add to cart   close window

On Sunday, March 20, the troops of the victorious Nationalist army were in the neighborhood of Shanghai, China having utterly defeated the Northern forces opposing them. The labor unions of Shanghai are well organized and powerful bodies, in spite of the suppressive attitude of both the foreign and the former Chinese authorities toward them. They are whole-heartedly in favor of the Nationalists. These organized workers, many of whom were acquainted with the use of arms, were determined to prevent wholesale looting and killing by the retreating Northern soldiers pending the arrival of the Nationalist forces in Shanghai.
