AS WE SEE 1T

THE Chicago Tribune carried a
= front page story last Thursday, in
forming the public that Mussolini adj
dressed the chamber of deputies in
Rome and informed that respectable
body that it had no more to do but
twiddle its thumbs and take perma-
nent holiday. The galleries applaud
ed, we are told, and even the deputies
upon whom the sentence of political
death was pronounced, cheered the
dictator to the echo. The story occu-
pied almost column, the remainder
being taken up with little bulletin
in black face type, announcing that
the House of Morgan had granted a
$1O0,000.O00 loan to Mussolini. This
will enable Benito to put thru his lat
est edict, which completely disposes
Of whatever little was left of parlia-
mentary government.
sTHIS is a dictatorship with a veng-
= eance! The great majority of
those who read the capitalist press
may not understand why the million
aire-controlled government of the
United States was so generous in its
settlement of the war debt with the
Italian government while it haggled
like a junk peddler with France. It
is common knowledge that the financ-
ial situation in Italy was approaching
a debacle at the time Mussolinfs rep
resentatives came to Washington.
The alleged plot against the life of
Mussolini was merely a dodge on the
part of the fascist to create popular
sentiment in their favor until they
succeeded in averting the crisis with
the aid of American dollars. Need
less to say there was no plot, but the
fiction gave Mussolini the necessary
excuse to deliver crushing blows to
the opposition.
TINE fascist dictatorship, with its
4 futile program for the abolition Of
the class struggle under capitalism, a
dictatorship of the few over the many
makes no pretense Of showing respect
TO what our hypocritical scribblers
call the "Anglo-Saxon ideal of govern
ment." Yet the very same press that
suffers apoplectic fits over the rule of
the workers and peasants in Russia
looks benignantly at Mussolinis
bloody reign of terror. They may not
like Mussolini's methods but they are

SILK STRIKERS
INSIST UPON
full DEMANDS
Mill OwnerS Threaten
to MoUe Mills
Especial to The Daily worksr)


NORTH BERGEN, N. j., Nov. 90
Owners Of the HiIIerest Silk Mills an
nounce that they intend to move their
mills to North Carolina because OF
failure to beat the strikers into ac-
ceptanee of the multiple loom system.
A strike has been going on for a
month, with the workers standing
firmly against the proposed introduce
ton Of the three and four-loom sys-
TEN. The threat to move is an old
hoax that is always used in silk
strikes, following the example OF the
Patterson silk mill owners who al
ways threaten to move when they
cannot beat the strikers. But the Pat
terson mills are still where they were.
The gesture is made in order to
align the petty bourgeois, store keep
ers, professionals, boot-leggers, and
others on the side of the mill owners.
Priest Horns In.
Leonard BIZ getti, a priest OF the
Roman catholic church of our lady OF
Liberia, called a conference Of the
owners and the strike leaders to try
to befuddle the workers into accept
ing the bosses terms. Albert Weis-
bord, leader of the strikers who has
been arrested twice in the struggle on
charges of "disorderly conduct" and is
out on bail while the Jail sentences
imposed upon him are being appealed
to higher courts, was the chief spokes-
man for the strikers at the conference
called by the priest.
The priest, while defending the IN
terests of the manufacturers, tried to
cloak his real mission by telling the
strike leaders that many of the
strikers were suffering and for that
reason he interviewed to end the
strike. This is a typical jesuit at
tempt to endeavor to create dissen-
ton in the ranks of the strikers, some
of whom are still under the illusions
of religious superstition.
They should tell this priest that the
question of conditions in the mills,
hours and wages Of the workers are
something entirely aside from his
speciality and that he should confne
himself to his business and leave the
strikers settle their own affairs with
the bosses.
Won't Yield to Bosses.
The employers offered $S5 per week
for men on the basis of individuai
contracts but insisted upon the mui-
tiple loom system. The proposals
were presented to a mass meeting Of
the strikers yesterday and they un-
animously refused to consider it, re-
jecting it by an overwhelming vote.
When the rejection was reported, the
owners said they would deal no fur
Their with the strikers and would re-
move the mills.
These threats to move mills, and
their occasional actual removal are
possible because of the unorganized
condition of the textile industry.
Where organized at all the unions are
merely of local character and there
has not yet been created an organiza-
tion capable of uniting the shreds or
movals can be met in but one man
ner-the amalgamation of the scat
tered unions into one body, forming
the basis for a powerful drive TO
unionize the whole textile industry
of this country.

Among the various actions of the

the adoption Of the sliding scale" al

limitations and dues within certain
limits, to conform with the conditions
of the industry and circumstance;
also the removal Of the clause limit
ing officials tenure of Office to one
year. All this goes to referendum of
