Suspect Mussolini
Police Staged New
Plot on Premier

ROME. June 6. - What appears
to be a "well-ordered plot" is seen
in the reported attempt at assassi-
nation of the fascist premier, Musso-
hni
A young italian, Angelo Sbardellot-
to, said by the police to have been
armed with a pistol and two bombs
was arrested outside Mussolini's Of
flee.
Sbardellotto said he belonged to
an organization called Justice and
Liberty. Just what this organiza-
ton really stands for is not entirely
clear, but the ease with which the
attempted assassin" was arrested
creates a strong suspicion that the
whole thing was staged. Similar in
cidents revealed that anti-fascists
practising individual terror had
been utilized in this manner by Mus
solini's police.
Meanwhile the fascist controlled
press is utilizing the incident for a
frenzy of eulogies of Mussolini, and
attempting to cover up the increas-
ing misery of the workers and peas
ants.
= The Communist Party has led a
number of strikes during the past
months despite the fascist terror
and advocates mass action as against
individual acts of terrorism.

Owen d. Young Favors
More Powers for the
President of the u. S.

Clearly indicating the trend to-
ward an open fascist government,
Owen D. Young urged more cen
tralized body to cope with the econ
omic crisis.
Speaking to the graduating stu
dents of Notre Dame University the
/ chairman of the General Electric
Company stated that in the face OF
the severe depression" it is neces-
sary to give extraordinary powers to
the President.
Our democratic government-he
said-has since the beginning in
sisted on delegated powers.
1t is quite explainable, therefore, that
a government distributed into care
fully segregated and insulated COM
,partments should function under nor
Z NAL conditions and should fail when
the avalanche comes on
When it is considered that the gov
eminent of the United States is
steadily marching toward a more
centralized power, it is clear what
Owen D. Young suggests-an open
fascist government.

insky, organizer of the Young Com
munist League and leader of the
rank and file miners in Southern
Illinois, was released after being held
three days in Jail and beaten UP by
deputies and state patrolman in an
effort to make him tell where the
Communist Party and Y.C.L. leaflets
are being printed
The sheriffs plans we're to turn
Zip over to the United Mine Work
ers of America gangsters, as he
wasn't booked or charged with any
thing, but was put in solitary con-
finement, expecting to turn him over
in the evening. The plans were
somewhat spoiled as a lawyer came
while in solitary confinement.
Before being released he was made
TO understand that they we're moi
going to arrest any more. but will
turn over all Red organizers to the
U.M.WA gangsters. The sheriff
stated that before the Reds get con-
troll of Franklin County they viii
have to fight not only him, but the
federal government and the state
militia, and that the National Guaro
is already modified in Carbonate
ready to act, and that federal agents
are investigating the Red movement
here now.
While Kochinsky was in jail, Ray
Ednundson, president of the United
Mine Workers Sub-District No. ano
leader Of fake Rank and File

gangster tactics, to prevent a vote

Also in our delegation we had some
few 100 percenters who tried to stir
up trouble by saying that the Com
nitee was all Communist and who
tried to keep other vets from being
allowed to travel with us. The rank
and file made these hot air artists
shut up however and the Committees
continued to function.
At Strawsburg. Pa, the American
Legion tried to make friends with us
by feeding us bread and black coffee,
and letting us sleep in box cars, but
we didn't listen to their line and came
right along. We have lot of rank

fit but they feel they same way about
the Legion leaders that we who be-
long to the W.E.SL. do.
The B 81 o was the last train we
rode and they cut the engine off the
train about ten miles out of BaIti-
more and a gang C State troopers
met us there. We started march
ing into tc"n but the City met US
with trucks and hauled us into town
and we slept in the recreation pier,
the same place where the hunger
marchers slept.
Demanded Transportation.
Our committee told the cops who
were doing the talking for the city,
that we weren't going to walk and
that we wanted transportation and
we forced the city TO furnish us
trucks to the District of Columbia
line.
We are all going to get on the
job and keep the rank and file
running things. To hell with the
