Bash full Max already has declared himself ono of the outstanding caudidatra for the film houors of his country.
 X good deal of his time, too, Max spends entertaining in" various members Of his American mana gorlal staff who make frequent but unsuccossful trips 10 Germany in rN- pcnsivo efforts 10 lure the daNdlme one back 10 the profitable rings Of the United States. In vain they aS- sure him that all has been forgiv.1 by the boxing commissions with which ho wranGlcd during his last visit,

 The German intends 10 stay where he is until April at least.

Edwards Trial Today;
Girls in Demonstration
Report to LID at Once

Fred Edwards, his left eye closed
from brutal smuggling given him
by police and detectives after they
had arrested him, and his face torn
and swollen from the effects of a
blackjack and fists welded by some
of Whalen's thugs, told yesterday
in an interview with The Daily
Worker how it happened.
Edwards was in the group Of sew
eral hundred young workers who
carried John Porter, released from
military prison, in triumph through
the streets of lower Manhattan
Wednesday. Police attacked the
working youth in Wall Street, and
Edwards reused their anger by his
vigorous defense of several girl
workers who were being beaten up
by the police. He ran when a group
of police started for him, but was
caught and loaded into a taxi with
two detectives and a policeman. On
the way to the p0lite station they
proceeded to beat him up, one of
the detectives using a blackjack.
Witnesses Should Report.
He was charged with assault in
the third degree" came up for hear
ing Wednesday morning, and be-
cause the lawyer was not there
was bound over in $500 bail for
trial in the First District Court to-
day.

Edwards for the international La
Dor Defense, calls on all girl work.

BOSTON STRIKERS
Win MORE POINTS
AGAINST BOSSES
Socialist Lawyer Asks
Judge Jail Pickets

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 27-The
Needle Trade Workers Industrial
Union won another victory today
when they forced a very important
dress shop to settle, with union con-
ditions, including the 40-hour week,
obtained by the workers.
Strike-breaking methods, gangster
attacks and mobilization of all black
forces by the international Ladies'
Garment Workers, the police and
the bosses has failed completely to
hurt the strike.
Dubinsky, secretary-treasurer of
the I,L.G.W., now hardly more than
scab agency, sent his gorillas in
to the struck zone again today, and
another hot fight resulted on the
picket line. A number Of arrests
were made Of workers who defended
themselves against the thugs.
Socialist HOwls for Jail.
In court the socialist party leader,
Bearak, appears as the attorney for
the bosses, defends the gunner sent
by Dubinsky, and demands long sem
fences for the strikers. Today, Sar-
cowitz, a rank and file strike leader,
was sentenced to a month in jail
on a frame-up charge. The union
is appealing the case, and he is out
on bail.
The scabs, so far, provided by Du-
binsky and his clique, are being dis
charged by the employers, as they
spoil the work, and the bosses are
demanding professional scabs from
New York be sent by the I.L.G.W.
All of Dubinsky's fake maneuvers
to fool the the workers have been
exposed and defeated completely. An
enthusiastic mass meeting was adj
dressed this afternoon by Louis Hy-
man, of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union. The spirit of the
strikers is high, and they are as
sured of victory, and the unioniza-
ton of the cloak and dress industry
here.

AFTER SPAIN, ITALY,
WILL SEE THE FALL OF
FASCISM FROM CRISIS
Mussolini Abandons Pet Housing Policy, Rents
Soaring and Discomfort of Masses Grows
Revolutionary Upheavals Occurring in North as
Fascist Rule Resorts to Naked Repression

AMSTERDAM, Holland (By In
precorr Press Service) One of the
most reactionary bourgeois news
papers in Holland, the "Handels-
blad" publishes an extremely inter-
esting report of its Italian CORE
spondent concerning the serious cri-
sis of Italian fascism.
The article points out that for
practically year now Mussolini has
been confined to the Palazzo Vene-
zia, which he hardly ever leaves,
and that in consequence his popular
ity is suffering.
On January 80 Mussolini delivered
a speech in a meeting of the Po-
desta, the appointed dictators of the
Italian municipalities, concerning
the serious economic situation and
the policy of the government. In
this meeting he announced the ahan-
donment of the fascist housing pol
icy. ..s
This was always the main plank
in the fascist Social platform, and
the fascists were never tired Of talk
ing about it and declaring that in a
short space of time fascism would
make an end of the housing misery
left behind by the bourgeois gov
ernments.
In the meantime the housing sit
uation in Rome, Naples and other
big towns has become no better and
rents are high.
Mussolini declared to the Podesta,
"the eighth year of the fascist die
tatorship will see the end of govern
ment interference in building opera
.tions, etc. Individual initiative will
now be given free scope. I am of
the opinion that nothing extraordi-
