matter and brought in a verdict OF gul
appealed to the higher courts of the
state. No satisfaction was gotten
there. In the meantime John Buksa
has been sentenced to three months
in Jail and is due to go to prison in a
short time because there are tech,
nicalities which make it impossible to
appeal the case further.
The West Virginia red flag law,
which is the criminal syndicalist law
Of West Virginia, is indeed an inter-
esting statute. While it does not prov
ide as severe a sentence as other laws
of similar nature, it is all inclusive
Under it not the least vestige Of
workers rights remains IL the powers
that that be in West Virginia desire
to utilize the law. That the law will
be used again and again unless it is
fought against and killed, is quite a
possibility in view of the record Of
West Virginia in industrial disputes
Another state which has long re-
cord of prosecutions under the cri-
minal syindicalist law, as well as
other laws which can be utilized
against the labor movement, is the
state Of Pennsylvania. This coal and
steel state has to its credit no less
than sixteen cases, thirteen of which
are yet to be tried, two Of which re-
suited in convictions and are pending
on appeal, and in one Of which the
sentence has already been served
(Blankenstein.)
This state not only has the record
Of these sixteen cases, but of numer-
Gus deportations in the Palmer raids,
numerous arrests of individual after
Individual on one pretense or another
and a continuous terrorism applied to
every section of the labor movement.
The dark past Of Pennsylvania in
industrial disputes Is a matter of his
tory. The first conviction under the
Pennsylvania criminal syndicalist law
was that of BIankenstein who served
sentence.
The second group Of cases grew out
Of raid staged shortly before May
1st, 1923, all over Pittsburgh and on
the headquarters of the Workers
Party, on various pretenses. Number
GUS workers were arrested and held
on exorbitant bail. Finally, about nine
were indicted. They are yet to go on
trial.
"CrIme" to Belong to Workers Party
The third group Of convictions un-
der the Pennsylvania laws was that
Of a number of Farrell workers in the
steel town Of Farrell, Pa. Two OF
these were tried and convicted by the
same Judge who sat in the Blanken-
stein case. Four are yet to be put
on trial, two of these are not mem
bers of the Workers Party, which is
the crime" with which these men
are accused.
In all these cases in Pennsylvania
the department Of justice Of the U. S.
has been more than active. One OF
their experts" is used as witness
against the men. 1t is difficult to
tell what will finally be the outcome
Of all these cases, but the nature of
this law in Pennsylvania Is made
drastically evident by them.
In the next article on the survey
we will deal with the last group Of
cases, those taking place under the
Michigan law.

ROME, Italy, March 20.-Premier
Mussolini has endeavored to secure
England's help in an attempt to fur
ther the fascisti's imperialistic ambi-

is learned, has asked Foreign Minis

would be made with Italy to the ex-

The fascist argued that Italy's pop

are living In Northern Africa, and
pleaded to be allowed to build up "a
