ow bankrupt, which would have
erhaps manufactured the Lancia
rotor cars of Italy over in Long
sland some day, if Ferrari's bank
ad not gone bankrupt for about
100000 first, has revived series
{ questions relating to the bank,

Tt has now been over two months
ince the City Trust Bank collapsed,
nd Supreme Court Justice ]. T.
Iahoney and his colleague Mr..
fielding, attorneys for the New
FORK banking department, admitted
hat good part of this money was
,tolen, and no attempt has been
nadc to find out who got the
money.
Financed Fascists.
The editor of one fascist news
,aper in New York, II Progresso
ltalo- Americana has admitted that
re was able to borrow large sums
from the City Trust Company for
practically no security. Others are
very much suspected of doing the
same.
Ferrari who ran palatial coun-
ny home in Long Island was one Of
State Superintendent of Banks
Frank H. Warder's best friends. He
stood security for Warder on one
occasion. A motor car Ferrari once
owned is now said to be in posses
sion of member of Warder's fam

Iapsed, before Christmas, Warder
till put his official approval on the
City Trust Bank. Then Ferrari died
sSnder an operation, and three hours

Prospective buyers found that
SSG0,000 foreign credit of the bank
were forged; that 100000 notes
held by the bank were worthless,
and that it was bankrupt. The
ban,. was closed then by Warder.

to the union office the following
day to get their tools.
When they arrived at the union
office, they were accompanied by
seven policemen, two sergeants, sew
elal thugs and detectives and Bender
Returning to the shop
with the tools, they decided to
gather in Washington Square Park
in body on Saturday morning,
from there to proceed to the shop
where party" had been arranged.
Police Aid Thugs.
Getting wind of this, a number of
loyal union members were on the
spot the next morning to attempt
to convince the group not to scab
en- their striking shopmates. When
they attempted to speak to them,
several gangsters attacked Ivanoff.
When the rest of the group rushed
to mis- aid, DeLisse, one Of the gang
sters, pointed Biedenkapp out to the
police, who had been summoned by
Bender. The police brutally fell
upon him, beating him badly with
their clubs. He still carries some
of the wounds on his face and sears
Of the vicious attack on his body.
AS an answer to this brutal at
tack perpetrated jointly by the
bosses and scabs working hand in
hand with the Tammany police and
gangsters, the Independent Shoe
Workers Union calls upon workers
in the shoe industry not to be mis-
led by the bosses, who will impose
worse working conditions on them
after cabling them back to work
with false promises. A redoubling
of the efforts of members of the
union in the great organization
drive is urged as the weapon with
which to strike a death blow to the
combined reaction in the shoe in
dustry.
Strikers at the Griffin, White
Shoe Co., a Board of Trade shop,
have for five weeks been putting
up valiant struggle against the
vicious tactics of the police and en-
ployers. The bosses have tried all
methods to demoralize the strikers.
Even though the bosses were sue
cessful in getting an injunction
against the strikers, picketing has
continued.
On Friday, Joseph Magliacano,
young strike leader and organizer
of the Independent Shoe Workers
Union, was arrested for picketing,
together with Frank Zounek and
John Rivoli. Immediately afterward
Bill Demietries and Jonas, vice
president of the union, were jailed
Removed to the Gates Ave. Magis-
trates Court on charges of disorderly
conduct, the cases were dismissed.
Immediately upon their release,
picketing was started again, only to
be dispersed after two hours, with
Magliacano again arrested. He was
taken to the supreme court, before
the judge who had issued the in
junction. The bosses did not press
the charges, and he was released
with the warning that picketing
must be stopped.
Others arrested last week included
H. Levine, business agent of the
union, and two brothers, Stephen
Vasil and John Vasil.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, July 3.-R
John d. Rockefeller master Of the
fire art of living, celebrated his
ninetieth birthday anniversary to-
day.

little deviation from the daily rout-
inc by which the veteran oil mag
nate has learned to be healthy and
happy.
The day marks the clc>c Of the
third decade since, having amasSea
81, 600, 900, 900 Mr.. Rockefeller re-
linquished his business interests to
his son and began his pursuit OF
health and happiness.
In those 80 years he has evolved
a philosophy of life based on mod
Grafton and quiet activity so that
where at 90 he was a semi-invalid,
seeking a diet that would agree with
him, today he announced he was IN
perfect health, scanning the future
with cheer and hope.
In a statement he said:
Il have every reason 10 be CRATE
full on my ninetieth birthday. Every
body has been SO kind and good to
me all the year. With perfect health
and full of hope and cheer for the
future, / have nothing but kindness
and good vii for everybody"

Following the world conflict, Prot

poveriShed and di~sorganized. The
Swiss Protectant federation, at the
suggestion Of the Federal Council
Of the Churches Of Christ in Ameri-

From that meeting. with rs rep

the Central Bureau Of Relief of the

rich in charge. The Rev. Kenneth
D. Miller succeeded DR.. Goodrich in

One great problem facing the con-

to find a plan that will not leave
the churches unprepared in event Of
another crisis.
