That the tariff treaty means virtual recognition of the Nanking government was admitted by the State Department yesterday. In the meantime the United States continues to maintain a large force of warships in Chinese waters. Formal recognition of the Nank- jing government is expected to occur Jin view of the policies which that |government has been pursuing. Its jattitude toward the Soviet Union |and the efforts which it is making to crush the struggles of radical | workers and peasants, have met with the approval of the State Depart- ment. The government has also showed itself markedly friendly to the United States. ; Power in East 50,000 HAMBURG: WORKERS LIKELY TO STRIKE TODAY Arbitration Award Is Rejected HAMBURG, Germany, Sept. 28.

Prisons ‘Deplorable,’ Grand Jury Admits PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28 (UP). The September grand jury, in its final presentment before Judge Raymond MacNeille, today declared conditions of two major county pris- ons were in a deplorable condition. Those which were condemned are the Moyamensing prison and the new county prison at Holmesburg, Ta. Charges were that the grand jury in its visit of Holmesburg had found the food not palatable and prison conditions deplorable, due, appa- rently, to the crowed conditions, Fruit was wormy, the bread a mass of dough, beef stew bad, and some of the prisoners were without underclothing, one charge stated. Lack of employment was also scored. The prisoners said they were afraid to complain in the Tre port. COMRADES!
