ROME, Jan. 9.-Hundreds of
Communists are now confined

Communist demonstrations are
daily increasing.
That the fascist violence is
striking not at the "Aventine

resistance, but at the Commun-
lists, whose influence is daily
growing. is shown in the numer-
Gus acts of violence against the
Communists.
At Cinisella a huge crowd gathered
on the streets and sang 1.-THE Red

had been arrested. A street battle
occurred when fascist fired into the
crowd, and many were wounded.
At Castelnuovo, near Reggie Emilia,
the head of the local fascist, attacked
Communist, who defended himself
with a knife, fatally wounding the IA
scist bandit.
A manifesto issued by the opposition
declares that Premier Mussolini has
not yet free himself of grave charges,
and that an election now would insult
the intelligence of the nation, and
would be but another attempt of Mus

The opposition calls for MussoIini's

The Significance of the

This is potential enemy of work.

study Of the significance of the south,

The speaker will capably expose the
struggle which divides the most op.
pressed class, the poorest workers,

Exploiting classes. This struggle is
obscured by the real, yet less funda-

whites and the Negroes.
It may come as q new idea to some.

mad ARMAMENT
RACE SOON WITH
GREAT BRITAIN
Coolidge Plans a Nelu
Arms Conference"
Especial to The Daily worksr)


WASHINGTON, Jan. g.
Only the fact that the United
States is trying to get the most
powerful governments of the
world into another farms con-
ference" temporarily hats a
mad naval armament race with
Great Britain, it is stated in
official circles.
Coolidge and members of his
cabinet, Secretary Hughes in
particular, are manuevering for
the United States to play the
leading role in another "arms
conference"
This conference, the Coolidge ad-
ministration plans, will discuss means
of combating the increasing strength
of Communism thruout the world, the
foreign debts owed the United States,
enforcement Of the Dawes plan" of
enslavement Of weak nations, and the
extending of American markets,
Coolidge has declared It would be
"inadvisable for this government to
begin spending large sums on naval
armament at q time when another
arms conference is Just around the
corner; especially as 1t would force
the United States to enter the arms
conference laboring under a disad-
vantage.
Another reason for the temporary
lull in the armament race Is the all
lance between British and American
capital. AS Coolidge said, 1--WE are
not going to war with Great Britain"
meaning that there is at least temp
orary understanding between British
and American exploiters.
Representatives Fred Britten, re-
publican of Illinois is doing his utmost
to force an extreme militaristic policy
on the government. Britten announced
that he will press his demands for a
larger navy at the next session of con.
gress. Britten recently tried to stamp

program by setting up the cry Of the

MINNEAPOLIS HAS
TAKEN REAL step
FOR LABOR UNITY
BY G. skoglund.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-In our last
T. U. e. L. meeting were represented
some of the best working class ele-
hents in Minneapolis. Individuals of
the local |. w. w. were invited and
they responded enthusiastically. A
committee of four was selected to
visit next Thursdays meeting OF the
local |. w. w. for the purpose OF hay
ing them elect Tour members to effect
some plan OF unity between all left
wing elements In the local labor move
ment. II the same spirit be contin-
ued, It is no doubt but we are going
to effect unity OF our forces.
A program for the labor assembly
election was presented by the indus
trial committee OF the II. U. q. L. and
approved. Steps we're also taken that
committee will visit all Workers
Party branches outlining our indus
trial program, and also having every
member Of the party join their re-
spective unions.
The organized labor movement in
Minneapolis is In very weak con.
dition, and a campaign to arouse en-
thusiasm In the laboty movement Is
necessary. No campaign TO organize
the unorganized since the citizens al.
lance launched their famous open
shop drive, has taken place and as a
consequence, the organized labor
movement has lost its militancy that
II formally had.
A campaign TO organize the unor-
ganized is absolutely necessary and
such a campaign must be started in
the spring, and on such broad basis
that every worker will hear the call
TO action. Every party member must
become members of unions and give
their assistance in the struggles OF the
working clask

WASHINGTON, Jan. o.
One thousand and sixteen dis

hammered on the doors of con-
gress for beIated justice.
This battalion of cripples, with
their hundreds of war decora-
tons from all the allied gov
ernments, but little money for
food or medicine, sent a delega-
ton to plead for a enactment
of the Bursum bill granting
regular retirement pay to dis
abled emergency army officers.
All other officers who served in the
world war have long since received
this compensation as a reward for
their wounds. The handful who vol
unteered, received emergency COM

were dropped from the rolls alone are
excepted.
AS a result of the plea, Senator
bursum, republican of New Mexico,

The total cost Of the bill, Bursum
said, would be about 100000 a year,
