AMERICAN IN FIGHT

ROME, April 2S.-4A descendant of
two Presidents of the United States

have to remain there for 10 days until
he is brought up for trial.
He is John Adams Abbott OF Boston,

to his hotel and invited him out for

dence in entering the Vatican Garden.

Colored eye.
Abbott is on a tour of Italy with
his mother, Mrs. Grafton st. Loe.
Abbott readily admits that he pol

Denies Mussolini Slur.
He denies, however, a more serious
charge placed against him by the de-
feated man This is in effect that he
used derogatory remarks against
Premier Mussolini. Conviction for
ment calls for imprisonment. Abbott
asserts that the accusation is an at
tempt to frame" him.
Thus far the American embassy and
consulate have been unable to secure
the release of Abbott from the Regina
Coeli prison. 1t is thought there will
be difficulty in doing this because of
the physicians report of AStrologo $
injuries.
The trouble between Abbott and AS
trologo began when Astrologo, act
ing as guide for tourists. pushed
in ahead Of Abbott at the ticket win
dow to the Vatican Garden. Hot words
were exchanged. AStrologo declared
that he was a Fascist Italian and as
good as any American. He requested

Monday night, Astrologo. accom-
panied by several men, went to the ho-
tel and invited Abbott out Abbott
readily assented. They went to the
sidewalk for the fray. 1t was a saw
age battle. When it was over, an am
bulance was called to convey the
thoroughly beaten AStrologo to the
hospital. Carabineers came up and to
them the Italian made the accusation
that Abbott had uttered insulting re-
marks about MuSSolni Despite his
protest that the guide had invented
the charge in order to avenge himself,
Abbott was taken to Jail
The Italian judicial authorities in
formed the American consulate this
morning that Abbott must remain in
Jail until his formal Interrogation to-
morrow or Friday. They promised to
facilitate this formality as much as
possible. Afterward the question of
granting him provisional liberty will
be discussed.

WAGES ARE RISING,

Labor Bureau Reports Fairly
Constant Gains in Pay Re-
Ceived by Workers.

reau, Inc, an organization engaged
in conducting economic research FOR

continue at a fairly constant rate.
The same number of gains were re-
ported this November as last. The
only significant factor in the scale
changes noted was that for the first
time the building crafts did not bulk
large in accretions to pay. Only two
increases were reported for all con-
struction workers throughout the
country. Transportation employees,
on the other hand, were granted more
increases than in any other month
this year. The printing trades, as
usual, report more advances than
other groups.
Average earnings are also on the
increase; all October reports register
ed gains except in Massachusetts.
where there was a one-half Of l per
cent decline, due primarily to losses
by silk goods workers. For the coun-
try as a whole October saw gains
ranging from l to per cent, which
brought weekly wages to a level
from to 8 per cent in advance of
last year at this time.
Real wages have increased even
more with an increasing weekly pay
envelope. Smaller outlays were need
