SETTING
WITH REVOLT AS
PAY is SLASHED
Armed Revolt in North;
Fascists Wounded

VENTIMIGLIA, Italy, May IT,
Armed revolts are breaking out thru
out Italy as the result of the ten per
cent wage slash announced by Musso-
lini. While rents and prices are
soaring, the wages Of industrial and
agricultural workers, already reduced
to a starvation level, are being
slashed.
An armed revolt has broken out at
Inveruno, near Milan. Several Fas-
cists were wounded in a clash with
the rebelling peasants.
Burn Landlords Effigies.
Effigies of Fascist landlords, who
have boosted rents, were publicly
burnt by workers in the streets of
Florence, while spontaneous strikes
against the application of the wage
slash are reported to be breaking
out in southern Italy.
Although the Fascist are employ
ing every terrorist devise to smash
the growing discomfort, secret or
CARNATIONS thruout Italy, led by
Communists, are planning to organ
ize resistance to the application of
the labor-smashing Charter of labor
and the wage cuts. Some observers
believe that there is the possibility
that the strikes and sporadic revolts
are the nuclei of revolution that
will overthrow the Fascist regime.
Attack Wall Street.
Leaflets attacking the Mussolini
regime are flooding the country,
despite the efforts of the Fascist to
stamp out the organizations that are
issuing them.
Many Of them contain attacks on
reactionary American and British adj
ministrations which have bolstered
up Fascism. Calvin Coolidge and
Austin Chamberlain, British Foreign
Minister, are branded as oppressors
of Italian labor in the leaflets. By
granting enormous loans Italy,
American and British bankers have
not only reaped handsome profits but
have bolstered the Fascist dictator
ship, the leaflets say.

November.
The National Industrial Council it
self dates from before the war and
was formerly known as the National
Council for Industrial Defense. It's
purposes are to maintain Hobbies in
the State and national legislatures to
fight trade unionism, to maintain in
formation services for employers on
labor questions and to agitate against
"class legislation" such as workmen's
compensation.
Between 300 and 400 employers
and manufacturers associations and
chambers of commerce support the
Council in its anti-labor work, accord
ing to Robert w. Dunn, whose studies
IN company unionism, labor espionage
and employers associations have led
him across the Councils trails in
many of labor's political and indus
trial struggles.
Rees, according to Dunn, specializes
in the protection of the schools from
trade union influences" "Subversive
influences" such as the Teachers and
Janitors' Unions he fights vigorously,
keeping an eye all the while on text
books to see that liberal professors do
not introduce references which might
aid labor's cause.
Hits Social Legislation
James A. Emery, counsel to the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
pleaded for a reduction of govern
mental taxation as the most direct
method of defeating moves toward So
cial legislation.
He sounded the tocsin of alarm
against labor efforts to legalize strike
and picket activities. Referring to
the recent Supreme Court decision
Gripping the Stone Cutters in their
fight on scab stone, he declared that
the employers had won a smashing
victory which nothing less than an
amendment to the constitution would
nullify.
The decision of the court, Emery
told his fellow-open shoppers, is a
body blow at trade unions and efforts
to MAINTAIN the union closed shop.
Only 100000
Noel Sargent, manager of the in
dustrial relations department of the
N. A. NJ, declared there were "only"
100000 child labor slaves in the coun-
try instead of 100000. Other speak
ers were William H. Thompson, for
mer officer of the reactionary national
grange, Henry Harrison Lewis, exec
utive director of Better Understand

turers' Association, and Benjamin F.

NEED FOR REVISION IS SEEN
IN TRANSIENT GARAGE SERVICE
Incompetent Employees Are Blamed for
Maltreatment of Cars of Tourists.
Slipshod Methods Scored.

With the greatest and the most gen
orally successful touring season now
passing into history, motorists every
where are discussing the all-important
question of transient garaging, and
comprehensive survey of the sub leCt
reveals that transient motorists are
determined to do all within their
power TO halt slipshod methods of
garaging cars and at the same time
to advertise by word of mouth those
establishments whose thoughtful in
terest in their customers appears to
| justify appreciation.
Bonding of garage attendants as a
means of safeguarding the car owner
against irresponsible employees is
among the many plans suggested by
way of remedy of certain existing con.
| ditionS. This suggestion comes from
| garage owners as well as from Gus
| toners. One garage proprietor who
will retire from business next year de-
| clares he has not been able to find one
| fully responsible employe for the past
| six months He has built an apart
ment above his garage so that he can
| be on hand at all times.
| Efficiency men who have studied
garages catering to transients are
agreed that An opportunity for expan-
sion of business is being sacrificed
| through treating the tourist as though
he would never be seen again.
| The transient objects TO having his
car handled by incompetents. He pays
several thousand dollars for a good
car and becomes proficient in the
| handling of 1t. Shortly he must leave
his car in some strange garage, where
an ignorant employe bangs it around
and seemingly does his level best to
put it out of commission.
Transient Foots Bill.
OF eight men authorized by the
management to move cars in a large
lefty garage, only four, investigation
showed, were licensed to drive cars.
One finally learned how to drive by
nracticing on transients property.
One, a washer, was so incompetent
that it was not an unusual thing for
him to take Is minutes moving some
body's car from one place to another.
The transient foOts the bill. But he
is tiring of this sort of thing. AT
some of the resorts during last Sum
mer there were guests who absolutely
refused to put their cars in the hotel
operated garages. Conditions, how
ever, are by no means uniform, and
tourists are passing the word along
that there are certain garages here
and there which should be patronized
and encouraged to develop transient
service to the point where both parties
will be benefited.
A typical transient was asked what
he desired when he stored his car for
the night. He replied:
First, I want to know If there is
room for my car. This business of
packing N is no different than selling
a man a theater seat and then expect.
ing him to stand up. If there is no
place for my car, l want to be told
about 1t.
Next, / want to drive my own car
into the space allotted me. and l want
to be assured that l will find it in the
same space when / come to get it. No
traveller would permit his luggage to
