Fascist dictatorship, the Italian press
has been simply huge trust, owned

NEW YORK, June 22.-Fifty
thousand men clothing workers in
great mass meetings turnout New
York City have voted unqualified ap-
prevail Of the decision of officials and
shop chairmen of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers to fight rather
than let the employers continue to
break contracts, cut wages and deal
with nonunion contract shops. The
resolutions passed at the rank and
file meetings give authority to the
union officials Ito take any measure
they may deem necessary to protect
our interests" The resolutions fix
the following terms for settlement:
THAT settlements with employers
shall be made upon assurance that
there will be no wage cuts and that
there should be established a mini
mum wage scale, regulation Of pro-
duction and an unemployment insur-
ance fund"
Industry Depressed.
President Hillman at the meetings
called upon the workers "to organize
THAT the action will be swift and the
victory complete" He described how
the union was organized in New York
10 years ago and finally won the a.
hour week and 81 a week increase
last year. He reported a general de-
preston in the industry thruout the
country. I'm the last depression,
(1920), the employers tried to destroy
the Amalgamated by lockout-and
failed. Today they are trying to put
one shop against another, one union
member against another.
Unless we take action there will
be wage reductions, the sweat shop,
and destruction of the union" said
Hillman, adding that "the employers
cannot stand strike. There is gen
eral feeling among Amalgamated
members as expressed in the meet
ings that the union must meet the
present challenge Of the employers
and win, or else New York will rap
idly become an open shop clothing

atrocity occurred" Presi went on.
Oil Went to Sinclair.
THE oil resources of Italy had been
sold out to Sinclair; the government
was ready to cable to the United States
that the transaction was complete and
that the Sinclair company might en-
ter the Italian field.
Seaports had already been handed
over to American capitalists by ar
ranging that the work at the ports
was to be monopolized by American
firms. These American concerns. in
turn, made tremendous profits by
turning over their labor contracts to
various small firms at high prices.
Ready to Sell Railroads.
The next move of the Fascist lead
ers in their money-hunting expedition
was to be the sale to private COM
panies of the railroads, up to now I'M
der state control.
"Matteoti was perhaps the only man
in Italy, besides those directly con-
cerned, who knew of the tactics of
Mussolinis government, and who was
in position to prove what others
merely suspected. He had in his pos
session documentary evidence show
ing how the Italian officials were con-
|ducting their business. It was to OBJ
tain and to destroy these documents
that the Fascist murdered Matteoti.
Matteotl Had the Goods.
"The Socialist deputy's speech at
the opening session Of the Parliament,
denouncing the tactics used by the
Fascist in terrorizing voters into
staying away from the polls or else
into voting, in some cases many times
over for Fascist candidates, reused
a storm of protest against Fascist
from the working men of Italy which
threatened to overwhelm the govern
ment. The next day Mussolini made
violent speech, threatening the op.
position WITH extreme measures II

stop.

STRIKE THREATENED
BY GERMAN LABOR
Warning Made Following Clash
With Government Over Eight
Hour Struggle.
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June 26.-German labor
clashed with the German government
and capitalists at the international
labor conference yesterday on the
eight-hour question and gave notice
through its spokesman, who is secre-
tary of the Berlin Trades Union, that
the struggle for eight hours will be
carried on by means of strikes.
Great Britain. Belgium, Poland and
other countries followed FIR .s's
lead of Tuesday in announcing -..e.r
intention to ratify the Washington
eight hours convention. But all in
sisted that the primary condition was
Germany's observance of the eight
hours, because German maintenance
of longer hours would constitute
grave menace to fair international
industrial competition.
Hermann Mueller, the German
workers secretary, charged the Ber-
lin government with yielding to the
capitalists because they were stronger
and of protiting by the abnormal con-
eitions in the Ruhr to impose long
hours.
We refuse to be exploited" he
said, and will struggle until Victori
Gus. The recent strikes in the metal
industries are only the prelude to
what we will do
He was convinced that reparationS
could be paid under the eight hour
system.
A delegate of the German employ
erS, on the other hand, pictured an
fmpoveriS Germany Eroaning un-
der taxes and needing freedom in the
application of the hour of work in
order to rebuild their devastated
homes.
The debate indicated that the great
powers are convinced that Germany
can pay reparations without adopt
ing working conditions less favor
able to the employees than those prev
alent in the allied countries, and the
British delegate, John Davies, quoted
the Dawes report to support this
view.

WORLD WAR HALTS DUEL
Critic, Challenged, Asks Record of
Opponent in Conflict.

PARIS, June 26.-The influence of
the late war on French dueling will
need special chapter in any future
history of the noble art It's first
effect was to abolish private encoun-
terS: then they were gradually re-
sumed for cases of really grave ma
ture, but the war still may intervene
to prevent a meeting at daybreak, as
evidenced by recent action.
Jacques Hebertot, director of the
Champs Elysee Theater, during re-
hearsals asked the critic Louis
Thomas, just returned from the
United States, why he had advised
Albert Wolfer not to accept the mu-
sical dictatorship of his theater.
During the discussion he accused
NJ. Thomas of falsehood, whereupon
the latter broke an umbrella over NJ.
Hebertot's head. The theater di-
rector sent his seconds to the critic,
but M. Thomas, before naming his
aides, said that although he was ex-
cused from military service on
grounds of i'll health. he had fought
through the war as a poilu. and he
would like to know NJ. Hebertot's
war record before meeting him on
the field OF honor. NJ. Hebertot's Sec
onds declined to accede to the re-
quest. and the duel, if not abandoned,
at least remains suspended.
