MussOlini Wages War at Home in
Preparation for War Abroad.
LET no one mistake the purposes
of the Mussolini government in this
trial. For the intention of the fascist
gang is to go the limit against those
who take light-heartedly the trial of
these Italian labor men who already
have passed through year of torture
in the fascist jails. For the Musso-
lini government sees that the labor
movement and the Communist Party
are it's deadliest enemies.
"Mussolini is aggressively putting
into life the imperialist policies Of
Italian capitalism. He has established
over Italian labor a regime of virtual
slavery, cutting wages, and outlaw
ing unions and strikes. He has es.
tablished the same sort of regime over
the peasantry. Mussolini is prepar-
ing for new conquests in Africa, in
Aria, in the Balkans, and elsewhere,
to bolster up his prestige at home and
to strengthen the position of the Ital-
ian capitalists abroad.
"The only force in Italy struggling
today against the war Vaccination
and violent labor reaction of the Mus

the Communist Party. That is why
Mussolini is landing now with such
terrific force upon the labor militants

Northwestern Railroad
Clerks Get Portion of
The Demanded Increase
BY HARRY KLETZsKY.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7 (FP) - An in
crease of per cent to clerks and 4
per cent to freight handlers employed
by the Chicago Northwestern R. R..
is awarded in the decision of the arbi-
tration board in the wage case of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks,
Freighthandlers & Station Employees
and the road. The award gives clerks
an increase of approximately &c an
hour and freighthandlers a fraction
less than &c an hour increase. The
brotherhood asked for 15c. Nearly
$500 workers are affected, 5000 of
whom are clerks. 40 per cent of the
workers live in Chicago.
Management arbitrator, William
Walliser, Northwestern vice-president,
and C. H. Westbrooke, general audit
or, filed a bitter dissenting opinion.
They deny that living costs have in
creased and that they are relevant to
the wage issue. "The public will have
to stand the cost of this increased"
they pleaded, declaring the roads
present financial status would not per-
NIT an added wage cost of approx
mately $4,000 which the increase
will mean.
Only Part of Demand.
Brotherhood officials see the award
as a partial victory, although the
workers received but a fraction of
their demand. eve think the evidence
introduced warranted larger increase
but the increase awarded is substan-
tial,'" commented Thomas P. Davis,
general chairman of the Northwestern
clerks. eve had hoped for more"
said E. L. Oliver, who presented the
brotherhood's case, "but this is a VIC
tory"
The increase will raise the average
hourly pay of class B clerks from 55c
to soc and the freighthandlers from
Ate to nearly Acc. The management
urged that the board set the wage of
freighthandlers at minimum of 30c
an hour, allowing the road to pay the
market rate for labor. This wage prin-
ciple, on which the arrangements en-
tire case was based, was thoroughly
repudiated by the arbitrators.

Weaver
Strike Continues;
Boss Was Cheating

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Nov. THE
strike of the 800 weavers of the Salts
Textile Mill is holding strong. The
workers, organized in the "Salts' Tex
tile Employees Association" origin
ally a company union, which the
workers turned into an independent
union, stopped the looms last Friday
afternoon when the management
seemed determined to carry out their
policy of deducting fifty per cent of
the piece rates on what they term
Second grade" cloth.
This policy had been practiced for
some time, and met with the bitter
resentment of the workers, who very
often lost from 10 to Is dollars a
week on seconds which the company
sold as first grade cloth.
Refuse to Return.
Production has been crippled. Two
weave sheds are entirely closed, while
the Salts Mill which is in the receiver
ship of the Hartman Bank of Wall
ST., has so far refused to meet with
the strikers, demanding that the
weavers return to their looms before
they begin negotiations. This the
workers refused to do, and voted to
continue the strike which is growing
in strength and numbers.
Heavy Orders.
There is every prospect of a swift
victory for the strikers. The Salts
Mill manufactures mainly automobile
upholstery and roof covers, and has
been working on heavy orders from
the Fisher Body Co., of Detroit. The
strikers demands are: Abolition of
the seconds system, Is per cent in
crease in wages for all departments,
time and half for overtime, double
time for Sundays, better sanitary con-
ditions, ie., better lights ard cleaner
wash rooms, no discrimination
against any employee. The strike
started Oct. %.
