FASCIST TERROR
BRINGS OUTBREAK

MUNICH, Bavaria, May 25.-
Bayonets of the Austrian guard dis
persed a crowd of men and women,
demonstrating against the Italian
consulate in Innsbruck, according to
dispatches from that city.
The attack by the guards followed
the trampling of the Italian flag at
the Italian consulate building in Inns
bruck by Austrian students. Innsbruck
authorities believed that the incident
had been closed locally by the en-
forced salute of the flag by members
of the Austrian guard.
The salute, however, brought on a
new outbreak when the crowd which
attempted to force it's way into the
city hall where the mayor had posted
bulletin stating that trampling of
the flag was "senseless." Only the
bayonets of the soldiers kept the
masses at bay.
The outbreak is the result of the
terrorist policy pursued by agents of
the Italian government in the Italian
Tyrol.

PARTY SECTIONS
IN BANNER RACE
$4,000 Needed by June
End. for New Center

Sections / and 5 of the Workers
(Communist) Party are in a close race
for first place in the drive for $780,
600 to establish the Workers Center,
1928 Union Square.
Up until now Section l has had
things it's own way and far outdis
tanced all competitors, but within the.
last week Section has suddenly
spurted in a way which seriously i'm
perils Section rs hold on first posi-
ton.
The units in these two sections also
seem at present to have the best
chance to win the red revolutionary
banner that will be given to the unit
making the highest totals in the
drive. All the units in Section l are
in the running for the banner and
several from Section have good
chance to win.
The winner will, however, not be
determined until the last day of the
drive, Saturday, June 2. In fact, COM
petition is so keen that it probably
will be impossible to decide the WIN
ming unit until the final contributions
are made at the great concert which
will be held that evening at the
Center to wind up the drive. Many
leaders of the revolutionary move
ment will speak at this affair, which
will celebrate the actual acquisition of
the Workers Center.
There will be an interesting musical
and artistic program, which Is now
being arranged by George Cookley,
Among those who will take part will
be N. Nazaroff, famous Russian bari
tone, his two children and L. Newell,
harpist and soloist with the Capitol
Theatre Symphony Orchestra.
Tickets for the affair should be Sc
cured at once as seating accommoda-
lions are limited. They are 80 cents
in advance and rs cents at the door
and are on sale at 1928 Union Square.

the bourgeoisie. The June issue, W
since the April number.
The month of April produced a crop
of rumors to the effect that the New
Masses had gone under. These ru-
mors are best contradicted by the
June number which shows that the
New Masses is more alive than ever.
But it is not the same New Masses.
Many changes have occurred. Egg
mont Arens has resigned as editor
and Michael Gold, one of the most
popular working class writers in this
country, is now at the helm. The
magazine is different in appearance
and make-up-a change towards
greater vividness.
Change of Policy.
There is also change in the edi-
torial policy. A statement of policy
issued by Gold declares:
"The magazine is to be more prole-
tartan. We are going to dig up new
worker writers-also get unedited &C
counts of work by workers. kind
of sublimated workers correspon-
dence.
"The magazine is to print almost
no political articles. 1t will be, of
course, definitely worllingclass and
revolutionary in it's political loyalty,
but will not attempt to discuss tao
tics, etc.
"The New Masses can live only as
the organ of the human and artistic
revolt of the workers"
New Writers.
In support of this policy the cur
rent New Masses contains an entire
page of poems by Martin Russak, a
Paterson silk weaver, which has never
been published before, poetry by two
other young writer's, Edwin Rolfe
and Herman Spector, contribution
from an inmate of poorhouse and in
teresting letters from workers. Other
contributors are John Dos Passos,
Ezra Pound, Michael Gold, Dudley
Nichols and Kenneth Fearings. The
cover design is by Hugo Gellert.
And most important of all: the new
New Masses is Is cents instead of rs
"a great difference to the workers
