fascist MAKE
new ACADEMY
MEANS OF RULE
Also Plan Control of
Italian Youth ~ \

ROME, Jan. 4. - The Italian cabk'
net of Mussolini has deereed the Gre
alton of Royal Academy to be mod
eled after the French academy. How
fascism means to use this institution
may be seen in the fact that it will
be literally supplied with finances
and other means to function, which
will include subsidizing individual ar
lists, scientists, writer's, inventors,
and the intellectual class generally.
Moreover, the academy will control
local academies, and the ministry OF
public instruction will be closely al
lied with the academy's work.
Another instrument for fascist con-
troll is seen in the establishment to-
day by cabinet order also of ma
tional organization for assisting the
physical and moral education Of
youth"
The intention is to coordinate men,
tai, physical and religious training
under fascist auspices until boys are
old enough to enter the fascist
militia

It was back in 1895 that the board
of education promised the students

Now in 1925 they are still promis-

At the present time we have 30 to 40
in class and not few of our
rooms are absolute fire-traps which
have been condemned time and time
again by the fire inspectors, but moth

There are more than 5000 boys at
Lane, which was intended for not
more than 1000. We have a lunch
room so dirty and the food so expen-
sive that the boys who buy their lunch

America, employed at the Woodward
Colliery and Kingston Coal company
No. and 4 colheries assembled in a
joint membership meeting at Pauxitas
Hall, Edwardsville, called by local
union officials of the three unions.
Priests Dodge Miners.
The purpose of the meeting was to
compel two priests residing in that
neighborhood, who were signers to
the bosses proposal made public last
week, to explain their action before
the union miners who constitute the
bulk of their churches. Prior to the
meeting one of the sainted hypocrites
announced he would attend the meet
ing but would not apologize for his
actions. The other bible FOUNDER was
reported to have been taken Clip an
hour or two previous to the meeting.
Meanwhile, scores of local unions
and general committees thru out the
on the action of the priests in lining
up with the bosses. Practically every
local union in the Wyoming Valley
adopted resolutions condemning them.
Local Union 1888 last night declared
"if they would mind their own bust
ness they would have plenty to do"
A thousand miners assembled in
Larksville took similar action yester-
day.
Thousands Hungry.
The soup lines broaden. Another
has been opened in Mahoney City.
Eighteen families were fed the first
day. The Children's Welfare Service
reports in eight days activity they
have fed 4,SOS miners children, a
daily average of COL, in addition to
the case of whole families taken care
Of.
+ Some old maids organization in the
Shenandoah section is reported to be
collecting food and clothing for the
miners and their families. Needless
to say, if true, this action of the spin
sters will be appreciated by the
miners in their fight against the bos-
ses.
Yesterday a small operator in the
Dunmore region attempted to move
some mine machinery assisted by sew
eral men. They were attacked by a
crowd of workers and in the mixup
the operator and his assistants were
badly beaten. Today the same coal
operator moved his machinery, as
sisted by a detail Of state police.

The population of the Soviet Union
owing to losses Of territory as a re-
suit of the war, was n per cent OF
that Of the Russian empire of 1913.
During 1926 industrial production is
expected to equal the figure for 1913.
Grain Crop Increase
The gross grain crop for the year,
estimated at between 2,70O,000, 900 and
$500, 100000 bushels, showed an in
crease OF 35 to 40 per cent over the
crop OF 1924. The technical crops,
cotton, fax, hemp, oil seeds, tobacco,
sugar beets, etc, showed increases of
from so to 100 per cent.
The foreign trade turnover for the
fiscal year, European frontiers only,
was 1857, 470, 900, with an unfavorable
balance for the year OF $4,000, 900 due
to the cessation of grain exports fol.
lowing the poor harvest OF 1924. The
turnover increased 3S per cent over
that OF 1924 and was about half the
turnover for 1918. The feature OF the
year in foreign trade was the rapid
rise in imports from the United
States.
Imports From U. s. 80 Per Cent.
Imports from the United States
formed 32 per cent OF all imports,
standing first on the list Their value
was s1O2,OOO,OOO. In 1913, 4S per cent
Of the imports came from Germany
and less than per cent from the
United States.
Oil exports for the fiscal year broke
all records. The total was 1898, 900
metric tons, as per cent greater than
the exports for 1918. ''o'A

This would forbid allsthe picketing

Party, which picketed the White
House to secure woman suffrage. and
which might attempt to picket the Of
flee of cabinet officer. Blanton's bill
provides fine of $50 to 5000 or five
to 80 days in Jail as penalty for VIC
lation; the administration measure
makes the minimum fine $40 but
would permit 60-day jan sentence.
Picketing is defined as seeking to
influence any person, by crying out or
proclaiming, from entering any place
of business, and lettering in front Of
any such place while showing any
card, banner, button, badge or trans
parency for the purpose Of influencing
anyone from business patronage or
business visit.
Why Not Picket This Commission?
The Coolidge commissioners accept
this Blanton bill which is in effect a
repeal of the Clayton law as regards
the right of peaceful picketing. They
merely expand it to cover a repression
of all peaceful demonstrations which
would warn European governments Of
the resentment felt in America toward
their arbitrary treatment of minori-
ties.

Offset this move on the part of the
bosses, organization of the unorgan-

It. is high time that we got on the
job and got after our sleepy officers
who are too well fed to pay much at
tention to the daily struggle of the
workers and who for the most part
play the role of labor lieutenants for
the capitalist class.
Let our slogan be: Organization of
the unorganized. Organization ID the
strongest weapon in the hands of the
working class and the only way that
we will achieve our emancipation
from slavery from a class of master
parasites.

tect himself and his family against
the capitalists lust for profits.
This movement had its origin in a
similar movement that started in Phil
adelphia about eight months ago.
Gentlemen calling themselves the
Master Bakers Association of Phila-
delphia, tried to entice some of the
members of the International Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Union
No. 201. There are few susceptible
ones in every union. They got after
those giving them cheap whiskey and
cigars and promising them more wag-
es than the other workers. All in all
they managed to get together about 30
slaves. Each of the poor stiffs gave
a dollar piece to the bosses so that
he could put a chain around their
necks and lead them to the slave pens
under the guise of company union.
When the journeymen bakers learn
ed Of this attempt to undermine their
union, they called general meeting
and explained the situation to the
workers.
They pointed out to them that the
bosses are trying to take advantage
Of the unorganized workers and or
ganizc them into an army of workers
to use against the union workers.
After four months they gave up
their attempt to crush the union. They
gave up owing to the fact that they
could not get enough bakers to join
and that the men they did get could
not be compared with the men in the
union for work and production.
After watching the recent revival of
this movement on the part of the
bosses in our trade, began an in
vestigation and found that this ques-
ton is very serious. Just as long as
the union will not take steps to bring
the unorganized worker under the
protection of unorganized labor, this

In the final analysis the situation

One dollar q year is collected from

that this dollar bill from the pocket

Washingtonians, however. do not
particularly care what portion Of their
dollars goes to the cost of the permits

ticularly concerned about the vicious
precedent" A dollar a year seems
cheap enough to them and they realize
that the cost Of the card will never be
any cheaper. Besides these things,
they would rather have the money
used promptly for traffic improve
ments than to have 1t lie idle in the

court hearing, she was Immediately
given a prominent place In the news
through her attendance at a theatrical

entertainment" was, 1t is alleged. the
bathing of an unclothed chorus girl
in tub of wine, participants in the
party then. according to the tale.
malls of the details have been entered.
but the story stands, nevertheless.
Now the theater owners, through
| their association. have protested
against the admittance of this noto-
rious woman to the films. They in
clude all "publicitymade" persons.
They characterize the theater party
as publicity stunt" Keep the
countess, or any other publicity-made
person. out of pictures for the gen.
eral welfare of the industry" says the
president Of the organization. unless
they possess what film folk call ar
tistry."
This is wholesome sign. Unques-
| tionably there would be a rush to see
| this particular person III the movies.
for there are many people who delight
In the portrayal of notorious persons,
The picture might be a bad one, the
acting far below standard, and yet
there would for O short time be a pay
! ing patronage. But every time such
bid is made for popularity the mo-
ton picture industry loses ground, and
evidently the owners Of the theaters,
| whose organization has Just acted
| with commendable promptneSs, real
| ize that in order to hold the public
| support their houses must not be ex-
plotted for these occasional displays
of vulgarity and unwholesome noto-
| riety.
Motion picture audiences, as a rule.
! know good plays and good acting. A
| poorly constructed and a poorly acted
picture Will not win public support.
Steadily the standard Of judgment has
risen since the development Of this en-
! tertainment industry began, and 1t is
! gratifying now to find the owners of
the motion picture theaters. whose in.
! terests are equal to those Of the pro-
ducers and distributors, taking this
stand against the abuse Of the public
confidence through the exploitation of
| undesirable people. who have gained
brief meretricious notoriety.
