They were outlawed by a decree of the "South Korean Interim Government" in SEOUL. (4) PUSAN - Extract from PUSAN CIC Report #390, 27 September 47: "Positive information has been received by this office (CIC) that the DAE HAN NO CHUNG ('Great Korea Labor Union') is extorting money from innocent people. Their tactics are to enter a shop and request money in the name of their party. If they are refused, threats of violence are made and usually carried out. Also the term 'Communist' is applied to every reluctant shop owner. At present money is very short and shop owners have to close up their shops, and they will not open until the DAE HAN NO CHUNG leaves town." (Ref Par 3a(1) of G-2 Report #707, 25 September 47) b. Illegal Activity of a Subversive Nature.

(2) CHINYONG-NI (4132 - 1370) - Additional information on incident of 26 September 47 (Ref Par 3a(1) of G-2 Report #708, 26 September 47): The people marching to and from the meeting were the local "Kwang Bok Young Men's Association" members. A patrol to the area reported that the police give no cooperation to the military at all. When the officer in charge of the U. S. patrol asked to see the Chief of Police, he was told that the Chief of Police was out on a patrol, but the Chief of Police entered without a hat on and it was evident that he had not left the station. The officer asked the Chief if there had been crowds marching on 26 September 47 and the Chief stated that there had not been. The officer then told the Chief that the U. S. patrol had knowledge of the crowds in that city on 26 September 47. The Chief of Police then admitted that there had been such activities in CHINYONG-NI. The Rightist police naturally are sympathetic to Rightist demonstrations, and in this area are evidently "covering up" for the Rightists. b. Civil Disturbances by Province.
