The faselst party has the power to release whom it pleases, and only fascists jailed for murder and other crimes will be freed, It Is expected. The entire country is focusing its attention on Palermo, where the municipal elections are expected to show how many votes the fascist viol ence can secure. The vatican has issued a statement im the official catholic paper, Osser vatore Romano, denouncing fascis violence against catholics. As long as the murders were directed agains Communists, the pope had no objec- tion, but now that the priest Don Minzoni of Argenta, near Ferrara, has been slain by the fascists, and many other attacks on catholics have oc- cured, the pope “expresses surprise at the sudden anti-christian ‘move” of Mussolini. The catholic editorial blames the speeches of Farinacci, secretary of the fascist party who openly advo- cates violence, and of Mussolini, who in a recent speech advocated murder, “on moral grounds,” for the attack on the catholics.

As further evidence of the diabolical convictions held by Manrique, the lawyer informed the secretary of the interior that when Lenin died, the official paper issued by the governor was in mourning, the national flag was at half mast and in the governor’s palace mouring rites were observed. And as additional proof that the governor did not change his mind, he stated that on the anniversary of Lenin's death, the off- cial paper of the state again appeared in mourning and reminded. \the people of the death of the great leader of the workers and peasants of all lands. see ATE Richards O'Hare, once prom- inent in the socialist party, but always a free lancer is now on the payroll of the National Garment Man- ufacturers’ Association and also in the employ of the United Garment Workers’ Union.

The Rif- fians have set up strong fortifications East of Fez and have surrounded the city of El Araish. According to the French communt- que the “situation is growing worse.” “The Soviet government is a menace to civilization, Money is sent to the United States by the Bolsheviks for propaganda purposes. Soviet Russia has an army of four and one-half mil- lion just waiting for a chance to at- tack the civilized countries.” The principal charges against Plot kin were that he tried to combat thes: lies.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.—Four members of the Young Workers League were arrested for distributing anti-C. M. T. C. circulars advertising the mass meeting at which Sam Mil- ler, a Young Worker who was expelled from Camp Meade for reading “The Young Worker,” was the principal speaker, Elizabeth Pearlman, aged 16; Sam Finkelstein, aged 20; Joseph Duga, aged 19, and Dave Engel, aged 20, all members of the newly organized Rosa Luxemberg branch of the Y. W. L., were arrested. The special Fairmount Park guards were greatly elated when they discov- ered a copy of “The A B C of Com- munism” on Comrade Engel. They were sure they had just averted an armed insurrection by arresting these Young Workers. Charges of distributing seditious lit- erature were immediately placed against them but later changed to breach of the peace. The Young Workers were finally re leased and at the hearing placed under $300 bail each for further hearing. Twenty Police at Meeting. The mass meeting was decorate¢ with twenty policemen who came to prevent the overthrow of the C. M. T. C. H. M. Wicks, representing the Workers Party; M. Yusem, represent- ing the Y. W. L., and S.

WORKER ~—— weer Italian Fascist Coming to United States as the Ally of the Boss Class By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL, cy ODAY, Italian fascism is making great preparations to send its foreign envoy to thé United States, to propagate the growth of fascism in this country. America’s workers must not mistake the meaning of this move. It is a thrust at their power in this country, ap- proved by the “strikebreaker” government at Washington. The immigration authorities at Ellis Island, New York, will not attempt to stop this bade of the Italian anti-labor terror, the Fascist Deputy, Bastianini, the secretary and head of fascist organizations abroad. He will be welcomed with open arms by the American open shoppers, They will greet as a valuable ally his propaganda of hate against militant workers, The United States deported Ludwig Martens, the repre- sentative in this country of the Soviet Republics. It refused admission to this country to Mrs. Michael Kalinin, wife of the president of the Union of Soviet Republics. Comrade Martens was merely seeking to develop trade between the United States and Soviet Russia, that would have given jobs to workers here and aided Russian reconstruction. Comrade Kalinin merely wanted to acquaint American workers with the conditions of Russian chlidren immediately following the revolution and to raise funds for their care. But that was “giving aid and comfort to the enemy republic of Russian workers and peasants,” the enemy of American capitalism. These were not permitted to cross the American threshold. * * e ° Capitalism breeds fascism. Fascism makes war on labor's interests. Fascism outlaws workers’ organizations; not only the Communist Party, but the trade unions and co-operatives as well. _ Fascism’s own army, in Italy even stronger than the regular army, which is also under the command of the fas- cist dictator, Mussolini, murders workers who dare resist its power. Thousands have been slain In Italy. Tens of thou- sands have been imprisoned. Tens of thousands exiled. Fascism has swept Italy with the torch, destroying with fire hundreds of workers’ buildings, chambers of labor. libraries, clubs, co-operatives and labor's newspaper offices, with their printing equipment. Fascism has done this thing in Italy. It has repeated it in Spain, Hungary, Greece and every other nation where it has come to power. Its mission is the same in the United States; to keep labor enslaved to the boss class. * * * * __. America throws open its doors to receive Bastianini, the international spokesman of this fascism, because American capitalism seeks every method for the suppression of the dis- contented American worker and farmer masses. _Bastianini comes to study the activity of the fascist or- ganizations in the United States; against which American workers have already waged many and brilliant battles. To be sure Bastianini comes under the camouflage of being a member of the Italian Parliamentary Mission, that will par- ticipate in the so-called annual Interparliamentary Union, that gathers in the nation’s capital, Washington, D. C., next month. But Bastianini’s purpose in coming here is known. It is the purpose of all other Italian fascists who come to these shores; to aid in the war against American labor. * * . ° 4 All workers must join in offering energetic resistance. They cannot remain silent as the fascist menace grows. If the bureaucracy of the American Federation of Labor re- fuses to act, then the membership must speak thru the local unions. American labor must hurl the challenge into the teeth of American capitalism, that Bastianini, the Italian fascist, comes here only as the ally of capitalism, as the enemy of the workers.

LOCALS DEFEAT SIGMAN MOTION Repudiate Action of Joint Board By TOM BELL, (Special to The Daily Worker) BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 9—Locals 56 and 39 of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union have taken a stand against the Sigman machine by rejecting the resolution passed by the Joint Board in support of the Sigman attack on Locals 2, 9, and 22 of New York. The resolution of the Joint Board was passed on July 30, the same eve- ning as the workers were listening to representatives of the Joint Committee of Action reporting on the New York situation. The resolution supporting Sigman and denouncing the left wing was passed by the macihne gang to offset the successful meeting organ- ized by the Joint Committee of Action. At Local 56 Vice President Zeidman of the International was present to see to it that the local accepted the Joint Board resolution favoring Sigman and his thugs. Zeidman spoke for an hour during which he bitterly attacked the left wing and the Communists as “union disrupters.” He pleaded. with the members to support the Joint Board in pledging support to Sigman in his attack on Locals 2, 9 and 22. When the vote was taken only 5 voted with Zeidman. Local 39 unanimously rejected the Joint Board resolution. These actions of Locals 56 and 39° answer the lies of the Forward which has, as usual, been lying avout the Joint Committee of Action meeting of July 30. In its desperate efforts to dis- credit the left wing the Forward de- clared that the chairman of the meet- ing was the “wife of a sick business- man.” The truth of the matter is that the chair was occupied vy Anna Gold- berg who is one of the founders of the Boston waistmakers’ local and is a member in good standing at tae pres- ent time. Her husband is a journey- man printcr and a member of Bos- ton Typographical Union. But facts mean nothing to the yellow Forward in its atempt to discredit the mili- tants in the union. The local fakers at the head of the I. L. G. W. U. have shown their con- tempt for the rank and file by appoint- ing as business agent a rank reaction- ary, Posen, who was defeated twice in its attempt to discredit the mili- Posen is a good tool of the Sigman gang they are anxious to get him in as business agent in spite of rank and file opposition. ms This action has brot protests from the membership. The executive com- mittee of Local 46 at its meeting Tues- day rejected the appointment of Posen and demanded that the position be filled by a referendum vote of the membership. The membership of the I. L. G. W. U. in Boston is beginning to stir against the reactionary Sigman ma- chine. They will respond to the strug- gle of the New York Joint Committee of Action to rid the union of the cor- rupt Sigman clique. This is also shown by the way in which the work- ers are donating their dollars for the support of the Joint Committee of Action.
