MUSSOLINI and
POPE OPPOSED
IN own RANKS


ROME, Italy, Jan. 1.-THE two die
tators of Rome, the pope and Musso-
Hni, are having difficulties. Since the
pope lost temporal power and as An
tonic Labriola said "consoled himself
with assuming infallibility," he has
been striving to get back into Eu-
rOpean diplomacy. Mussolini is not
unsympathetic toward this desire as
he feels that his regime needs the
aid of the catholic hoodlums of Italy
who crawl before the pope.
Pact Hits Rocks.
1t seems that this scheme is not as
successful as the two dictators de-
sire, so Mussolinis paper, the Populo
d'Italia, claims that zone ungrateful
cardinal" has constantly hindered ef-
forts of a impeachment between fas-
cism and the vatican
Incidentally Farinacci, secretary of
the fascist party, has been hostile to
the move and so Mussolini finds him
self in a dilemma which forces him to
the pope. While gaining much need
ed support from the papists, he may
lose the left section of the fascist.

BILL PROPOSES
COOLIDGE FIX
MINERS WAGES

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. IT,
President Coolidge coyly remarks that
he is "powerless" to do anything in
the anthracite strike situation, with
! the idea Of getting definite grant of
power to wage open warfare on the
miners union, just as he did in the
policemens strike in Boston which
boosted him into the nmelight.
To forward this general movement
along, Senator Copeland of New York
Saturday introduced measure,
which, after being blocked by fill
buster he followed with a stronger
one after withdrawing the first one.
Administration leaders did not like
the first measure, which merely called
on Coolidge to take steps" to end
the strike. The administration lead
ers wanted empowering resolutions il
they wanted anything at all. So some
old guards and some democrats talk
ed to death" the first measure, and it
was withdrawn at 2 o'clock.
At once Copeland sponsored a Joint
resolution giving the president the
authority to seize the anthracite
mines during the strike, operate them
until June 1928 and during govern
ment operation to fix prices, profits
and wages. The sum Of $4,000, 900
was authorized by the bill to carry
out the seizure and operations. The
bill was referred to the senate COM
mittee on labor.

They all suffer the same rotten unsani-

Of the packers greed for more profits
and because of this, their interests
are one.
BY allowing the company-paid spies,
and company-subsidized newspapers
to keep the workers divided, the work
ers allow the packers to wax fatter

more and more. The workers in the
packing house industry must unite in

FOR CRITICISM

! MANILA, P. l., Jan. 17-Protest is
unning high in the Philippines as a
esult Of Governor General Leonard
Woods latest outrage, the arrest of
Manila City Councilman Antonio D.
Paguia. Senior Paguia was sentenced
TO two months in prison for venturing
to criticize the governor general
Lese Majesty.
"This is Philippine autonomy I'M
der the Jones act!" a prominent Fill
ipino nationalist remarked bitterly in
an interview here today. "Just as
it is high treason for a native Of
India to say anything disrespectful of
the British viceroy or the king-em-
peror, so it is prison offense in the
Philippine islands to impugn the
motives, integrity or capability of
Uncle Sans imperial representatives.
We have had enough of autonomy
Nothing less than complete and i'm
mediate independence can satisfy the
Filipino people"
Senior Paguia criticized Gen. Wood
in the course of a political campaign
speech. This was at time when the
governor general had committed a
whole series of acts directed at the
continued enslavement of the Philip
pine islands, which have become the
favorite prospect for. Wall Streets

Only few weeks ago Gen. Wood
vetoed the bill passed overwhelming

issue of immediate independence. 81

LEGATION of President Coolidge's mes
sage to congress, advocating still
greater and more arbitrary powers for
the governor general.
It is becoming more and more evil
dent that the United States congress
will never grant independence on the
mere petition of the petition of the
Filipino people and that revolution
airy independence movement is need
ed. A movement for the organization
of Filipino section of the All-Amer-
lea Anti-Imperialist League has al
ready been started here.
The Paguia case has resulted in a
great intensifcation of nationalist
feeling. Protest meetings are being
held everywhere. There is no doubt
about the fact that the arrest of the
Manila City councilman, carried out
under pressure from General Wood,
is direct challenge to the nationalist
movement.

THE one oasis in the arid reaction
l. airy desert of Montana, is Sheridan
county, where the workers and farm
ers elected a farmer-labor party adj
ministration. No sooner did the new
administration assume Office than
they turned the spotlight of publicity
on the old party grafters who preced-
ed them. So raw was their conduct
that even a capitalist court was COM
PEELED to convict them. But tho down,
they were not entirely out Sheridan
county could not withstand the re.
dictionary forces of the rest of the
state. The reactionaries are always
busy. They know the value Of organ
ization. They were determined to
"get" the farmer-labor administration
of Sheridan county.
THE blow has fallen, according to
L the latest issue of the Producers
News, published in Plentywood. 1t ap.
pears that the reactionary tools of the
bankers at the state capitol in Helena
sent in stoolpigeon to Plentywood
in an effort to compromise Sheriff
Salisbury and county Attorney Erick-
son. Those two officials made things
hot for the confidence men who had
been preying on the farmers for years.
! They were bound to seek revenge.
What the exploiters are doing is,
striking at the farmers, by trying to
frame Salisbury and Erickson. I'm
der the present regime, the producer
could hold his head up in Sheridan
county, but the grafters, whether op-
Grating under the cloak Of legality or
merely as plain burglar, was on the
defensive.
THE workers and farmers of Sheri-
4 dan county must stand behind
their elected officials who are being
prosecuted because they were loyal to
their interests. II Salisbury and Erick-
son, were willing to play into the
hands of the mortgage bankers, there
would be no government stoolpigeons
on their trail. When the farmer-labor
ticket went over in Sheridan county,
that should have been the moment to
start a statewide campaign TO whip
the rest OF the state into line for the
program Of class political action. We
believe the Sheridan county produc.
ers have that object in view. If they
put their shoulders to the wheel and
organize, they will be able TO thwart
their enemies and defend the leaders
who remain faithful to their trust.
