PRISON MURDERS
ROUSE ITALIAN
WORKING CLASS
Anti Fascist Is Found
Hanging in Field

GENEVA, s(By MaiD The latest
deaths in the Florence prison, Muir
ate, have reused the Italian work
ing class to tremendous protest.
The Communists Alfredo Maren-
cell, Shorsi, Poll and an unknown
Polish prisoner died following fear
full mistreatment. In the same
prison the Italian Communist Tar
gioni is now raving maniac, having
lost his reason after being tortured.
In the Santo Stefano prison the sick
Communist leader Terracini is slowly
collapsing.
News of another murder has also
leaked past the Italian frontier. A
few weeks ago the body of a man
was found hanging from tree in an
open field. 1t was the body of an
anti-fascist from Fiume, who was
first choked and then hanged to
create the impression that he had
committed suicide. The officials
naturally kept this strictly secret
The relatives of the murdered Serdos
were not even permitted to know the
details of his burial or where he was
buried. Urged on by the relatives
of Serdos, the city officials of Fiume
attempted to have the body trans
fered to the native city for resburial
but the request still remains I'M
answered.
The officials have made no investi-
cations into the murder of Serdos.
Under the rule of Mussolini the
death of an anti-fascist is not worthy
of investigation, on the contrary it
is hailed as a patriotic and heroic
deed"
News Of the murder of Serdos has
aroused the protest of the anti
fascists of Fiume and Trieste, where
he had many friends and followers.

WELL TREATED
BY SANDINO'S
/ men, he SAYS
Charges Wall st. Is
Cause of Invasion

WASHINGTON, July 81
Through the Anti-Imperialist
League the following letter was sent
to the White House:
"Mr. Calvin Coolidge:
president of the United States,
"Esteemed Sir:
cat the present time, I, along
with 18 other American citizens am
a prisoner of General SANDING: We
request that you withdraw the
American troops from Nicaragua
permitting that country to admin
lister its affairs as an independent
government. While American troops
remain in Nicaragua, neither our
lives nor our property are safe. Dur
ing the recent disturbances AmeE'i-
can lives and property were safe.
Our present difficulties are result
Of the maintenance of American
troops in Nicaragua. All that Gen
eral SANDING asks is that American
troops be withdrawn and that Mic
aragua be permitted to solve it's
political questions without foreign
interference.
Treated with Respect.
"I left the mine of La Luz on the
18th of April, and 1 am glad to re-
port that I have been treated with
consideration and respect, I do not
consider my life in danger on ac-'
count of the forces of SANDING.
Nevertheless, / am exposed to the
same risk as he and his soldiers, in
case of an armed attack or in case
American airplanes bomb Sandino's
troops. am certain that if the
American people were given
chance to decide that they would be
in complete agreement with me, that
it is mistake to send troops to this
country. And furthermore, I am
convinced that the American people
are not in favor with the policy to-
wards Latin America of the present
administration.
"There exist certain Wall Street
interests who wish to obtain adj
vantageous concessions and raw
materials and want their interests
protected by armed forces of the
American government. Foreign CAPT
tai not backed by marines, is well
received here. I understand that
the mine of La Luz has been worked
here for over twenty years by an
American company, and has passed
through many revolutions, without
the Americans being disturbed in
any way. This is the first time that
the Americans are being bothered.
Trusting that you will give this
letter the attention it deserves, | re-
main,

EXPENSES FOR
SOVIET STUDENT
Special Courses for
Home Industry
By CLARINA NICHOLSON.

10y SLAhl4N IA NIAG11Gl0O4Ns
LENINGRAD, July II (By Mail)
Although home industry in the U.
S. S. R. is necessarily affected by the
increased industrialization there are
still many workers engaged in it,
mostly in addition to their other
work. There are even whole villages
which engage only in home industry.
This work commands good prices
and is in great demand outside the
U. S. S. R.
In Leningrad a large building
houses a School for Home Industry,
started in 1924, where 300 students,
from 16 to 80 years, study linen
making, lace making, wood carving,
metal work, tapestry making, etc.
The four-year course brings workers
from all over the U. S. S. R. They
are given food, clothing, some money
each month and are lodged in a
special dormitory near the school.
In connection with the school is a
museum where are shown specimens
of all the home industries from the
time of Peter the Great to the pres
ent day.

DEATHLOOMS IN
ITALIAN PRISON
Torture Brings Serious
Illness

GENEVA (By Mail) .-Immedi-
ately after sentence was passed on
the Communists in the recent trial
before the special tribunal in Rome
they were transferred to various
prisons. Until now it was not known
where the prisoners were sent.
According to latest reports, how
ever, it is known that Terracini, who
had been sentenced to % years in
prison, was transferred to "Santo
Stefano." This prison, in which the
worst criminals are placed, is the
worst prison hole in Italy. Terra
cini, who has been behind bars since
the spring of 1926, became seriously
i'll.
At the trial in Rome he already
showed that he had suffered from
mishandling that led to his illness.
In the hell-hole of Santo Stefano,
Terracini's condition grows worse
every day. 1t is feared that in a
short time the same will happen to
him as happened to many others i'm
prisoned by Mussolini.

To Apply to All Anti
Government Actions

LISBON, Portugal, July 81
The law passed by the Council of
Ministers that metes out punish
ment to all those who attempt or
"conspire to overthrow the govern
ment," DEGREES that deportation
shall be the penalty.
Workers here regard this new
law with much apprehension since
it can be turned against them in
strikes and mass demonstrations as
well as against those participating
in the armed revolt of last week.
The participants in the uprising
in Lisbon will be exiled to the island
of Timor, in the Malay archipelago
off Australia. The soldiers of the
garrison will be sent to the African
colonial service for three years.

From America

BALTIMORE, Md, July 81
Evidence has just been discovered
that the prudishness of the Amer

in history, and would have aroused
the indignation of the Ancients.
After having circulated for 1900
years, the story of Daphnis and
Chloe, Greek love classic known to
students thruout the world and not
even objected to during the Dark
Ages of church rule and supersti-
ton, has been marked taboo" by
the American authorities.
A translation of the story pub
lished in England was held up here
by the customs officers on the
ground that it would Corrupt

Day, Low Wages

FITCHBURG, Mass. by MaiD.
Unable longer to endure the long
hours, low pay and unbearable
working conditions, workers on the
city's new reservoir dam have walk
ed out in a body. The strikers de-
mand a reduction of hours from ten
to nine and pay increase from
40 to so cents an hour.
The strikers ranks are holding
firm despite the threats of coercion
being made by the city government.
Efforts to resume work on the res

have thus far met with little sue
