Investigation" will be dispensed
with ease in the case of the 56-year-
old German freighter Quinmistan,
which, en- route from Norfolk, Va,
to Genoa, where it was scheduled to
h junked, sprung a leaf in the port
Ode last Sunday night, forcing the
crew to take to the lifeboats after
q fire had been built on the fore
castle head in the vain hope that a
passing vessel would sight the sink
ing tub.
The men were picked up by the
President Harrison on Wednesday
nd arrived there Saturday. Captain
kietsch, who was in command of the
hulk, denied that the Quinmistan
was unseaworthy, as he was expected
to do, altho it was learned that the
former master, Theodore Weisa, left
the ship at Norfolk, refusing to
chance the voyage to Genoa, which
the greedy ship-owners insisted on
having made, willfuily endangering
the lives of the crew for the sake
of few more dollars of profit.

Attended by executive board men,
bers from all sections of the country,
the meeting heard extensive reports
on conditions in the industry given
by Louis Hyman, president, and Ben

Destroyed 4O-Hour Week.
"The employers and their company
union," says statement issued by
the General Executive Board, "have
succeeded in destroying the 40-hour
week, in introducing piece work and
slave driving speed-up methods, in
greatly reducing the wage standards
of 1926, and generally destroying the
conditions won by the workers thru
the left wing unions in the 1926 fur
and cloak strike. The condition of
the mems tailors are even more de-
plorable. The terror and slavery
prevailing there have lead to the re-
cent revolts of the tailors in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Rochester"
Offensive Is Planned.
The G. E. B. adopted carefully
worked out plans to check the en-
ployers' offensive and to mobilize
the needle trades workers to meet
the attacks of the employers and the
company unions in the trade. 1t also
decided to broaden the Shop Chair
mems Council and give it more
power and to organize mass de-
tense corps to meet the terror of the
gangsters of the employers and the
right wing.
1t was voted to levy a fifty cent
tax on all members of the union for
the defense of the Gastonia workers
and conduct campaign for their
release in all needle trades shops.
Three members of the G. f B. were
elected as delegates to the Cleveland

FasCism and the Vatican

| That is the significance of the
great concessions which the fascist
government has made in the name
of industrial and finance capital to
the agrarian and clerical interests
The concessions are intended to win
allies in tn countryside. This is the
explanation of the apparently con-
Trajectory policy of fascism towards
the church. The political and trade
union mass organizations of the
church, organization which embraced
petty bourgeois and even proletarian
masses, were smashed by the fas-
cists just as the "red" organizations
were destroyed. The obstinate priests
who were the chief officials of these
organizations and who attempted to
defend them against the fascists, not
from any immediate material consi-
derations, but because the activity
of the priests in these organizations
bound the faithful" more strongly
to the church, were compel ID to
Bloody just as were the workers,
swallow castor oil or were beaten
though of course, the prosecutions
against the catholics were hardly
comparable to the wave of exter-
minating terror which swept down
upon the workers. Catholic priests
were sent to the notorious deporta-
ton islands and housed in barracks
together with criminals, just as were
the socialists, Communists and liber-
al and democratic politicians.
AS compensation the fascist gov
eminent has offered the vatican and
the catholic clergy the fulfilment of
all their wishes upon the religious
field. Of course, that is a concession
at all, for the interests of the cath
ollc church in Italy and the Italian
fascist bourgeoisie are identical. In
its struggle against the working
class the fascist bourgeoisie cannot
and does not wish to abandon the
old and effective opium of religion.
The careful and wary vatican hesit-
ated for a long time. The victory
OF the bourgeoisie did not seem GER
tain enough, further, the vatican
was subjected to pressure from be-
low on the part of the petty-bour-
geoiis and proletarian masses of the
faithful" which felt keenly the OPP
preston of the fascists, whereby
the lower priests acted as the chan
nels along which this pressure was
communicated to the higher priest
hood and the vatican. The first re-
treat of the vatican in the face of
fascism was greeted with storm
of indignation from the lower priest
hood. Even such highly disciplined
religious society as the Jesuits was.
and still is, split into two parts with
regard to fascism, one section being
anti-fascist and the other pro-fascist.
1t Is a well-known fact that the
extremely powerful Cardinal Gas
pari, the enthusiastically of the
vatican, belongs to the anti-fascist
tendency in the catholic church.
However, the power of the victor,
that is in this case the victorious
bourgeoisie, is and always has been
irresistible for the church. The VIC
torious fascist bourgeoisie has now
trodden the most glorious traditions
OF the Risorgimento into the dust
and permitted the resuscitation of

to protect the fascist delegates (who
left on the S. S. Vulcania at mid
night Saturday, from the working
class demonstrators.
For two days previous to its de-
parture, the ship was under heavy
guard, while on the night of sailing
the vicinity resembled an armed
camp. A solid Gordon of police were
lined UP in front of the Vulcania
and prevented everyone except those
able to exhibit passports from cross
ing the street. The Sons Of Italy,
instead of marching to the ship in
a body, sneaked to the pier singly
in taxicabs which deposited them at
the foot of the gangplank.
Among the delegates, mostly petty
Italian business men, were some
workers, who confided to representa-
tives of the Alliance that they had
taken advantage of the pilgrimage"
in order to visit their families in
Italy and because Mussolini had
pormiscd exemption from service in
the army to the pilgrims" Under
fascist law, citizen must put two
years in the armed forces, and even
if he emigrates to and becomes a
citizen of another country, he can
be seized upon returning to Italy
and forced to serve his term. The
worker delegates expressed them
selves as strongly opposed to fas-
cisn, saying that the officials in
charge are breaking up the Sons of
Italy in their attempts to convert
it into fascist organization.

the papal state, although within
modest limits. The pope therefore
no longer sees any reason without
it since 1870.
In the interests of the Italian
workers and peasants who misguid-
eddy permitted themselves to be har-
messed before the chariot of the
clericals in the post war years, in
the interests of their conscious
ness and recognition of their real
interests, the reconciliation between
the pope and the fascist bourgeoisie
must be welcomed!

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Aug.

selves arund it, but did not at

The meeting was under the aus
pieces of the Brazilian section of
the All America Anti-Imperialist
League.
Speaking lasted for two hours,
and the audience passed unanimous
ly and with cheers a resolution con-
demning the murder in Massachu-
sets of these two workers, and de-
nouncing American imperialism
which will not stop at any number
of such murders, to prepare for an
imperialist war to enslave Latin
America.
Speakers announced that the

LIMA, Peru, Aug. %. - Govern
ment newspapers print an evidently.
inspired story attempting to link up
the growing anti-imperialist move
ment here, which recently resulted
in the arrest of 81 members of OPP
position parties, with "a Communist
center in Cuba or Mexico"
The article points out truthfully
enough, that Communists are lead
ers in a series of strike movements,
and anti-governmental uprisings ex-
tending from the banana plantations
of Colombia down the west coast
to Chill. In all of these countries,
the governments assume a steadily
more and more subservient role to
the big American business interests
that have established themselves in
mining, transportation, banking and
fruit growing. Workers demands
for better wages and working con-
ditions are answered with troops
and shootings. The underground
Communist Parties grow rapidly.

One innovation was introduced recently
when q farm woman from Maryland added
homemade sweaters to her stock Of green goods
merchandise She claimed that, as she knit the
sweaters at home, herself during spare time,
while she was waiting for her ornamental
flowers and vegetables to grow, they were
legitimate products for commercial circulation
from her curb stand
The authorities at Center Market, however,
decreed otherwise and ordered her to desist
from the sale of sweaters or to leave the
market. The Government ruling is to the
effect that the small time" tradesmen can sell
anything at the market which they can raise
or grow at home. If the sweater knitter had
raised the sheep, sheared their fleece, and used
the wool in the manufacture Of the sweaters
mentioned she would have been within her
legal rights In selling them at her stand. AS
it was however she bought the WOOL That
purchase was the out-of-place monkey wrench
which wrecked her marketing machinery.
