SOVIET ORGANISATION.
RED XEADERS' ACT.IVITIE3. POLICE SUPERSEDED. SHANGHAI, March 25. The first Sovie/t flag was unfurled ( at Shanghai to-day at the railway [ station where efforts to run the ! railways under the new regime [ were controlled bj' a workmen's committee. At the railway workj shops all Chinese foremen were dis- | missed, an armed committee taking j their places. All the Labour Unions ! in the native cities are now under ; the control oi similar committees. | There is no sign, so far, that Pi- : chingsi will be able to cope with the Red leaders. The aciivities of . the Labour Unions are controlled by Communists. They have formed a so-called plain clothes army of three thousand, of whom nine hundred are well and the remainder partially armed. This organisation, recognised by Pichingshi, has taken over the duties of the former police who have been disarmed. Among them are many gunmen who figured prominently in the recent disorders.
