ner in which he overcame the great
difficulties in his flight from San

the Navy Wilbur shortly, after he
reached the Navy Department this
morning. Rodgers will succeed
Captain A. w. johnson as assistant
chief in the bureau, which is heal
ed by Rear Admiral William A..
Moffett.
Regarded even before his intrepid
crossing of the Pacific as one OF
the best filters and aircraft experts
in the naval service, Rodgers feat
in keeping his seaplane afloat for
nine days in the sea until his crew
and himself could be rescued was
looked upon by Wilbur as m &C.
ward at the hands Of the Govern
ment.
The speed with which Comman-
new post is almost without prece-
dent in naval history.
Meantime. the pail that has hung
over the Navy Department since
the destruction of the, dirigible
Shenandoah and disappearance OF
Rodgers and the crew of the sea
plane PN9 No. 1 was, partly lifted
today by news of the rescue of the
latter.
Il am very, very happy to know
that they are safe. I had never
given up hope" said Secretary of
the Navy Wilbur when he was in
formed at an early hour that
Rodgers and his crew had been
found
Wilbur's hopes that the aviators
would be discovered alive had not
been shared generally among naval
officers during the past week, al
though there was great confidence
IN the ability Of Commander Rodg-
ers to pull through II the least
chance presented itself.
1t had been feared that heavy
seas would destroy the big sea
plane or that the airmen would die
of thirst.
At an early hour today Secre-
tary Wilbur had not counter

other attempt to fly from San
Francisco to Hawaii, but it was

TEXTILE WAGE CUTS
HIT BY LABOR HEAD
Green Declares Reductions Based
on Power of Might" and
Unfair to Workers.

Wage reductions in the textile in
dustry were the subject of a protest
yesterday by President Green of the
American Federation of Labor. He
wrote to Robert Amory, president or
the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers, and to Andrew G..
Pierce, president of the e. American
Wooden Co., saying that such action
was not to be based on reason, fair
ness or Justice" but that 1t repre-
sented the power of force and
might"
Mr.. Green said that it is economi-
cally and morally wrong to reduce the
purchasing power of the workers en-
gagged in textile manufacturing
through the imposition, by force, or
a reduction in wages while wage
levels are being maintained in prac-
tically all other lines of industry
He further pointed out that the tex
tile industry, more than any other,
enjoys the benefits OF hlgh protec-
tive tariff, and yet these other lndus-
tries are not proposing TO force re
ductions on their workers. the ract
is, he went on, that many industries
are showing grants or increased
wages.
The action of the labor leader, he
said, was prompted by press reports
that the American Woolen Co. is en-
gagged in putting into effect 10 per
cent reduction in wages of its en-
ployes and that other concerns en-
gagged in the manufacture of textiles
in certain New England States are
following the same policy.

MUSSOL|N| WRITES
HISTORY OF FAC|SM
InterpretS Policies in Series

Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence or the Assoclated fiesS'
ROME. July Mot satisfied with
having created Fascism, with having
nut it into effect during three arduous
years, and with bearing the Hercu-
lean responsibility of holding simulta-
neously five cabinet posts, Benito
NIussolini is now undertaking the task
of incorporating his achievements by
becoming the interpreter and hlsto-
rian of the political creed he brought
10 power.
Jndaunted by the almost superhu-
man exertionS and responsibilities or
his unusual position, the premier has
found time and energy to contribute
TO the political monthly, Gerarchla
fIierarchy), which he founded, two
carefully written articles, explaining
the Fascist conceptions of the 1872
revolution and of the new labor
union.
Background Surveyed.
The articles, apparently the initial
ones of q series, each militant and
Controversial in tone, survey the his
toricaI background of the subject mat
ter, justifying the Mussoltnian point
Of, view, and aggreSSiyely point out
how the 1922 revolution and the Fas-
cist labor union can be used as wea-
pons in the struggle to fascistize Italy.
Writing on the labor unions organ
lied by his party, Mussoini argues
they are different from those in all
other countries in two respects: they
accept fully the idea of Fatherland,
rejecting any internationalism which
implies political adherence or class
fealty breaking through national boun-
daries, and they consider. capital not
as an element to be suppressed but as
one to be liberated and strengthened
for the benefit of the Fatherland.
Supporting the thesis that Fasctsm
came into power by a revolution and
is now defending itself as a revolu-
tionary government, the premier as
serts that the two years before the
now famous March on Rome" con-
stttuted a war between Fascisn and
the government then in power. An
swering the objection that the march
on Rome was parliamentary coup
d'etat, Mussolini maintains that it was
an insurrection. adding that a revolu-
ton does not necessarily coincide with
its most important insurrectional acts
Which, he declares. is but a single
moment of the revolution and often
not the first one. If the Fascist revo-
luton were comparatively bloodless, it
was merely because the government
in power realized it would have been
folly to resist.
The premier concludes his survey
with plea that Fascists realize the
possibilities and necessities of the rev.
olution, that they keep ever in mind
the need for defending it and using
if militantly against it's opponents who
are hence not merely peaceful parlia-
nlentary enemies but traitors and sub
versives.
