KENOSHA, Wis, Nov 4.-Kenosha
which recently won the recognition of
being the most prosperous industrial
center in Wisconsin, is now over
crowded with an army Of unemployed.
Many mills are being operated part
time, while some are closed down in

there from other states, attracted by
the prosperity" advertisements.
Those shops that are running pay
so little that it is hard for even a
single man to exist on the wage
IF you don't like the wages, you
know what you can do about it,"
This is the reply Of the boss when
workers complain.
Kenosha's prosperity" has been
linked up with the fact that it is an
open shop" town. The bosses here
have kept the workers from organ
izing for longer than in any other
towns in the southern part of Wis

The jury of generals felt that to

MUSSOLINPS Debt
MISSION is IN NO
HURRY TO DEP ART
Volpi Says He Will Stay
to Finish

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER.)
WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-After an
hour and half passed yesterday in
preliminary discussion, the Italian and
American debt commissions have ad-
journed until tomorrow to give the
Americans time to study the "a mono
graphs submitted by the Italians.
The representatives of the bloody
Mussolini terror seem confident that
settlement will be reached. The
heavy investments of American
money in Italian securities indicates
that the favored capitalists have al
ready received assurances from both
governments that an agreement will
be reached.
American capitalism is deeply con-
cerned and is DESTROYS of aiding the
Mussolini government because 1t
hopes to win that nation against Great
Britain in the struggles for world
domination.
Third Largest Debtor.
Italy is the third largest debtor OF
the United States.
The theoretical total of the Italian
debt is $2,13S,54S,S52. Actually, the
negotiations starting today will re-
volve around a figure considerably
less. OF the gross amount s1,647,-
S69, 1913 represents principal, actually
borrowed. The rest is accrued inter-
est at 5 per cent. Following the prac-
tice established in the British, French
and other negotiations, this interest
charge will be substantially reduced.
In Italy's case it will bring the total
amount to below $2,OO0,00OO00.
Unlike Joseph Caillaux, the French
finance minister. who airily came to
Washington announcing he could stay
only ten days, and then departed at
the expiration of that period without
settling, Count Volpi, head of the ltal-
ian mission, stated today he was mere
ito stay until an agreement s
reached"

BRITISH ADMIT
They FOMENTED
PERSIAN revolt
Boast Of Girdling the
Soviets with Enemies

LONDON, Nov. 3--Now it is quite
openly admitted by boastful attaches
of the British foreign office that Brit
ish money and arms we're behind the
recent coup d'etat by which the
former premier of Persia, Ria Kahn,
now the new king, overthrow the
young shah, backed by the reaction
airy religious element and the equally
reactionary capitalists and landlords.
1t is also openly boasted that this
British engineered revolution in
Persia is only part Of far greater
and more menacing plot to girdle
Soviet Russia around with hostile gov
ernments preparatory to a probable
armed attack on the workers republic
at an opportune time.
British diplomats are greatly
pleased with themselves over the
Persian reactionary revolution which
they supported as the next best trick
in the anti-Soviet conspiracy since the
Locarno pact was supposed to have
won Germany to join the British
built alliance against the Soviet
power.
The British government are hopeful
that Tchitcherin, Soviet commissar of
foreign affairs, will even be rebuffed
by France when he visits Paris in a
week or two to talk over the old Rus
sian debt.

Capitalist Dictatorship at Work.
A campaign of misrepresentation
is being carried on thruout the coal

day in each city in the valley, scream
ing headlines are carried by the kept
press denouncing the progressive
miners and reds. The yellow papers
carry cartoons representing the pro-

Mines Filled With Gunmen.
Everything is practically peaceful
in the valley of hard coal at this
time. The authorities see to it thai
it may not be otherwise. In spite OF
this seemingly peaceful strike, the
coal owners have engaged armies Of
private guards to surround their
property. Some of the owners have
engaged as many as 120 private
guards, and these are guarding the
property, nosing around the cities and
making all kinds of inquiries among
the miners.
The question naturally arises, why

are the coal companies employing this
provocative force? Whom are they
directed against, and why? The
miners have ample proof from past
experience that this provocative force
of guards is placed there for the
same reason that guards were placed
in every striking district in America
when an attempt was to be made to
dig coal or load stock coal and ship
it to the market during strike.

Union Officials Don't Act.
Why has the union permitted union
men to wash and load coal during the
strike? This inferior coal is being
sold in Ne WORK City at $500 per
ton, an increase of 1000 since the be-
ginning of the strike. The miners are
now beginning to feel the pinch Of
hunger and discomfort, and concern is
plainly discernable with many miners
thruout the valley.
A state Of mind is developing in the
anthracite miners that brooks no i'm
portation of scabs, and the neglect of
the miners and their interests is be-
ginning to arouse their fighting spirit,
hence the stocking of the mine proper
ties with private gunner sanctioned
by the capitalist state.
