WAGE CUTS IN
BRITISH MILLS
Bosses Seek Big Union
Chief as Partner
MANCHESTER, England, March

MANCHESTER, England, March
11.-While 'closer utilization be-
tween employees and employers" is
being sought by the Lancashire
Cotton Corporation, in the form of
a high union official for member
ship on the firms board of direc-
tors, the owners of Britain's textile
industry are busy forcing ten per
cent wage reductions on the work
ers. Six more manufacturing COM
panies in Bradford's wooden district
announced at the end of last week
that from then henceforth all wages
would be cut ten per cent.
The masses of textile workers are
demanding a strike in answer to
these wage reductions, but the re-
formist tfficialdom of the National
Union of Textile Workers still re-,
fus-5 to take steps in that direction.
Instead of organizing the work
ers to a defensive general struggle
against the pay cuts Ben Turner,
president of the textile unions,
makes the following statement when
told of wage reductions: at is a
very awkward time to cut wages. 1t
cannot make fer that peace in in
dustry which we all desire. The
matter will be considered by the
textile unions next week"
And Arthur Shaw, general secre-
tary, has this to say: when we
consider the time opportune we shall
resist"
According to the opinions of the
rank and file both these big chiefs
seem to be competing for the high
" lucrative post on the board of
directors of the Lancashire Cotton
trust. The Lancashire Cotton Cor
poration is now in the process of
amalgamating large number of
cotton manufacturing firms into
one; and they haven't the slightest
desire to find their mill slaves en-
tering struggles of resistance to the
wage cuts they soon plan to put
over. They are therefore seeking
an official strikebreaker on their
beard of directors.
They have not as yet announced
the name of the lucky one on whom
their choice fell.
From the current of deep resent
ment against the repeated betray-
ais and the CHESAPEAKE policies of
the union officialdom, is to be seen
the rock on which the hopes of the
bosses and their agents will foun-
der, according to the leaders of the
mass left wing movement in the
textile industry.

socialists" Restrain
Workers in Fight With
the Austrian Fascist

VIENNA, (By MaiD.-A serious
collision occurred on Feb. 3 in the
lower Austrian industrial town Of
Glognitz between workers and men,
bers of the Heimwehr austrian
fascist organization). The social
democrats in this district had
adopted the tactic of holding public
meetings and inviting the fascists
to attend them in order to settle the
differences peacefully with argu-
ment.
The fascists put an end to this
reble battle of wits by developing it
into another battle. They broke up
a meeting orgar ICED by the social
democrats. The fascists attended in
military formation. A number of
workers were more or less seriously
wounded and the social-democratic
alderman, Pichler, of Vienna Neu-
stadt, a notorious .anti-Communist,
not averse TO using violence against
Communist workers, also received
q besting. The Workers Hall in
Glogni.z was devastated.
This incident las caused a wave
Of indignation amongst the working
class in lower Austria, and the So
cial-democratic leaders are having
considerable trouble to put on the
brakes. A series Of meetings were
called for TODAY. the idea being to
let the workers work off steam in
these meetings. There is great
feeling amongst the workers for a
protest strike. 1t is not impossible
that this incident viii cause govern
mental complications, as the chris
ton socialists in the coalition gov
eminent have shown themselves
more and more friendly to the
Heinawchr fascists recently.

No Books for Italy
Without Permission
of Fascist Govt
(Red AID Press SerUice)

BERLIN (By MaiD According
to recent reports from Rome, no
books are to be published, no matter
whether they are of political con-
tent or not, without special permits
sion from the fascist party. This
is the decision of the general Sec
rotary of the fascist party, who now
with the consent Of Mussolini has
sent a letter to all party secretaries
on this matter.
From today on" goes the letter,
"all printers and publishers are or
dered to submit proofs before any
book is published. Books Of so-called
literary character must receive es-
pecial attention, since they criticise
the fascist movement and poke fun
at it."

Bulgar Govt Attempts
TO Jail Leaders in the
Anti Terror Struggle
(Red Aid Press Service)

SOFIA, Bulgaria, (By Mail).-
For some time the government and
it's supporters have been carrying
on furious campaign of calum-
ny in the press and in public against
the growing mass movement against
the terror.
The government has now gone a
step further and has commenced a
process against the Sofia Commit
tee for the Struggle against the
White Terror. The process is based
upon the law for the protection of
the state and is directed against the
program Of action of the committee.
The process is of course an attempt
to bring the leaders of the move
ment into prison.

LONG TERMS FOR
ITALIAN WORKERS
Prisoners Cry, Long
Live Communism"
(Red Aid Press Service)

oCANAAANs Wy hdll - Ic ldS-
cist terror in Italy against Commu-
nists and workers continues with
growing ferocity. The special tribun-
al at Rome hands out longer and
longer terms every day.
On Feb. ten workers from Genoa
were before the special tribunal,
under the charge of having built up
the Communist organization and
distributed Communist propaganda,
which the workers did not deny, but
were proud of. After summary
and short process the court passed
the following sentences:
Long Live Communism
Carlo Terragnoli, 8 years,
months; Carlo Piccolo, Z; Antonio
Piu, 6; Raffaele Piergostoni, 5; Clio
vambattista Sivero, A; Silvio Pede-
monte, ga; Edilio Maltese and An
acleto Boccalatte, years each; Gino
Salvetti, 2; Pietro Bisagn, l year,
3 months.
When sentence was read Sivero
and Piccolo shouted: Long live
Lenin! Long live Communism"
Sentence Heightened.
The state attorney Immediately
entered new charge against these
two and demanded that the tribunal,
at the same sitting, lengthen their
terms. He based his demand on the
fact that the shouts were "a protest
against the justice of the highest
court and a token of violent prin-
ciples," and for that reason must be
punished severely.
The tribunal sentenced Piccolo to
another years and Sivero to an
other and one half years prison.
Young Communists.
The trial of group of young
Communists took place before the
special tribunal on Feb. 2. The
tribunal declared that they were
connected with an illegal organiza-
ton which had branches in Milan,
Turin, Genoa, Venedig and Trieste.
The tribunal declared the follow
ing sentences: Severino Biachini,
81 years; Sante Bonacchi, 6 years;
Mario Maccio, 5; Arturo Dele
Plane, u; Antioch, 8; Tommaso Baz-
zurri, 3; and Fosio Fierabracci, 2
years.
In the two years of its existence
(the first trial took place before it
on Feb. 1, 1920 the special tribunal
at Rome-in the carrying out of its
task to bury the active anti-fascists
the following record:
In. til year 1927, 207 accused
workers were sentenced by it to l.
243 years of prison. In the year just
passed the number of sentenced
workers and the length of the sem
fences were four times larger: 1872
sentenced to 1922 years of prison.
during these two years
932 anti-fascists were sentenced to
4,765 years of prison. In addition
there is the death sentence against
Della Maggie, the first legal MUIR
der of fascism.

TARIFF
OR BILL DIES,
SAYS NYE

An Insurgent tariff slogan Of
slash the industrial rates or kill
the bill' was proposed today by
Senator Nye CR.l OF North Dakota
for the tariff battles'pending in the
Senate.
Protesting against the increased
protection given eastern Industries
in tho new bill, Nye declared agri.
culture would be on lower economic
level. as compared with Industry.
than ever before In history. IL the
measure became law in its present
form.
For every dime of protection
given agriculture" he said, "this bill
would make farmers pay a dollar in
tolls on the things they buy. He will
be worse off with bill a law than
IL no bill were enacted.
so far as am concerned, would
prefer no new tariffs at all to en-
actment Of the present bill.
The West wants to see tariff
revision confined to agriculture and
its related products. That was the
purpose of the special session and
that purpose ought not to be be-
trayed. If the Senate refuses to
eliminate most of the increases
given industrial rates, would be
willing to join in a movement to
defeat the bill in its entirety.
The tariff wars meanwhile sank
into the background with the Senate
in recess until Saturday. On that
day another recess will be taken
over Labor DAY until September 4
when debate on the tariff bill will
commence.
The Democratic tariff leaders will
meet throughout the remainder of
this week, drafting minority amend.
ments and planning a campaign of
action for the battle in the Senate.
