and reactonary trade union officials of Italy as
servants and collaborators of Mussolini?
If Tobn really means what he says, namely, that
Mussolini's wage cutting measure is menace to
labor the world over why does not the Executive
Council of the American Federation of Labor
initiate a movement of protest against it? Why
does Tobin keep silent about the treachery of the
conservatives in the italian unions?
MAYBE should not be asking these questions.
m Instead of that we should be pointing out the
fact that the Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor, of which Tobin is treasurer,
Is guilty of nearly the same crimes as the Italian
reactionaries Matthew Vol and William Green
have tried to break the strike of the fur workers
and failing in that, because of the militancy of the
workers and the competency of its left wing leader
ship, the same gentry proceeded to undermine and
break up the union. And in doing so, they are
using tactics and methods which are little better
than those of the fascists in Italy Wherein, them
does the Executive Council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor differ from Mussolini and his
agents in the Italian labor movement?
IT may be well to recall another fact in the stua-
ton. When Mussolini started out on his das-
tardly campaign to outlaw the Italian trade unions
his biackshirted bandits invading trade union head
quarters, destroying furniture and records, mob
bling trade union officials in the most civilized"
fascist STYLE the Red International of Labor Unions
proposed TO the Italian trade union reactionaries
and to the Amsterdam International as whole the
creation of united labor front to protect the right
of the Italian trade unions to legal existence. A.
Losovsky, in his capacity of general secretary of
the Moscow International OF Labor Unions as the
enemies wont to call it, dispatched telegraphic
offers for united action against the union smash
ing campaign of Mussolini to all parties concerned
But the result was that neither the Italian trade
union reactionaries nor the reactionaries of the
Amsterdam International ever accepted the pro-
posal. The former preferred to concede to Mus
soin joining him in the destruction of the unions
while the latter stood by passively permitting Mus
solini to complete his Job.
PRECISELY the position is now being taken
by Daniel J. Tobin with regard TO the next step
In Mussolni's war upon Italian labor--the national
ten per cent wage cut.

SYDNEY, Australia.-At a trades union con-

ruary the present trouble in China was discussed.
It was ordered that fraternal greetings be sent to

pressed that the advancing Nationalist armies on
Shanghai meet with success and that out of the
present trouble there would arise the great eastern

It was decided to send delegation of trade union

Canton then visit Soviet Russia to observe conditions
there and report back to the Australian working
class.
Congress also carried the following resolution:
That this T. u. Congress affirms its solidarity with
the workers of the world. We recognize the awaken

ROSE DECLARES
BILL STRONGER
SINCE DEFEAT
Director Praises Fine
Fight Made by Swing
and Johnson.

Mark Rose of Holtville, director
of the Imperial Irrigation district,
returned from Washington this
morning, greatly pleased with the
fight put up by proponents of the
Swing ohnson bill and confident
that it will ultimately be passed by
congress. The director said
that lie believed there was little to
fear from the opposition of Arizona
to the measure but that the big
fight on hand was that against the
big power concerns.
''There was really only one
chance in a million of putting the
measure through at this session of
congress, he declared. 1.-The time
was limited by law and there was
so many other bills that had to be
taken care of first that it did not
leave sufficient time to pass on the
Boulder dam bill, with the cong,
ressmen giving it the consideration
which is its due.
"But the point sought was
really gained. BY the marvellous
fight staged by Hiram johnson and
the excellent work accomplished by
Phil Swing, the measure was Civ
en- great prominence. This will lead
to study of the question by al
concerned throughout the pending
months and when congress con
= /
place as one of the leading matters
of business to be transacted. The
December session is not limited by
law and the bill can be thrashed out
from all angles
Questioned relative to danger
from Arizona S taking issue against
the bill and the possibility of Ari-
zona entering into the six-state pact,
Rose had the following to say:
"Arizona will never enter the
pact. The state has nothing to gain
by such an action and the fight put
up by Arizona against the pact is
only an effort to obtain taXfrec
state. Congressman will not stand
for such an arrangement tand as far
as that is concerned we have little
to fear from Arizona. During my
stay in Washington l heard very lit
tie information which would cause
one to believe that the congressman
were taking favorable outlook on
the Arizona problem.
kilograms Traced
1T is the power interests which
we must fight. While in Washing
ton We traced down numerous telc-
grams which were received asking
congressman to take sides against
the issue. These when traced were
found to originate in the headquar
ters of various power plants. The
kilograms would be given to the
senders, already written, by rep
resentatives of power companies
and then the sender would be per-
suaded to sign and send in the mes
sage.
"That is the kind of a battle we
are stacked up against and the
power companies will do all possible
during the coming months to bring
about the defeat of the bill when it
up in the December session.
1t is up to us to put up a bigger
fight to bring about its passage. IF
the people of, this community could
have seen Hiram johnson stage his
fight for the measure,
they would feel confident, as | do,
that the bill is in the right hands.
Even legislative enemies of johnson
were forced to drop words of praise
for his great effort
