The Tass (ex-Rosta) Agency has just given out an account of the Assassination of Lino Chung-koi, and indulges in an attack on unspecified imperialists as the responsible agents. I have just heard nother account from a recent arrival from Canton which seems {2 me much nearer the truth, It in that Lise was shot by several striking workers as a reprisal for Lino's refusal to keep his promise cof support because they would not tie their union in Russian leading string This seems to have been Lino's special job as Commissar of Labour in Canton. He fomented strikes both in Hongkong and Canton, and ed the strikers in Hongkong to Canton with promises of financial help. When they arrived in Canton, and made their application for funds, they were told they had first to affiliate with the Third Internationale. Somq did, but a great many of the various union representatives refused so to den tionalize their organizations Lino's behest. But refhisal cost them the loss of bread and butter, the means for which Liao seemed to have at his disposal in plenty. So several of the more disgruntled among the workers retaliated by assinating the man who made fowl of them while making fish those of their comrades who were quite willing to sell t Moscow.
