Deputies Attack Strikers. demonstration Friday night met by a crowd of deputies in ore than usual ugly mood. They clubbed the workers, choked the women and girl strikers, and kicked the children around. The demonstra- tion was brutally broken up, and the strikers went back to the tent col- ony. After nine o’clock the strikers’ guards ‘cleared the grounds, as is usual, and everything was perfectly quiet. “A little later, an automobile load- | ed with police, in charge of Police Chief Adlerholt drove right into the | tent colony, the officers dismounted and began to bully the guards. A} | couple of them seized one man and attempted to tear his rifle away from him. As though this was a signal, the other deputies and police started firing right into the tents. Women and children fled into the tents when the first struggle start- ed. The deputies charged among the tents, firing recklessly, and when the confusion was over, four of them were wounded. Striker First to Fall. “The striker, Harrison, was the first to fall, and when he dropped wounded by bullets in the arm and| leg, deputies held him to the ground! and he was carried away with the other wounded. “It is impossible to tell, because all the prisoners are held inco: unicado, whether* the deputies} were shot by other deputies in the} reckless firing, whether they were shot by agent provocateurs of the mill companies in the tent colony | or whether they were shot by strik-| ers in self defense.

There have, | been fresh outbreaks of strikes in| | the cotton mills in Bombay and in} | many of the provinces. , | During the year ended Dec. 31 last there were 203 strikes in Brit- ish India, involving 506,851 workers, against 129 strikes, involving 131,- 655 workers, in 1927, The number | of working days lost during 1928) was 31,647,404, as compared with| 2,019,970 in 1927, In Bengal there were 60 disputes, | involving 126,575 men, with the loss | of 3,940,457 working days. In Bom- bay there were 111 disputes, in- volving 318,531 men, with the loss of 24,629,715 working days. In Bihar and Orissa there were 8 disputes, involving 30,288 men, with the loss of 2,523,994 working days. dn Ma- dras there were 7 disputes involving | 19,778 men, with the loss of 291,- 284 working days. Nearly every leading industry, however, suffered from the prevail- ing discontent, and stoppages took place in the jute mills of Calcutta, the iron and steel works in Jamshed- pur and the railway work shops a‘ Lillooall and Lallaguda, in addition to the great strike in the Bombay textile industry. | The India workers have shown by | their demonstrations that they have as little love for the labor fakers MacDonald and Company as they had for the preceding tools of Brit- ish imperialism, Baldwin and Com- pany. The reactionary London press | is expressing satisfaction over the} activities of the new cabinet, which is working behind closed doors and which they claim will soon “take care” of the increase of “Bolshy” influence in India.

CHINA MASSES IN BIG STRIKE WAVE Denounce Raids on the USSR Consulates (Continued from Page One) the strike and revolutionary move- ments. These take the form of open demonstrations and strikes. Recent- ly the Kuomintang Reorganization Commission arrived at Changsintien and decided to take a register of the workers with the intention of dissolving the railwaymen’s union on the Peiping-Hankow — railway. Their aim was to create a yellow government union controlled solely by the Chiang Kai-shek traitors. This so aroused the workers that they demonstrated at the Changsin- tien branch office of the Commis- sion, and, according to the “China Illustrated.

Workers Demonstrate. Another large demonstration took place at Tientsin in front of the municipal buildings. The protesting workers included members of 53 unions who were prepared to fight for the redress of the grievances of the printers, “water coolies,” and artificial flower’ makers. several others, their demands in- cluded the release of two “water coolies” who had been arrested and who were falsely charged at the in- stigation of the artificial flower manufacturers. They also demanded} the re-opening of a card manufac- ture which had been closed by the employers. After the mayor of Tientsin had given a “promise” to “give careful consideration” to their demands, the workers paraded to where the yellow union leaders were closeted with of- ficials to express their determina- tion to obtain the release of the imprisoned workers. As usual, the motor-car corps were mobilized to intimidate the workers who later dispersed before their blood should once more run in the streets of Tientsin. Miners Strike. Simultaneously with reports of the increased activity of the work- ers of Peiping and Tientsin comes a report to the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat office that 7,000 miners have gone on strike at the Kailan Administrative Mines, For a long time the miners have suffered from low wages, irregular payments and horribly long hours. The British even attempt to worsen these unbearable conditions because of the increased number of unemployed miners who have ar- rived from the Lincheng coal mines. The demands are: increased wages, reduction of one hour per shift, e1 forcing of mining regulations, after six months, regardless of sickness, ete., service free coal for miners’ t*#home use, workers not entitled to free coal to be given privilege of purchasing at $2 for 10 baskets, and no compulsory work on recognized holidays. The Kailan Mines Administration (British) has offered demands 2, 3 and 4, but the miners refuse to com- promise, and have issued an appeal for aid from other workers. The All-China Federation is appealing for aid and solidarity. The Red Miners Federation has appealed to other miners employed by the Kailan Co. to strike and help win all the demands, and have asked the sea- men to refuse to carry: scab coal from the Kailan mines to Shanghai, where most of the coal is used. The Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat Eastern revolutionary trades} appeals to the workers to give every possifle assistance in this dispute. MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1929 FRAMEUP MURDER MILL STRIKERS Police Chief Shooting Up Tents Is Killed (Continued from Poae One) | the strikers. Aderholt led repeated bayonet charges of militia and depu- ties against the picket line during the first weeks of the strike, and bayonetted men, women and chil- dren. Gilbert has slugged and used his guns upon strikers with complete | recklessness for human life all | through the strike. | The strikers have been repeatedly | threatened by mill owners’ thugs and police ever since the tent colony | and new union headquarters build- ing was erected that it would be destroyed and the camp shot up. A masked mob, several weeks ago, at-| tacked the union and relief head- quarters at night and wrecked both of them, destroying food and chop- ping the union building into bits. Strikers were beaten and threatened with death, the police did nothing to prevent the outrage, no one was ar. rested, and a grand jury white- washed every one accused, Many Assaults. After the first assault on the tent colony, Friday, heavily reinforced squads of deputies and gunmen raided and destroyed again and again.

Mass terrorism against the strik- ing textile workers of the Loray | mill is now raging in this company- | |cwned town. More than 60 strik- | |ers have already been arrested, | while armed thugs deputized by the local authorities, agents of the |bosses, searched the surrounding jcountryside looking for Fred F. |Beal, National Textile Workers | Union organizer, until he was finally j arrested in Spartanburg, where he |had gone on organization work after |his return from Elizabethton.

This is viewed as an attempt te smash the strike by one huge blow, | McDonald, a striker with a wooden leg, could not walk fast enough to suit the deputies, and told them so. They answered that he would have to. Armed thugs with searchlights visited and searched the tent colony more than a dozen times during the night. No consideration was given to the privacy of the strikers, most of whom were asleep when the raid- ing party arrived. Among those arrested are Amy Shechter, manager of the Workers International Relief station here, and Caroline Drew, relief worker who has been active especially in organizing relief picnics, lovel re- lief committees and collecting of food from surrounding territories. The attempt to suppress the re- lief by arrest of W. I, R. workers is regarded here as the carrying ont of threats often made by the mill bosses against this workers’ organ- ization, and is part of the campaign to starve the strikers back to their slavery. The Gastonia Gazette is publish- ing the most outrageous lies about the attack on the workers. It is an attempt to provoke more violence against the strikers. A deliberate attempt is being made to stimulate lynch mobs to kill the imprisoned strikers. ‘ The striking workers who have not as yet been arrested express deep indignation over the aation of the police authorities.

As I stated before | sentence was imposed upon him on the 15th of April upon a similar charge, disorderly conduct, twenty dollars or five days, by Judge Rosen- bluth.

If I had the power I would have him sent out of the country. I think he is an anarchist. DEFENFANTS’ COUNSEL: He is an American citizen, 2 * 8 THE COURT: I think he is a menace to our institutions and our government. I think all these strik- ers, who use violence and employ violence and have no respect for the injunction issued by a supreme court judge, are a menace to this com- munity, I think they are under- mining and sapping the respect and regard for judges and our tribunals, They have no regard for law and order. They have no respect for judges, They have no respect for the mandate of a court. They don’t know what it all means. They are anarchists, they are Bolsheviks and Communists and a real menace to this country, and personally I think, in every case where possible, they should be deported. I think that un- less judges take drastic actions against these defendants after they have been convicted, the time will come when we will have a terrible civil war in this country between capital and labor, If these acts of violence are to be continued and per- mitted, and if the courts deal leni- ently with those who are found guilty of committing acts of vio- lence in strike situation, I say they will become so bold that eventually it will lead to a civil rebellion, * . ° As the strike of the cafeteria COUNSEL: 1} INDIGNANT OVER Distribute Leaflets to | Expose Muste ‘Union’ (Continued from Page One) impersonating a government offi- cer.
