SCHACTMAN WILL TALK IN CHICAGO China Topic of Labor Defender Editor CHICAGO, May 6.—China, the esething cauldron of the orient’ will come to Chicago on Friday, May 11, at 8:00 p. m. to Northwest Hall, cor- ner North and Western Avenues. It will come in the form of an illustrated lecture by Max Schactman, editor of the Labor Defender, official organ of International Labor Defense. The latest pictures of the struggle now going on in China will be thrown on the screen during the lecture and will give a graphic portrayal of the huge liberation movement of the 400,000,000 Chinese people which is shaking not only the whole Orient, but is stirring the structure of numerous imperialist powers in the west. Most of the pictures, of which there are more than 100, have never been shown or seen in this country, and were obtained by International Labor Defense by special arrangements for exclusive release in the United States. During the showing of these pictures Schachtman, who is well acquainted with the situation in China and its latest developments, will speak and explain the nature of the struggle now going on in that country. Especially interesting are the pic- tures showing the barbarously, vio- lent methods used by the Chinese re- actionaries ‘to suppress the revo- lutionary ‘workers’ and peasants’ movement. They give striking con- firmation to the figures which show that during the year 1927 alone, 52,- 101 Chinese workers and peasants were murdered, 37,570 were wounded and 46.175 were arrested and im- prisoned. ~ Milwaukee Tag Day MILWAUKEE, May 6—The Mil- waukee local of the National Com- mittee for the Relief of the Striking Miners is arranging a house-to-house eollection in the south side of the city on Sunday.
