EARTHQUAKES IN
ITALY ENDANCER
WORKERS Lives
Vicinity Near Bologna
Is Hit Worst

BOLOGNA, Itady, April 22.-The
population of Bologna and the sur
rounding districts have been in dan
ger for the last two weeks as a
result of frequent earthquakes of
carrying intensity in the vicinity.
Daily for the last ten days and
almost daily over a longer period,
the city had felt shocks of varying
intensity. Many poor workers have
moved from their homes and are
living in tents to escape danger of
falling buildings.
A rather severe shock this morn
ing caused more excitement than
usual and damaged several homes
and public buildings.
The steeple in the village of San
MARITIME also was badly damaged
and numerous houses in the district
were cracked.
The situation is considered seri-
Gus with the continuous earthquakes
destroying the meager possessions
not only of the workers in the city,
but of the peasants in the surround
ing country.

NOGALES, Sonora, Mex, April
22.-"RebeP troops were reported
converging on Masiaca, Southern
Sonora, today preparing for stand

the west coast through the State

Alberto Castrillon, the leader of
the 10000 banana plantation work
ers of Colombia in their strike few
months ago, has been court-martial-
ed and sentenced to 25 years in jail
The first reports were that Castril-
Ion was among those workers who
were murdered. We learn now from
the Confederation of Labor of Co.
lombia that he had been jailed and
held incommunicado by the state
police under the orders of the
United Fruit Company.
The strike of the banana work
crs, arising out Of their protest
against the horrible conditions, soon
transformed itself into a struggle
against American imperialism. Hun
dreds of workers were ruthlessly
murdered, and hundreds more were
jailed by the Colombian govern
ment, acting as a tool Of Wall
Street. The United States Section
Of the Ajl-America Anti-Imperialist
League rallied American workers in
mass protest demonstrations in
support of the strikers.
The life of this anti-imperialist
fighter is in danger. The workers
and other sincere anti-imperialist
forces who participated in the dem
onstrations organized by us, must
raise the demand for the immedi-
ate release OF Alberto Castrillon.
The demand must be made not only
upon the government of Colombia,
but upon the United States govern
nlent as well, under whose orders
the strike was ruthlessly crushed.
But we must also demand the re-
lease Of the other imprisoned strik-
ers.
The sentence of Alberto Castrillon
IS another example of the policy of
American Imperialism to smash
any resistance on the part of the
workers and peasants of Latin
America to its brutal domination.
Against this, a mighty wave of
protest must be aroused.
The movement for the freedom
of Castrillon and his comrades will
gain strength with the growth of
the u. S. Section of the All-Amer-
lea Anti-Imperialist League, and of
the World League against Imperial
ism and for National independence.
For that reason, the All-America
Anit-Imperialist League will make
every effort to send large delega-
ton from the United States of
America to the Second World Con-
gress of the League to take place in
Paris, July 20-31st of the year.
Demand the release of Alberto
Castrillon and his comrades!

The elections to the Soviets have

carried on at various places. After
dinner-at the colony. Some washed
their clothes, some tidied up the
yard, some helped the carpenter.
Having finished the work they went
to the library. They read books. But
there were few who read. The books
aid not attract them. The printed
words still seemed dead. But they
liked to look at the pictures. They
had bitter contests at checkers and
chess. In the evening, till dark, they
played on the clearing before the
House of Culture That was the
name given to the bungalow where
the library and the meeting-hal
were located. They played basket
ball, cricket, the game of pegs"
After supper they sang songs. Some
times they listened to stories. Once
in while they danced. They sang
Grishka's favorite international"
and Russian folk-songs.
one of the supervisors had a good
y voice. And so did Big Niura.
How they sang! 1t gave Grishka
tickly sensation in the throat and
made shivers run down his spine. AS
for the stories, some were good, and
others not so good. Nobody was
compelled to listen. One story
Grishka liked best of all. 1t was
about whole nation of people who
were driven by hunger to seek new
places. They settled among big
mountains. They had one archer.
He shot an apple off his sons head.
William Tell was his name. Uh,
fine! "If l hadn't shot it off," he
said, 81 had another arrow ready
for you" This to the governor, who
was like Tsar there.
And it seemed to Grishka that all
this had happened among the noun
tains of their colony. And here is
the very lake. ;. Everything is
the same. At times they read to
them from books. The story about
Taras Bulba was fine.
But Grishka himself, like the
of the children, did not like
to read. Active life overshadowed
the book. The time after supper
flew by like a minute. And though
the days exhausted them, yet when

the colony the boys would carry on
at bedtime. But before long Grish-
ka noticed that this had stopped.
The fact is-they hardly had time
to sit down during the entire day.
So the bed would calm them at once.
AND the summer keeps stringing
"a day upon day, as upon thread.
And the end of the thread is coming
soon. The sun began to give way.
1t seemed to be weakening. 1t still
gave warmth-but only for short
time each day, and then hid away to
rest. Gossamers began to culver
among the trees. The leaves began
to turn to gold before their death.
There were all kinds of rumors
about Martynov's colony. Some
came from the city to inspect it.
They disapproved.
One commission said:
There is not enough educational
work. Too much exacting physical
labor. 1t is harmful at this age"
Martynov twitched all over, rubbed
his hands, and laughed:
"And you would like just to pose
for a picture of you at work, and
then quit? Then better keep away
from us. We've got our own educa-
ton here. When winter comes, then
they'll sit down to books. There's
no time for it now. We must work
in order not to 'croak' in the winter
time. You'll shut down the Chill
dren's Homes in winter, but we'll
survive. Did you see any sick in
my place? Khny."
An angular, red-haired woman
came from Moscow. She had been
sent to be fed up a bit, and, at the
same time, on business. She
snooped about, and her lips frightened
grimly:
"There are some morally defective
children here. There is no special
work being done with them"
Martynov slapped his thighs and
laughed again:
write book about it. We can
use it for toilet-paper."
And suddenly he grew ferocious:
II brought thieves from the city.
Where are our locks? Only on the
store-rooms. And who have the
keys? Those very same thieves.
What's been stolen? Neither the

J. ubeahd Gibson PROPOSES Plan Dangerous Britain at Genera Conference
SHIFT TONNAGE
CLASSIFICATION
FOR ADVANTAGE
Would Obscure USSR
Peace Proposals

GENEVA, April 22-With great
show of making a concession, Hugh
S. Gibson, United States ambassa-
dor to Belgium and head of the
American delegation to the prelim-
mary arms conference here, today
accepted in principle the French
theory of shifting tonnage from one
class to another and struck a blow
at the British position.
England, which wants cruiser
tonnage limited to 6,000-ton vessels,
because England has plenty of coal
ing stations for craft of small cruis-
ing radius, has been fighting U. S.
imperialism's demands for lots of
10,O00-ton cruisers, which don't need
so many coaling stations.
Blow at Rival.
Now with the Concession" from
Gibson, speaking for Hoover, the
tory government will be put in the
position of appearing to rebuff a
peace proposal" or of allowing the
U. S. to convert the tonnage allotted
to it for 6,000-ton cruisers into
smaller number of ships, but of
equal total tonnage and more battle
power OF the 10,000-ton type.
Another wedge is thus driven or
lttof1a foI fA ha Jx,1,r hn+1,,oo,,
France and England. France wants
TO build many submarines, and thus
agrees to the proposition of shift
ing tonnage from one class To an
other.
Dodging L. S. S. r. Proposals.
The third purpose of the Gibson
speech today seems to have been to
give the conference something much
less embarrassing to talk about than
the proposals of Litvinoff repre-
'senting the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics. The Workers and Pea
SAINTS government proposed that the
conference state whether it really
meant to 80 anything toward dis
armament, first, and secondly pro-
rosed plan for partial disarma-
lnent
The diplomats and militarists at
the conference Of course have no in
tention either of disarming or ac-
cepting any workers theories about
such subject, and will now get
back to their main tasks of jockey
ing for advantage. Gibson's plan,
though directed against England, is
something that the British govern
nent likes better than disarmament,
tnd the bargaining begins anew.
