ITALIAN LABOR
FIGHTS FASclSM
IN U. S. CITIES
Sons of Italy Lodges
Reject Appeals

That the overwhelming majority of
the Italian workers in this country
are opposed to fascism, the only
group that supports them being pro-
fessional men, is the information the
DAILY WORKER has received from
reliable sources.
The members Of the Sons of Italy,
largest Italian fraternal society in
America, are opposed to fascism, it
is said. In New Haven, Conn, nine
lodges of the Sons of Italy with a
membership of over 10000 are con-
tinuously throwing into the waste
basket all communications they re-
ceive from the Fascist League of
North America or from any other
organization they suspect is SYM
pathetic to the fascist regime in Italy.
Refused to Parade.
In the past, New Haven Columbus
Day parades drew 10000 workers,
This year the Sons of Italy lodges
did not participate as they were in
formed that the fascists would be in
the line of march. Less than 400
marchers joined the parade.
In Danbury, Conn.,, recently a
fascist agent attempted to sell oil
stocks in an Italian well, owned by
the fascist government. When the

the Lafayette coal fields to break the
strike of the coal miners, here today
menaced hundred pickets led by a
girl dressed in red, with their machine
guns. Airplanes equipped with ma
chine guns and bombs circled over the
pickets, and added their threat to
those of the troopers and mine guards.
The pickets stood their ground in
spite of violence offered and the
charge of heavily armed troopers. The
strike is still on and spreading in
some sections tho there are continued
boasts by the Rockefeller Fuel and
Iron Co. that it is about over.
Sheriff Lies About Writs
Sheriff H. C. Detienne and Jailer

they were served when the case of

Military Training
To Be Acted ON
at C.C.N.Y. Today

The opinion of the students of the
College of the City of New York on
the question of military training will
be expressed at a meeting at noon
at the college by the Student Council,
it was announced last night. Repre-
sentatives of the faculty also will
present their views.
This is the latest development in
the case of Alexander Lifshitz and
Leo Rothenberg, students, suspended
for criticizing military training at q
symposium last Thursday.
A statement issued yesterday by
Hyman Sorokoff, president of the
Student Council, in which he said the
students favored the suspension, was
attacked sharply by many students
last night. They pointed out that
Sorokoff issued his statement with
out consulting members of the coun-
Gil and that the statement was merely
his personal opinion.
Deny Withdrawal.
Lifshitz and Rothenberg in state
ment last night denied stories that
they appeared in morning newspapers
yesterday representing them as hav-
ing written to Frederick B. Robinson,
president of the college, withdraw
ing their opposition to military train
ing. They stated that they wrote the
college president informing him that
it Is not a personal issue, thereby
clarifying the issue.
eve do not want to distort the
ISSUE" both said. "Our attack is not
against members of the faculty but
against military training. We have
not and will not withdraw our oppo-
sition to military drills"
The Liberal Club of the college
held a meeting at the college last
night with Norman Thomas leading
a discussion on military training.

BOSSES WIN IN
new AGREEMENT
LOCAL Al SAYS
"a Cloakmakers Fired
at Right Wing Order

That the right wing of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union signed an agreement in the
name of Local Al, /. L. G. W., without
the consent of the membership was
charged yesterday by M. E. Taft
manager cf Local al.
The agreement, signed early in the
week by the right wingers headed by
Harry Greenberg, an international
vice president, is victory for the
employers, according to Taft. He
pointed out that the portions of the
agreement made public indicate that
the right wing gave many concessions
to the employers.
Give Up Holiday.
"Take for an example the legal
holidays" continued Taft. "In the
old agreement the workers were paid
for Christmas. In the agreement
signed by the right wingers Christ
mas is no longer holiday. Decora-
ton day is substituted, although it
comes during the slow season when
most of the workers have no jobs.
another right wing victory is
the increase of novelty workers and
hemstichers' wages from $28 to $50
a week. This is a farce, as all work
ers in the trade are receiving more
than that scale at the present time.

of the agreement, but if it follows the
same line it is a bosses victory 100

Replying to the question as to how
the U. S. S. R. intends to struggle
with anti-foreign oil concerns, Stain
declared this was the wrong way to
put the question. If the question is
put in such form, he declared, it
may look as if the Soviet oil industry
had decided to move against the oil

tempting to destroy them.
AS matter of fact, he explained,
certain oil concerns from capitalist
countries are trying to suppress the
