DETROIT CHURCHES
 MAKE EXPLANATION
Board Of Commerce Replies and
 Makes Criticism

Detroit. Oct. 29-The Detroit council Of churches was criticised for dragging into the public press'' the quarrel precipitated by the invi- tation of labor leaders to deliver pulpit addresses during the recent convention of the American Fedora ton of Labor in a brief statement issued here today by the Detroit board of commerce. The statement follows:
 If any individual church member is interested in the facts concerning our controversy with the American Federation of Labor such facts are readily available at the office of the Detroit board Of commerce. We see no reason why such a controversy should be dragged through the pub lie press"
 The commerce board statement followed action of the church coun- cil last night in making public a statement declaring industrial organ nations were carrying on a cam paign of coercion and intimidation against Detroit ministers for ex- tending the invitation to labor lead CTS.
 The alleged campaign was brand ed as sinister attempt to domi- nate the pulpits of Detroit" in the statement and number of acts cited which were termed unpleasant forms of pressure" brought to bear on the churches.
 The controversy had its inception in the issuance of a number of invi- tations to the labor leaders and their subsequent withdrawal by church officials and directors Of the Y. NJ. c. A. after representatives of the employers associations demanded right to answer the labor speakers. Church officials explained rather than have such debates develop 1t was decided to cancel the invitations.
 The action of both the ministers and the employers associations were denounced on the floor of the feder- ation convention where speakers charged that the real reason behind the cancellation was threats of busi- ness organizations to withdraw pa tronage from the institutions.

MUSSOLIM GIVES
 MPASSIONED TALK
Lectures FaSCiStS in Roman
 Coliseum

Rome, Oct. 2s Outstanding on 1 the rostrum of the Colosseum in which Roman emperors in olden gladiators and savage beasts, Benito Mussolini, the fascist premier, has given an Illuminating account Of ! fascist statecraft. Il Duce lectured his blackshirts like a schoolmaster and spurred them to new efforts, which he said were deemed neces- sary to attain the goal set by the fascist revolution.
 The occasion was the fourth an- niversary of the fascist march on Rome, which gave Mussolini dicta- torial power In Italy. Hundreds of thousands of persons thronged the amphitheater to listen to Mussolini.
 The premier saluted the youth of Italy as the army of the morrow, trained to carry on to a finish the task facing the new generation.
 Tt is idiotic," he declared, ito decry the regime of fascism as hav- ing produced an oligarchy with a cruel and mysterious tyrant at it's head. It is equally absurd to ac- cuse fascism of being an unpopu- lar regime and an enemy of the working class. The truth is that in Italy only since 1922 has anyone heen able to speak Of the regime of the people.
 The premier added that the fourth celebration of the march on Rome found the fascist government in a formidable position of power in the country and with prestige through out the world. The fascist regime was now an impregnable structure. In the domain of social and eco- homie activities the work of fascism had been redeeming. In the fascist workshop there was a place for all who gloried in labor, for intellec- tuals, soldiers, peasants. in fact for all who labor energetically to con- struct a greater Italy, who work with ardor day by day, with stone upon stone. The premier urged his  hearers to consider and salute the victories of the yesterday for the victory of tomorrow.
 When Mussolini arrived at the Chigi Palace, his residence, from the Colosseum, another multitude had gathered and he was forced to appear upon the balcony and ad' dress his admirers.
 When fascism assumed power" the premier declared, some histor- ians and politicians studying social events claimed it was ephemeral. After four years, we have never felt stronger, more youthful, more de- termined than today. My watch word is: Continue; Fascism is in di- rect contact with the working class es. For the people who live in the state, all their rights are recognized, safeguarded and harmonized.
 q have nothing but praise for the people who have accepted the dis cipline imposed by fascism because they understood it was not the out come of individual caprice but born of deep necessity"

MISREPRESENTATION
 THREATS CONTINUE
Illinois People AnziOusly EQit
 Next Move in Fight

Marion, IL, Oct, 2s RSThree southern Illinois counties today won- dered what the next move would be in the latest demonstration of anil mostly between the Birger and Shel- ton factions, with reports current that Carl Shelton, one of the leaders, Arkansas and that the other of the trio was i'll at his home in East St. Louis.
 The death of two members of the Birger gang, the burning of a de- serted road house formerly frequent ed by the Birgerites, and the expul- sion Of the Sheltonites from Frank lin county by Sheriff Doris and States Attorney R. c. Martin were events that marked the trend of an anxious four days.
 Meanwhile Charles Birger. former United States army cavalryman, con- tinued with threats that his men were going to get the Sheltonites, while Carl Shelton was reported to have said that Birger's threats were the nonsense of a madman."
 Speculation and rumors' continued rife among residents of the three counties while four national guard officers resumed their tour of the battle front" and their conferences with peace officers. Lieutenant Col onel R. W. Davis of Carbondale, who has seen service in previous upris- ings in the territory, last night de- clared i've have no authority to make arrests here or to administer the law. We are here simply as ob- servers for the adjutant general"
 Major Joe Adams of West City. reputed to be a former headquar- ters of the Shelton gang, last night entered the picture in the role of a possible peacemaker. but with the threat that he also might become militant if necessary.
 I'm after peace, he declared. T am trying to keep out of this but Birger cannot drive me from the town I was born and raised in. He has forced ne to send my family away, but l will stay and guard my home"
 The statement, inspired by re- ported threat by Birger to leave l town within a week or get killed" brought about the assignment of two | deputy sheriffs to guard the Adams home. Adams admitted the presence | of Shelton gangsters at his home | prior to their expulsion yesterday.

TWO CEREMONIES
 AT ROYAL WEDDING
Catholic and Protestant When
 AStrid MaTrieS

Brussels, Oct. 2s Rl-The date for the wedding of Crown Prince Leo- pold to Princess Astrid. niece of the King Of Sweden. approaches. The royal wedding will take place be- fore the civil authorities in Stock holm next Thursday, while on No- vember 10 two religious ceremonies one Catholic and the other Protes- tant, will be performed here. This will be the first marriage Of a mem Der of the Belgian royal household for many years.
 All classes of the people have or ganized spontaneously a reception for the newly welded pair when they come to Brussels November 8.
 King Albert and Queen Elizabeth will leave for Stockholm tomorrow to be the guests of King Gustav un- til after the wedding. King Haakon and Queen Maud of Norway and the King and Queen of Denmark will at tend the nuptials.
 Up to the present the women have had to be content with unconhrmed rumors of what will constitute the trousseau Of the bride. In the royal household, from the members of the kings family down to the cham bermaid, everyone seems to regard the rousseau as state secret and refuses to satisfy feminine cravings for details.
 Belgium is intensely democratic and the fact that Leopold is marry ing for love into a family descended from a seif-made man--Napoleon's Marshal BernAdotte-has caused the to be viewed as family affair and not as dynastic move.
