ballot.
Has = Labor Government.
The numerican strength of the
Mexican labor movement today is ex-
pressed in the fact that practically
every wage worker and dirt farmer is
a member, constituting 80 per cent of
the adult population. This tells why
Mexico today has the most liberal
and progressive constitution Of any
nation in the world. In spite OF out
side nagging and failure of the United
States to recognize the Mexican gov
eminent, the people are making re-
markable industrial progress. They
had been exploited for SO many years
that the new freedom naturally walks
with a limp in some places.
Practically every national union Of
ficial holds q government position as
a result Of the last election. They are
members OF the Senate, the House Of
Representatives and In some In
stances are governors Of states. In
fact, Mexico has a labor government.
Having discovered the power OF the
ballot, the Mexican worker Is going to
keep on using It unitedIy. BY organ
ization and the ballot he has gained q
living wage, longer life, q few luxu-
ries and q chance for educating him.

New Electoral Reform Bill In Italy
Approved BY MussOlini

ROME. June 3.-Premier Musso-
lini has approved the draft of the
new electoral reform bill, which will
be discussed by the cabinet Tuesday
and introduced in the chamber i'm
mediately afterwards.
The bill provides for the extension
of the vote to women in municipal
elections and will apply proportional
representation.
Voting will be on a national basis,
the whole country being regarded as
a single constituency for the purpose
of estimating the majority and
minority, but each region will con-
stitute separate unit as regards
the lists of candidates and the allo-
cation of seats to the successful can
didates. The bill abolshes nearly all
previous restrictions on eligibility.

ITALY FINDS MUSSOLlNI
 RESEMBLES NAPOLEON

ROME, Jan 8. - "Napoleon the Fourth" is the title by which Benlto Mussolini, the young premier of Italy, is fast becoming known locally, ow- ing to his resemblance to Bonaparte in personal appearance, and in his daily intercourse with his visitors and lieutenants.
 Six representatives of the press, after speaking with Mussolini for over an hour the other night, were evenly divided as to whether this Napoleonic attitude of the Fascist leader was natural, or merely pose.
 Mussolini snapped back his ans wers in short incisive sentences. Many times his right hand wandered into his waistcoat across his chest, and with his clean shaven face of somewhat sallow hue and short but stocky stature he presented a picture not unlike that of the first Napoleon after he placed himself upon the throne of France.
 Passing through the lobby of the hotel on his way to the ministry of the interior after the interview Mus solini caught sight of Deputy Lan- franconi awaiting him. Lanfranconi is the possessor of a short, black beard, and Mussolini playfully reached up and pulled at the whisk-
