The Daily Worker, as the
Leader of the Mill Strikers,
Feared by Textile BarOns

leader of the struggles of the textile workers of
the South for living wage and decent conditions the
Daily Worker badly scared the mill barOns Of Gastona
n c. where thousands of textile workers have gone On
strike against their slavery.
The splendid solidarity of the strikers proved so
great surprise to the mill that they forced
to resort to the circulation Of lying circulars slanderng
the strike leaders, attempting to indac the strikers
by hints at reign Of terror to come.
But all to no result.
One of these vicious bombasts Of the mill rnagnatcs
in particular showed how the Daily Worker has become
known as champion of the struggles of all workers.
Those of you we consider reliable may return to
work by Wednesday nOOn April TO-"
The strikers just laughed at this. It further reads
"To all others using houses must respectfully
request that you at to let have the
at the earliest possible moment"
The strikers determined defiance was the reply to
this threat to evict them from their homes.
Now read this:
"And so we put an end to a subscription drive to a
small newspaper in New York City, the Daily Worker"
The Daily Worker, giving full publicity to the strike
Of the southern mill workers. and urging them in their
struggles has thus red the mill bosses. Stung by the
eagerness with which the strikers have received the Daily
they have resored to this c about having put end
the Daily subscription drive.

struggles of the textile workers has always been and
will always be- in the vanguard Of the struggles of the

BELGIUM BACKED
CONGO SERFD0M
More Details in Tale of
Negro Starvation

CAPE TOWN, South Africa,
April 10.--Further details, includ-
ing inter-tribal serfdom, encouraged
by the Belgian Congolese govern
ment, have been added to the tale
of death by famine and combined
British and Belgian rifles and ma
chine guns, which makes up the fu-
tile struggle of thousands of Ne
groes in Belgian Ruanda against
consuming starvation.
Previous reports told of desperate
revolt of thousands of natis es under
the brother of the native king of
Ruanda and rriestess of the Nga
Bingri tribe, revolt of Negroes IN
the swamps, fighting machine guns
with spears.
There was also censored account
ing their track strewn with dying
Jungle in search of food in British
territory, hundreds of their bodies
piled by the track they took through
the swamps, the bodies of the fallen,
though still living, torn by hyenas,
leopards and liens. 1t is now re-
ported that numbers of wild beasts
have gathered along the line OF
march as though it were a feeding
ground.
The Belgian Congolese govern
ment's attempt to shift blame for
conditions which can no longer be
ignored has revealed the fact that
it had encouraged the serfdom OF
the Bahuti natives to the warlike
Batusi tribe. The government claims
that is could not compel the latter
to feed the Bahutis.
The Bahutis are enslaved to the
Batusis under a semi-feudal sys-
tenn. which the Congolese govern
ment has done nothing to disturb,
but has utilized in securing slaves
for its own purposes in gathering
rubber.
Fifty thousand of the starving
Bahutis are reported to have passed
through one town in Uganda, leav-
ing their track sterwn with dying
men, women and children. The trek
Of the Bahutis for food has been 60
ing on since November.
The Congolese government, fear
ing that it has more to lose by at
tempting to conceal conditions any
longer, now claims it is taking re-
lief measures.

Italian Fascist PAPERS Lose
Circulation at a Rapid Rate

(Tha following article is taken
from the Chicago Daily News
and was written by the Italian
correspondent of that newspaper
in Rome. Unfortunately the ar
ticle had to be re-translated from
the Italian. The article is COM
pletely authentic except for the
style, which has undoubtedly been
lost in the double translation. Tr.)
In 1922, before the commencement
Of the fascist regime, there were 592
newspaper kiosks in Rome which
sold an approximate total of 100000
copies OF the newspapers appearing
in Rome. Since 1922 the population
of Rome has increased considerably
ard numbers at the present time ap-
proximately 100000. Today, how
ever. the number of newspaper
Eiosks has diminished to APO and
their Gaily sale approximates no
more than 100000 newspapers.
Great Decrease.
The largest Italian morning news
paper, the "Messaggero." has cir
culation no larger than $4,000 today,
$4,000 in Rome and $4,000 in the
provinces. The total daily circula-
ton OF the "Giornale d'Italia,"
which appears from midday to mid
night in six editions, is approx
n,ately 10000, that is to say, about
one-tnird of its former circulation.
Another newspaper, the "Tri-
buna," which for 40 years has been
the semi-official of one government
after another, prints total daily
edition of 10000 The "Lavoro
d'Italia" (re-named a few weeks
ago "Lavoro Fascista"), the official
organ of the fascist trade unions,
has circulation of about 100000
day. but only because every branch
of the fascist trade unions is COM
PEELED to take certain number. In
Rome itself less than 500 copies are
sold.
The "Corriere d'Italia," the Off
cial organ of the fascist Catholic
"Center," prints a total daily edi-
ton of 5000 copies. The "Popola
di Roma" the second largest morn
ing newspaper, has total daily edi-
ton of 10000 copies. The other
fascist daily newspapers appearing
in Rome, the "Tevere," the "Im-
pero," the "Brillante" and the "Pic-
COLO" have a total circulation not
exceeding 5000 copies.
The Milan "Corriere della Sera"
has still the largest circulation of
all Italian newspapers, but even its
has considerably de-
creased.
Subsidized.
(The above figures, given by the
Rome correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News" substantiate a fact
which has long been known to us,
i. e., that great sections of the Ital-
ian people, who formerly read the
daily press, now express their hos
tility towards fascism by refusing
to buy or read the fascist news
papers. The consequence of this
tremendous loss of readers and the
consequent reduction of advertising
matter, is that the entire Italian
press, with the exception of the
"Corriere della Serra," is working
at a dead loss. The tremendous de-
ficit which is made daily is made up
by the Preserve funds" of the vari-
Gus ministries, or, in other words,
cut of the pockets of the taxpay-

DELHI, India, April 10.-Reports
have been received here that the
strike movement in Bombay is
spreading in spite of police perse-
oution of the workers leaders, the
falling of the most active and the
repeated raids on trade union head
quarters.
Groups Of railway workers on the
Bengal State Railways are the
latest to join the strike of the TO-
coo textile workers at the Tata
plant, who walked out at the outset
Of the British terror and who are

head Of the powerful railwaymen's
union, who was seized in Calcutta
early in the Anglo-Indian raids and
is still in prison.
In the Shabad district the land
workers have also gone on strike,
