Saturday, August 30, 1924 MUSSOLINI WAS MURDER MASTER, STATES C. ROSSI Fascist Leader Squeals on Head Plotter (Special to The Dally Worker) ROME, August 29.—Cesare Rossi, prominent Fascist leader, who is being held in jail for his art in the murder of the ocialist deputy Giacomo Mat- teotti, has in the preliminary hearing, which precedes his trial, accused Mussolini of be- ing the instigator and the per- sonal director of the crime, ac- cording to stories published in almost every newspaper in the country. The report, which is being herald- ed the length and breadth of Italy, has again thrown the working masses into turmoil. It is expected that this confession to help the opposition frus- trate the attempts of the Fascist-con- trolled courts of Italy to put off the trial of the murderers until April, when public feeling will have calmed down. It is said that Rossi’s move has fol- lowed on his realization that Musso- lini is planning to keep him and his fellow-conspirators in jail in an at tempt to appease the indignation which the crime has aroused among the workers. Amerigo Dumini and Fillippo. Fil- lipelli, both of whom are in jail, ac- cused of complicity in the crime, are reported to be willing to present evi- dence definitely proving the assertions of Rossi. Both of these men held prominent places in the Fascist ranks. Fillipelli having been editor of Il Cor- riere Italiano, chef organ of the Mus- solini government. Dumini, whose long record of crime is an open book was connected with the Banco Discon to, which in three years has made millionaires of the half dozen officiale in control of the country. The verbal statements of Rossi are in accord with a letter written from prison a month ago, and published in’ the Il Soreno, an independent news- paper. CLEVELAND READERS, ATTENTION.

This is the same organization which raised over $100,000 for the defense of Foster, Ruthenberg and others in the Michigan criminal syn- dicalism cases. Baldwin Concurs This new responsibility was as- sumed at the suggestion of the local executive committee, approved by Roger N. Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union, and unanimously decided upon at a meet- ing of the national committee recently held in Chicago. The council will im- mediately take over the defense of a number of cases now pending, in- cluding some which involve threatened deportations. : “I can see no reason,” said Baldwin, “why those who are committed to the principle of free speech for every group and party should not be willing to participate in getting free speech for a particular party, without com- mitting themselves in any way what- ever to that party's propaganda,” BEG PARDON!

COAST “MOVIE” OPERATORS’ PLAN STRIKE SEPT, 1 All Labor Around The Theaters Involved (Special to The Daily Worker) PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 29.—A the- atrical strike is being forced upon the workers in the moving picture the- atres by the Portland and Seattle theatre managers. The present agree- ment between the union and the owners expires Sept. 1. Stage crafts, musicians, stage hands, motion picture operators, billers, and engineers are involved. Their new contract calls for changes . which would better working conditions, and in many cases raise wages and shorten hours. The’ owners want the old con- tract renewed for three years but with twenty reservations to their ad- vantage. Preparing tor Strike. The owners are listing scabs and preparing for a lock-out. The Orpheum vaudeville circuit is involved both in Portland and Seattle. Leadership among the owners rests with Jensen, of Jensen and Von Herberg. This firm controls not only the leading movie houses in Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Tacoma, and Spokane, Wash.; and Butte, Montana; -but also many smaller houses;"both in the five cities, and in many smaller towns in the Northwest. Will See Empty Houses. The result wilk undoubtedly be that labor trouble in one town on their circuit will soon spread to others, and may easily involve the entire North- west. Before this, in Seattle and in Butte the Jensen and Von Herberg theatre syndicate has been fought and beaten by the unions. y Workers in Portland and Seattle are preparing for the fight. They will get behind this strike and show the man- agers that they cannot put over their crooked deal. They will help the strikers picket and will stay away from the theatres until the strike is won. With empty houses and actorless and musicianless theatres the man- agers can look forward to doing a nice quiet business during the strike.

Attacks Communists. In making his plea for sup- port of the militarist. institu- tions of the country, Ross launched into a vicious attack upon the Workers Party and the Trade Union Educational League for opposing militarism. The colonel was followed by a number of delegates who made more reactionary’ speeches than he had done. Even Abraham Lefkowits of the Teachers’ Union found himself agreeing on\the floor with Ross so far as the latter’s attack on the Commun- ists was concerned, but he strongly disagreed on the question of militar- ism.

It proposed that state compensation be increased from $20 to $30 a week and that claim filing time be extended from one to two years.
