Sino-Russia- n By EDWARD W. PICKARD betweerr China and Soviet became Increasingly probable during the week, and China let the world know that If It did come, Russia alone should be blamed. Several weeks ago It was said In these columns that the basis of the Manchurian trouble was the Incurable Itch of the Russians to sovletlze the rest of the world, and this fact Is emphasized In Identical communications delivered by China's envoys to the governments of all nations signatory to the Kellogg pact. The note handed Secretary of State Stimson by Minister Wu makes the flat charge that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has been plotting to overthrow the Chlnesa government and says the latter has the documents to prove this accusation. Since 1027, the Chinese government declares, Russia has been conducting communistic propaganda in China, using the funds of the Chinese Eastern railway to finance these activities. These Involved, It is charged, not only the overthrow of the Chinese government but the destruction of Chinas political and economic system. These activities, it Is added, have progressed to a point where the safety of China Is endangered. China also charges Russia with sponsoring a policy of wholesale assassinations, one of the purposes of which was to bring about a world wide revolution. In the present crisis on the Manchurian frontier Russia, the Chinese say, has been making warlike threats involving not only firing Into but the operation of military airplanes over Chinese territory. China, says the communication, still hopes for peace. It adds that "should such acts of provocation on the part of the Soviet government result In unavoidable clashes arising out of Chinas determination to defend her own rights the responsibility for disturbing the peace of the world must entirely rest with the Soviet government. During the week there were repeated clashes between Chinese and Russian troops which In one or two instances amounted to real battles. Each side accused the other of Invasion, hut the dispatches Indicated that the Soviet forces were the more aggressive in making border raids. The Nanking government continued to hurry heavy reinforcements to the Manchurian frontier, and recent cablegrams from Tokyo said Russian troops had almobilization and ready completed were soou to march on Harbin, the Manchurian railroad center. It was asserted this advance was to be a punitive expedition" and that the Soviet government was determined to force China to comply with Its demands regarding the Chinese Eastern railway but would make no formal declaration of war. Several trains on the Chinese Eastern were djnnmlted recently and Sot let agents were arrested charged with the crime. WAR REPUBLICAN members of the committee completed their draft of the revised tariff bill and made It public, and immediately was started the battle of words that Is certain to he continued with Increasing fury when the senate begins Consideration of the measure. Senator Reed Smoot, chairman of the committee, gave out figures as proof that the hill drawn up by his conferees represents a scaling down of duties from the house bill rates. The comparisons showed equivalent ad valorems for the senate committee till, the house bill and the present law. It was indicated the senate committee decreased rates in ten of the fifteen schedules from the duties of the house bill. In four schedules the revision was upward and in one there was no change. InThe revised bill represents creases from the present law In twelve schedule?, decreases in two and no change In one. The equivalent ad valorems were obtained by estimating revenues under the different measures and figuring wlmt the total duties by schedules would represent In percentages of total values of imports. It was estimated the customs revenue under ttie senate hill would amount to $005,408,100, as compared with $040,01 1,545 under the house hill and $510,512,036 under existing law. The figures showed a reduction In the agricultural schedule from the house hill, which was somewhat of a surprise. The equivalent ad valorem of rates of the agricultural schedule in the senate committee hill was listed as 32.00 per cent as compared with 34 00 per cent In the house bill and 22.80 per cent In the present luw. The senate reconvened on August 19 with only about thirty members present and decided to hold perfunctory sessions tw ice a week until September 4, when the tariff debate would begin. The leaders planned passage of the measuie about the middle of October. The house will reconvene September 23 and will murk time until the tariff hill Is passed und ready for conference. The Republican members of the senate finance committee approved a compromise provision for delaying two years the shift from a foreign to a domestic valuation basis, and settled several other administrative tariff controversies. Democrats of the committee made ready the numerous amendments to the hill which they will offer. the representatives of the WHILE nations at The Hague were still disputing over the division of German reparations, with small prospect of Immediate agreement, Dr. Gustav Stresenmnn, German foreign minister, Informed them that, whether or not the Young plan was ratified by September 1, Germany could pay, beginning on that date, only the reparations colled for by the scheme devised by Young and the other experts, namely, $487,900,000 a year.

As for the split of reparations, London dispatches indicated that Morgan and other American bankers might have a good deal to do with forcing a compromise.

It has a record In firsts" that Is magnificent, the list published by the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, containing nearly 50 premier events of national Importance, which have unquestionably, given this city its very It Is generally enviable reputation. known, of course, that Philadelphia was the first capital of the nation; that the first paper and carpet mills, were started here, and that the first convention ever held by manufacturers In this country was held In this city. It is also well known that the first law and medical schools were estab lished here and that the first grand These opera was produced here. and many other of the "firsts associated with the Illustrious history of Philadelphia are well known throughout the country, but we regret to say In connection with this mention of firsts that only x few trade unionists In this city seem to know that It was In their own historic city that this country's first trade unions were established. Historians Support Claim, For a labor Journal published In Philadelphia to make such a claim as that will appear very natural but inaccurate to trade unionists In some other old cities, but our claim is sustained by the most reliable historians of the labor movement In this country. Those who are inclined to scoff our claim should conand pooh-poosult the history written by John R. Commons and his associates, who are regarded by the International Labor News service, published at Washington, as the leading authorities on the The title o f their book Is subject. The History of Labor In the United States. and In It they make this very significant assertion; We place the beginning of the American labor movement in the year 1827 at Philadelphia. In that year and place American wage earners for the first time joined together ns a class, regardless of trade lines. In a contest with employers. The contest referred to In the above paragraph was a strike of build r lng trade workers for a day and other improvements in their working conditions, which strike, we are pleased to note, was successful. These Interesting historic facts regarding the origin of the labor movement in the United Stales were broadcast throughout the nation by the I. L. N. S. and published In hundreds of labor newspapers. Workers Lifted From Slavery. No nobler movement for the uplift of humanity and for bettering the living conditions of working people was ever inaugurated than was the move ment first started in Philadelphia In 1S27. Prior to that jear workers were treated like slaves. They were prevented by law from Organizing and forming trade unions. They slaved 12, 14, 16 and 18 hours every day and often seven dajs a week. Their wages it makes one laugh thel wages were whatever pittance their bosses saw fit to dole out to them. Socially, they were despised. But now NOW a union working man can and does hold high his head. No longer is he socially ostrncized. He owns t(ie house he lives in, and probably also owns on automobile. He is financially able to dress his wife respectably and give his children a good education. He is free, Independent and prosperous NOW all due to trade unionism, a movement first started right here in Philadelphia in 1S27 (Editorial from tin Trades Union News).
