u. S, WINS new
FILIPINO LAND
GRAB MEASURE
Imperialist Laws Are
Pushed Thru

MANILA. Nov. 9.-The Philip
pine legislature adjourned today
after session featured by num-
Der of bills highly in favor of
American investors in the sugar
plantations pushed thru by the gov
error-general, Stimson.
In order to placate the liberal"
opposition, authority was granted to
the executive committees of both
houses to revise the group of amend
ments recently passed which liberal
ize the corporation laws of the
island in such way as to grant
large concessions to the American
landowners. The authority" is not
of much account since the commit
tee will receive all suggestions along
this line from Stimson.
The legislature adjourned without
taking action on a bill which would
have re-established the insular board
of control, which the late governor
general, Leonard Wood, abolished
and which the United States supreme
court declared to be an Illegal body.
Native landowners and businessmen
had pushed the passage of this bill
in order to assure the control Of
government-owned corporations for
themselves. These corporations will
now be left solely in the hands of
Stimson.
Other franchises, giving conces-
sions to American owned telegraph
companies to set up trans-Pacific
wireless stations on the island, were
granted. The United States govern
ment has been especially anxious to
set up such stations on the island for
use in war emergency against the
British, since the Philippines is the
principal American naval base in
the East.
Plan New Session. a
An extra session of the senate
will probable be called shortly to
consider government appointments.
1t is generally pointed out the ma
tive Hiberal" opposition was entirely
ineffective in blocking the legisls
ton so favorable to American bust
ness and every major law proposed
by Stimson was pushed through.

CAUSE POLICE TO
ARREST INNOCENT
TEXTILE WORKER
Shopmates Quit After
New Jailings

NEW LONDON, Conn. (By MaiD
Six anti-fascist workers of New
London were arrested and held for
trial in the Superior Court charged
with melting to riot and breach of
the peace, at the request of the
fascists, who charge these workers
with hostile demonstrations against
them.
The arrests took place many hours
after an alleged fight between the
fascist and anti-fascisti. The po-
lice, accompanied by local fascist
picked up known anti-fascisti work
ers Unfortunately in their homes
and on the streets.
When Gaudenzie and one other
anti-fascist were arrested in the shop
all the workers of the Corticelli Silk
Mill walked out in a protest strike.
The police and fascist, in their
search for anti-fascisti were met
everywhere in the italian section
with hooting and jeering and cries
of "Down with the fascisti!"
The New London Police Depart
ment, newspapers, and the fascist
organs attempt to link up the six
arrested workers with the death Of a
fascist named Tudisca, whose body
was found recently in the Mystic
River.
Consul Di Cicco of New Haven,
one of the leading lights of Musso-
lini's agents in America, directed
the prosecution of the anti-fascists
during the hearing. The fascist wit
nesses were coached by Di Cicco to
identify the six anti-fascists. The
fascist press and organizations to-
gether with Prosecutor Cronin are
preparing another murder frame-up
against the anti-fascist workers.
