Mussolini Reads New

NEW YORK.-Benito Mussolini in
bombastic speech before the fascist
party directorate in Rome on Dec. II
trotted out point by point, amid con-
siderable applause from the represen-
tatives Of the fat bankers and In
dustrialists, the new fascist program
for Solving the rapidly deeping
economic crisis and relieving" Ita1y's
vast increasing army of unemployed.
Incorporated in this new program
as the main points are such "new'
and startling proposals as charity re-
lief for the unemployed, the under
taking of public works plan, the
calling of innumerable conference to
discuss the general economic situa-
ton and the suppression by force and
violence of every struggle for real
relief.
1.-THE fascists,' says point two Of
the program, have the duty to adopt
a mode Of life attuned to the present
situation" which means a general
lowering OF the already impoverished
living level of the masses. An in
creased attack on the masses of
workers is threatened by the following
statement in the Mussolini program:
Enemies must be eliminated from
circulation.

RR Union Officials to Help BOssesCutPay

The cut Of wages on the railroads,

Through without a strong resistance
sen the part of the railroad workers,

departure to the Soviet Union for
KenmoStu, who was being threatened
for the past three years to be handed
over to fascist Japan by the U. S.

hard battle to prevent the depor-

finally succeeded in arranging for
Kenmotsu to leave on Dec. Is on the

he will proceed to Berlin where a
visa to the Soviet Union awaits him.
He will then proceed to the U.S.S.R.
where political asylum was offered
him by the workers government.
Orozco Released.
Braulioa Orozco, one of the seven
Imperial Valley prisoners, was re-
leased from San Quentin, Dec. 10 and
has alrady been deported to Mexico,

In other departments workers wait for
work, and don't get paid cent for
waiting time.
The busiest department is the mesh
hosiery department. Many of the
girls from glove and underwear de-
partnlent have been put on mesh
hosiery because their own work is
SO slow. That sounds all right, but
that it not all. They get $40 week
for the first couple of weeks and then
put on piece work. You have to
break your neck to come up to $40
on piece work, and many of them
don't even come near it.
Organizing Gruops
Some of the workers are already
organizing groups in their depart
ments. We've got to have all the
workers with us. Kicking alone means
losing your job. We have to organize
with the National Textile Workers
Union for a real fight for better con-

HTNDENBURG SUPPORTS HITLER'S
MOVE FOR OPEN DICTATORSHIP

NEW YORK.--A disclosure Of the
alliance between Hitler and the
alliance between HltIer and the Brue-
ming Hindenburg government wa
contained in q special dispatch from
Berlin published IN tbs New York
American Saturday. The American
capitalist press carried stories giving
the impression that Bruening would
go TO the extent OF martial Law To
stop Filters assumption Of power.
The latest dispatch from Berlin said
that President Won Hidenburg had
assured Hitch that the Bruening
government had no such intention,
and that they looked upon Hitler as a
patriotic" necessary part Of the
German nation.
NEW YORK.-The close support
which the Socialist Party leadership
Of Germany gives to Bruening in put
ting over his latest attack against the
workers Is again shown in special
cable story to the New York Herald
Tribune from its special Berlin cor
respondent, John Elliott. Writing on
Dec. 9, Mr.. Elliott says that because
Of Bruening's speech on Hitler "the
Socialists appear willing to accept the
wage cuts imposed on the masses.
Therefore the impression prevails
that DR.. Bruening will emerge sue
cessfully from the coming trial of
strength next week, as he has
emerged from so many other crises.
Bruening, says the same writer, has
promise of support from the Social
lists that they will vote against the
calling Of the Reichstag into session.
The Socialists who yelp about pre-
serving capitalist democracy" are
the very first to aid Bruening
strengthen his fascist regime by vot-
ing against the calling of the Reich
stag because they fear that Bruening
will be overthrow through the
pressure of the masses.
How closely Bruening works with
the fascists is shown in a thousand
ways. Two of the most outstanding
are the following:
Bruening appointed Carl Goerdeler,
member of Alfred Hugenberg's Ma
tionalist (fascist) party to be So
called "price dictator" under the
latest emergency decree, approved by
the Socialists. Bruening's speech
which the socialists interpret as
rebuff to Hitler was nothing of the
kind and is so recognized by the
French. A Herald-Tribune dispatch
from Paris says:

Evidence proving Ross innocence

the lynching spirit has been melted

their legal lynchings in the courts.

The bosses are up in the air, because
they are afraid that we workers are
beginning to realize the need Of or
ganization.
After reading these papers, I de-
cided that it might be of interest to
other workers to hear something of
what is going on In the Kayser Hos
iery Co. Some time ago Kayser's was
considered a good place to work in.
Now it is regular hole. In the last
two years. our wages have been cut
in half. We get cuts regularly, two
to three times year. A worker max
ing $50 to $35 two years ago now
considers SIS a. good wage. Those
making $75-$8o, like the knitters, are
lucky to get s35 today. In nearly

Of this secret report, as published IN

THE memorandum paints the
German situation as most gloomy.
II asserts government by emer-
gency DEGREES is not feasible and
that popular unrest definitely ex-
lists.
"Retaiiatory tariffs are analysed
as ineffective, and the report de-
clares imports are already cut TO
the starvation point and that raw

turers Of exports no longer guar

THE memorandum declares pol
iticaI tendencies are dangerously
radical, and that Adolf Hitler's
anticipated assumption Of power
under the Fascist banner Will be
followed by the creation of a pow
erful Leftist opposition.
1.-THE social democrats, the bank
ers say, will ally with the Com
munists, and it will be difficult for
Hitler to restrain the combination
by even the most drastic measures"
What Virgins means is not that
the Communist and Socialist Parties
will unite. but that the process which
is now going on, Of the great mass of
rank and file workers in the Socialist
Party more and more supporting the
Communist Party, the only revolu-
tionary working class force fighting
will continue and prove too
much for Hitler, the hope of Wall
