Raids (Special to The Dally Worker) LOS ANGELES, June 27.—Harold Story, former organizer of the Social- ist party of Los Angeels, caused the arrest of Emanuel Levin, secretary of the Workers party, at a mass meeting here, when he demanded a resolution im behalf of the San Pedro I. W. W. victims, The meeting was held under the auspices of the Socialist party and an- archist leaders of California as an in- tended demonstration against the im- prisonment of Russian counter-revo- lutionists who tried to overthrow the workers’ and peasants’ government. But the audience would not stand for it. Workers’ party members, who had entered the hall, stampeded the meet- ing by offering of a resolution in he- half of the syndicalism prisoners from the waterfront of San Pedro. Story attempted to sidetrack the resolution and to have the meeting go on with attacks on the Soviet gov- ernment. Here the audience rebelled and demanded that the resolution be read. Story’s attempt to use the steam roller again was met with cries from every section of the hall that the meeting go on record against the vic- tims of American capitalism. Meanwhile Story had sent out for the Los Angeles police. The bulls en- tered as Levin was reading the reso- lution against the San Pedro perse- cutions. Story ordered his arrest and he was led out. Swarms of workers followed, de- mandjng to be arrested also. The crowd pressed around the police so closely that the officers let this per- son go. The great mass of the audience then marched to Workers’ party head- quarters where resolutions were Passed condemning those in charge of the protest meeting and a collec- tion was raised in behalf of the I. W. W. prisoners. Story’s gang, a handful, continued their meeting, under the guardianship of their friends, the police. BUT WHY DO WE HAVE TO EAT STORAGE EGGS? “The hen com from the egg and not the egg from the hen.” is is the answer of science’to the famous question debated thru the ages since Adam. It comes from Prof. Conrad E. Tharaldsen, of the zoology department of North- western university, who. shook his long classroom pointing stick at di- agrams today to prove his theory. “The hen carries new germ cells which produce other eggs and pre- sumably new hens, but all hark back to the original germ cell which we call the egg,” the professor ex- plained, Your Union Meeting FOURTH AND LAST SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1924.

Even now Mussolini is attempting to postpone and put the trial outside of Rome to escape the great feeling for real justice which is.so evident in the city. Denounces Communists to Distract. Mussolini continued in his senate address with a bitter denunciation of the opposition forces for their capi- talizing the Matteotti murder and the evidences of grafting by Fascist offi- cials for general strike and revolu- tionary calls. He let all the venom he would like to have used against all his opponents, break on the heads of the Communists, most of whose leaders he is still holding in jail. There is a slight possibility that an amnesty will be granted the “poli- tical” prisoners, workingmen and ra- dicals mostly, arrested during the great excitement of tne last two weeks. Mussolini is supposed to he considering the advisability of such a move as a political expedient to quell the public agitation of the proasent. Amnesty Political Move. The erstwhile dictator of Italy is pretending to be highly conciliatory just now. He spoke of granting the parliament its sovereignty again, say- ing he would “cause the institutions of parliament to function regularly and nobly as an organ of legislative power, restoring it to its capacity and its prestige,” which he, of course, as Fascist dictator has denied for| the last few years. The blackshirt leader, who is now trying. to divest himself of the odious shirt that sticks to him, also said that he would “regularize under the con- stitution the situation of the national militia,” which means that he will make the Fascist troops a part of the regular army. Then in true Mazzinian style, he of- fered to “repress the superimposed illegalisms in the organization of the Fascist party,” and concluded with a “call upon all the living forces of the nation to work for reconstruction.” Liberal Calls for Fascism’s End. Senator Albertini, a well-known and influential Liberal who visited Ameri- in the senate for a real government in Italy. “Give to Italy not a Fascist government, but an Italian govern- ment, one that really represents the people.” Sig. Albertini is editor of Corriere Della Sera, one of the most powerful non-Fascist papers in the country, The alleged “international adven- turer, Otto Chirzl,” whom reactionary. papers tried to brand as “Russian” has been identified as Ignatius Tre- bitsch-Lincoln, an international spy. He was employed by Amerigo Dumi- ni to work for the wascist official thugs, altho he has not so far been actually implicated in the killing of the Socialist deputy. Once Preached, Now Spies. This spy was an evangelical protest- ant minister in England, but the scan-| dals in his life drove him out of the pan-handling game and into a career of spying for Germany chiefly. Dur- ing the Kapp Putsch in Germany, in 1921, he was chief of the provisional government until it was defeated by the general strike of the workers. He now has been serving the Fas- cist Cheka, under Dumini, and was shadowing Matteotti, altho he took no part in kidnapping or murdering the Socialist deputy. He is held in prison with the ten Fascist officials who haye been implicated in the crime. Cal and Ben, Careful Grafters. ca not long ago, made a stirring plea & Mussolini, like Coolidge, has man- aged to Keep his own name out of the scandal which threatened to upset the government. Careful Cal in the United States didn’t let the least swish of gasoline even touch him publicly and removed whatever smell of the stuff was on him from private dealings. Mussolini's nearest friends and sup porters, Fascist officials of the depart- ment of the interior, have been in- volved in the biggest oil scandal the world has yet opened its blaze eyes at. And yet Mussolini has been able to keep his own, name above the stain of Sinclair ofl graft, altho circum! LINCOLN AVE.

The Socialists who were howling for drastic action by the government evidently have been somewhat taken in by the blackshirt’s bubbling prom- ises and are less vigorously denounc- ing Mussolini now. They have been fooled ‘into voicing their invective up- on the now “outcast” mombers of the Fascist government, following Mus- solini’s forced lead. This leaves the Communists alone demanding the re- signation of the chief cut-throat and crook of all, Mussolini himself. ee MUSSOLINI KNIFES FASCIST FRIENDS General Strike of __ Postal Workers May Take Place in Canada OTTAWA, Ont., June 27.—Repre- sentatives of western Canada. postal workers will appear here to talk with Postmaster General Stewart, which may mean a walkout of the entire Canadian Postal Workers’ union.

While the ranks of the bosses are splitting and numerous employers are entering into conferences with the union preliminary to surrender to the workers, the strikers by mass picket- ing at the unorganized shops are in- ducing hundreds of workers, not mem- bers of the union, to come out on strike. The mass picketing was carried on in the face of the original sluggers of the .bosses, aided and encouraged by the police. Many strikers were brutally slugged by both police and the gunmen of the manufacturers. Strikers Brutally Beaten. One striker, who was so brutally beaten up that the police had to take him to a hospital, was placed under arrest while there and was only saved from being transferred from the hosiptal to jail when the union put up sven thousand dollars bail. While waiting for the bail to be taken to the police station, several uniformed po. lice officers and plain clothesmen stood around his bed to watch that he did not escape. While the mass picketing brot hun- dreds of workers from the unorgan- ized shops the union was closely watching to see that work was not sent to out of town non-union shops, Many out of town non-union shops have also gone on strike, Warrior Dines With War-Maker.

ULTIMATUM GIVEN BY ANGRY ANTI-FASCISTS (Special to The DAILY WORKER) ROME, Italy, June 27.— For ten minutes today the city was almost as still as death while all the work- ers paused for thot to honor the slain Socialist deputy Giacomo Mat- teottl, for whose murder ten Fascleti high officials are being held In pri- son. The opposition group delivered an ultimatum, to Fasolsti and premier Mussolini, strongly implying that the blackshirt premier should re- sign, since so many of his closest associates are Involved in scandals and since Mussolini himself by word and act has encouraged deeds of vio- lence to keep Fascist power intact.
