When Chester tried to get back he found the door locked and the key missing, Wright was the chief of Sam Gom- pers’ labor information and publicity bureau, which office he held for six years. A former socialist, and editor of the New York Call, he proved in- valuable to Gompers in his constant attacks on the radicals in the labor movement, The major part of the publicity sent out by Wright consisted of lies against Soviet Russia and the Communists. The brain waves of Gompers and Mat- thew Woll, the disappointed crown prince ‘were given the widest publicity by Wright. He was on intimate terms with the department of justice and exchanged infromation with William J. Burns, when that gentleman was chief of the investigation department of the department of justice. The reason given for Wright’s for- eed resignation is the necessity for reducing expenses in the publicity service. Wright is the first of Gom- pers’ personal staff to be given the gate. As a sort of apology for his loss of a very important office Wright is- sued a statement to the Washington correspondents, announcing that he had originally intended to quit his of- fice on April Ist but confessed that “circumstances” made an earlier de- parture necessary. He will continue to hold several of- fices he declared, including the editor- ship of International Labor News Service, a scandal sheet issued to bankrupt “labor” sheets. Lies of Chamber of Commerce on Power Exposed by Senator WASHINGTON, March 23.—In the closing hours of the special session of the senate, a spirited denunciation of the trick turned for the electric, power trust by the Smithsonian Insti- tution, in circulating a lying report on the financial condition of the publicly owned Ontario hydro-electric commis- sion enterprises, was delivered by Senator Norris. He pointed out the falsehoods with which this report bristled, showed that it is being sent broadcast by the U. S, chamber of commerce, and proved by the sworn testimony of the Niagara Falls cham- ber of commerce delegates before the senate finance committee that Ontario power is sold to factories at one-half the rate paid to American companies by American factories just south of the border. GET A SUB AND GIVE ONE! FOREIGN IMPERIALISTS..USE CHRISTIAN CHURCH AS TOOL TO ENSLAVE CHINESE WORKES By SINBAD PEKING, China, March 23.—Since the beginning of December 1924 there have been many rumors and signs of a fast growing anti-christian move- ment which centers in the various student bodies and groups of intellectual Chinese all over the country. It seems as if the Chinese are beginning to realize that the missionary’s purpose is not only to tell them of the glory of God and the pleasure of the other world but is also and mainly to break paths in the wilderness so that foreign imperialism can secure China in its bloody grasp. It is needless to say that in every case of imperialist domination said domination has been secured by first sending missionaries to preach the gospel, whether catholic or protestant.¢——_+—_________________— Against Foreign Imperialism. Only now are the newspapers be- ginning to consider the anti-christian movement as a serious and perhaps menacing problem. One of the local papers, North China Daily News, in its issue of January 7, 1925, prints an article (which savors a great deal of Rodney Gilbert) dealing with the menace and causes of the present an- ti-christian movement. The gist of the article is that the anti-christian move- ment is becoming very closely inter- linked with a growing anti-foreign movement, Reading the article we see that a student strike in Yale College in Changsha has “turned into bitter anti- christian movement and anti-foreign imperialism propaganda, handbiliw are sent to all the provinces and tele- grams to all christian schools. Some of the printed matter is a bitter at- tack on all christian education as im- perialistic and urges that all chris- tian schools ought to be closed.” The article goes on to find out the cause or causes of these sudden movements, and discovers what seems to it the three possible causes. Priests Defend Capitalism. They are as follows: 1, That the old mandarins are backing the movement. (This is ab- solutely ridiculous after reading the statements made by the participants in the movement. Such phrases are impossible to have been made by such a conservative group as the man- darins who are fast being entirely obliterated..) 2. “So-called imperialism.” (The author of the newspaper article looks at imperialism as if it were an eth- eral thing existing in the minds of a very small group.) He’ quotes a let- ter from a prominent, Chinese chris- tian advocating the earnest endeavor on the part of the missionaries “to prove to the people by their actions that christianity and the spreading of its ideals bas nothing to do with im- perialism and its expansion.” This in my opinion is suggesting something like tearing a limb from the body and expecting both, body and limb, to function as before the disconnection, 3. “Bolshevik poison” is at the bottom of it all. It puzzles me that, after seven years of continual verbal dysentery directed against the first workers’ and peasants’ republic, the newspapers are not exhausted and the source of the dysentery is seemingly endless. Claws of Forelgn Capital. The second reason which the naive writer calls “so-called imperialism” doubtless is the only..one of the three that may be or rather is the main cause of the movement.

JAIL GUBAN STUDENTS FOR PROTEST AGAINST AMERICAN IMPERIALISM HAVANA, Cuba, March 23.—Stu- dents of Havana University were severely beaten with clubs by po- lice here who endeavored to break up their demonstration against American imperialism. Five hundred students gathered in front of the presidential palace and demanded that a committee be allowed to see the president. They were protesting against fines of $200.00 each which were placed against three of thelr number for denouncing a parade organized by President Zay: Zayas, who is un- der the thumb of the American cap- italists who rule Cuba, organized the parade as an expression of loy- alty to the United States for its recent ratification of the Isle of Pines treaty. The students and many workers had hooted the paraders, and three of thelr number were arrested and fined. - When the students demanded the lifting of the fines, Zayas refused to see them.* The crowd of workers and students shouted “Down with American “imperialism,” and “Send Crowder away.” The police immediately attacked them, and several shots were fired. After a battle with the police, the students retreated to their medical school, where they ran up a ban- ner Inscribed, “Down with the cor rupt judge.” The government has charged the leaders among the students with “sedition.” no.

PATERSON. i “And the cauge of the war was, . . that one side broke their eggs at the large end, , + and the other side broke theirs at the small end.”— Gulliver’s Travels. There has been a great deal of dis- cussion among socialists up and down the country about the recent quarrel between George Bernard Shaw and the Soviet Republi¢ of Russia, via Zino- viev. This ts t6 be deplored in so far as it indicates @ still lingering belief in Shaw as the intellectual leader of socialism. Some people still persist in regarding him as a sort of social Napoleon who %s fo tell us when and how we are to acéomplish our emanci- pation, The cause of all the trouble seems to be that the Russian people have had a revoltition and have endeavored to infuse into it the philosophy of one, Karl Marx, instead of consulting G. B. S. on the matter. Now, to anyone who knows his Shaw, this is an unpardon- able offence. In fact, one could imag- ine George setting up in business, in his own modest way, with a signboard like this: GEORGE B. SHAW, Limitless, Consulting Engineer for Modern Revolutions. None Genuine, Without this Brand. Eyidently the Russian people should have written to Shaw stating their complaints, and he would have diag- nosed their case, sending them several tons of his “Revolutionists’ Hand- book,” with a new preface specially written for them. Then acting on his advice, they would not have planted that stout old oak, socialism, but in- stead, would have gone in for some of the carefully tended hothouse plants the desire to decisively stop the in- roads of foreign imperialism which if allowed to continue as in the past will in time have accomplished its aim in regard to China. Then, the present anti-christian movement can be accepted as a move which the student class of China had at last begun, to destroy: “The teeth and claws of foreign aggression, the christian church in China.” ‘Whether the movement will succeed and attain its object is a matter of time but it is the start. The ball has. been started and until it has been rolled into the sea the students and people of China should strive with all their force, with all the power they have at their command. They should strive until they drive the whole crew of foreign imperialists including the band of missionaries whose purpose, may I repeat, is to squeeze from China the best that she has, into the deep blue sea. The Business of Christianity. One year ago Robert Dollar, one of the foremost capitalists of China and of the Pacific coast on the American side in a speech delivered in Shanghai gave as the reason for the contribu- tion of money by the christian bust- ness men in China to the missions in China, that without the christian mis- sionary the christian business man would never have been able to secure any foothold in China. This from a representative of foreign imperialism in China should be enuf to dispel any doubts that may have arisen in the minds of some of the readers of these articles that perhaps I was wrong in making some of the abéve statements. Steel Trust Calls For Strangling of China by Foreigners PEKING, China, March 23.—Com- petition among American, British and French capitdlists for control of China is growing keener. The large Amer- ican corporations, with billions of dol- lars invested in China, are calling for stronger foreign intervention. Each nation is backing a different war lord, and thus further weakening China, The United States Steel Products company, and the Pressed Steel Car company, branches of the steel trust, the American Locomotive company, and the General American Car com- pany, are among the firms calling for y | intervention, while at the same time they endeavor to suppress the grow- ing sentimént here against any fore- ign intervention, Ckecho-Slovakia Workers Hit.

PACKING HOUSE PENSION SCHEME © IS TOTAL LOSS 400 Workers Taste Cap- italist Law After a two-year legal battle four hundred pensioners of Morris & Co, with more than 1,000 dependents, lost their fight to force the meat company to continue its pension fund, discontinued in 1923 when the firm was absorbed by the Armour interests. In 1909 Morris & Co. established a pension fund, directing that the employes who were to benefit were to contribute 3 per cent of their wages, hat Morris & Co. were to contribute $25,000 to the fund annually until a | total of $500,000 had been reached, and that an employe who had been in the service twenty years and who was 55 years old, was entitled to, a life pension with certain provisions for his widow and children after his death, Yesterday Judge Ryner held, that the pensioners, who had filed a bill for an accounting in which they asked that the company be forced to re- establish the fund, were in. court | ‘without equity.” Briefly, his opin- fon was that Morris & Co. was not bound by any implied or expressed covenant or contract to continue sup porting <t.
