"Shut Up" or Die.
General Stringa of Milan organized
a strong campaign of protest against
Volpi and his band of Fascist crooks,
labelling them a "dishonor to the ma
ton" and demanding that the band
dissolve.
In answer the Via Porlezza, head
quarters of Volpi's gang, sent letter
to General Srtinga to shut up or be
killed. A letter was also sent from
Rome warning the anti-Fascist that
his opposition would not be tolerated.
The dissident Fascist Forni, now a
deputy, has had a Fascist opposition
banded against him since early in the
year. francesca Giunta and Giovanni
Marinelli sent circular letter to all
branches of the national militia about

another dissident Fascist, was
warned that he would pass a bad

Fascist band would not spare him
from violence.

Forni challenged the Fascist, how
ever, and announced that he would
go to Pavia to speak. Project Ricci
of that town, Colonel Magnaghi of the
Fascist militia and Commentators

Amerigo Dumini appeared with 30
Fascist to beat up Forni if he should
try to speak in spite of warnings.
Volpi and Dumini met Forni at the
station with their band of vicious Fas-

saved him from death at the hands of
thugs, who gave him terrific beat

MussoIini.

communicated with the Fascist party
and gave to Rossi and Giunta all the

The deputy's house was looted and
burned, but he himself was not at

More Revelations Coming.
These are only few Of the deeds
of violence of the Fascist officials Of
Ttaly-ex-official now-of whom Mus
solini thought so highly as long as he
could suppress public protest against
himself, but whom he threw over as
officials as soon as his own position
was endangered. While the men are
in jail now they are accorded special
privileges and the charges against him
are not being pressed in a hurry.
Mussolini attempted to allow the men
to escape after the murder of Matte
otti, but the opposition forced him to
order their arrest.
