IMPORTANT EVENT


The appearance of this paper is
an important event in the class
struggle because the italian work
ers-who are not able to read Eng
liSh, are compelled to read Italian
American bourgeois papers which
are crammed full Of nationalist
and fascist propaganda. Moreover,
besides outright bourgeois Italian
dailies there is one social fas-
cist daily, "Stampa LIBERIA" which
is the mouthpiece of such traitors
of the working class as Luigi An
tonini, Bellanca, and the whole gang
of A. F. of L. and Amalgamated
trade union bureaucratS with its
demagogy it is even more poisonous
than the outSpoken fascist press.
There are also dozens of weekly and
daily local sheets in the field prey
ing upon the italian workers. Some
Of those papers march under the
cloak Of anarchism; some of them
pretend tn be friends of labor"
using working class phraseology but
all of them have one plupose-to
confuse and split the italian work
ers. Every one of these papers is
openly or in a concealed form an
enemy Of the Soviet Union.
I'VE must win the Italian workers
W for the revolutionary move
ment. This Is an important task
for us, first of all because those
masses are in contact with Italy
where faScisn is most developed.
If neglected by us, they will con-
Stitute recruiting grounds for fas-
ciSm here in the U. S. American
imperialism is conscious of this, and
the depriving of II Lavoratore of
second class mailing privileges is
proof of this.
Secondly, the Communists Party
of Italy has decided to break thru
the fascist Illegally and to fight
the battles of the Italian working
class in the open. No doubt this
will have its repercussions among
the Italian workers here. In such
a situation we cannot leave the
Italian workers in this country
without a revolutionary paper to
guide them. The bulk of the Ital-
ian workers here are unskilled and
were among the first to feel the
brunt Of the crisis. Unemployment
for them is more devastating than
any other foreign born workers.
They are the hardest nit by the
present wholesale deportation of
foreign-born workers.

PARTY MEMBERS INCREASE


Due to these conditions the Ital-
ian workers here are showing an
Unprecedented readiness to organize
and struggle. We have more Ital-
ian workers in the Communist Par
ty now than at any other time in
the history of our Party. These
workers have come to our Party thru
the fight for unemployment insur-
ance and against wage cuts. But,
in order to retain them, to attract
thousands of others and to develop
them politically, we must furnish
them an organ in their own Ian
guage. L'Unita Operaia must be-
come this organ.
THEREFORE,, it becomes the duty
not only of the Italian workers.
but Of every Party functionary to
see to it that this paper is circu-
lated among the italian workers of
every city in the country. Further.

cious worker must help spread this
paper among the Italian workers
wherever he finds them in shops.
trade unions, clubs or any other
places. L'Unita Operaia must reach
thousands of Italian workers. It
must become the agitator and the
organizer OF the broad masses of
Italian workers.

"A NeaV Italian
Revolutionary
Paper, Dec. II
BY TOM DE FAzIo.

I 'UNITA OPERAIA is the name Of
" the Italian revolutionary paper,
the first issue Of which will be off
the press on Dec. 18th. The masses
of italian workers in this country
are very much in need of a revolu-
tionary paper, especially at this
time of capitalist crisis and sharp
ening working class struggle.
Since II LavoratOre was suspend
ed, partly due to the fact that the
post office deprived that militant
organ of second-class mailing priv
ileges, the Italian workers have
been without an organ to mobilize
and direct them in the struggle for
unemployment and social inSur-
ance; for unemployment relief,
against wage-cutS and all other
struggles of the working class.
Therefore, L'Unita Operaia will fill
an important gap.

:RETR|AL FOR
ELLIS CASE

One of the most involved civil
suits in Imperial county will be re-
vived as result of Judge Vaughn
N. Thompson's action yesterday af-
ternoon in granting the motion for
new trial made by attorneys for
Fred Ellis in his insurance action
against the Columbian National
Fire Insurance company, the Great
Lakes Insurance company and the
Eureka Security Fire and Marine
Insurance company.
Ellis was unsuccessful during a
first trial in seeking to recover in
Surance amounting to more than
$4,000 on merchandise stock which
burned in a store fire at Brawley.
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson, sit
ting without jury, awarded judg-
ment to the defendants.
The motion for a new trial was
made on the usual grounds that
the judgment was unjust and not
according to law, and on questions
of law and fact.
In returning his verdict after the
first trial, Judge Thompson held
that Ellis failed to live up to the
terms of insurance policies when
he refused to give the companies
access to his books, which he de-
clared were burned in the fire, but
which evidence indicated are in his
possession still.
The court also found that, on
the night his store burned, Ellis
left important accounts and led
gers on an open counter instead of
locking them in a fireproof safe
which he had.

WILL
SUCCEED HALL
By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Dec. 80. U.P)-Wal-
ter R. Okeson, treasurer of Lehigh
university, probably will be elected
chairman of the football rules COM
mittee of the National Collegiate
Athletic association, one of the most
important posts in American sports,
it was believed today.
Earlier reports had indicated the
vacancy left by the death of E. K.
Hall would be filled by w. S. Lang
ford, New York insurance broker
and secretary of the rules commit
tee. These reports had been based
on Langfords long service as Sec
retary and his close friendship with
Hall.
However, it was understood that
the nominating committee feels that
Okeson, commissioner of football Of
ficials in the east, is closely iden-
titled with the game and still ac-
lively connected with a college.
Moreover, OkesonS succession to
the championship was reported to
be the wish of Hall, expressed to
the association by his widow.
Okeson and Langford are con-
sidered the strong men" of grid
iron officialdom. Each apparently
is endowed with the abilities to hold
down this storm center of the foot
ball world. Langford is expected
to continue as secretary.

TROJANS AND PANTHERS PROVE
SURPRISE TEAMS OF GRID YEAR

nothing more than good team"
Southern California, after win
ming the undisputed national cham
pionship last year, started out ex-
pecting defeat along. its schedule
and presuming that California,
Stanford and Washington might
finish above it in the Pacific coast
conference. .s.-.. ......
This feeling was based on the
knowledge that it had a compara-
lively green team and that it had
lost its entire starting backfield of
Shaver, Pinckert, Mallory and Mu-
sick through graduation and by the
same means had lost Johnny Baker
all-American guard, and Stan Will
hanson, one of the best centers in
Troy's football history.
Southern California was further
hampered in mid-season when Or
vile Mohler, considered the best
quarterback on the coast, was forced
to retire permanently because of an
injury received in the Stanford
game. -
Despite handicaps, the Trojans
developed fast, won game after
game, took in the coast conference
championship and finally beat
Notre Dame to run to 10 the string
of consecutive victories for South
ern California.
Lose Only Three Men
All this was bit of surprise
to Southern California since it had
expected to have only a mediocre
season this year but a fine one next
year. Troy opponents know now
what to look for next season be-
cause only three regulars, Ray Spar
ling, Tay Brown and Ernie Smith
graduate this year and Coach How
ard Jones has fine requirements
for all of them.
Pitts case was very much the
same as that of U. s.. c.
The Panthers faced one of the
toughest schedules ever undertaken
by any gridiron team and they did
it with an inexperienced eleven,
with an entirely new line.
The Panthers hoped for fairly
good season and looked to 1888 to
see their fine but green griddera
do big things.
Instead they took Army, Penn
and Notre Dame, among others
meantime being tied twice.
They lose good men next year
but with adequate requirements
they sight an even more successful
season than this year. Their losses
include Warren Heller, Ted Daley
Joe Tormey and Paul Cuba.
Southern California worked out
here today, Jones sending his boys
through a rough session. Tomorrow
the drill will be lighter and Satur-
day the Trojans will go to Rose
Bowl for a brief session to acquaint
themselves with the. field.
Pitt continued workouts at Tue
son. The Panthers under the pres
ent plans, will make no appear
ance at the bowl until game time.

To Play Sunday

Hailing the new year with a re-
sumption of old hostilities, the Ell
Centre Fat Boys baseball team
will contest the Brawley Colored
Giants at 2 o'clock Monday after
noon on the Brawley field.
Since the Brawley team has lost
but one game and the. Fat Boys
only two this season, the contest
Monday should be one of the most
interesting of the year.
Priest will pitch for the Fat Boys
at Brawley. He has hurled two
shut-outs in his. last two games,
and is primed to repeat Monday,
according to his team mates.

Bronchial Troubles
Need Creomulsion

Bronchial troubles may lead to some
thing serious. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an einulsified creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold ac-
fion; it soothes and heals the inaamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
OF throat troubles. Creomulsion contains.
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in
fammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
