A collection of $220.50 was taken. A resolution adopted with prolong- ed applause charged that the Greco- Carrillo case was a ‘“frame-up” planned by the Fascist League of North America, the ‘American branch of the fascist military organ- ization of Italy,” and charged the league was financed by the Italian fascist party. Bail Denied. The resolution also cited the “need less length of time Greco and Carrillo have been in prison.” They have been held without bail in the Bronx Coun- ty jail since July 11. “The two workers are innocent of the crime with which they are charged, as has been stated and proved in various New York news: papers,” the resolution adds.

Fines were imposed in the Millay shop at the whim of the super- intendent for coming late, going to the toilet often, and unavoidable breakages.

A few College boys went into the mines and made work so dangerous that three old miners quit Friday fearing a disaster. fremont County fields are closed with exception of one small mine. A larger mine was working fifty men until a week ago, when they produced thirty-five tons in one d: and the operators decided this was too ex- pensive coal, little more than one- tenth of normal production. The spirit here is second only to northern fields and men will stay out until there is just settlement. Concessions Fail to Keep Cap Firm in N.Y. In spite of concessions that the right wing administration of the Cap- makers’ Union is willing to give to them, manufacturers are moving out of town, militant workers pointed out yesterday.

Altho they have received many privi- leges from the union heads the fac- tory is being moved to New Jersey. Dr. N.
