refugees on deportation warrants.
Many Italian workers have already
been deported to Italy. Only recently
Vincenzo Vacirca, formerly a deputy
Of the Italian chamber, upon whose
head Mussolini has placed price,
was threatened with deportation to
Italy. The menace of deportation is
still held over him by Mr.. Davis of
the department of labor.
Now Enea Sormenti, one of out
standing leaders of the anti-fascist
movement in the United States, has
been arrested at the direct instigation
of the fascist ambassador and is being
held for deportation into the hands
of Mussolini. To be sent back to Italy
means for Sormenti, as for his many
Italian brothers who have been de-
ported, certain Imprisonment, torture
or death!
THE department Of labor is acting
l. as the bloodhound and agent for
government which is looked upon
with adherence by workers in every
part of the world. Who does not know
the bloody record of fascism? Every
one is acquainted with it. Under
fascism in Italy, the life of the work
ers has become a nightmare Of terror
Their homes have been destroyed
Their families have been murdered or
broken up. The trade union move
ment has been wiped out and its or
ganization made illegal. Only the
fake, emasculated fascist labor, un,
ions" which are the instruments Of
the fascist bosses, are permitted. The
splendid cooperative movement of the
Italian workers has been demolished.
Not only the homes of the workers,
but their trade union and labor cent
ers have been burned down. Their
press has been made illegal and their
political organizations smashed Or
driven underground. Thousands of the
flower of the Italian working class
have been brutally murdered by the
fascist. Thousands more have been
tortured and imprisoned for long

audience the horror of this accident"
On that very day, in Brooklyn, three
little colored children had met their
death thru a fire in their tenement
home. These are only few Of many
such atrocities which are an every
day thing in the lives of the workers.
The following resolution was then
proposed to the meeting and unani-

"WHEREAS the workers of New

miserable tenements,. most of which
are so old that they do not conform
to the present housing laws and are
a menace to the lives and health of
the families in them, and

terms solely because Of their devotion
to the cause Of labor. Hours of labor
have been increased by fascist decree.
Wages have fallen. while the cost Of
living has gone up. No strikes for
improved conditions are permitted I'M
der Mussolinis rule, and the workers
know the frightful penalties that
await them if they dare to express
their organized power-or their opin-
ions.
Italy under fascism has become a
living hell for the workers and the
poor peasants. Every semblance Of
democracy" has been removed and a
naked capitalist dictatorship rules the
land.
NOV, fearful of the great and sup
L pressed power that is inherent in
the working class, Mussolini has taken
the most desperate measures to re-
move all possibilities of revolt and to
insure his tottering power New re-
pressive laws have been passed by the
fascist chamber of deputies. No oppo-
sition parties are permitted to occupy
seats in the chamber or in the senate.
These are reserved exclusively for the
fascist. Mussolini personally now ap-
points half of the members Of the
chamber A new series of arrests OF
workers and labor leaders has taken
place in every center in the country
Attacks upon workers are the order
of the day. Fascist raids upon the
remnants of the workers press take
place with renewed frequency. Italy
is swept by one wave of terror after
another.
The American labor movement has
made clear its position towards fasc-
ism and the rule of Mussolini. The
conventions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor at Portland and Atlantic
City passed resolutions denouncing
the rule of the blackshirts. The re-
cent Detroit convention of the A. F.
of L. reiterated this position. The
workers of America, of all shades of
opinion, are a united whole in their
opposition to fascism They recoil

would be more popular.
OF course Salutsky is Of the opinion

by less precocious people to the Rus

committed by the Communists of the

TN recent months the department of
labor of the United States has
tracked down number of Italian
workers who have fed their home
land and come to the United States.
Many of them have been in the fore
front of the struggle for liberation
from the iron heel Of Mussolini and
fascism. Among them are some of
the best representative of the suffer
ing people of Italy. They have fed
in desperation to the United States
since it means assassination instantly
for some Of them were they to remain
in the land of Mussolini any longer.
In the United States the ferocious
blackshirts of Mussonni cannot put
their prospective victims into prison
cells, to be tortured or murdered.
They cannot conveniently repeat the
assassination of Matteotti. But In the
department of labor Of the govern
ment of the United States they have
found a bloodhound to run down the
political refugees who have sought
asylum In America from the hang
men Of MussoIlni! The machinery of
the department is servilely placed at
the disposal of Mussolini. 1t is used
to run down these hunted workers, to
find some SUPERFICIAL pretext of false
entry, to destroy completely the tradi-
ton Of the right of asylum which the
United States has accorded to so
many distinguished rebels in the past.
This machinery, under the direction
of Mr.. James ]. Davis, the secretary
of labor, is being utilized to deport
workers who have been active in the
struggle against fascism in Italy and
its agents in the United States, to de-
port them to Italy to be turned over
to the bloodthirsty executioners of the
Mussolini dictatorship

profits of their hard labor to be stolen
by scoundrel and used for his own

have been introduced which were
greatly appreciated by Saturday

The actors were all workers, many

leading parts had had good deal Of
experience which was evident in their
excellent performance. But after the
