SEES WAR THREAT
| ENDED IN BALKANS
Communists Routed, But Up
set May Come in Spring,
Says Bulgarian Leader.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
PARIS, October 3-"There will be no
war in the Balkans this Fall" stated d
representative of the Macedonian reyo-
lutionaire who arrived in Paris today
from Geneva. where he had tried to in
interest the League of Nations in the
Macedonian question.
Although, on account of the number
of important world questions discussed
at the meeting the league was unable
to pay much attention to the Bulgarian
claims, this Macedonian representative
believes the danger of war in the Bal
kans has been averted at least tempo
rarily.
ReprtxaIs Were Severe.
The bolshevists who failed to induce
Todor AleYandroff to precipitate Bal
kan conflict caused his murder, but re
prisals considered by the elements who
succeeded the murdered leader were 50
drastic that those communist agents
who had not been killed were forced TO
flee back TO Russia or Rumania, where
they have headquarters.
In order to prevent activities of the
bolshevists being renewed, the Mace
ronian revolutionaireS forced the
Bulgarian agrarians, who, since tn"
death of Stambolisky have favored
the communist policy, to abandon the
communists and join forces with the
Democrats under the leadership Of
former Prime Minister Malinoff. WIN
is expected soon to form a new CitbI-
net.
Communists Isolated.
The Bulgarian communists thus
have been completely isolated and. it
is believed, that for the next few
months the peace Of the Balkans viii
be undisturbed. The Macedonian
revolutionaries, however, while pre-
pared to wait until next Spring for
the solution of their claims for Mace
donian autonomy, have not aban-
doned their military organization,
and have made clear to French. Brit
ish and Serbian diplomats that unless
the problem is solved before the
league, they must face a bloody revo-
luton early next year
We are not, in the eyes of Europe,
an organized state. Consequently The
pact preventing wars just accepted
Geneva does not concern US" said The
Macedonian representative.

ITALIAN CENSORSHIP
SHOWS fascist POWER

WASHINGTON, July 24-The nat
ural sequence of autocracy is shown
in the muzzling of the Italian press
by the Fascist government. Cen
sorship follows the abduction and
murder of socialist deputy who op-
posed Mussolini.
The decree lays special stress on
"the growing tension between the
Fascist and the subversive elements,
whose activities show a decided in
crease"
AS true autocrats, the cabinet as
sumes the right to tell newspapers
what to print and dictate to the
people what they shall read. Disre-
garding past experience, the Fascist
makes it unlawful for newspapers to
print anything that may hinder the
government, injure the credit of the
government, or disturb public order.
If a newspaper violates the decree
the editor shall be warned, and if re-
peated within the same year the news
paper shall be suspended.

Not long since there came into be-
ing in Italy a government by force
inaugurated by an organization call
ING itself the Fascist headed by a
man named Mussolini, who made him
self the Premier and Dictator Of his
country. Much ado was made over
this dictator and his government by
the capitalist press of our country.
He was heralded as the Saviour OF
italy and as the destroyer Of Com
munism and Socialism. He was furth-
er lauded when in an interview with
one of our great captains Of industry
while on a visit to Rome, he declared
there would be no strikes in Italy.
This dictator represented as sound
and rational in judgment who with his
organization only had his country's
welfare at heart proclaimed his de-
mocracy at heart and in action yet
stated that liberty was delusiOn and
not wanted by the people.
Like all usurpers of power and OPP
pressors he and his kind were the

OUTLAW STRIKES
BRING DISASTER TO
ALL LABOR CAUSE
BY International Labor News Service

BY international Labor News Service
LONDON, July R4.-Unofficial or
outlaw strikes are the first steps to-
ward industrial chaos. crashing wage
scales and lowered standards OF liv-
ing.
This is the emphatic warning
against outlaw strikes given by the
British General Federation OF Trade
Unions, in its twenty-fifth annual, re-
port. issued on behalf of the manage
ment committee by w. A. Appleton,
secretary. The report says:
1T is impossible to conclude the
report without some reference to un-
official strikes, though it is necessary
to premise any criticism of these by
declaring most emphatically that not
all the fault lies with the men. Irri-
tating and dilatory tactics on the part
Of some .lemployers accentuate an
tagonisms that undoubtedly exist. A
little more expedition, little more
frankness on the part of those who
control and direct industry, would
make the task OF the official who is
realIy a TRADE unlonist, much lighter
than 1t is today.
Employers Lack Wisdom
"The General Federation is COM
PEELED, in fairness to the side II rep
resents, to complain of the lack OF
wisdom which has characterized the
employers methods of dealing with
disturbing situations. It Is necessary
because the Federation has not hesi-
tated to point out how disastrously
the unofficial and ill-considered
strike must react upon the workers
themselves.
Repeatedly during the past six
years the General Federation has
called attention to the dangers which
such strikes created. Unfortunately,
it has. until recently. received little
but attack and opprobrium for it's en-

METHODS OF MEDIEVAL TERRORISM

disappeared and it is stated by cor
respondents for newspapers who dared
to cut behind the rigid censorship es-
tablished by the dictator that Mat
teotti's body has been found terribly
mutilated-murdered and mutilated
because he had announced he would
expose through documents in his pos
session the true character of Fascism.
Matteotti's murder is only the lat
est of a long series of crimes; thugs
in every part of the country have
been employed to spread terrorism
among the critics Of the Fascist Par
ty. Through the murder Of the Italian
Deputy the people are aroused and
Mussolini and his organization are at
this writing on the defensive.
NJ matter, however, what the out
come of the present situation may be,
dictators must go; their time is at an
end and this whether they be dicta-
tors of governments or dictators in
industry such as we find in our coun-
try in the coal fields of Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Alabama; on the
railroads; in the steel industry or
what not, their ilk and tribe are a

GOMPERS SAYS:

Scientifically, the production ad-
vantages of the shorter work day
are no longer open to question.
But more important than produc-
ton records are the records of in
creased human happiness, health,
and general well-being, including
intellectual growth and stimulation.
The shorter work day is usually
accompanied in it's coming by i'm
proved working conditions. That
educational development which
leads to the one, naturally leads to
the other in most cases. These
taken together make for greater
longevity, more sound health, a
more wholesome and hopeful out
look on life, and better citizenship.
Gradually, but surely, the gates
open to a fairer chance for the
toiling masses, a better life for
them, and a consequent greater
service to society by them. The
benefit and the glory of progress
sheds its beneficent rays finally
upon all people everywhere. No
true measure of human progress
can long confine its benefits to a
few.
