In spite of the severe conditions of underground

more than 1000 new members, which was no mean
success under the conditions of underground work
and under the fascist regime. In the course of the
recruiting week there hundreds of illegal meet

Amsterdam and the Italian Proletariat

THE fact that the majority of the former leaders
of the italian General Confederation Of Labor
had gone to the fascists and that the secre-
tary of the G. c. L. Buozzi, had decided on his own
account to transfer the organization abroad had
the opposite result from what had been expected by
the traitors and deserters. The G. C. L. is not dead
it continues to exist in Italy, to the bitter fury of
the fascists and the calling aggravaton of the AM
sterdamites. The trade union conference convened
at Milan February 20 ILLEGALLY, of course) upon
the initiative of three revolutionary declarations of
the G. c. L., and at which were represented nearly
all the G. c. L. elements which escaped destruction
at the hands of the fascists and who remained loyal
to their organization, decided unanimously to refuse
to recognize the legality of the resolution of the
traitors to dissolve the G. c. L. and expressed itself
categorically against the transfer of the G. c. l..
abroad.
The G. c. L. must stay in Italy and its bottom
organizations must be transferred to the factories
and workshops where it is easier to carry on an
illegal existence, and where it is possible to get into
closer touch with the of the workers-such
the decision of the conference. A provisional
G. c. L. executive elected whose business it

THE PATIENT PLODDER

His driven stride grows sulen with the weight
That he has carried through long centuries;
His famished soul is wreckage of the seas
Of life; his hope becomes disconsolate
AS he plods on 0, who dared relegate
Upon his beaten back these calumnies?
And whom can this maligned apostle please
But brutes with british moods to satiate?
When will eyes peer into his abode
And send beam of light to chase away
The shadows that have fingered there so long?
1t almost seems this human antipode
Has staggered on, unable to relay
Aloud his sorry, unmelodic song.
