BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 2-Musso
IInl's despotle rule Of Italy is effect
ing shipments Of "scab" coal from Bal
tlmore and other North American
ports to smash the battle line Of Brit
aims miners.
Many Italian ships are carrying
"scab" coal to Italy and Britain thru
the dual alliance that has been made
between the capitalist masters of these
two kingdoms to crush the labor move
ment.
Sailors on these Italian ships and
on other ships from continental coun
tries. in scores of cases, have not
willingly "scabbed" on their British
fellow-workers.
Sailors of Italy and of Spain, an
other land ruled by capitalist dicta
tor, are forced into service on these
"scab" ships. Conditions on many OF
them, deserters say, are intolerable.
Appeals to Authorities.
When these vessels come to Balti
more and other American ports mem
bers of their crews desert them. Con
sular representatives of these and
other foreign governments have made
constant appeals to civic authorities in
Baltimore and other ports to round up
these deserters.
But the laws of this country are sup
posed to permit sailor to desert a
ship and remain ashore until such
time as he may find a job on another
foreign-bound ship. He can stay here
SO long as ne does not 90 to work
ashore or ship coastwise.
Captains, for this reason, do all pos
sible to shorten their stay in American
ports. Entrance and clearance the

gives less chance to men to deserr

mand. There were IL OF Is policemen
and gunner marching up and down
the stairs around the room.
One plain clothesman asked the
speaker what was going on. He was
told lecture. II he could get an
audience of working people. The
speaker went on the streets and tried
to get the workers into the hall.
Seeing the police force marching
up and down the stairs and around
the door, the workers would not come
In, but said they would vote for the
workers candidates on election day.
The only meeting that the speaker
could have was on the street with
about one dozen men.
The police force followed the
speaker to the station and saw him

motions for new trial, will confer

Thompson and Assistant District At
torney Dudley p. Ranney regarding
the bill of exceptions Thompson
wishes to file for state supreme court
action. The judge usually grants the
right to file such a bill without much
questioning.
Thompson's first exception is ito
the entire document entitled a de-
cision,' as containing misleading and
erroneous extracts from and summa-
ries of the affldavits; misconceptions
Of the scope, meaning and significance
Of some Of the affldavits, and an unfair
and partisan dealing with them; and
in general an unjudicial attitude of

Another Exception.

Another exception is taken to
Thayer's apparent refusal to rule on
the nine points raised by the defense
at the hearing on the last motion. An
unsigned document which may be the
judges ruling on these points has
been left with the clerk of court, but
cannot be called official An excep-
ton is taken to the judges ruling that
the defendants must prove their whole
case on the new motion. not merely in
dictate that there is sufficient evidence
to seriously question the original YER
dict. Thompson requested a ruling on
this point at the hearing, claiming that
the defense had only to show that
there was a considerable body of new
evidence which had not been passed
on by jury. Thompson takes excep-
ton to Thayer's declaration that the
Weeks and Madeiros' af1davits are
purely hearsay."

The simple Communist workers
showed such a Bolshevist capacity
for understanding the most important
questions of our policy, that they
were completely able to resist the
opposition and the unprincipled de-

Later he will go to the United States with Su- zanne under the management of c. c. Pyle.
 Ferets defection has made all the more of a stir in the tennis world because Of the fact that his father, Ernest Ferret, the treasurer of the Racing club of France, is one of the most ardent leaders in amateur sports.
 The reason advanced by Ferret for leaving the amateur ranks is to stop the denunciations and hypocrisy of "piebald" amateurs. Tn discussing pure amateurism' with newspapermen he sought to give the idea that purity was rather relative. He implied that most any star in one way or an- other profited by their playing through technically observing the rule. that govern amateurs.

 three tenders to Seattle for repairs. | W hen the citizens of Alaska pur-
 chase from agencies in the States, the pro-canneryites yell "patronize
 home industry" When the migra- tory prostitutors of our resources have any buying to do or repairing ] of boats they take it to Seattle. It would seem that Alaska has no me-
 charrics able to repair boats. It would seem that the Petersburg Ma rine Ways was not large enough to handle the jobs. Still we remember seing these same boats on the ways getting a coat of paint. Perhaps the Wrangeli boat shop is unable to do tie work At least they might be given chance to bid on the work
 Fourteen thousand for overhauling I two boats in Seattle. Fourteen ! thousand dollars turned loose in
 Petersburg in particular would
 mean more to Alaska than the same sum spent in Seattle.
 Fatronize home industry is just las applicable to cannerymen as to residents and would bring a better feeling between residents and the rackers if they were more fair in the consideration of the needs of re repident labor.
