lawyer in the cabinet of the president of the
United States with control over precisely
that department that will supervise the con-
struction and the operation of the super
power plant at Boulder Dam. In plain words.
the Boulder Dam bill is devised so that the
government builds the dam at an expenditure
OF $165,OOO,O00, and then turns it over to the
power trust. Such present makes it possible
for the trust to scrap its small plants in the
region affected and, with the operation of
Boulder Dam under its control, places the
trust in such favored position that it will
have complete monopoly of electric power.
The development of Boulder Dam will have
a pronounced effect upon the industrializa-
ton of the Southwest. But instead of the west
coast industrialists for whom Hiram John
son speaks; this development will take place
under domination of the power trust, which
means under the influence of the Continental
and Commercial and other banks that dom
mate insults power trust.
Certainly those capitalist papers, profess
ing liberalism, who see in the passage of the
Boulder Dam bill defeat of the power trust
are either stupid or deliberately lying The
passage of the bill in its amended form is an
eAdlllple VI Clle merging VI government WIN
business. Now that the bill is passed some
of the senators are beginning fight on the
recess appointment of insults man, Roy O.
West. They may succeed in bringing to light
so many shady deals of the secretary of the
interior that he will have to get out. In that
case Hoover would probably appoint as his
secretary of the interior, not tool of insult,
not hireling lawyer, but insult himself, just
as Dwight w. Morrow replaced Sheffield in
Mexico and as millionaire, Hoover, the per-
sonification of imperialist aggression and in
tensified exploitation of the working class,
replaces the puppet, Cal Coolidge.

TRY ITALIAN REFUGEE
U ModMguo Faces ExHadition to Italy

PARIS, Inprecorr) On the Goth
of November the trial of the Italian
worker Sergio Di Modugno who shot
dead the fascist vice-consul in
Paris on the 18th of December, 1927,
took place before a jury in Paris.
The accused, who was political
fugitive, had visited the Italian Cen
eral Consulate in order to obtain
permission for his wife and child.
who had remained in Italy, to join
him in France. Di Modugno had
already made countless fruitless at
tempts to obtain permission for his
wife and child to leave Italy. He
asked to speak with the vice-consul,
Nardini. The latter answered his
request in a still more insolent and
overbearing fashion than usual and
declared that the Italian govern
ment would not permit the families
of political fugitives to cross the
frontier. The wife and child of Di
Modugno were thus held by the fas-
cists as hostages.
In burst of fury embittered and
despairing, Di Modugno drew a re-
volver and shot down the repre-
sentative of the government which
had imposed such suffering upon
the toiling people of Italy.
The killing of Nardini was a poll

Boulder Dam

Both the United States Senate and the
House of Representatives have passed the
Swing johnson Boulder Dam bill, authorizing
an appropriation of $165 100000 for the
construction of dam at Boulder or Black
Canyon on the Colorado River between New
ada and Arizona. Only the signature of Cool
idge is now necessary to end the long strug-
gle over this bill. Originally the bill was
sponsored by Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia in the interest of industrialists who
wanted to obtain cheap power and railroads
that wanted to electrify their lines in the
Southwest.
The development of the project would
enormously cheaper the cost of electric power
over thousands of miles of territory. Cities
and towns could obtain power for their in
dustries and traction lines much cheaper than
from power plants generating electricity.
The power and public utility trust began
a fierce fight against the Boulder Dam bill,
establishing an expensive high-powered lobby
at Washington. Samuel insult, the Chicago
public utilities magnate Immediately began
maneuvering to get political lackeys in the
senate to fight for his special interests
against the bill So open and fragrant was

of the bill to prevent Smith being seated.
Millions of dollars invested in California and
the Southwest power plants and structures
and the profits therefrom were at stake, if
the bill passed as originally proposed.
After fight through two sessions of con-
gress the bill finally passed, with amend
ments and riders that were satisfactory to
the power trust. The bill now before Cool

The Central Committee of the
Independent Trade Unions of Bull
garia has appealed to the workers
of the world in its fight against the
new wave of fascist, terrorism
sweeping the country. The appeal
follows:
A wave of Terror in Bulgaria.
Appeal of the Independent Trade
Unions of Bulgaria to the Interna-
tional Proletariat.
Dear Comrades!
The five years of raging white
terror which the Bulgarian govern
nient has exercised against the Bull
garian proletariat has not been
able, in spite of the numerous vic
Tins which have fallen under this
terror, either to crush the working
class or to cause it to abandon the
struggle. In spite of everything the
proletariat of Bulgaria stands firm
as a part of the front of the Inter
national Proletariat.
In recent times, and especially
after the conclusion of the loan from
the capitalist states, the Bulgarian
government-in fulfillment Of the
will of these imperialist powers
has commenced a campaign of an
initiation against the working class
and especially against the indepen-
debt trade unions. This also in or
der the more easily to use the Bull
garian workers as cannon fodder in
the war which is being prepared
against Soviet Russia and in which
Bulgaria is to serve as military
base.
We mention only a few Of the
most characteristic facts as illustra-
ton of the cruel terror of recent
times. WA

Of the Central Committee of our in
dependent trade unions, Comrades
Jordan Milev, general secretary, and
Avram Stolyanov, workers deputy,
were arrested on the charge OF hav-
ing infringed the law for the de-
Tense of the state. While in prison
these comrades have been subjected
to such a murderous regime that
they have been converted into COM
plete physical wrecks.
2. Along with these comrades
there are also sixteen other COM
rades, charged (under the same bar
barous law for the defense of the
state) with being members and or
ganizers of the Communist Party.
In order to extort the desired "con-
fessions" from them all the arrested
comrades are subjected to the most
horrible fortunes, with the result
sbat nearly all of them are i'll, some
Of them being in danger OF death.
