Wednesday, July 16, 1924 CORONADO SUIT WON BY MINERS CAINST DAVIS Court Finally Squashes $2,200,000 Case By MARTIN A. DILLMON “Federated Press Staff Correspondent) ST. LOUIS, July 15.—The Coronado Coal Co. goes down to final defeat in its suit against the United Mine Workers of America. The U. S. cir- cult court of appeals has, denied the apbeal of the coal.company and sus- tained District Judge Pollock, Fort Smith, Ark. who found in favor of the union in the coal company’s suit for damages aggregating $2,200,000. This was the suit in which Candi- date Davis of the Democrats helped the corporation. In the suit of the company sought to recover damages as a result of a miners’ strike in the Hartford valley fields, Ark., in 1914. It contended that the miners’ union had entered into a@ conspiracy to interfere with inter- state shipment of coal mined by non- union labor. The company further al- leged the union miners had caused disturbances to intimidate the strike- breakers. The case was tried several times, in one of which the plaintiff won a verdict for $700,000. Lost In Earlier Trials. The Miners’ union appealed the verdict and the circuit court of ap- peals sustained all rulings of the low- er court except a question of inter- est/ on the part of the United Mine Workers of America, the union hold- ing that the situation was a local affair in which it had merely a pass- ing interest. The suit then was taken to the supreme court, where the low- er courts were reversed and the case remanded for retrial. At a second trial Judge Pollock, October 28, 1923, held with the union that the coal company had not estab- lished jurisdiction under the Sherman law. He contended thatthe company failed to prove that the U. M. W. A. had enteréd a conspiracy to interfere ‘with interstate shipments. The court further held that the mining of coal is not interstate commerce, and the fact that the coal might be shipped later as interstate commerce did not alter the situation. The appellate court orders retrial of a similar case brought against the union miners by the Pennsylvania Mining Co. In that case the lower court found in favor of the coal com- pany and awarded $100,000 damages. That is set aside by the appellate de- gision, making a double yictory for the United Mine Workers, Bosses Threaten Damage Suit. The Bridge and Structural Iron Workers Union is threatened with a damage suit in case they proceed to strike for an increase in wages. Mem- bers of the union see in this threat another attempt of the employers to make use of the courts to keep down ‘wages. Street Car Men Make Demands. SEATTLE, July 15.—Union street car men have presented their wage seale proposal for 1925 to the Street Railway Department. The new pro- posals presented by BH. C. Fuller re- vise the wage scale, representing an increase of from 8 to 12 cents an hour over the present scale.

Foster and Benjamin Gitlow, Workers Party candidates for president and vice- president, is the filing of electors for the Communist candidates in as many states as possible. The Communist candidates are al- most certain to get on the ballot, either because of the strong senti- ment for the Workers Party candi- dates, or because of the easy require- mgnts, in at least twenty states. There is a good chance for the Com- munist ticket to run in 32 states. Many Necessary States. States where the Workers Party should get on the ballot if the peti- tions are circulated as vigorously as it is expected they will be, are: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, lowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. States where there is a fair chance of getting the Communist candidates on the ballot are: Alabama, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oregon, South Carolina, West Vir- ginia, and Wyoming. In Virginia and South Carolina the candidate is merely required to file notice of his candidacy. Twelve thou- sand signatures will be required in New York, 9,000 in California, and 6,000 in Pennsylvania. In Tennessee only 15 voters are necessary to sign the petitions for presidential electors.

Byrnes of the board of education thinks that the new school building program an- nounced to cost $16,000,000 will ac- comodate 12,000 more pupils than the present facilities by next fall and many more than that by fall 1925 when the full building program will be completed. More schools and better schools have been almost the greatest imme- diate need of the Chicago system and have been valiantly fought for by the Chicago Teachers Federation and teachers councils. For a time it looked as tho the reactionary and business board of education would shelve the urgent school building plans to put up a skyscraper in the loop for their own offices. Whether the teachers’ federation will succeed in making big corporation tax-dodgers pay up or whether the money for the new schools comes from poorer pock- ets remains to be seen.

Greater Than Teapot Scandal. Finzi and Rossi, particularly the former, are blamed for the failure of the Banco Italiano Disconto in which thousands of Italian workers lost their savings. Finzo grew fat on the spoils. He and Rossi handled the deals with Standard Oil of America, whereby that corporation got monopoly control of oil distribution in Italy. Finzi and} Rossi were the direct agents of Harry Sinclair’s oil producing company in securing for it a tremendously valu- able concession in the Sicily and Emi-| lia regions. Finzi, Rossi, Albino Volpi, chief po- litical agent of the Fascisti in Milan; General De Bono, former head of the} Fascist national militia (and secret} police; Lieutenant Mariotti, chief of the Fascist cheka; Brandimarte, Col- onel Magnaghi, Francesco Giunta, general secretary of the Fascist par- ty; Giovanni Marinelli, Amerigo Du- mini, head of the Fascisti in Florence; Bianci, Amleto Povoromo, Rossoni (ex-syndicalist of America), Filippo Filippelli, former editor of the Cor- riere Italiano, chief Fascist sheet, and Benito Mussolini, dictator of Italy for and leader of the Fascisti, these are the criminals who have been plunder- ing Italy and crushing the workers and all working class ;économic and political organizatio##%.

Mussolini barely saved his own position for the time being by re- nouncing his former Fascist friends, whom he said were “above suspicion.” When Senator Albertini, editor of Il Corriere della Sera, went to Switzer- land three of Albino Volpi’s secret agents followed him to report if the anti-Fascist senator held any confer- ences with foreigners of influence. One of Volpi'g Milan Fascist gang of thugs tried to kill Conte Sforza, ex- ambassador to Paris, who remained against the Fascisti. Killings Common. Albino Volpi himself killed the old socialist Inversetti in Milan, on the Foro Bonaparte, and when he was ac- quitted he sent a letter of thanks to Mussolini and one to Giunta. Volpi was one of the chief organizers of Fascist crimes. Lieutenant Mariotti, chief of the Fascist cheka, a criminal with an es- pecially bad past as robber and mur- derer, organized a Fascist band of thugs in Turin. One of their aims was to secure for the Fascist Dresda a beautiful young woman who was the sweetheart of a street car man named Prato. In the fight Prato succeeded in killing Dresda, and the Fascisti immediately cried for vengeance.

General Stringa of Milan organized @ strong campaign of protest against Volpi and his band of Fascisti crooks, labeling them a “dishonor to the na- tion” and demanding that the band dissolve, In answer the Via Porlezza, head- quarters of Volpi’s gang, sent a letter to General Srtinga to shut up or be killed, A letter was also sent from Rome warning the anti-Fascist that his opposition would not be tolerated. The dissident Fascist Forni, now a deputy, has had a Fascist opposition banded against him since early in the year. Francesco Giunta and Giovanni Marinelli sent a circular letter to all branches of the national militia about Forni. A “lawyer from Allessandria, who was presented to Forni and Sala, another dissident Fascist, was warned that he would “pass a bad quarter of an hour,” meaning that the Fascist band would not spare him from violence. Forni Beaten by Ben’s Order. Forni challenged the Fascisti, how- ever, and announced that he would go to Pavia to speak. Prefect Ricci of that town, Colonel Magnaghi of the Fascist militia and Commendatore Sechi met and decided not to allow Forni to speak. Amerigo Dumini appeared with 30 Fascisti to beat up Forni if he should try to speak in spite of warnings. Volpi and Dymini met Forni at the station with their band of vicious Fas- cisti. Only Forni’s physical force saved him from death at the hands of thugs, who gave him a terrific beat- ing. And this was done by order of Mussolini. Set for Murder. Forni began to investigate the af- fair, with these results: Prefect Ricci communicated with the Fascist party and gave to Rossi and Giunta all the names of those accused by Forni. Gi- unta, Rossi, Marinelli, Mussolini, etc., met on the same day, March 11, and decided to do away with Forni. That night they dispatched a car to Dumini and gave him an unconditional order. Rossi was overheard to remark to a member of the national Fascist mi- litia in the Via Arancio when they were speaking of Forni: “Let him go. Never mind him. He has only a short time to live.” The deputy’s house was looted and burned, but he himself was not at home and managed to escape death for the time being. More Revelations Coming. These are only a few of the. deeds of violence of the Fascist officials of Italy—ex-officials now—of whom Mus- solini thought so highly as long as he could suppress public protest against himself, but whom he threw over as Officials as soon as his own position was endangered. While the men are in jail now they are accorded special privileges and the charges against him are not being pressed in a hurry. Mussolini attempted to allow the men to escape after the murder of Matte- otti, but the opposition forced him to order their arrést.

BIG BUSINESS ADMITS SYSTEM IS UNBALANCED Forecaster Offers No Remedy to Workers (Special to the Daily Worker.) CLEVELAND, July 15.—A new bust- ness indicator, based upon the record of production of pig iron furnaces, to measure and forecast the rise and fall of the tides of trade with the pre- cision of the finest mechanical mech- anism, has been designed and is now being used by Colonel Leonard P, Ayres, vice president of the Cleveland Trust company. Its present indications show that business is still in the downward swing of the business cycle, but that recovery should begin late this fall and normal trade conditions be re- stored by July, 1925. The stock mar- ket is now in the midst of a “technical bull movement.” “There is nothing mysterious about the main causes of the present decline in general business,” a statement is- sued by the bank says. “It has come because the great shortage in building construction, railroad equipment, auto- mobiles and machinery for public util- ities that had accumulated during the war and post-war years, has largely been made up by the industrial activ- ity of 1922 and 1923. “Politics, the bonus, taxation, the weather and unsettled conditons abroad have had little to do with the current decline in business. “We have enormous and unbalanced industrial equipment.” Soviet Secretary In Poland Wounded By Unknown Shooter WARSAW, Poland, July 15—The secretary of the Soviet embassy, Koweckij, was wounded by a bullet shot at him. The bourgeois papers claim that the shooting was the “re- sult of a quarrel in the street.” No accurate details of the shooting are allowed to be given out by the Polish government. That the attempted assassination of Koweckij took place just a few days after the socialist traitor Daszynski had made an imperialistic speech in the Polish parliament, criticizing the government and the foreign minister, Zamojski, for taking too friendly an attitude toward Soviet Russia. Poland is overrun with counter-rev- olutionists, who would seize upon the least provocation to commit violence against any one representing the So- viets. In Warsaw alone there are,hun- dreds of Russian emigres, many of them students living under the pro- tection of the “angel wing” of the Po- lish bourgeois government. Minnesota Prof Goes ¢ Blindly Patriotic in Praise of Ku Kluxers By CARL COWL (Special to the DAILY WORKER) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 15.— There are professors and professors, but the 4th of July address of professor Dean Kelly of the University of Min- nesota takes the cake. The members of the Ku Klux Klan, he says, are 99 per cent honest. They believe that law can accomplish very little in advancing the true interests of this country; That what this coun- try needs is an organization, such as the Klan, to safeguard the interests of this country. The spirit of July 4th, is not the accomplishment of public measures by law but by public action. Here he read from the “Boston Gazette” of March 5, 1770, of how the consumers of New England organized and boycotted Maritime Merchants who handled English goods under tax, He showed how the New English took the law into their hands and did violence to those who supported the mother country, England. Then the publie opinion” was the revolutionary supreme act of violence and “organized war itself. He wound up by pointing to the necessity for an organization ex- pressing and executing the will of the public where law is insufficient to do 80.
