i JSAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUN NE 21, 1930 Page Five FIGHT OVER CUSTOMS More Eneyor REFLECTS U.S.-BRITISH - CONFLICTS IN CHINA Putman Wheale Seize Yen Hsi-sha ‘anking’s Demand’ to 2 The seizure of the Tientsin cus- toms by Yen Hsi-shan, through his British “agent,” Lennox Simpson (alias Putman Wheale), precipitates much diplomatic activity on the part of the Nanking government, The central political council at Nanking, the willing tool of Amer- ican imperialism, issued a declara- tion Wednesday denouncing Yen’s action and instructed the foreign minister, C, T. Wang, to ask the British minister in China, Sir Miles ! Lampson, to punish Simpson for “accepting” the post of commis- sioner of customs at Tientsin from Ygn Hsi-shan. f course, the efkns and their American are not unaware of the fact that Simpson wouldn’t have made such an important move as he did with- out tHe “knowledge” (a stronger word here would be more accurate) of the British government. Under the circumstances, the demand to punish Simpson amounts to a dip- lomatic slap on the face of British imperialism. People who are unclear as to the nature of imperialist contradictions in China may think that since the British have a share in the control of the Chinese customs anyhow, there is no ground to say that Brit- Labor Traitors Laud GENEVA, June 20—The so- ealled International Labor ence in Geneva, which is a confe: ence of bosses and labor traitors, lauded the Mexican Labor Code in} its plenary session Wednesday. The Nanking _ politi- code is notorious for its fascist pro-| visions. It is fitting and proper that the conference of bosses and} labor fakers should hail it as “a ombing Chinese Workers With U. S.

RAINGOATMEN F BOSTON REBEL BOSTON, Mass., June 20.—A con- ference of representatives of the yank and file in the Sheepskin and Raincoat Makers Union here defied the Gingold machine, refused to let Gingold speak, and elected a com- mittee of seven to call a mass meet- ing to which will be invited as a speaker, Ben Gold, national secre- tary of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union. The prevailing sentiment at the rank and filers’ conference was for calling on all workers in the union to join the N.T.W.LU, Lieutenants of the machine who got themselves into the meeting and threatened the workers that if they ipined the industrial union and call- id any strikes, the clique would sup- ly scabs and make even worse con- itions than the present for them, only infuriated them. The Boston sheepskin and rain- coat workers have lately begun to revolt against the deplorable condi- tions, They are earning 50 to 60 per cent less than last year. Work- ers have been thrown out of jobs. The clique in ‘control of the inter- national union as usual resisted every attempt of the workers to im. prove conditions, and demanded cate- gorically that they accept reductions. On top of all this, the interna- tional officers tried to arrange a fake stoppage as that in the cloak and dress trades. Last week Gin- gold came to Boston and attempted a conference with the employers. He failed, but the members, when they and these negotiations going on, ¢ about which they had been told noth- ing, proceeded to take action. The conference yesterday in Avery | hotel was one result. { The international gang was freightened and sent Gingold and Kessler to break up the sessions. Fineberg, Gingold, Kramer, and a score of gangsters sat in the hotel lobby, while Bennie Colkin, manager of the Boston raincoat makers went into the conference and pleaded with the workers to invite Gingold to the meeting. The declaration of B. Goodman, chairman of the meeting and execu- tive member of the local, that if Gingold could go to the bosses to build a union for them, the raincoat makers could«get along without Gin- gold and handle their own affairs met with tremendous applause. In three hours of discussion the rank and file members thoroughly unmasked the activities of the ruling clique for the last several years. It was Kessler, vice chairman of local 20 who made the threat to sup- ply scabs. Colkin threatened the meeting would be broken up, Nothing intimidated the members. The committee of seven is composed of: Wexler, Goodman,.Cohen, Levitt, Cover, Kaminetsky and Gordon. The proposal of representatives of the clique that the meeting be called un- der the auspices of the international was voted down. It is understood that when Gold speaks, the clique, if it dares to face the membership, they can send representatives there. The meeting of the shop delegates of the Needle Trades Workers In- dustrial Union, which is developing a strong campaign to organize the unorganized, will he held Monday right after work, and will give much attention to the situation of the rain- coat makers and sheepskin workers, | izations, ty | state for India in MacDonald’s cab- Admits Naval Treaty Means Arms Race | |forms of government take place, ac- ‘eed around with restrictions as it} lis. inspector was injured at Lyallpur) |to Party memb Every Party) (4ccted member must turn in what he has| collected and keep his list to collect!
