ITALIAN WORKERS REJOIN
UNIONS, fascist WEAKEN

By international Labor News Service.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 90
Giustizzia, the Italian labor paper, re-
ports big revival of the trade union
movement in Italy, coincident with in
ternal dissentiion in the ranks Of the
Fascist and 3 growing opposition to
their rule.
"The reconstvgction Of the trade
unions It writes, ''is in full swing:
the workers are streaming back into
the bana ide trade unions, especially
the metal-workers, textile workers and
building workers.
"Both in Venice and Savona trades
councils have been re-established.
One of the chief factors in this change
is the internal disintegration of the
Fascist Trade Union Movement. The
illusion that the Fascist organizations
can or will do anything for the work
ers is now quite at an end"
Giustizzia calls upon the bona fiide
trade unions to prove themselves
worthy of their returning members.
The workers must be brought to
realize the necessity for stricter dis
ciplin; the mistake of the past must
be avoided in the future.
"Both the leaders and the rank and
file must set to work openly and cour-
ageously to correct their former
fault. This will be a guarantee for a
better future for the whole move
ment"

HIGH LIGHTS ON ANNUAL REPORT
OF LABOR'S EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

Following are some of the striking
and significant points in the annual
report of the Executive Council of
the American Federation of Labor.
Growth and Progressive Thought
It is with immense satisfaction, that
we note the growth of constructive
and progressive thought on every
hand, perhaps the healthiest sign on
our whole horizon. It is obvious
that there is today a greater under
standing Of the aims of labor than
ever before, a greater and deeper
sympathy with labor's purposes and
aspirations and a finer spirit of CO.
Operation.
Necessity Of Going Forward
In the world of life and labor moth
ing is static-there is no standing
still. If we are not to 60 backward,
we must forge onward. This we have
done during the year just passed and
this we must do in the year to come
with even greater intelligence, de-
termination, and vigor. We are each
day convincing the wage earners Of
our country of the supreme necessity
Of trade union organization. We are
likewise convincing great numbers Of
those who are not wage earners in
a similar manner, thus building up a

TRADE UNIONS OF JAPAN
GAIN IN MEMBERSHIP

BY international Labor News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 20
During the first five months of the
year 1924, there was an increase in
Japan of 10 labor unions and 33 union
branches, with total of 40,903 MEM
bers, according to figures published in
the Industrial and Labor Information
at the international Labor Office.
The workers in the naval arsenals
at Yokosuka in Kanagawa prefecture.
Maizuru in Kyoto prefecture, Kure in
Hiroshima prefecture, and Sasebo in
Nagasali prefecture, recently organ
lied several unions and formed a big
federation including more than $1,000
members.
The general Federation Of Japanese
Labor has increased it's membership
and the number of its branches
throughout the country, and has en-
tered into friendly relations with
other big unions, such as the General
Federation of Workers in Government
Undertakings, the Japan Seamen's
Union, and the Japan Farmers Union.

sustaining body of opinion for pro-
gressive, democratic, and constructive
effort.
Industry's Path of Progress
Industry must find its own way
through the difficulties with which it
is best. There is no magic wand
with which barriers may be waved
aside. There is no outside agency,
governmental or otherwise, which may
be called in as physicians to cut away
the entanglements. Industry, we re-
peat, must solve its own problems,
or we face the alternative of state
intrusion which must inevitably lead
to bureaucracy and breakdown. De-
mocracy can not come into industry
through the state. Any effort in that
direction results in bureaucracy and
destruction of democracy.
Labor is ready to move forward as
rapidly as the world Of industry is
ready to move. But while reactionary
and burbon employers stand across
the pathway, labor must meet con-
ditions as they are. This it win do.
and reafirming its faith in the future,
it lays the responsibility for delay
squarely upon those groups Of employ

BRITISH SEAMEN
URGE FIVE YEARS OF
INDUSTRIAL PEACE
By Joseph A Wise


By international Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-"Five years
Of industrial peace" was the central
idea Of an interview that the Chicago
correspondent Of international Labor
News Service had with ]. Havelock
Wilson, for so years a British labor
leader and for 20 years member OF
the English Parliament, who is in
America on business connected with
the international Seafarers' Fedora
tion, OF which he is president. He
is accompanied by Chris Damn, gem
eral secretary of the federation, and
several organizers, who are maxi
ing contracts with bona fide seamen Of
various nationalities on their arrival
in American ports with the view of
getting them to obtain union men,
bership cards.
Another important item on the pro-
gram Of the visiting British delegation
was to obtain an official interpreta-
tion of the meaning and application
of the immigration act of 1924 in
relation of bona flide seamen. Mr..
Wilson visited President Coolidge and
Secretary James ]. Davis Of the
Labor Department of Washington
and offered the services Of his organ
ization to the United States Govern
ment at foreign ports, (which is the
source Of violations of the immigra-
tion act" as Mr.. Wilson said.
To Cooperate With U. s. Officers
II cannot understand why you have
permitted this beautiful country to be
used as a dumping ground for the un-
desirables Of Europe and other races
as long as you have," said Mr.. Viii
son. ''It is the desire and purpose of
my organization to cooperate in every
way with your immigration officers to
see that the act is enforced in its ap-
plication to seamen. We have been
assured by your government that

CHILD LABOR LAW
DEFEATED BY LIES
IN MASSACHUSETTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 90
By international Labor News Service.
Organized mill owners of Massaehu-
setts, owning mills also IN child labor
states of the South, were also able to
fool the people sufficiently to defeat
ratification of the labor amendment
to the Federal Constitution in the ref
erendum in Massachusetts, at the gem
eral election on November 4 by a
100000 majority. This is the tragic
fact which faces organized labor and
the rest of the men and women of the
United States who are seeking to re-.
move the blot of child labor from the
good name of our country" reports
Miss Ethel M. Smith, legislative
secretary Of the National Women's
Trade Union League, who has just
returned from Massachusetts, where
she was commissioned by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to work with
Organizer Frank H. Mccarthy of New
England district during the last month
of the child labor ratification cam
paign.
But though the exploitars OF
children have won the first round of
the fight, Miss Smith continued, 1--WE
can take courage in the thought that
it is only the first round. And our
knowledge of the means by which
their victory was won in Massachu-
sets only stirs our fighting blood as
it never was stirred before.
Lies Confuse Voters Minds
"The vote of 3 to against ratifica-
ton was the result of a campaign of
ruthless misrepresentation and vindic-
tiveness almost unparalleled. False
propaganda and Ibelous personal at
tacks upon supporters of the amend
ment, manufactured by the National
Manufacturers Association and the
Associated Industries of Massachu-
setts, were broadcast over the state
like a blast of poison gas, confusing
the minds of the voters until not one
in ten thousand had any true idea at
all of what the amendment is about.

either owned, controlled, or were able
to buy for the occasion access to the
newspapers, radio, and other publicity

A Troglodyte and a neophyte sat
on fallen tree. They gazed around
at the messy ground quite medita-
tivelee. The troglodyte with all his
might expounded learnedlee while the
neophyte with breath held tight soak

Election night, said the troglodyte,
was wonderful to me. For four years
more we call the score and take what
loot there be, while neophyte with
breath held tight would silently agree.
Now traglodyte is hard boiled egg
who knows the game he plays, while
neophyte is a youthful sprite of callow
thought and ways. SO troglodyte
with learned might would gesture
sweepinglee to neophyte whose dawn

Might is right, said traglodyte; all
else is meaningless. / see, oh quite,
chirped neophyte, afiush with eager
ness.
And so it goes on this struggling
sphere. The soft boiled egg and the
cynical seer oft play the game to-
gether. The one with greed under
gloss veneer, the other with childish,
chirping cheer-a sheep and the old
bell weather.
But neophyte, the young and bright,
may live and garner wisdom, while
troglodyte, the old and tight, hunts up

STEADY GROWTH OF PROGRESSIVE THOUGHT
MA F. OF |. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL REPORT

By international Labor News Service. I
Ell PASO, Texas, Nov. 20.-If
labor is not to go backward, it must
forge onward. There is today
greater understanding of the aims of
labor than ever before.
Industry must solve its own prob
lens and find its way through the
difficulties that beset it.
Democracy in industry implies and
involves the participation of every
useful element in industry.
The foregoing are some of the out
standing points made by the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor in its report to the Federation's
forty-fourth annual convention, held
here. The report points out that the
year since the Portland, Ore, eonven-
tion of 1923 has been a steady for
ward march of organized labor and
cheering growth of constructive and
progressive thought in the nation.
Organization Gain Seen
''The year." says the executive
council in it's introduction to the re-
port, "has witnessed many dramatic
developments affecting wage earners
and the labor movement itself has wit
messed a steady progressive move
ment toward better organization,
great influence on our whole social
life in all its important aspects.
"It is with immense satisfaction
that we note the growth of construc-
tive and progressive thought on every
hand perhaps the healthiest sign on
our whole horizon. It is obvious that
there is today greater understanding
Of the aims of labor than ever before,
greater and deeper sympathy with
labor's purposes and aspirations and a
fines spirit of cooperation.
Educators, to cite an example,
have arrived at better understand
ing of labor and they have during
the year more than ever displayed
their deep interest by inquiry at the
headquarters of the American Feder-
alton of Labor for information and
counsel, as well as regarding meth
DDS by which they might be helpful.
abor Wins New Friends
There has been a marked weaken
ing of the cold wall of bigoted OPP
position on every hand. Labor's po-
sition has won new friends and de-
tenders and has challenged the ad-
miration and sympathy of great
numbers who have during the year
come to a better understanding of
our movement.
"It is not only the policy of our
movement regarding what are gen.
eraly known as purely labor meas
ures that has won for US this grow
ing understanding and friendship; the
position of our movement on board
measures of social and industrial
progress has been equally productive
of understanding and goodwill.
Open Shop in Retreat
"The militant determination of our
movement together with this promul-
CATION of a democratic constructive
policy in our industrial life has re-
suited in the almost complete elm
ination of the so-called "open shop"
movement as an aggressive force.
The movement is, of course, not dead,
