The report, which arrived here from Limoges today, states that po- | lice reserves have been called out and put into action against the workers and that soldiers in the neighboring garrisons are being held in readiness for use in case the po- lice are unable to cope with the} situation. | The effort to liberate the jailed worker began shortly after his ar- rest on charges of handing out leaf- lets to shoe workers. A large crowd, chiefly workers from the shoe factories, is reported to have formed immediately and to have begun a march-on the jail. Arrived in front of the prison the men demanded that the prisoner be released. When this was refused them, they undertook to release him themselves, Frantic calls for aid from the prison authorities brought the po-| lice to the scene. They attempted to disperse the workers with their clubs, but this proving ineffective, reserves were rushed to the strug- | ble. They also failed to stop the | workers, who had already entered | the jail before they were overpow- | ered by the authorities. arrests were made but the workers | refused to leave the streets and | massed in the center of the city | where they continued to demonstrate | and demand the release of the im- prisoned worker. | A heavy guard has been placed around the prison. | PRAVDA SCORES NANKING PACT Exposes Manoevur of) U. S. Imperialism Continued from Page One clever move, Pravda in a leading article yesterday made the following statements on the move. “This separate treaty shows that American capital is ready to use the Nanking Government against Japan and England, as an agency for peaceful penetration in China. Such penetration, which will encroach on the English and Japanese spheres of influence, naturally involves the sharpening of the rivalry of the Im- perialists in China.” * * * London Won't Recognize. | LONDON, July’ 29.—The British! government is in no hurry to follow the tacit recognition of the Nanking regime implied in the treaty negotia-| tion between Nanking and the) United States, the British foreign office let it be known yesterday. | While demanding that all the! powers be included in any negotia- tion for tariff regulation with the Nanking government, the British admit that the American state de-| partment has done a_ shrewd maneuver in the present treaty. Big Bosses to Exploit: Labor in Small Towns) Small towns, with cheap labor and, low living standards, are coming rapidly into the affection of exe- cutives representing $32,000,000. These bosses met with the policy- holders service bureau of Metro- politan Life and the National Elec- trie Light Assn. to consider indus- trial trends. Martin J.

The trio of “peace” imperialists will sign the Kellogg pact in Paris on August 27. Each hopes that his govern- ment, under cover of the pact, will be able to arm faster than the others.

As the hospital became institutionalized, the miners found themselves left with one lone representative on the board of trustees. Run By Politician. Since then the hospital has been a sore spot with the miners. “We built it. The politicians have taken it away from us and run it,” they complain. Miners were given free treatment in the hospital for years. Even when their trouble was not.due to colliery accidents, the hospital policy was lenient and miners usually for- got their bills for treatment. Now the Hospital is to operate un-| der a new system. A miner is to be given 90 days to square his bill. If then the bill still remains unpaid, the trustees will be empowered by the new ruling to sell out the miner’s furniture through a collection agency, in order to get its money. “Boss Machine.” The workers are highly indignant over this change, to which no pub- licity has been given in the press.
