ITALY SHOW BIG
GAINS FOR PARTY
Industrial Workers Join
in Large Numbers

ROME, Dec 2.-The Communist
Party Of Italy is making gigantic
strides forward in its work of organ
izing the masses, the most recent
membership figures of the party
show.
In Milan alone there are more than
1900 active Communists and 1900
more are In the ranks of the Young
Communist League. The members in
Milan have been most active In keep
ing their daily organ, Unita, in the
field in spite Of the constant attacks
and suppressions of the paper by the
government
Miners Join Communist Ranks.
The large party membership in
Sardinia is Of particular significance
since Sardinia has been considered the
stronghold Of the blackshrt regime
Miners of the district are joining the
Communists in large numbers.
Members Of the fascist cabinet who
found it expedient to resign for time
are being received with open arms by
the liberal and socialist parties OF
Italy. All Of the parties Of the illegal
opposition" are arranging for a meet
ing to be held this week, at which a
formal protest" will be registered
against the tactics of the Mussolini
government. Chief among the speak
ers is to be Di Cesaro, until recently
minister of labor and commerce in the
cabinet Of Mussolini. Di Cesaro, while
in Office, boasted openly of his prac
teal work in disarming the prole.
tariat.
Desert United Struggle.
Turati, head of the yellow socialist
party and ardent supporter of the
world war, is to be chairman of the
meeting. He will be assisted by No
bill of the maximalists.
All Of these liberal socialist parties
have repeatedly refused to unite with
the Communist Party for the common
struggle against the worst evils Of
the blackshirt dictatorship.

RED ARMY COMEDY
PICTURE COMES TO
MASSACHUSETTS
Friday, Saturday and
Sunday in Maynard

That Russia can produce anything
but stark tragedy is a surprise to
American movie-goers, but that the
Red amy could lay of its Job long
enuf to make a boisterous romantic
comedy is almost unbelievable.
Yet this is exactly what happens in
the Russian feature, 1.-THE Beauty
and the Bolshevik" which PLAYS in
Maynard, Massachusetts, on Friday
and Saturday Dec. s and 6, at River
side Theater Main street.
The Red Army commander. In the
course Of his courtship of a rich land
owners daughter, has a propaganda
book, THE A-B-C Of Communism,
thrown at his head, and goes out into
the night in search of another board
ing house. One of his privates fares
but little better-he has his fingers
smashed in a homemade mangle. and
only collects his kiss after painfully
chasing the family pig out Of the
garden. But the picture ends as hap
PLY as any American product.
The program is filed out with
highly educational picture OF indus
trial life called Russia in overalIs."
The oil fields of Baku, clothing and
shoe factories. steel mills, locomotive
works and many other enterprises are
shown, especial emphasis being
placed on those in which American
labor is directly interested.

had their headquarters in AIexans

But his bandits committed robbery,
rape and murder within a radius Of
from 40 to so miles Of Alexandrowsk.
Their hand Of destruction is visible
everywhere, even to this day, parti-
cularly in the German villages Of
which there are eighteen in this To-
cality.
Factories Work Three Shifts.
But the county is building up fast.
Flour mills and factories are working
to capacity. Some Of the factories,
like the farming implement factories,
are working three shifts day.
One Of the factories, employing 600
men, is building airplane motors.
About 5000 men are working In the
farming implement factory. About
1000 men are working in the railroad
shops. Three hundred men work in
the auto repair shops. They overhaul
auto trucks and automobiles and mo
torcycles, which the Red Army took
away from Denikin and Wrangel
armies. They are American, French
and Italian makes, but most of them
are Packards.
Big Turbine Power Plant.
Of great Importance is the building
of an electric power plant near the
city Of Alexandrowsk on the Denieper
river, which is to be equipped with
water turbines generating electric
power for this whole district. Work
on the plant is to start this spring.
The dam for the electric plant will be
119 feet high. Along with the dam
will be constructed canal with locks
to enable ships from the Black Sea
ports to go up the river and load
grain. w

conditions of the Ukrainian republic
and that Of the whole Union Of So
cialist Soviet Republic, showing that
the whole Of Soviet Russia will be
operating on an even balanced budg-
ct. From this you will notice that
the Russian workers have learned to
be good housekeepers.

of factory, whether mechanical or

whole force, located in the factory and
functioning right on the job.
There is another organization,
known as the shop nucleus, consisting
of Communist Party members only.
They look after everything and re-
port to the party organization. Then
there is the labor exchange, where all
workers must register and apply for
work instead Of having to go to the

to have been the queen for each was
the seal upon a treaty of amity and
commerce between the two people.
To see all the activities in operation,
the marks of wealth and luxury, the
pomp of an oriental court made a
dazzling period that took the eye but
carried with it inevitable disaster
among such folk as the democratic
Hebrews. The disintegration was
well along even during the life of the
king for Edom had revolted and Da-
mascus became Independent while
Egypt seems to have been the fomen-
ter of inner discord in spite of much
boosted alliance with her royalty.
SOLOMON THE DEVOTEE
Solomon was a great religionist.
That he had wonderful capacity for
vital piety is revealed in his early de-
votion and in the prayer of dedica-
ton with which he set apart the Tenn
pie as Jehovah's dwelling. He had
inherited the spiritual powers of
David and if he had had the farm for
his home instead of the harem the
record might have been vastly
changed. Instead of the constant
thinking in terms of empire as David
did his centered in himself and sell
/ fishness instead of service is the
marked note of his rule. His real
God was Solomon and to bow at that
shrine dwarfs all other capacities for
spirituality. But there is no question
as to his outer devoutness. Jehovah's
Temple was his pride and its pag-
aentry his fostering care. But he
wasn't hidebound enough to think
that his God was the only one
others could have their way of wor-
ship and of thinking so far as he was
concerned" So contributions were
made to the Temple of Chemosh, to
Moloch and the rest for it was good
policy to appear as the patron of re-
ligion regardless of its form Solomon
would never have sailed in the May
flower. He would not have struggled
with the Huguenots nor have been
seen in the cavern homes Of the
Waldensians nor have fought with
the Dutch in Hollands ragged regi-
ments under William the Silent. For
he was ''liberal," so nightly toler-
ant that he never knew faith worth
fighting for. Under such leadership
the forms increased but the power OF
vital piety was smothered while con-
science lost its keen edge except
among those who were without voice
in the direction of the affairs of the
realm. That unrecognized prophetic
group that had no standing at the
Court was tending it's smouldering
torch in which was the hope of the
future and the real life of Solomon's
day.

financial measures a question of con-

it is believed there will be an open
fight between the commission and the
Government when the measures are
presented in the Senate.
The Finance Committee, headed by

ate, greatly changing many of the 1O9
articles in the Premier's financial
measure, as adopted by the Chamber
of Deputies recently.
