Genoa was the scene of violent In

iealousies in trade have caused the
trouble. The chiefs in Rome are per
petuallv calling these dissidents to or

Another bone of contention is the
application of the syndicalist laws. an
exceedingly interesting experiment.
aiming at the abolition of strikes and
lockouts. AS can be ina agined. the ap-
plication of these laws to every phase
of life is no easy one. Friction be-
tween Fascists who are employers and
Fascists who are employed has al
ready become SO intense that the
grand Fascist council made it the
chief item on its June meetings pro
gram
The farmers question is the most
prick1y of all for the moment. Are
farmers who share the produce with
the farms owners on so per cent
basis employers or employed? Should
they ,loin labor syndicateS or landed
proprietors' syndicates? A world OF
controversy has arisen over this prob
lem.
Dispute Over Church.
Another point of friction is the at

ward Catholic professions. Where

in the sympathies of the local black
shirts the Catholics are respected.
But where they do not the Catholic
professions are worried and often at
tackled. The Holy See never fails to
protest. through the columns of the
Papal organ, L'Osservatore Romano.
But it makes no difference. because
Turatt is powerless against those who
think with Farinacci. deposed secre-
tary but their idol still. that clerical
ism should be kept within the church
precincts.
Yet one more cause for complaint
from the Holy See in the 'D'Annun-
zio affair" The Fascist government
has just decided to publish all the
poets works and to pay the author
! 900 900 lire for the copyright fabout
$40 .000). The announcement was i'm
mediately followed by a statement in
the papal organ:

this news, which will give immense
prestige and diffusion to the works

STOCKS STAGE
SHARP DROP

NEW YORK, April 12.-Indus-
trial stocks declined sharply at the
beginning of trading today. con-
tinuing the reactionary movement
which was in progress at Satur-
days close.
In the absence of constructive
business reports the continued de.
cline in commodity prices was the
principal factor in the speculative
market making for lower stock
values. Fishers index of com.
modify prices was down more than
q point to 1897. against 1877 in
january.
Bearish traders launched an at
tack on Hudson Motors in the first
period, and that stock declined
points TO a new low around Sc.

United States Steels forward
tonnage report for March was about
up to expectation, and the stock
sold within fraction Of Saturdays
close. The Independent steel stocks
were steady, but mercantile stocks
started q new slump which carried
prices near the low for the year.
Heavy selling OF the motor stocks
was resumed in the second hour.
White Motors, Studebaker, Hupp,
Page-Detroit, General Motors, Mack
Trucks, WHY'S Overland. Pierce Ar

steady downward movement OF
prices, in which losses ranged TO
about 3 points in the maximum.
With the exception Of Atlantic Re-

played q reactionary tone, though
