Against Progressive Action. Morrison seems to be worried by gressive position taken by many workers. In order to confuse the | issue he lumped the “unions” of fas-) cist Italy with the trade unions of the! | Soviet Union, claiming that they are | both “left movements.” “This movement,” he argued,” is} |not confined to our own country—it | is found in England, where the con- | servative government is attempting | |to smash the trade union movement. | It is found in Russia, where a group | of revolutionists rule. It is found in| Italy, where workers must join gov- | !ernment-controlled) unions, _ where} wages are set by law and where free | speech and assemblage is denied. It is found in Poland and Hungary and Roumania, where dictators rule. The) same policy is apparent in the Latin-! American countries below the Rio! Grande.” In this country, according to Mor- | rison’s method of reasoning, the movement towards, the left is shown} by company unionism, the labor in- junction, yelow slog conti! daiied ete, Hunted Work 2 Months | Then Killed Family of 7) YOUNGSTOWN, 0., Sept. 5.—| After killing seven people including his wife four children and two grand- children and wounding his daughter- in-law, a policeman, and two other people here Saturday night, Tony De Capua ..43, was’. reported. to. be re-| covering in City Hospital from, bullet wounds inflicted by police.
