ITALIAN PREMIER DECLARES WAR| ON CAMORRA, CRIMINALS SOCIETY ABOVE AND STRONGER THAN LAW

of the picciotto, fires the revolver and shatters the poisoned cup. draws the dagger from the table and hands 1t to the new Camorrista.
 The capo then embraces him, as do all the Camorristi in the room. He is, however, still liable to death, following trial, for:
 Betraying a secret, or fellow members's wife, defrauding the Ca mora, killing without permission, thieving, extorting or swindling for his own private gain, dsobedience and cowardice.
 For minor offences he may be sus- pended for a year or more. or per manently disfigured by the siregio. He in turn can inflict the siregio on an unfaithful wife, mistress or sweet heart. Some of the Comorr1sts place this mark-a St. Andrews cross-on the faces of their women to protect them from the attentions of other men, ana lHe "ollleh aio proud of this badge.
 Once Saved Naples
 That the Camorristi can maintain order is proved by the fact that they once saved Naples from revo- lution. A few months before Gari- baldi entered the city the prefect entrusted the police work to the Camorra. Naples has never been so we'll governed at any period of it's history.
 Ten years ago, after fourteen months trial for number of mur- ders, a gang of Cammoristi received life sentences at Viterbo. This, it was thought would crush this great secret society. It did nothing of the kind Every year more and more Italian workers, and sometimes aris- tocrats have joined the order.
 The desire on the part of many an Italian youth to become "flow- CT of evil' and to strut and swagger has grown beyond comprehension, and the outcome now is that Italy has swarms of successful CamOrristi, each of whom is a repusive combin- ation of usurer, blackmailer, souten- eur and murderer.
 And these are the people whom the Fascist Premier of Italy is out to fight.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS
 TO PISTOL. DUELS

MEXICO CITY, Jan. p. - The thirtieth Mexican Congress expired last month in turbulent session, in which pistols were drawn and chal- lenges to duels were freely made. Violent invectives were employed and physical encounters were barely averted. The long existing feud be- tween the co-operatistas and the par tido liberal consttutionalists broke out, and the opposite sides of the chamber exchanged all sorts of per sonalities. No one seemed to- be concerned with several important bills, which failed to pass because of the turn of affairs.

SUPERMAN IS
 WANTED BY THE
 FILIBUSTER FOES

Washington, March 23.-If some one will discover a sort of a three-in- one political superman, prophet and seer he will be richly rewarded by notifying the proper parties in Wash ngton
 The kind of a man wanted will show how one can eat his cake and have it at the same time. This search is non-partisan. The political agents of privilege in both parties are might fly interested.
 These agents want to get rid of the senate flibuster. The ship subsidy bill would now be law but for this device that can block neat little deals so necessary to reward the faithful and reimburse contributors to the party treasury.
 Under the senate rules debate can no wbe stopped by a three-fourths IS vote. But a three-fourths vote is hard to corral in these days of political in surrection and tumult, and the politi- on the need for making it easier to greased the next time legislation the senate and are suggesting that a special session of congress be called to end the filibuster
 But this is easier said than done. First, there are some senators who insist that the senate be an open forum. Secondly, in the next senate more than one-fourth of its members are liable any time to wander off the party reservation and join a war dance against monopoly and the priv ileged few And a still more alarm ing prospect is that these mutinous senators, when once convened, would refuse to outlaw the hlibuster, and proceed to levy higher taxes on wealth and also change the transpor- tation law and the tariff law.
 To even mention this prospect IS to cause chi11s and fever along a cer- tain street lined with banking houses in the lower part of New York city.
 lSo that's why a superman, prophet and seer Is wanted. He would show how the senate rules can be changed by the new senate without "pandering to the mob spirit" as one benevolent and bewhiskered century plant re- gently declared.

RAIL MANAGERS
 WASTE; COULD
 SAVE MILLIONS

Washington, March 23.-If 1ocomo- tives were effiriently handled on 40 rail roads alone more than 00,0O0,0OO would be saved annually, declared United States Senator Couzens in a public statement
 Railroad financiers scent trouble with the next congress and railway doctors" ," Senator Couzens said, are preparing to give the nation an anesthetiC Ill the form of statistics, curved lines and tables.
 '|The first thing that occurs to rail toad manager when he wants to reduce costs is to cut wages-that does not re- quire any laborious brain work But why not concentrate on means of cutting costs without reducing wages?
 "The inadequacy of transportation facilities is chiefly responsible for high operating costs and consequently for ex- cessive freight rates.'
 Senator Couzens referred to the com mon complaint that while the country seems to be exceedingly prosperous, there is restlessness and uncertainty on every hand" He suggested that citizens do not bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich, but that they give serious, open-rninded consideration to the so1u- ton of difficulties responsible for this unrest

COMMUNIST TRAPPED; WOULD SPLIT UNIONS

New York, March 23.-M. J. O1gin, editor of a Jewish communist news paper, made a sorry spectacle before the district attorney when he was l asked to present evidence he claimed to have that members of the Fur Workers Union risk their lives when they object to the policy of officials of that union.
 To every question by the district attorney, the communist replied: Il refuse to answer" or "I will not in criminate myself"
 When Olgin was first called before the district attorney, he pleaded with the trade union~of6cials that they set Olgin's opposition to courts of law IS now apparent. In declining the offer President Kaufman charged the com munist with consorting with strike breakers, with being stool pigeon and with attempting to destroy trade unions.
 During the entire period of your existence as spokesman of the 1efts,' you have played the role of stool pigeon in every labor organization which refused to give you financial support-in other words, graft, said President Kaufman, in his letter to Olgin You have done it while tell ing the outside world the most terri b1e stories about these unions, ignor- ing the very fundamentals of labor ethics.
 "You have tried to get control of our organization and you have been defeated aagin and again And as a last resort you have dndertalSen to use weapon that only irresponsible peo- D1e would use"

 It does not necessarily follow that concerns which are not here repre- sented are unfriendly, nevertheless those listed on this page have demon strated their friendliness in various ways and should have our support.

40-HOUR WORK WEEK
 MEANS LONGER LIFE

New York, March 23.-Organized painters in this district are proving by statistics and the experience of medi- cal men that the fve-day week length ems the lives of these workers. The painters are maintaining a health bu- reau. It is equipped with scientific ap-' paratus.' It IS in charge of recog- nized medical men and technicians. In a booklet issued by the bureau it is shown that the average life of paint CT IS 46 years, or I6 years less than the general population.
 Every material that the painter handles IS loaded with poison which results in disease. These poisons in clude lead, turpentine, naptha and wood alcohol The dead1iest, however, is -benzole, which takes but a very small amount to kill man. The book let states that two or three parts of benzole to 100000 parts of air, breathed for a few hours, may cause loss of consciousness. Because of its cheaRness, benzole has flooded the market and is being used with more frequency by painting contractors
 Another terror to painters Is ane- old-age disease which affects the painter in early years, making him wreck when he should be in the prime of manhood.
 "The difference between the 4o- hour week ared the 44-hour week for painters decreases the hours of expos ure of poisonous dusts and fumes by 9 per cent" the booklet tates. These four hours away from work increase the resistance of the body against dis ease by providing time for rest"

SAN JUAN, P. R.

Senores:
No por interes personal del que
suscribe nj de las personals que aho-
ra desempenan los puestos de macs
tros de agricultural, sino por 10 que
concierne a la educacion rural, ten
go ell honor de exp0ner las siguien-
tes razones a los legislatures del
pals:
1.-Tuvimos ell placer de or las
manifestations del representante
por acumulaci6n Hon. A. Lastra
Charriez, significando que ell Hon.
Comisionado de Agricultural habia
senalado que los maestros de agri-
cultura debieran estar bajo la direc-
ci6n del Departamento de Instruc-
cion. Considero muy juiciosos los
argumentos expresados por estos ca
balleros: la labor de los maestros
de agricultural es esencialmente edu-
catiya no de propaganda agricola,
aunque participant en- esta tambien,
por simpatia Y porque es su deber
prestar s'Y :oncurso de esta manera
al Departamento de Agricultural.
2.-Es justo consignar la necesi-
dad de facilitar a nuestros ninos
campesinos una educacion de carac-
ter agricola. Tenemos que crear la
tendencia este es el medic que de-
bemos utilizar para alcanzar nues-
tros fines. lC6mo podremos di-
rigir las mentes de nuestros nj
nos hacia la pequena finca Y al
cultivo cientifco de la terra 81
no formamos alrededor de ellos en-
las escueIas el ambiente adecuado?
3.-Recu6rdese que no solo prestan
su cooperation los maestros de agri-
cultura en- los trabajos de propagan-
da agricola sino que tambien estan
obligados asistir a un curse pre-
parade por ell Departamento de Agri-
cultura y dirigido por peritos en- las
varias materias de la ciencia agrf-
cola, en- el que amplian sus conoci-
mientos para utilizarlos luego en- be-
neficio de los educandos de la zona
rural
4.-No dejamos de comprender que
en- el transcurso del tempo en- que
tales funcionarios han venido traba-
jando habra habido algunos negli-
gentes o de preparation insufciente
que habran sido eliminados del SER
vicio que debieran eliminarse Ten
todas parties existen las excepcio-
nes), dando este lugar a que en- mu-
chas ocasiones ellos contribuyan a
que Sc forme un juicio desfavorable
sobre ell grupo en- su totalidad.
5-La ensenanza de agricultural.
como todas las actividades del pro
greso de nUestro pueblo, debe per-
feccionarse, tanto en- ell personal que
Sc utiliza como en- los metodos que Sc
ponen en- practica; debe hacerse ca
da vez mas util para la generation
que formamos en- nuestras escuelas
y para .el pals en- general; en- nues-
tro concepto hacia este fin debiera-
mos encaminarnos, pero jamas eli
minarla porque unos pocos no hayan
respondido, por incapacidad por
dcscuido, los altos fines que Sc
persiguen.
Respetamos el criterio de los
lcgisladores del pals y acatamos sus
Inxroe ;oc,,;,,Jol on L. ,,,S 1A
ideales de humanidad y patriotismo.
Solamente nos proponemos exponer
nuestro criterio en- ammonia con los
principles de la Association de Macs
tros de Puerto Rico.
