with US in large majority. Among the
textile workers we are gaining
strength every day and with the metal
workers too. Our paper IL Sindacato
Rosso advocating afiiliation with the
Red Trade Union International has a
circulation OF $4,000 weekly, which is
one-third more than the official organ
Of the Confederation of Labor. We
have 1000 party members in Milan
and the way they do the hard work
of the party-meeting in small groups
In homes, in church domes, in the
woods conducting propaganda and
all in danger Of arrest and imprison-
ment is more inspiring than great
mass meetings and enthusiastic ad-
dresses. There are 10000 members in
the International Red Aid here"
Many In Prison
As to the question sometimes
raised by American workers as to why
the Italians have endured Mussolini's
repression 80 long Serrati replied:
"One must consider the terrific
measures Of suppression that have
been used by the fascist. Three or
four thousand of our most militant
workers are in prison. More are going
in daily to remain for several months
and then to be discharged with no
charges preferred More than 5000
have been killed as ruthlessly as one
would butcher cattle. Many thousands
have fed the country to France and
elsewhere. In many country districts
a man suspected Of anti-fascisti prin-
ciples is informed not to leave his
own house after dark. He knows what
it means II he disobeys.
There was time when men exer-
cised their right to defend themselves
and their homes from attack but it
was soon found that the law had no
protection for them. They went to
prison for long terms like common
murderers. In the three years Of
fascist control, to quote figures from
their own paper only $50 OF their
members have been killed. Under one
Of Mussolini's laws, men enlisting in
the black shirt army have had their
previous criminal records wiped clean.
Thousands Of criminals and hooligans
seized this opportunity to take an i'm
munity bath and to have a new pre-
text for their lawlessness.
Breakdown Of Socialists
"Then we have had years of propa-
ganda of social-democratic pacifism,
with unions disrupted, co-operatives
destroyed and all organization almost
at standstill, has left the worker
with no guiding philosophy that fits
this situation. To1the clear thinking
trade unionist and peasant in such a
dilemma our program comes with COM
polling force"
Continuing, Serrati said, "The aven-
tine block affords an example both
of the indifference Of most OF the anti
fascist opposition and of the trend in
our direction. There you have con-
glomeration of elements under various
parties names, liberal, socialist. re-
formist, catholic, republican, social
democratic etc. only1 held together
by their opposition to Mussolini. Many
of these same elements welcomed the
fascist when they first came because
they wanted labor curbed. When, in
the days following the exposure Of the

Metal Strike Significant
According to Malatesta, the Com
munists are fully prepared to take ad-
vantage Of the widespread dissatis-
faction among the workers over the
increase in the cost Of living coupled
with continued low wages. The strike
Of 100000 metal workers in northern
Italy called by the fascist union which
promised to extend itself to other sec
lions Of the country and involve many
thousands more was quite significant.
A movement was under way even be-
fore the beginning Of the strike to
set UP agitation committees in the
factories supplementing the bona-flde
trade unions. Where employers had
declared themselves against recog-
nizing either the fascist trade unions
or the socialist unions, but in favor
Of dealing with their own employees
direct an opportunity was given for
building real militant shop commit
tees.
Among the peasants, Malatesta said
that it was the Communist program to
organize federation of the small
proprietors, men tilling small patches
of their own, whose interest lay in
lower taxes and better prices and to
organize separate federation for
wage earning landworkers who were
at the mercy Of the big landlords with
out organization. The two declarations
would be affiliated together for the
solution Of common problems.

two purposes in view in making this

these is the rehabilitation of former

MAKERS STAND BACK
OF RADIO OFFERINGS
Guarantee of Service to Buyer Is
Feature of Newer Re
ceiving Sets.

An outstanding feature OF the Fall
offerings of radio receivers noted in
the East is the extent to which the
manufacturer this year is standing
back of his product and guaranteeing
service to the purchaser.
With few exceptions. the larger
radio manufacturers and distributors
apparently have checked up on their
dealers and are doing business only
with those merchants who Will guar
antee to provide the purchaser serv
ice for his set as long as he sees 1t.
This Is very different from the hap
hazard method of sales which flour
ished at the outset of the radio boom.
when dealers knew little more about
the inside of the sets they sold than
did the buyers.
previous methods of sales is seen in
advertisements of sets which are
guaranteed to get the Pacific Coast"
or which are boosted by other eXtrava-
CANT claims. On the whole the radio
advertising that is making its way
into print this year is extremely con
servative, stating little more than the
type Of set, the quality of workman
ship, the design of the cabinet and
the price.
From the prevailing prices of the
new models of standard sets and the
extent to which advance sales are
being made, there is reason to believe
that the Overstocked shelves Of last
Spring have been pretty we'll wiped
out during the Summer months.
