FASCISTS HARNESS
 FIBER FOR SEAPORT
Rome to Be Kept Accessible
 to Ocean

Rome. Oct. 4.-tP-Father Tiber tired old river, now coursing swift ly but fruitlessly t0 the sea, may once more return to his glory in the time of the ancient Romans, as plans of the Fascist government bear fruit.
 For years old Father Tihor has bowed his hoary head under tie as saults of the railroads. Onaa his brown back carried hundreds of ships coming from all corners of the then-known world, bringing tn" silk and spices of the east, the tin of England and the leather of Africa to Rome, the capital Of the world.
 Today the Tiber is comparatively free of burden. Last year it car ried only 54 ships up 10 the Imd- ing-stage at St. Pauls for 1 -otll of 2,669 tons The same ships carried away only G3S tons of merchandise
 In 1929 the arrival of ships has become even less frequent so trat the sight of a boat hy an inhabjtant of St. Pauls suburb i9 something worth mentioning to a noighn0r.
 But the Fascist government has determined that Eome's advantage in being near the sea shall not be sacrificed. The department of the Tiber has undertaken to cOnfiEe the river within rigid banks from Rome to the sea. so that the current, al- ways swift will deepen the channel automatically.
 In some spots the channel is only six feet. The government hopes 10 make it al least half again IS rrch.
 Other works are under cOnsidcra- tion for the mouth of the river and where the ship canal runs 10 Fium- cino, on the sea. At present ships have difficulty in entering thc ri\,I when the sea is high. The govern ment proposes to construct lylla tC protect the mouth of the riTar rom breakers, and also a 'h&rbOr Ct refuge" into which boats can sai. when the sea is rough.
 Rome Is looking forward to the time when boats capable of travel ing from one end of the MediteTra- mean to the other will be able to sai right up to the walls of Rome. Hith- erto they have had to deposit their cargos at Ciyitavecchia. 40 miles away, which meant reloading or railroad cars and transportation tc Rome at an enormous increase ir the total freight rate.

Tt does seem altogether reason able to assume that point mutations are actually caused by the natural radioactiVity of the earth.
 This fairly conclusive demon stration is of broad biological sig nificance. Possibly it will be found to have equally important practical aspects for agriculture and even for man himself.

Berkeley Cal, Oct. 4.-P)-The vanished tradition of Americas "bare-foSt boys" who absorbed from the soil some of the powers that led Them to statesmanship, was not so utterly wrong in view of sci cntific discoveries this summer at the University of California.
 The findings have nothing to do with bare feet but curiously enough have an indirect bearing on states manship. They disclose radiation from the soil in the act of affecting

Stand toe to toe in fight!
There's courage, too, that keeps man
Immune to any fight;
And also there's a valor fine
So fearless and so bold!
That spurs man to save life
From deathly waters cold.
All three give men a vital strength;
Each ones worthy tool,
With which man can hew some fame
For having head SO cool.
Hurrahs are raised for folk like these!
But seldom do we hear,

Who hold peace, beauty dear;
Who have the courage to see through,
When everything goes wrong;
Who make this world better place,
Because their FAITHS so strong!

uCdtloHdl WOTk III the past ana III Cn1S
educational work has not been ac-
companied by the success it deserves,
it was mainly the fault of prevailing
conditions over which the trade unions
had no control. Although the trade
unions as yet do not enjoy that posi-
tion of power to which they are justly
entitled and which they should enjoy
in the interests of the wage workers,
the fact cannot be successfully denied
that wage and working conditions
have been tremendously improved as
the result of past trade union activity.
Without the latter the eight-hour
work-day would today not be gen
eral reality. Aside from the eight
hour day there are quite a number of
additional improvements, which no
decades ago and which have since en-
abled the workers to enjoy more
pleasant life. To enumerate all Of
these important achievements within
the limited confines of an editorial is
an impossibility and the mere state
ment must therefore suffice that many
things which the average worker to-
day accepts as matter of course
would not have been made possible
had it not been for the untiring up
lifting trade union activity during the
past few decades.
This successful activity on the part
of the trade unions is not only known
to the trade union members themsel-
yes. Quite number of the still un-
organized must also be aware of it.
And this knowledge must prevail
among them because on quite numer-
Gus occasions men of repute in public
life and in science have openly stated
that much cultural improvement
among the workers is directly trace
able to the uplifting work of the trade
unions Whoever cares to acquaint
himself with the activity of the trade
union along social lines cannot help
but admit admirably the great achieve
ments accomplished. In the tenacious
and continuous struggle against the
benefciaries of production, the scien-
fists maintained by them, all bureau
cracy, and, last but not least, against
the will Of misled employees the trade
unions through sensible and system
attic work have paved the way, remov-
ing all obstacles in the path of which
needed economic and social improve
ments.
All of this and much more was pos
sible because a part of the working
class had realized the value of the
trade unions. Those members of the
trade unions, who have grasped and
have become fellowworkers and CO.
operators in the service of our move
ment and they have again and again
aGitated for new members of our
movement. Through this work of their
members the trade unions grew
stronger and every growth and ad
dition again expressed itself through
greater successes. Growth in member
ship, therefore, means for the trade
union movement growth in power,
which at all times has been of additi-
tional beneficial advantage to the
members.
From these short deliberations we
find that work for the trade unions
has always been in the interest of the
members and that through increased
work in the service of our movement
still greater successes are to be
gained. 1t is quite correct that the
power and influence of the trade un-
ions in their final analysis depends
upon the membership.
