The interview was published in a New York news- paper. Tresca is also head of the Anti- fascist League of North America and a member of the committee formed to defend Calogero Greco and Donato Carrillo, workers scheduled to go on trial for murder December 5 in the Bronx. They are alleged to have killed two anti-fascists. League Anti-Labor. _. “Di Revel’s real mission in the United States is not to cement the so-called bond of friendsaip between the United States and Italy, as he boasts,” Tresca said. “His mission is to maintain and direct his league as a guerilla organization in behalf of the fascist government of Italy and against the workers of Italian descent in this country, who oppose Mussolini's terrorism. The only bond of the kind of which he speaks is that between the New York House of “Morgan and the fascist government at Rome. “This interview, in which’ Revel boasts that his purpose ‘is to fight the radicals,’ by force if necessary, contains no new facts for us. Fascism, which Revel represents in this country, is based on violence directed against the working class. In Italy Revel’s compatriots have looted hun- dreds of trade union offices and burned dozens _ of co-operative stores.” City Will Investigate Holy ‘Healing’ Service ing the City Health Com- ‘on, Di. John Roach Straton, pas- Calvary Baptist Church, has 1 in a letter to Health Commis- mer Harris he would continue to hold “healing services” in his church and that he “would not, of course, countenance for a moment the slight- vest dictation as to what we’ should ,preach nor the smallest degree of in- ‘terference with our services at the ‘chutch.” Dr. Harris recently issued a warn- ing against “healing” by prayer and “by the “laying” on of hands, in easés .of communicable diseases. He said he would send a representative to the next “healing service” to report on Dr. Straton’s performance. Dr. Straton had added 25 more “ailing persons” to his list of “the cured” yesterday. On each’ of the sick, tubercular or erippled patients who went before shim last Sunday Dr. Straton laid oil- anointed hands.

Politicians Speculate | On Coolidge Choice of Breakfast Table Peers WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 (FP). — Since President Coolidge had as his breakfast guests at the White House on Nov. 8 not only Mayor “Big Bill” | Thompson of Chicago, but Gov. Len} Small of Illinois and férmer Sen. “Billy” Lorimer of that state, capital politicians have heatedly argued the question as to whether this social was Coolidge’s announcement that he | would not accept the Republican nom- ination next year even if it were of- |fered to him. | On the one hand it was urged that |Coolidge would not have permitted these near-outcasts of respectable publie life to enter his home unless he were seeking their support for next year. On the other hand it was claimed that the scandal of their being | invited could be explained only on the | ground that Coolidge had ceased to care for public opinion because he was | through with office-seeking. The ad-! | vocates of this view said that Coolidge | jhad thumbed his nose at the public | and shown the world what type of | persons he naturally would select as | companions when not looking for} votes. i Lorimer, expelled from the Senate as a corruptionist, chiefly because of the fight made by the late ‘Sen. La Follette against him, was notorious also for the collapse of his bank, in which hundreds of depositors lost their |savings. Vice President Dawes, then ja banker in Chicago, was found re- | sponsible in the courts for having lent Lorimer, secretly, a lot of securities with which Lorimer fraudulently per- suaded the bank examiners that he had assets upon which a bank charter should be issued. Big Business Sitting at Teachers’ Table “Business talks” by heads of cor-| porations, personnel directors, and city officials are being made a part of the regular curriculum of Brooklyn high schools. They were inaugurated by the Brooklyny Chamber of Com- merce and are designed to bridge the gap between high school and office and give the student some conception jof what is expected of him in the | business world. One of the first to address the stu- dents was Albert B. Firmin, Brook- “SHAKE ’EM UP.” All three shocks were estimated to have occurred about 4,800 miles from New York City but Director Tynan said today that the direction could not be determined.

New York City. 33 First St., ‘ , WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 14.— Carefully eliminating all possibility of re-forestation of the head water drainages and making the use of gov- ernment owned power plants diffi- cult, the army presented yesterday to President Coolidge, for perusal before it goes to congress, a plan for main- taining the levee graft. Mississippi river levees of unpre- cedented height and thickness, ex- tending from Cairo, Ill., to the Gulf are called for in the plan. There will be many fat contracts to general con- struction companies involved. A desultory defense is included in the report of the 150 army and civil- ian engineers working on this plan for the levee system of “controlling” Mississippi river floods. Some defense is required, as there has been severe criticism from Euro- pean flood engineers, who point out that the levee system has never so far prevented any big river floods. Needle Trade Defense Due to the demand of hundreds of workers for tickets, the Defense Com- mittee has arranged to continue the benefit showing of “The Belt” for one more week, until next Saturday evening. Tickets can be bought at the office of the defense, 41 Union Square, Room 714, and at the box of- fice, 40 Commerce St. “Russia In Overalls” will be shown Sunday at the Irving Plaza Hall, 15th St. and Irving Pl., for the De- fense Committee. This film shows how the workers and peasants have rebuilt their nation, Other pictures to be shown are “Beauty and the Bol- shevik” and “The Miracle of the Sol- dier Ivan.” Postpone Christmas Buying. The Joint Defense Committee urges all workers to postpone their Christ- mas buying until Vec, 24, when the v-day fair of the Joint Defense and Relief Committee, at Grand Centrai Palace, 46th St. and Lexington Ave. will be held. A special Christmas de- partment will be held at the bazaar. various kinds of jewelry, dolis and many other things will be seld at low [rices. The fair will be the biggest of its kind ever held in New York City. It will end with a grand masquerade ball New Year’s Eve. Over a quarter of a million dollars worth of goods will be sold at half price. History of the Mineola Frame-Up. The Joint Defense Committee is publishing as a souvenir for the ba- zaar a book entitled “The History of the Mineola Frame-Up.” The entire frame up and all its proceedings will be described in the book. The book also will contain pictures of all or- ganizations that have helped the Joint Defense Committee in its activ- ities to defend the arrested cloak- makers and furriers who have fallen victims to the attacks of the right clique. At the end of the book there will also be a list of individuals who have helped the Defense Committee in its activities. Pictures of Russian Revolution. Next Sunday, at 2 p. m. the Joint Defense and Relief Committee will have a review of Russian films at the Irving Plaza Hall, Irving Place and 15th St. The entire income will go for the defense of the Mineola vic- tims. The pictures that will be shown are: “The Beauty and the Bolshevik,” “Russia in Overalls,” and “The Miracle of Soldier Ivan.” The review will be a celebration of the Tenth Anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Government and at the same tirae a means to raise funds for the freeing of the Mineola victims. Branch Forwards $53. At an affair arranged by W. C. Branch No. 684 and the Parents’ As- sociation of Staten Island, $35 was raised and forwarded to the Defense Committee. H. Tobiash, Secretary of the Independent W. C., forwarded to the office of the Defense Committee $182.10 which he received from vari- ous independent branches in the coun- try for the Defense Committee. Dressmakers Are Active. The workers of the S. G. W. Dress Shop sent £23 with the following let- ter: “Dear Comrades: We are for- warding you a check for $23, from the workers in our shop for the Mineola victims. We hope that the other dress shops will follow our ex- ample and help to free the nine fur- riers from the infamous frame-up and will also help the Joint Board to re- build the union.” Volunteers Wanted. The office of the Defense Commit- tee is overloaded with work in its Mineola Defense Campaign and in preparation for the bazaar. Every. worker that can spare a few hours during the day is requested to come to the office of the Defense Commit- tee to help. ; CHURCH MOVES BACKWARD. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.—The Presbyterian church eliminates de- sertion as a reason for divorce and leaves adultery as the sole cause if future policy follows an offical docu- ment issued today from the head quarters of the Presbyterian General | Assembly, engineers who are touring America to study American bridge-building meth- ods. The opening of the 11th year of the Bolshevik regime finds the Soviet Union with 46,000 miles of railways, 7,000 more than before the war, with much new track under way. Heavier bridges are needed for the new Rus- sian locomotives. “Before the war Russian railroads had locomotives of a maximum size of from 60 to 70 tons,” said Prof. V. P. Nikolaev, manager of the bridge building section of the Metal Admin- istration of the Soviet Union, who heads the group of visiting engineers. “Since at present the Soviet Union is building larger locomotives the new bridges are designed for locomotiy jup to 180 tons. Within the next fi years it will be necessary to recon- | struct at least 50 per cent of the |railroad bridges in the whole Soviet | Union, “Our existing structural iron works, although up to their pre-war capacity, cannot produce enough parts for the new bridges. Therefore the govern- ment has decided to build 2 bridge plants in the Donetz Basin and in the Urals, Each of’ these plants ill have an annual capacity of 60,- other structural materials. We ex- pect to visit many bridge works in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Gary, Indiana, and Bethlehem.” Remus, as Trial Starts, Has Order for Evidence Of U.S. Agent’s Fraud The trial of Remus, “Bootleg King” for the murder of‘his wife, Imogene, began today with chosing of jurors and the granting of a petition present- ed by Remus in person for the sub- poena of receipted bills, letters, tele- grams, and accounts held by the for- mer government prohibition agent Franklin Dodge and others, which would “be useful to the defense.” Remus has repeatedly stated that Dodge and Imogene Remus together with other prohibition agents con- spired to swindle him out of his money, household effects, and other property, and keep him in a federal prison. Non-Union Shirtmakers Get Half Union Wages (By Federated Press.) Unorganized anthracite workers on men’s shirts make as lit- tle as half the union rate paid in New York, Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers organizer George Googe reports. Gooze, manager of the New York shirtmakers’ union joint board, has been conducting an organization drive in Hazelton and Pottsville, Pa, “The workers are so miserable-in these places,” says Gooze, “that em-! ployers pay their carfare. In a repre- sentative plant the average wage per week for workers, including opera- tors, pressers, cutters and foremen, came to $11.50. For pressers alone the rate is 85 cents per dozen shirts compared to 86 cents in the New York market.” FOR NEW YEAR’S WEEK.
