Reports indicate that fascist op-
erations have not spread to any ap-
preciable extent outside of New
York. New York also has the ques-
tionabIe honor of providing the hot
bed for our initial burst of the boil
shevist disease. Density and isola-
tion Of foreign born groups in New

York's neurotics account for a con-
siderable degree.
Unions Are Antidote.
As to an organization formed for
fascism. cannot at this time counsel
any precipftate effort. The trade
union Is, to my mind, the best demo-
cratic antidote for fascism. just as
workers can be organized in Ameri-
can trade unions they will find them
selves in an atmosphere that Will
quickly dispel the mists that breed
autocratic movements, and sustain
autocratic powers.
American trade unions have proved
this I'm dealing with bolshevism. No
where have wage earners stood &c
superbly true TO democratic principles
as in the American trade union. The
attack continues, but 1t does not md
success.
It is necessary to know something
Of the background of events in Italy
to understand why II was possible
for a Fascist movement to gain
strength there and why it is equally
not possible in the United States. In
the United States we have had neither
the extreme disorganization and des-
titution as a result OF war. nor the
extreme menace of bolshevist chilean :
cry. with which Italy was confronted;
and both of these conditions helped to
pave the way in Italy for Fascist op-
erations.
Fascism. like bolshevism. operates
on autocratfc lines, regardless of the
peaceful, natural expression of opin-
ion by which democracy shapes it's
course. America has to the fullest
degree provided the channels for ex-
preston of public will. I think most
Americans are determined that they
will be governed only by law and ad
ministered only by those who are able
to win approval at the ballot box
That determination seals the doom of
Fascis and bolshevism alike so far as
America is concerned.

NEW YORK. April 2s-The Actors
Equity Association announced today
that 1t was preparing a bill to compel
managers to be present throughout
all performances in their theaters.
This is move in retaliation for the
Levy bill, permitting performances
seven days a week. which has passed
the state senate with support of the
producing managers association.
Broadway was discussing today the
possibility of repetition of the
actors strike in 1919. Negotiations
and the p. NJ A for a contract TO
supplant that expiring next year were
broken off last night. and Frank
Gilmore, executive secretary of
equity. called an indignation meeting
at the Hotel Plaza. Both the Sunday
show bill and the contract troubles
will be discussed then.
Makes Light OF Bill.
Augustus Thomas. executive chair
eauity's proposed bill when a reporter
told him of 1t.
Mr.. Gilmore said, in outlining the
plan:
"The Actors Equity Association is
preparing a bill to be introduced
managers to I've present in the
theaters where their productions are
from the rise of the curtain to its
fall.
The managers should be there in
case of fire, accident or any trouble
the actors have to stay there the
whole time, and there is no reason
why the managers should not be
forced to do so.
IF Mr.. Shubert has twelve produc-
tions all at once, he should personally
be compelled to go from one theater
to the other, where these productions
are playing.
I'VE have many friends in Albany
with whom we have already COM
municated. and we feel certain they
can put it through the legislature for
US.
Their Wishes Ignored.
There is as much justice in this
bill as in the Levy bill. which COM
pels us to work seven days a week.
The manager can sit at home and
toast his toes on Sunday night, but
the actors have to go through q ter
rible strain. In spite OF protests from
twelve thousand (not counting chorus
girls), they ride over us like Jug
gernaut.
I'VE are certain to stick by our guns
In our demands for the equity shop.
However, the meeting tomorrow will
decide what the actors will demand"
Arbitration will doubtless be tried
in the present difficulty before there
is a resort to the strike.
The managers committee consisted d
of Sam. II. Harris. president of the
association: Mr.. Thomas, Mr.. Brady
and Lee Shubert. The equity COM
mittee consisted of John Emerson.
