leave, however, the revolutionary
movement, being all the time one of
the best propagandists in the South
of Italy. Every Italian revolutionary
can remember, how much the work
ing masses liked old Prampolini, cleo
ting him always as their represen-
tative at municipal e. ections and Civ
ing him the leadship in all the biggest
strikes in the history of the Italian
labor movement. In 1914 he was
elected by the congress of the Italian
socialist party as a member of the
c. c. of the party and, in spite of his
old age, took an active part in the
work of the c. c.
In 1921, in Livorno, during the split
in the socialist party, when many re-
volutionists preferred to remain in
the socialist party,-Prampolini fol-
lowed the Communist group and laid
the fondation of the Italian section
Of the Comintern.
Nothing but profound hate of the
revolutionary movement of the Ital-
ian proletariat, thirst of vengence
and a fear of all those believing in
liberty led the fascists to commit this
new crime.

MUSSOLINI DEPORTS 80 YEAR OLD REBEL

THE Executive Committee Inter

from Brindisi to an uninhabited
island of blind comrade, Juseppe
Prampolini 81 years old.
Of the numerous crimes per-
petrated every day by the fascists
this one deserves the special atten-
ton of the international proletariat.
A devoted and honest Communists
Comrade Prampolini i. in view of his
old age and his physical infirmity
took no active part in the political
life of Italy during the last few years.
In his youth, when the ideas of the
1st socialist international had not yet
penetrated into Italy, Prampohni was
an earnest republican, often perse-
cuted by the police.
When, in 1866, giuseppe Garibaldi
called on the Italian youth to join
the war for the emancipation of Italy
from the Austrian yoke, comrade
Prampolini put on the red shirt of
the Garibaldians.
When Garibaldi, after the fall of
Paris Communal, and after the cele-
brated polemic between Mazini and
Bakunin, had proclaimed his famous
slogan: "The international is the sun

The Mormons are gaining more ad-

TAR, by Sherwood Anderson, Boni &
Liveright, $3.50.
WHEN Sherwood Anderson's books
w first began to be published some
of the critics said they liked the
cropping quality of his writings. Ever
since he has been strenuously endeav-
oring to "grope" as much as he could.
Anderson is wistful over the disap-
pearance of the old swimmin' hole.
1t hurts him to see the fine, rolling
hills of his native Ohio covered with
ugly, sooty mills, factories, and rail
roads. He finds mechanical civiliza-
ton so disquieting, so irritating, so
relentless. Sherwood Anderson loves
to dote over his own childhood and
that of capitalist America. What
wouldn't he give for the return of the
mellow, radiant days when men rode
in buggies, painted their own houses,
and wore corduroy pants. He would
sacrifice anything in order to return
to the time when he was small bow
and had sessions with his father in
the clubhouse in the backyard, and
hoped that he were already man.
"Tar," is a story of Anderson's boy
hood in a small Ohio town. Much of
the book is convincing, and in it are
folk-stories that cling closely to the
core of experience. This writer knows
how to tell tale, especially if it is
about race-horse, small town poll
tician, or a prostitute. Although his
simplicity" is sometimes a mere pow
erty of language, critics have re-
garded it as literary virtue.
Anderson is sentimental about the
America before the age of imperial
ism and the U. S. Steel Corporation.
One can sympathize with him on that
score. Although it is necessary, Of
course, to be suspicious of the fellows
who reach middle-age, and then yearn
for their childhood days,-which were
in all probability very unhappy.
That's silly.
There is no doubt that the average
literary craftsman Tor word-fellow,
as Anderson calls him) cannot be ex-
pected to know something of the in
dustrial revolution; of the organiza-
ton of capitalist industry; of the
growth of the American Empire.
Especially Anderson. He is thwart-
ed actor, frustrated race-horse gam
bier. Naturally he would find eco
Monies dull reading. But it is a pity
that he hasn't more of a feel for the
labor movement and the social and
artistic possibilities of a genuine
working-class culture.
That's just the reason why Ander-
son is getting little tiresome Just
as Mencken has already become a
bore. It's lot of fun and quite in
teresting for time to point out the
cultural hollowness of bourgeois
America. In fact it's quite justified,
and incidentally goes far toward es-
tablishing the atmosphere necessary
for a freer kind of writing.
Anderson is lonely. He cannot iden-
tify himself with the noisy, intense
civilization where shoes are turned
out by frightful machines. He does
not see that the ''frightful' machines
can be made beautiful, can be made to
provide the leisure for which Ander-
son bankers so much.
Does he hate his little portable
typewriter upon which he reveals his
warnings for brightly-colored socks
and neckties, and for the fine Creole
coffee to be had in the French Quar-
ter in New Orleans?
Clearly it depends upon the uses to
which machinery is put.

LOT JOBS.
The report explains that "the bur-
den of showing that the employment
offices already in operation are not
sufficient to meet the needs of en-
ployers and employees is upon the ap-
plicant for a new license. If the APP
plicant fails to establish proof of the
reasonable need of the proposed
agency, the application must be de-
MED in accordance with statutory pro-
Visions"
This gives the free public offices
a virtual monopoly. In 1926 public
employment offices in Wisconsin
placed 106,500 applicants compared
with S,008 placed by private agencies.
Only 1920 of the placements by pri-
vate agencies went into industry. The
remainder were nurses, teachers,
clerical workers and domestic serv-
ants.
Private agencies would have charg-
ed the 100000 workers placed by the
