that piece 20 years ago should have
used the definite article instead of
the indefinite article, in predicting

of the coming commission, which pro-
posed an amendment to the building
law permitting only so families to the
acre instead of rs at at present.
Under the present law, 1900 people
may be packed into one city block, the
commission, under Albert B. Andrews,
charged. The proposed amendment is
aimed particularly at speculative
apartment builders who are taking adj
vantage of the old law by erecting
apartments with only three foot yards
in front and only five foot yards in
the rear.
The city council is expected to act
on the proposal within the next fort
night.

Anti-Strike Bill Now
Law in Australia

MELBOURNE-(FP)-The crimes
bill, which seeks to outlaw striking
unionists and revolutionary organiza-
tons, has become law in Australia.
Under this measure the Communist
party is classed as an unlawful asso-
citation and can be suppressed at any
time, while members of the party not
born in Australia can be Jailed and
deported. Those born in Australia can
be jailed. The bill also declares GER
tain strikes to be illegal and makes
unionists on strike subject to the
same treatment as members of the
Communist party. Even Britishers
can be deported under this law.
1t is certain that threats of jail and
deportation will not deter the work
ers from strike. At largely attended
conference of industrial unions, held
at Sydney Feb. 20, it was decided to
resist the crimes bill, particularly
those clauses outlawing the Commun-
lists and unionists on strike. 1t was
also decided to get in touch with in
dustrial bodies in the other Austria
liam states to institute continent-wide
opposition to the measure.

Politicians and Trade
Unionists Contend for
Labor Party Mastery
BY W. FRANCIS AHERN.

SYDNEY-(FP)-The annual con-
ference Of the Australian Labor party
will be a bitter fight between the par
liamentary wing and the trade union
lists for control of the executive, which
directs the movement between con-
ferences. Three years ago the poll
ticians secured control by the cry that
the movement had been fouled by a
coterie of crooks. They entered upon
a campaign of expelling Communists
and others.
1t wasn't long before the workers
saw that the movement was more cor
rupt than ever. Last year, when the
opposition to the politicals was par
ticularly strong, they refused to hold
the usual conference.
This year the unionists have issued
a manifesto to the unions affiliated
with the Australian Labor party, point
ing out the rottenness of the present
political control. At an industrialist
conference in Sydney Feb. 20 attended
by delegates of most Of the unions
steps were taken to regain control
of the labor movement.
At the coming conference the union
lists should win. If this happens labor
will develop along left-wing lines.

Italy Increases Navy
in Preparation for War
Especial to The Daily wOrker)


ROME, April S.-Italy, in spite of
its poverty, is headed under the fas-
cist regime for participation in the
armament struggle. In accordance
with Mussolini's ambitious scheme for
restoring the country as a great
power, there are being constructed at
Leghorn for the navy two light
cruisers displacing 10000 tons each,
the limit in size allowable by the
Washington conference Of 1922.
Twelve submarines are being built,
of 1,40O tons each. These will have
speed under water of ten miles an
hour and on the surface, of 1917 miles
an hour. Four destroyers with a speed
Of thirty-five miles per hour are I'M
der way at Naples and Odero, re-
spectively. Eight others, with a speed
of SO miles on hour, are being built
at Odero and Genoa.
Getting Ready for Coup.
Inasmuch as Mussohni aims partic-
ularly to establish Italy's power in the
Mediterranean, these additions to her
navy are significant. Along with the
fascist reorganization and strengthen
ing Of the army, it means that the
dictator is getting ready for a spec
tacular coup OF some kind.

Fishermen Have Hard
Job to Find Work

MONTREAL-(FP)-The fishing in
dustry, probably the Oldest occupation
in human history, is showing the eff
fects of modern industrialism in COM
mon with its younger rivals. In Can
ada in 1900 capital investment of
$1O,OOO,OOO and 99,269 persons pro-
duced a fish harvest from the seas
and lakes valued at S21, 100000. In
1928 a capital investment of $48,-
100000 and $4,000 persons produced a
fish harvest valued at S42,5OO,O00.
Capital in improved fishing craft and
implements increased nearly times,
and the product was practically
doubled. But the labor required was
greatly reduced.
Two centuries ago France sent 500
fishing vessels and about $4,000 men
to the Grand Bank. Last year rs
steam trawlers and half dozen sail
ing vessels from France captured
nearly as many fish.

under one head 119 steamers (mostly
lake and st. Lawrence and some ocean
boats), several ship building plants
and a grain elevator. The merger will
control nearly half the Canadian boats
in the lake grain trade and practically
all the boats employed in the st. Law
