Macdonald Still Scores
 Government for Stand

London. May 19 LP) --- Ramsay Macdonald. the leader of the parlia- mentary labor group, speaking in be- half of the labor candidate at the Hammcrsmith byeelcction yesterday. attacked the government for break ing off negotiations which would have averted the general strike. He declared that Sir Herbert Samuel whose mediation eventually led to the calling off Of the strike, had of fcred his services 10 the government before the original negotiations be- gan, but his offer was refused.
 As 10 whether the general strike had been successful, Mr. Macdonald said; Was the position of the gov ernment after the strike the same as before the strike; Of course it was not, if Premier Baldwin at the end of the week before the strike had done what we asked him again and again 10 do, there would have been no strike at all. And he did it with in two days after the calling off Of the strike"
 As 10 the strike being revolution ary or Of a political character, the former labor premier declared that never for q single moment did the mon responsible for 1t play with political issues.

ITALIAN STATE NOW IS CHANGED
DenOCratiC-LiberalS Give Way to FaSCiStS, MussOIini Says

Rome May 19 LPp-The democra- lc-liberal state has been destroyed, 1 and in it's place rises the fascist state, declares Premier Mussolini in a proclamation 10 the fascist of Italy today upon the adoption of the new system of relationship between capital and labor.
 The cooperative organization of the state now is an accomplished fact Mussolini says in his procla- nation. The democratic-libe state, weak and agnostic. is no more; in its places rises the fascist state.
 For the first time in the history Of the world. a constructive reyolu- ton like ours realizes peacefully, in the field of production and work, in corporation of al! the economic and intellectual forces of the nation to direct them toward a common pur- pose.
 For the first time, a powerful system of great associations is created in which all positions are on the same plane of equality; all rec ognized and guaranteed in their legitimate and COnciiable interests by the sovereign state.
 To-day finally the people, work. ing in their various activities and categorics, dedicate themselves in the fascist state consciously and viz orously 10 their real destiny. Tho proof is decisive. Our faith is firm. We are certain the system will re- sst the hard test of experience.
 "Niyifed by your spirit. presided over by your discipline, the nation, compact around the fascist symbol, will constitute an undividable block of political. economic and moral energy.
 Black shirts raise your flags and celebrate with act, will and fidelity this day, which is one of the most glorious of our revolution"
 The Rome newspaper exult over the adoption of the new system, characterizing it as the final victor ious battle in fascism's war against the democratic state.
 DIpl' u INpllld o19 Ss AlNfI iiiF liberal English charter and after the French democratic code, the fascist law puts in concrete form the final ideal of history, the final type of re- organization and political ciVility."
 Some sections of fascism, notably the labor organizations which are superseded under the new regula- tions, indicate by remaining silent that they are not quite oyerioyed.
 In political circles it is viewed as a crushing victory for the nationalist element, represented by Minister of Justice Alfredo Rocco, who drew up the measure. over the syndicalist element represented by Edmondo Rossoni, who perfected the fascist labor organization and succeeded in cnlisting the support of labor for faSCiSTn

Hartford, May 19 OP) - In his annual address to the Grand lodge. Independent Order Of Odd Fellows, held here today, Grand Master AL fred L. Lilley recommended that the second Saturday Of June each year be recognized and celebrated as home day. He said that this day had been designated as grand mas ter's day by custom but he thought Inc term was misleading and often unjustiy interpreted.

 The grand master who retired at this convention, pointed out that the year had been one of prosperity and increased fraternal spirit. He believed that the problem was to iustill the thought. "Odd Fellow ship Is worth while" He suggested that the Odd Fellows could well afford to invest money and time in keeping desirable members in closer touch with their lodge and on mat ters of genuine interest to all fra tarnal men. He advocated a maga- zine 10 be fostered and promoted by the sovereign grand lodge in the interest of "publicity and more publicity" the words of the grand sire.
 Grand Secretary W. g. IIutchison showed by his report that the number of members at the close of the year was 29,114, a net loss of j25. The total assets of lodges were s1,712,63S. In the Rabekahs the membership was 4,699 broth CTS and 9.770 sisters. a total of 14.- 469 and a net gain for the year of 449.
 Grand Treasurer s. W. Challen- ger of Middletown in his report said that in spite of year of ex- ceptional expense the grand lodge had lived within its income and had q balance on the right side of ST.5S. The resources of the grand lodge in cash and securities amounts to s3,280.
 The grand lodge session was open cd in full form at 10 o'clock with prayer with Grand Chaplain Charles H. Smith of Granhy, Mass.
 A welcome to Hartford was cx- tended by Mayor Stevens. The husi- ness of the morning session includ- ed the nominations for the elective officers.
 Luncheon was served at 1 o'clock by the Capitol City Past Grands association.
 At the session this afternoon Leo Davis of Norwalk was elected grand master.
 Dorr R. Whitney of Bridgeport Past Grand Master William s. Hutchison of New Haven was re- elected grand secretary and Past Grand Master Sidney W. Challenger of Middletowu, grand treasurer.
