 Rome, June A new and peaceful programme of action between the contending forces of Italy's Socialist and Facisti has taken the place of the bitter fighting and killing of the past One year ago tourists coming to Italy considered the trip somewhat incomplete unless they had witnessed at least one street fight.
 Those were exciting days when one might at any time be shot as an in- nocent bystander while gazing at the marble pfnnacIes of Milan's Cathe- dral; when an afternoon tea on San Marcos Piazza in Venice might be rudely interrupted any moment by fifty armed Fascist shooting as they marched on their way to 'rebuke'' a socialist working quarter.
 May Day of last year was a day of bloodshed throughout the country. The day of election which followed shortly after-proclaimed as day of truce by both sides-was marked by some hundreds of fearful killings and the destruction by the Fascist of many Socialist headquarters. May Day of this year was so calm that one would have imagined it to be Easter. The Fascist have just held a national congress in Rome, which passed with no opposition whatever from Socialists or Communists.
 Propaganda Unpopular.
 Socialists will tell you that the Fas-
 
 popular with their former methods of attack that they have had to become good little boys'' if they are to re- gain any following. Fascist will as disturbance now because the Social ists have reformed and the Conmun- ists have become more mild than the lambs of the fields.
 Be these things as they may, a new programme is in force, according to the statement of Gino Calzor-Bini, secretary of the Fascio al Combatti- mento, which has its national head quarters in Rome. Having organized 600,o00 Italians under their political programme of Ire e-eStabliShing the political equilibrium of the nation at a time when the Socialists were strong enough in the Italian Parlia- ment to block any move the govern ment wished to make. the Fascist are now organizing their forces on economic lines.
 Cafzor-BdniJ who is an energetic Italian. with some knowledge of the English language and more of Ameri- of the successes of the Fascist. Like ; all Fascist, he claims that to his party belongs the credit of the pres ent order in Italy. especially. the po- overlooking the fact that Communist and Fascist deputies were all but shooting each other down in the Chamber less than a year ago.
 ''We Stand Ready to Fight!"
 There are some regions of Italy," he told me-" where it is still neces- Sary to combat the Socialist forces. Occasionally the Fascist are attacked ate, and, of course, we stand ready at all times to take up the old fight if it is necessary"
 He turned to answer a telephone a little village near Rome that evil dently needed little rebuking. Just outside the door of his office clam ored a noisy crowd of Fascist waiting final orders to set forth on an eNpedi- ton into the country-and 'expedi- ton of propaganda"
 One of our greatest victories" continued Calzor-Bfni, after promis- ing to go to the little village. was that of May Day. Not only was Italy quiet from one end to the other, but for the first May Day in fourteen years the trains were running They were run by 3O,O00 Fascist, regular railroad workers whom we have or ganized as a counter labor group to defeat the programme Of the Social list syndicates.
 That is only the beginning of our new programme.' he continued Our greatest success in organizing work rions where we have about 60,000 members of the Fascist Gruppi or ,syndicate.'
 that many thousands more have been won away from the regular syndi- cate organization of agricultural workers, refusing to belong to either group until they understand what they are fighting for
 Not Called Syndicates-
 we do not call our organizations syndicate because we do not like that word, but 1t Is difficult to make work CTS understand new words, so we shall probably eventually call our groups syndicates also" he explained.
 Remembering that one of the strongest syndicate organizations of women is among the agricultural workers and recalling the bitterness of the fighting between peasants and F'ascjstf a year ago. I asked CalZor- Bini if the Fascist have been able to organize women successfully. z ''No' he replied, women are not responding but we shall learn how to organize them, too. In Rome we have organized hundreds of tobacco workers among the men, and we have just seEen women" And then he add ed little bittrely: They are such ferocious fighters when they are against usi There is nothing women do not think of doing when they see Fascist They attack us on every occasion; they throw things out the windows on our heads They are dreadfuli But wait, we shall get them 1 into the Fascist organization, and then they will fight just as hard for | us"
 Workers Are Problem The industrial workers are another | difficult problem for the Fascisti- Cal | zor-Bini explained that because Fas- cisti have a land pnGEHamme that ap-
