The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-12-21
By PIETRO (vienna).

The Italian senate, at its session
leld on Nov. Is, sanctioned two bills:
IN the authorized powers Of the
Great Fascist Council, and on the
Magma Charta of labor"
Charter "Legalizes" Terror.
The fascist newspapers praise the
lew laws as a Decentralization" of
he fascist dictatorship, by which
he latter is stripping off its in
liy.dual character" This is natur-
ally a piece of hypocrisy, The fas-
list terror regime is long out of the
lursery stage of petty-bourgeois Sin
lividualism.;"
The new laws are merely the
iuridical incorporation in the con-
,titution" of state of affairs which
las long existed de facto: the cruel
ule of force, embodied in thousands
f institutions of the bourgeois
tate and exercised by the Italian
zig capitalists and large landowners
nd by their executive organ, the
Great Fascist Council, over the
vorking population of Italy. It is
rule of force which tolerates no
pposition, not even from the bour-
yeos camp.
Elected Chamber Abolished.
The law relating to the Great
Fascist Council represents an ex-
ension Of the law already passed on
'ranchise reform. The pivot on
yhich this reform turns is the aboli-
ion of the chamber of an elected
ody. It's members are to be prac-
ically appointed by the fascist
arty organs, for the franchise re-
orm grants the Great Fascist Coun-
il the right to select the deputies
,greeable to it from the names pro-
,osed by the fascist organizations
or the elections to the chamber.
Fascist Council Becomes State.
The new law on the powers be-
lowed on the Great Fascist Council
.ysnes even further. 1t embodies the
,rea\ Fascist Council itself in the
,orpoNive state, rs the "synthesis
u the Whole of the forces and in
titutionNpf the nation" The law

GREEN BUYS
OUT COHENS
One of City's Bes'
Locations Changes
Hands Today

Sale Of the I. Cohen Dry Goods
store, Eleventh and Elizabeth streets
to g.. c. Green. proprietor Of the
Universal Dress Shop, was a%nnounc-
cd here today.
The Cohen store occupies one Of
the best locations IN the city and
has a large stock of Christmas goods
on hand ut present.
Green obtains the entire stock Of
the concern which he intends TO con-
solidate with his and put on a large
Christmas sale.
The special Christmas sale start
ed today and the new proprietor
hopes to clean a large portion Of the
stores shelves preparatory to remod-
cling the Cohen store after the holt
days.
Green obtained Cohen's lease on
the choice location. II has three
years to run.
This purchase and move marks the
fifth successive expansion Of Mr..
Green since starting in business
here five ears ago in a small room
at Twelfth and Adams streets. now
included in the space occupied by
the Sommers Furniture ompan
The following year his trade had
increased to such an extent that he
felt justified in removing TO larger
and better quarters at Twelfth and
Washington, a site nov occupied By
the Manautou store.
The company's expansion then en-
ablcd Mr.. Green TO taxi up quarters
az the store room now occupied By
Alamo Clothing Co, then TO the
present location Of the Universal
Dress Shop, 52g Eleventh street.
Each move made by the concern
has been a progressive one to larger
quarters and increased stock. Mr..
Green's policy has been one Of qual.
ity material for the lowest possible
price.
Il plan 70 continue expanding. The
new store will be a high class dry
gods and clothing concern, handling
quality products NJ the best possible
prices Green stated Tuesday morn
ing.
The two stores, Cohen's stand and
the Universal Dress Shop. will be
consolidated, giving the concern a
wide range Of merchandise. Green
said.
The Cohen location will be remod-
eled after the Christmas holidays
and modern fixtures and methods
will be installed, Il was said.

Of the Bolivian government to the

neither attacked nor occupied any of
the forts named. and therefore the
Paraguayans could not have recap
