Called General Labour Union, into existence by the series of. murders of loyal workers which preceded the arrival of the South- ern Army, this fear was kopt alive by the formation of the labour army. So thoroughly had this fear been instilled into the work- ing classes, that they allowed them selves to bo influenced by it oven after the ability of the General Labour Union to do them harm had gone.

Protest Striko Fails.

Consequently an appeal from that body in favour of a strike. as a protest against the anti- Communist coup was obeyed on April 13, the date the appeal was issued, by no less than 104,856 workers whose number increased to 111,808 on April 15. Finding that the strike lacked the driving. force furnished on previous occa- sions by intimidators and pickets, the strikers on the following day abandoned their fears and began to resume work. By April 16 the number out had been reduced to 63,500 and three days later to about 7,800.

Not- withstanding this disadvantagTM, they are continuing their activi ties, and towards the end of the month succeeded in putting into circulation handbills condemning Chang Tsoglia. Chiang Kai-shek and foreign imperialism.

Measures taken by the Chinese Authorities to counteract Com- munist propaganda during the month included, in addition to the disarming of the labour army, the arrest and execution of several extremists, the suppression of in- flammatory literature by arresting Individuals and closing up estab. lishments engaged in its dissemi nation, censorship over the press und the distribution of handbills pointing out the evils of the "Red" doctrine.
