and nail to prevent the recapture of
its subway lines by the city" The

its provisions the recapture Of the

Altho the Untermyer scheme is
played up as an attempt on the part

French POLICE
CONTINUE FRAME:
UP BOMB RAIDS
u. S. Fascists Ignored
By Italian Workers

NICE, France, Sept. 27.-French
police are boasting today that they
have found anarchist literature in
the homes of well-known Italian an
archists who are refugees in south
ern France from fascism. 1t is doubt
full, however, if this will seem extra
ordinary to anybody above the men
tality of French policeman. The
raids on the houses of the Italian
refugees and the arrests of scores
on frame-up charges in connection
with the bombing of the French
southern railroad over which trains,
loaded with American legionnaires,
were about to pass, are part of the
French governments plot to drive all
progressive labor elements out of the
country or to bury them in the
French jails. Even before the frame
up Of the Italian workers it was
known that the French intelligence
and secret services had received ex-
plicit instructions to stop at nothing
in prosecuting, imprisoning or de-
porting workers. The police action
was at first alleged to be an answer
to the French workers mass protests
against the murders of Sacco and
Vanzetti. Hundreds of workers were
deported at that time and the leaders
of the Communist Party were thrown
into jails.
The present frame-up charges
against the Italian workers grew out
of the bomb explosion which tore up
a few feet of track on the southern
railway three days ago and out of a
second discovery by the police Of
another bomb at La Bacco. A third
attempt" against the Legion was
also reported by the police when
large boulders were found across the
southern railway tracks, but these
later proved to be the work Of a
landslide.

ROME, Sept. 27.-Premier Wal

a treaty of concord between Lith-

territory Of Memel, which is peo-
pied principally by protestant pea
SAINTS, is IS per cent Roman Cath
olic, according to the way the
church calculates membership, that
is, all babtised children are con-
sidered catholics, whether they
want to be or not.
The workers of Lithuania, most
of them, have abandoned their
fathers religion, and like the

regard the present concordat as
Eerely an alliance of their enemies

FRAME-UP OF TWO
WORKERS CAUSED
BY DUCE'S AGENT

Count Ignazio Thaon di Revel, head
Of the Fascist League of North
America, appointed by Premier Mus
solini, is the moving spirit behind the
frame-up of Cologero Greece and
Garlic, anti-fascists whom the sup
porters of Mussolini and the New
York police authorities want to send
to the electric chair.
Revel has been warmly received by
leading business men of America,
holding many secret conferences at
which he propograted the principles
of fascism. 1t is said that many of
his listeners have been very sympa-
thetic to his message, drinking in
every word eagerly.
Caused Indictment.
WELDING his great influence with
prominent individuals in this country
it can be easily seen that it was not
difficult for Revel to cause the in
dictment of two men who are opposed
to the fascist regime in Italy.
A vivid example of how the frame
up of anti-fascists is conducted is the
case of Philip Nardone of the Bronx.
Nardone was arrested together
with 13 other men charged with
numbering Carisi and Amorroso, Sc
cret agents of Mussolini. He was
