"Pay Workers Before

Govt Employees Cry
BY ELLA c. WOLFE,

Federated Press Staff Correspondent.
MEXICO CITY.-A gigantic protest
meeting was held by the government
employees of the capital in the bull
fight ring. After three or four speak
ers outlined the critical situation Of
all these men and women whom the
Mexican government owes more than
30 days of pay, three resolutions were
adopted-frst and most important
that the payment of the debt to the
United States be suspended at once;
secondly, that the government pay all
back salaries at once, and thirdly,
that the number Of generals in the
army be reduced and the number of
soldiers cut down, now that the revo-
luton is practically dead. AS a sop
to this protesting and hungry mass,
the government began paying the
first ten days of the month of March.
A large public demonstration is being
planned if regular payment does not
continue. And if the demonstration

DICTATOR FOR J
DEPUTY'S LOSS
N. Y. Italians Charge
Mussolini Guilty
Especial to The Daily workerl

NEW YORK, June 24.-Excitement
is running high among Italians in New
York over the murder in Italy of the
Socialist deputy Matteotti by the Fas-
cisti. Premier Mussolini, the Fascist
chief, is held responsible for the
crime.
Resolutions of sympathy have been
cabled to Matteotti's widow in Rome,
by the Central Trades and Labor coun-
Gil and Italian clothing workers un-
ions. Delegates to the National Wo-
mems Trade Union League convention
in session here denounced the terror
in Rome and expressed solidarity
with Italian labor in its life and death
struggle against the Fascist govern
ment and Black-Shirt army.
Mass Meeting June 26.
In Italian shops and restaurants the
murder is the one topic Of converse
ton, as many Italian leaders in New
York were close personal friends Of
Matteotti. Protest meetings, which are
being held in different parts of the
city, will eliminate in a mass meeting
at Carnegie Hall, June rs.
Details of this murder and other
Fascist crimes, which have been sup
pressed by the Rome censorship, will
be revealed at the meeting by speak
ers who are in direct communication
with anti-Fascist groups in Italy. The
Central Trades and Labor council,
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers,
Italian Chamber of Labor, United He
brew Trades and the Anti-Fascist Al
lance are among the organizations
backing the protest meeting.
II Ben Wins.
"If Mussolini gets away with this
murder there will be revival Of the
Fascist movement by his American
agents, probably followed by similar
black-hand murders in this country"
says Arturo Giovannitti, secretary
Anti-Fascist Alliance. He explained
that Mussolini has sent men and mon
ey to the United States to gain con-
troll of the Italian-American popula-
ton and duplicate in this country his
Fascist success.

WASHINGTON, June "a. - Pres.
Coolidge, Dawes, Pershing, Gen. Fries
Of the chemical warfare service and
the rest of the super-guardians of pre-
paredness are today directly challenged
by the executive committee of the
Federal Council of Churches. Nothing
that Jane Addams and the Womens
international League said or did, in
their recent world congress here, was
so cruel in it's implications to the

alton has announced.
What VIII Dawes Say?
Gen. Barnett of the marines, recent
ly discussing this issue here, answered
that anybody opposing the national
defense on principle should be locked
up as traitor.
Let them refuse, unequivocally,"
says the church committee, ito sup
port pagan international policies or
acquiesce in colossal and provocative
preparations for super-pagan wars. :.
The substitution of law, Cancellation
and arbitration for war in the settle
ment of international disputes is
matter of moral principle
Gen. Dawes may respond to this
challenge by pointing out that the
only modern leaders who have relied
on turning the left cheek were those
fiendish traitors, Lenin and Trotsky,
who refused to fight the Germans
and waited for the Germans to re-
ciprocate their Christian spirit. The
result was that Woodrow Wilson had
to invade Russia to bring them back
to proper fighting mood, and the Sis
son documents had to be forged to
put a moral face on the proceeding.

CRIME DOESN'T PAY CHIEF HART SAYS
Police Dept. Head Gives Sound
 Advice to Y. M. (. A. Boys

Chief of the Police Department William c. Hart addressed a meet ing of employed boys and members of of the Boys Department of the T.. M. c. A. last night in the lobby of the association. He said in part:
 "No doubt all of you boys look up- on the policemen as your oppresor and enemy. That should not be so, he is your best friend and is always ready to help you when in difficulty. Of course the work of the policeman is to keep law and order and suppress , crime. Today there are 65 patrolmen keeping watch over your city, and if lit were not for the policemen you would be afraid to go home tonight. 1 'I too have been patrolman for over 20 years, and I sometimes won der how I stood the hardships of pounding the sidewalks all night when the city slept. Winter nights with the temperature below zero and | the wind bowling, you can bet it is no easy matter for one to withstand these hardships. However, a police man is always ready for an emergen- | cy and to be on hand when needed in the early morning hours when crimes are made easy and the desper- ate criminals are at work.
 T remember while patroling the northwestern part of the city l had to buck up against some mighty tough gangs. All of these fellows were good boys at one time. but thought the policeman was an object of tor ment and to be made fun of. When some of the boys became too trs uble- some, I'd talk to them and warn them of the inevitable trouble they would encounter. Of course l was unpopu- lar with this gang and many times I would find on the sidewalk the skull and bones painted Death to Hart. Many of these fellows went from bad to worse and finally four years ago they all landed in states prison. Then they realized the consequences and later told me how sorry they were because they did not take my advice,

ANOTHER CONFERENCE
Entente Nations Are Expected to Meet Immediately Following the Preparations Committee Report.

By the Associated Press.
 Paris, March 1s.-The holding of a conference of the entente nations immediately after the inter-allied reparation commission has recog- nized the report of the reparation experts is regarded in diplomatic cir cles as more than likely. There is the best of authority for the suppo- sition that Premier Poincare is quite as anxious as Prime Minister Mac Donald to clear up the reparation and other European difficulties that are keeping the economic situation in ar, unsettled state.
 The conference eventually to be held, t is thought, will grapple with the question of Frances security as well as the reparation problem. The prospect of settlement of the first of these problems before the French elections in May is understood to be one of the reasons for Premier Poin- cares desire to meet his British col league as soon as the experts have paved the way for a new discussion.
