, have many
times overcome these and other arti-
fetal barriers set up by the bosses
and have successfully combined to
struggle for better conditions. Among
the important strikes in the indus
try which Davis describes in detail
are: Homestead Q992); American
Tin Plate Q90D; Carnegie (1901) ;
Ensley and Bessemer, Ala. (1902) !;
Iron Range Q90D; US. Steel 1902 !;
McKees Rock $1,000; Bethlehem
(1910); Iron miners Q91D; Brad
dock Q916); Iron Range (1e16); Biz
mingham (1e18 Bethlehem Q918) /;
Great Steel Strike (1919); Wheeling
Q92D; Newport, KY. (192l-22) /;
Mansfield 193D; Warren 1882. The
description of the 1919 struggle is
followed by detailed analysis listing
the five main reasons for failure in
that heroic struggle. This ought to
prove fruitful in determining steel
workers strategy and tactics in fu-
ture campaigns.
Davis likewise traces the history
Of unions in steel, from the organ
ization Of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
in 1875, through the Knights of La
Dor, the Sons of Vulcan, the I. w. W.,
right up to the most recent activities
of the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union. Thus, the rich ira
dition Of struggle and labor organiza-
ton among steel workers. much
neglected chapter in American his
tory as treated by bourgeois writer's
is again brought to light.
Labor and Steel, for the first time,
analyses the steel industry COM
pletely, and from the workers view
point. This popularity written book
ought to prove invaluable to steel
workers and others IN the labor
movement.
