TF popularity of Benito Mussolini | among the people of Italy is at-| tested to by the precautions taken to| prevent them from killing the be- loved dictator. Even the cow that! supplies the duce with his milk is un-| der suspicion. Mussolini is suffer- ing from a stomach ailment which compels him to live on a milk diet.) So it is vital to his welfare that his| personal cow should be on the level. Lest the cow might be inclined to risk suicide by eating poisoned fodder in her desire to get the dictator out of the way, the bovine is kept under | constant watch, her guards being or-| dered to shoot should she attempt to| eat newspapers containing anti- fascist propaganda. * = TRUSTED fascist has the task of milking the cow, but even a trusted fascist needs watching, so an- other watcher watches the milker. After the cow is milked a whole flock | of detectives watch the process of| getting the milk bottled and the state| militia is called out to protect the lac- | teal fluid on its way to the duce’s} ice chest. Love greater than this no} people could have for a ruler, tho | frankly were it showered on us we} would feel like stealing away some- times to a\bomb factory where the} employes are in the habit of smoking while at work. a * * HEN Mussolini goes to the cham-| ber of deputies he is preceded by, and surrounded by enough armed for-, ces to wage a respectable war. The} happy populace is driven indoors by} bayonets and the statuary in the pub- lic building thru which the duce passes is searched for arms. The members of the chamber of deputies| are ordered to keep their hands | pointed to the ceiling while the duce} is, speaking. Newspaper correspon- dents, telegraphing. their papers from | Rome attribute the hands up procedure | to admiration of Benito. When they! get to Paris and get a couple of gins/ under the belt they tell the truth. ee ee) a can see from the foregoing that} Mussolini is quite safe in the arms of the masses. He has won their confidence. And why not? A man) who is willing to suffer all this tor-| ture for his country is worthy of esteem. During those hot days, when Benito rides thru the streets he re- fuses to open the windows of h automobile and the panes. in thos windows are made of bullet-proof glass. So are the windows in hi Chigi palace office. The poor fel- low’s job is almost as hazardous as that of a Chicago alcohol salesman. But to be so well beloved is compen- sation sufficient for the little incon- veniences he must suffer for his popularity. ee AADEREWSKI, well-known piano tigkler and former premier of Poland is reported to have praised Mussolini_highly after his return to the United States from a tour during which he visited Italy. The musician’s opinion about Italy is featured in an editorial in Hearst’s New York Amer- ican. Mussolini, we are told, has cleared Italy’s streets of beggars. Paderewski calls him the greatest statesman of the day and Hearst’s sheet agrees. Neither Hearst nor any other of his outstanding scribblers misses an opportunity to praise the executioner of the workingclass move- ment. Anti-Fascist workers whe purchase Hearst’s rags should protest publicly against the propaganda being consistently carried on by this notor- ious charlatan in favor of Mussolini. eee ate PREMIER Baldwin took off his coat and vest and rolled up his sleeves (Continued on Page Three) THINK OF THE SUSTAINING pie ad AT EVERY MEETING! |man at Pricedale, Pa., who recently | |Pricedale, for the alleged abduction st Die!” —Decree of Governor Alvin T. c, Sate of Massachusetts, THE VERDICT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS MURDERERS ommi SACCO s VANZETT | ‘Mine Policeman eet | Shooting Two Children!

There is one reply the masses of America can make: Boycott the products of Massachusetts industries!

The workers of the United States who ieee _ textiles | shoes and sea food that are® produced in Massachusetts must make of Massachusetts an economic desert.

Free the two innocent workers whose lives are to be taken to glut the bloodlust of a class which hates and fears the work- ingclass to whom Sacco and Vanzetti belong!

For days the press had announced that the Kaiser was to appear in person and ask for a) favorable vote upon the war credits. There was no question re-| garding the subserviency to the government of the capitalist | parties, but it was expected that the parliamentary representa- tives of the foremost socialist party of the world, the leading party of the second international would carry out in deeds the Drinetples | they had so long proclaimed. i Finally the news came from Berlin | Vote Would soon be taken—then pan that the war credits had been asked, |4¢monium would break loose.

I believe with the jury that | these men, Sacco and Vanzetti, were guilty and had a fair trial. | “Furthermore, I believe that there was no justifiable reason for giving them a new trial.” |. PUTS STAMP OF “FAKE”, ON HIS INVESTIGATION, This decision puts the stamp of “fake” on the so-called in- vestigation that Governor Fuller has been conducting behind a mask of “fairness” for the past few weeks. As word of the decision was flashed from the State House to police headquarters every available reserve in the city was rushed to stations at various public buildings. The governor was enroute to his home when the decision was made public. SACCO AND VANZETTI ASLEEP. The doomed prisoners, asleep in the death cells at Charles- town state prison were not notified of the decision. They will be told by Warden Hendry tomorrow that they must die. ® The governor divides the case into two parts, the first, their trial and appeals before Judge Thayer, those proceedings were attacked, and the jury trial which was attacked as not having sufficient evidence to convict. The inquiry was into the following questions: Was the jury trial fair? Were the Accused entitled to a new trial? Are they guilty or not guilty? Brushing aside all contrary testi- mony, Fuller said: “I have consulted | with every member of the jury now | alive, eleven in number. They con- | sidered the judge fair; that he gave | them no indication of his own opin- |ion of the case. Affidavits have been presented claiming that the \ jury was prejudiced.
