Peking students have decided celebrate May 4, the anniversary of the "demonstration against traitors." The students yesterday drove round the city in motor-cars, distributing pamphlets calling on "our dear colleagues to celebrate May 1 in honour of the union of labour on which day our American brethren secured the eight hours working day and which is celebrated throughout the world. Our Chinese brethren are not yet aware of the significance of the day and we feel bound to inform them: We should all work and all eat.
"Those eating without labour such as officials, politicians, capitalists, missionaries, priests.' monks, beggars, robbers, immoral persons, ete., should be deprived of existence amongst us in order to avoid the harm they do us.
"We should therefore unite and take back the lands, farms, factories, machinery plants, and materials and place them at our disposal. In so doing we wonder who dare play the highhanded part of suppressing our efforts. Stand up. dear colleagues! Offer congratulations by cease ing work for the day! Give cheers for May 1.
"The police promptly replied to the query contained in the pamphets by arresting six students who. it is understood. will be charged with spreading Bolshevist doctrines.—Reuter.
