Amorroso," says Giacomo Caldora,
formerly connected with the Fascist
League of North America and at
present head of the Duce Fascist AL
lance. "The man who killed Amor
roso didn't look like Greece or Garlic.
If l ever see him again I will know
him; I could pick him out of a mil
lion men. Greece and Garlic are in
nocent men" Caldora was within six
feet of Amorroso when he was killed.
Have Different View.
The members of the Fascist League
had a different point Of view. They
are the officially recognized organ
ization in this country having direct
connections with the fascists in Italy
The Duce Alliance is an offshot from
the older organization.
One of the leaders in the move to
railroad Greece and GARLIC to the
electric chair is Count Ignazio Thaon
.di Revell, president of the Fascist
League of North America. He was
appointed by Mussolini to direct the
fascists' activities in this country. At
the present time he is doing his ut
most to legally murder the two Ital-
ian workers as revenge for the death
of the two secret agents of Mussolini
While the case against Greece and
Garlic is slender, the American
workers should not forget that the
evidence against Sacco and Vanzett
was also slender but nevertheless
they were murdered.

City Engineers TO
Make New Fight for
Salary Increases

Engineers employed by the city Of
New York have achieved only one
third of the increase gained by I'M
skilled laborers working for the
municipality between 1914 and 1925.
This, and the fact that the average
salary of the highly skilled men is
only slightly more than $1,000 year,
is pointed out in a statement issued
by the Society of Municipal En-
gineers of the City Of New York.
Despite the great Importance of
the city engineers responsibility in
the management of the city govern
ment, the compensation of the en-
gineering service has fallen behind
tremendously"

Miners RELIEF
MOVEMENT Gets
OFFICIAL ACTION
A. F. L. Officers to Meet

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 26.-The
rank and file movement for relief
among the miners, now in the sixth
month of their lockout has at last
forced official action, II present re-
ports be true. The Miners Relief
Conference here, which represents the
largest organized movement for re-
lief SO far denied them by their union
officials, hears that at the conclusion
OF the American Federation of La
boris Convention in Los Angeles dur
ing November, a conference of $50
prominent union officials will be held
in Pittsburgh when the entire body
of organized labor will throw its
support behind the United Mine
Workers Of America in the latter's
fight for renewal of the Jacksonville
wage agreement, Philip Murray, vice
president of the Miners Union said
today.
Murray says he has the assurance
of William F. Green, head of the A.
F. of L. that the miners will be given
the solid support Of other unions.
1t is emphasized by the active pro
gressive elements among the miners
that the work of the Miners Relief
Conference must be pushed, notwith-
standing this tardy recognition by re-
dictionary and half hearted officials
that something must be done. If
there is no energetic activity by the
miners themselves, the conference
called by officials might easily, they
say, become ineffective and result in
nothing of Importance to the mem
bers of the union.

Before the last strike this shop had
an agreement with the union and had

it broke its agreement by compelling
its workers to toll at piece work and

The bosses got a lawyer and took
the union to court in an attempt to

Recently they opened a new shop

In the present Ruthenberg Drive ia

it is worth while to state how i'm
portant Comrade Ruthenberg himself
considered the recruiting Of new

Comrade Ruthenbergs last words
were Build the Party" One could
hardly imagine that Comrade Ruthen-
berg would fail to make these words
his last will. For Comrade Ruthen-
berg never at any Party mass meet
ing or Party membership meeting
failed to urge the comrades to build
the Party, to strengthen the vanguard

l came to Chicago, or when Comrade
Ruthenberg visited the New York
District Office, that he failed to ask
how many new members we had
taken in during the month. / remem-
Der that prideful smile that would
come over him when the number I
mentioned were satisfactory. Like
wise there was always the gentle
criticism coupled with suggestions

stated did not meet with his approval.
Ruthenberg As Organizer.
Comrade Ruthenberg attached the
greatest Importance to the every day
detail organization work of the
Party. While he was busy writing the
programs Of the Party, formulating
its policies, and leading the Party.
he was never too busy to write the
most detailed letters to the District
Organizers, on the every day prob
lens of building the Party, increasing
its membership and the circulation
of its press.
In the present Ruthenberg Drive
for new members, our Party does not
look upon this campaign as an isola-
ted event in itself. This campaign
is based on the mass activity Of the
Party and is connected IN with it
organically. 1t is on the basis Of
the work of our Party in leading the
struggles Of the masses that we APP
peal to the workers Of this country

fail to point out that Comrade
