POPE CLEARS FASCISTS
IN DISORDERS AT PISA
Says Club Wrecking Was Clearly
Without Political
Motive.
BY the Associated Press.

PISA. July 20.-CardinaI Gasparri.
papal secretary of state. has written
a letter to Cardinal Maffi. Archbishop
of Pisa. in the name of Pope Plus. ex-
pressing regret at the recent wreck
ing of the Catholic club here by
"malefactors masquerading as fas-
Cisti."
Cardinal Gasparri added that acts
of this kind committed in various
parts of Italy against purely Catholic
institutions obviously had nothing to
do with politics. but were the result
of hatred of religion. The cardinal
noted that the authorities deplored
such crimes and were inf1icting de-
served punishment. and he expressed
the hope they. would in future take
the measures necessary to prevent
the recurrence of such painful in
cidents.
Premier Mussolini telegraphed the
prefect of Pisa instructing him to
visit Cardinal Maffi and express pro
found sorrow" and condemnation of
the foolish violence" against Catho-
lie clubs.

Garment Workers Out,

| Three thousand at most are out in
the telephone strike in New England.
Ten thousand are out in many trade
! disputes in the clothing and garment
industries, and about ten thousand
| more are out or working only part
time in other industries.
The contrast is striking one in
the coal mining industry. At this
time last year 100000 miners were
out on strike. Today the mines are
running under full summer produce
tion and the output is up TO that of
other years. A few weeks after the
coal strike became nation wide, after
a small start in the central competi-
tive field, $4,000 railway shopmen
went out on strike, tieing up indus
try generally and preventing ship
ment of what coal there was above
ground.
Today 100000 Of these men are still
away from their old Jobs due to fail
ure to patch up isolated grievances,
but 50 per cent of them, according to
officials of the American Federation
of Labor. are at work in some other
job, similar to that which they left
last July. About 5000 are drifting
! from job to job or are without work.
Last summer 10000 textile workers
were out, with the strike centering
in New England. During the past
| winter the troubles in the textile
mills have been overcome and now
! there are only a few isolated disturb
anCes.
| Today there are before the Labor
