trouble with Austria and also proved
that Italy has her scissorsbills as well
as the U. S. The officers were easily
distinguished from the men both by
their uniforms and their weight.
Most of them carried the extra
poundage in front of them. In other
words they were typical bourgeois
business men.
The rank and file Of the militia ap-
peared to be recruited from the same
element as our strikebreakers and
gunner of the U. S. They were
hard-faced, tough-looking individuals
who appeared ready for anything pro
vided they were well paid for it and
the risks weren't too great
Following the militia came the
young fellows Of the movement,
mostly kids around eighteen or under,
who obviously showed their pleasure
in belonging to an organization Of cut
throats, sort of modern way of play
ing pirate in a more realistic manner
OF course, they tried to look as Zero
cious as possible.
No Applause for Musso.
There was no applause as they
passed and the whole atmosphere was
one Of funeral rather than cele-
bration. After the parade the Fascist
assembled in the piazza in front Of the
cathedral. In a very few minutes an
automobile plowed its way through
the crowd making the people jump
for their lives and pulled up at the
foot Of the steps leading to the ca
thedral.
Out stepped Mussolini in a black
shirt and about two pounds Of medals
on his manly breast, mounted the
cathedral steps and made a short
speech in which he lauded his accom-
plices for the gentle manner in which
they had saved the borgeoisie from
the terrible Bolsheviks and the work
ers from getting an extra crust of
bread day. He then got down and
was kissed by number of his com
patriots after which he made his es-
cape.
omlnousIy Silent People.
There was cheering and waving of
guns but the Milanese who were in
the crowd took no part in it but re-
NAMED, what seemed to me, rather
ominously silent. An American who
witnessed the same celebration last
trast to the way tbs crowd received
the heroes then. The turning point
was the murder of Matteotti and al
though he (Mussolini) may hang on to
power another year or two. he and
his organization are losing popularity
day by day. However, he saved the
hide Of the bourgeoisie for a time
and has therefore performed his mis-
sion.

impossible to make any Roadway in

plenty of stoolpigeons in the ranks
Of the gunner. 1t is safe to say that
nothing happens in the underworld
unknown to the police. 1t is not too
much to say that many things hap
pen in the underworld that are made
to happen by the police. The close
relationship existing between Dean
O'Bannion, States Attorney Grove
and the police is proof of this.
Not so long ago Lieutenant
Michael Grady, so-called lace" of the
detective bureau, was indicted with
O'Bannion on charge Of stealing booze
from a government warehouse. Ac-
cording to statements Of prohibition
officers, Grady and a squad of de-
tectives led O'Bannion's hijacking
caravan and were prepared to shoot
it out with any darned q. S. govern
ment prohibition agents that might
happen along.
Grady was suspended as a result
of this escapade, but the Hearst pa
pers made such a vigorous fight for
him that Mayor Dever and his chief
of police were forced to reinstate him
pending trial on the booze stealing
charge with O'Bannion.
The gunner are not doing any wor-
rying about the police. AS The DAILY
WORKER already pointed out, the
latter are useful to the employers
during strikes and elections. There is
no record of a gunman going to the
gallows for murder. Robert Il. Grove
loes not make a grandstand play in
the cases Of gangsters, indicted for
murder as he made in the Loeb-Leo
pold case. Why? It is almost un
necessary to answer. His political re
lations with O'Bannion, who, accord
ing to Chief of Police Collins, com
mitted twenty-five murders, tell the
tale.
