Taylor Co., which tried. to run open shop with the aid of the scabs sent by the United Garment Work- ers’ “Union.” In spite of the rain in the morning, the strikers swarmed over the street, those without umbrellas getting soaked by heavy downpour but cheeful and determined, knowing that they would go dry again. The scabs thought that the rain would let them nnn sneak in peacefully-and without inter- ference. Nothing doing! They were st d left and right. AS WE SEE IT.

This is as many as they can get, in spite of the scabby United Garment “Union,” whose connection with the American Federation of Labor is be- ing used by the bosses to break the strike of the Amalgamated.

Neal, chief counsel for the defense of John Scopes, who goes on trial here Friday for violating the Tennessee an- ti-evolution law, has first hand knowl- edge of the attempts of the conserva- tive southern politicians and business men to stamp out. the teaching of the truths of science in the public school system. Neal was dismissed from. his posi- tion as professor in the Uniyer Tennessee for sympathizing with Prof. J. W.

NEW YORK EDITION Price 3 Cents HALTS ANGLO-RUSS BREAK UNITED STATES TELLS BRITAIN IT WILL LET CHINA WAIT: BOTH Caution is the supreme note in imperialist diplomacy these days as rival powers jockey for advantageous positions in the great world war now looming over the horizon. The United States, announcing in Washington Wednesday that it was “going ahead” with plans for a conference of powers on the abolition of extra-territoriality in China, on the next morn- ing, yesterday, announces in London that it is in no hurry what- ever and that it is quite proper for Britain and Japan, being in- terested in China, to object, that America is not losing sleep shed- ding tears over. the injustices being done the Chinese people and has no suspicions about British secret conferences with Japan. Britain, for her part, states that she has not the slightest objection to giving up her extra-territorial privileges in China, but that the Chinese themselves insist upon British courts trying them, and British troops remain in China only to shoot those who may wish to be shot. The crisis between the two imperialist powers has added a sobering effect to the British conservatives wish to make war on the Soviet Union. But deeper than all is the whirlwind of fury rising in the ranks of British labor unions against the very men- tion of breaking. off relations with Soviet Russia.
