Cook Near Death Due to
Shipowners' Negligence

BOSTON, March TO- (FP) - The
case Of cook Charles Carlsberry, who
lies dying in Boston hospital, could
well be used as a text for preaching
trade union solidarity. The cook was
taken desperately i'll on board the
British freighter Hollypark, which was
one Of over a thousand British ships
allowed by the board of trade to sail
without wireless operator during the
recent strike of radio men. If young
apprentice on the ship had not known
enuf about a wireless set to send for
aid, the cook would undoubtedly have
died at sea from the shipowners neg
ligence. The British wireless oper-
ators fought vaIiantly to get better
wages and working conditions but
were defeated by the privilege extend
ed shipowners Of sending boats out
without Sparks" The radio boys
had almost no support from other
unions.

Baldwin Outlines
National Plan to
Electrify England
Especial to The Daily Worker,

LONDON, March 16.-Prime Min
lister Baldwin has formulated a pro-
gram for the building up of an electric
power distribution system on the basis
Of recommendations submitted by the
Lord Weir investigation committee.
The plan will be submitted to parlia-
ment.
The scheme provides for official
boards in various parts of the coun-
try that will supply electricity to au-
torized distributors but will not them
selves generate the power. A commit
tee will investigate the existing sta
tions to determine which of them are
equipped to generate power for the
boards. This committee will provide
also for Standardization of frequency
and inspect all trunk lines.
confiscating Property?
Stations refusing to accept the ar
rangements of the board will have
their property condemned at prizes
fixed by the boards. The boards are
also to have authority to build new
power transmission lines.

elected chairman. A strict party di-
vision, incidentally, also would give
him the deciding vote in electing the

ever, has it that the democrats would
vote for LaFollette, thus insuring his
election as chairman.
The committee will meet early next
week to organize and to arrange for
the opening of public hearings on the
tariff commissions activities. The de-
lay was occasioned by the absence of
Senator Reed, now on a health trip

TRUST
LOSES DEMAND
FOR INCREASE
Courts Pass Buck on to
Service Commission

NEW 1Ohh, Marcn lo.-lue OOLu
anniversary Of the first successful tel
ephone brought the New York Tele-
phone company denial of its demand
for 35.S per cent rate increase in New
York City and 17.9 per cent up state.
Organized labor protested against the
higher phone charges sought by this
subsidiary of American Telegraph &
Telegraph company, which controls
most Of the worlds phones.
Company Makes Large Profit.
The United States circuit court
ruled against the New York company's
plea after the city had presented a
brief contending that the company
made over the usual public utility rate
of per cent, that per cent would
not be confiscatory, that Z per cent
was the public service commission al
lowance, that the company had taken
already $11O,OOO,OOO more from New
York subscribers than it had spent,
and that the company was asking
phone users to pay per cent on this
$11O,000,000 depreciation and reserve
fund. Charges of various financial
manipulations whereby the phone
company's present high rate Of return
is obscured were made by city coun-
sci. The company claimed it could
make only to per cent and that it
was entitled to 8 per cent.
Decision against the company is
only a temporary victory for labor
and other opponents of higher rates.
A 10 per cent surcharge has been
taken since court action began. The
court passed the buck to the public
service commission, which is about to
report on new rates for the company.
If the rate increase is finally denied
by the commission, another appeal to
the courts will be made and the case
probably carried to the United States
supreme court.

Chicago Negroes, sensing fully their
revolutionary kinship with the op-
pressed peoples of Haiti, the Hawaiian
islands, the Philippines and all other
subject nationalities of the American
empire" kept a Walter M. Trumbull
meeting alive with enthusiasm Sun
day night at Metropolitan Community

Imperialist Association, affiliated with
the All-America Anti-Imperialist
League.
Frequent murmurs of approval from
the audience punctuated Trumbulrs
speech, and loud exclamation rang out
as he told of the work which he and
Paul Crouch had done in organizing
the Hawaiian Communist league in
the very ranks of the U. s. army Of oc-
cupation-to fight for the national in
dependence of the Hawaiian islands.
Trumbull revealed the terrific op-

pointed out that the Negroes, right
here in the United States, are also op-
pressed as subject people. He called
attention to the worldwide movement
for liberation that is sweeping all
colonial countries, declaring that the
Negroes must support this movement
and feel themselves part of it, because
it is striking blows against the univer-
sal exploiter.
Together with the revolutionary
white workers." he said, 1.-THE Amer
lean Negroes must form a strong al
lance with the colonial and semi-col-
onial peoples for the overthrow of
American Imperialism. Only this will
do away completely with all racial
discrimination in the United States,
assuring economic, political and social
equality of all races and nationalities.
Other speakers were Henry Phillips,
Corienne O'Brien Robinson, and

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Rich
ard Washburn Child, who was Ameri-
can ambassador to Italy from 1921 UNI
I'll 1924, Is reported on high authority
to have claimed credit, within the
past few weeks, for the making" Of
MussollnI as dictator Of italy.
Child has been in Washington for
some time playing the role OF eulogist
Of the blackshirts and Of the Italian
debt settlement pact A former edi-
tor Of Golfers, he is much entertain-
ed IN social quarters that applaud re-
action in all governments.
Ambassador "spllls Beans"
In the home Of one Of these society
politicians, according to the assertion
of fellow-guest, Child became talkar
tive as to the "inside story" of Musso-
lini's rise to power. His story was
in substance this;
Seeing the political confusion IN
Italy In the summer Of 1922 reaching
a dangerous stage, Child cabled Sec
Rotary Hughes that dictator would
be set up. The state department. IN
reply asked whether the dictator
would probably come from the mill
tary or from civilian political life.
Child then made careful survey Of
the field and decided that Mussolinf
was the strongest single leader IA
sight for the putting down Of the So
cialist and Communist forces, which
at that time were hesitating to make
an attempt to seize control.
Child had a private conference with
Mussolini, in which the fascist chief
laid all his cards on the table," and
they talked the whole situation over.
Presently Mussolini showed greatly
increased boldness, and summoned a
national congress Of the blackshirts.
Word that the socialists were going to
try to break up this gathering was
tipped off" to Mussolini, and no in
reference was undertaken. Within a
few days after this meeting Of his
forces, Mussolini marched his gunner
to Rome, and the royal army stood by

In the succession Of events follow.
ing the private conference between
the American ambassador and Mus
solini is traced the effect Of a sudden
discovery by Mussolini that Italian
bankers and big business men were
behind him, and that the king would
offer no defense of the constitution.
1t appears that Mussolini, or someone
sympathetic with his plans, must have
conveyed the impression to the bank
ers in Milan that Wall st. would look
favorably upon his seizure OF dicta-
torial control of the 10000, 900 people
Of Italy.
This astonishing confession by the
former American ambassador was
made in a private gathering, accord.
ing to the person who vouehes for the
story. Further light upon it will prob
ably be sought during the senate de-
bate on the debt settlement.

Rossi charges that Mussolini not only

death but that he laid all the plans
which led to his assassination. Mus

the prime mover in acts of violence
committed by the fascist Apaches.
1t was Mussolini who organized the
fascist tcheka. We all knew he was
in constant contact with Amerigo Du-
mini, the gang leader, who sent Mus
solini daily reports of his doings."
Why He Resigned.
Rossi explained his own immediate
resignation from a high government
position upon the discovery of the
murder by stating that he had thus
hoped to save the Italian fascist party.
He declared that the reason the Ital-
ian police had not served a warrant
which they had secured was to give
him time to fee the country, where

explained, in the case of Mussolini's
own private secretary, Fasciola, whom
the dictator had discharged, ordered
to leave Italy, and then denounced as
an accomplish to the crime.
Rossi had later fed the country, he
added, for the same reason he had
formerly refused to leave. AS soon
as he recognized that he would not
even be allowed to testify in court
because of the law forbidding any
one to speak against the dictator, he
had managed to escape to France. To
silence him Mussolini then granted
him amnesty but refused to allow him
trial in Italy.
Rossi states that the documents on
which he is working will convict Mus
solini before the whole world as a
second Nero.
