Selectman

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Oct. IT,
KieYe Liskofsky, militant Bridge
port selectman, who was expelled
from the Socialist Party recently
for opposing the anti-working class
municipal policies of Socialist
Mayor Jasper McLevy. has filed
an application for membership in
the Communist Party.
Liskofsky has already announced
his candidacy for the State Senate
on the Communist ticket in the 22d
District, in Bridgeport.
Bitter against Liskofsky's consis-
tent defense of the Bridgeport
working class against the policies
of McLeyy and his Democratic COL
leagues. Socialists on Saturday at
tackled Liskofsky for wearing vote
Communist button while swear
ing in new voters at City Hall.
Liskofsky declared he had a per-
feet right to wear the button and
pointed to Socialist official who
was wearing the emblem of his
party. He steadfastly refused to
remove the Communist button.
which bears the hammer and sickle,
and a feverish study of the election
laws by Socialist and Democratic
officials failed to reveal that there
was any law which could compel
Liskofsky to hide his Communist
sympathies.

month ago-late, it is true, but in
no empty terms.

This challenge comes late in the

we are confident that your section,
through energetic and constant &C

And Worcester went to work on

Immediately prepared.

Both these sections are doing
their part IF we do not blaspheme
the N. p. Al in the drive. Though
Boston is only third among the dis

cent OF its quota, its standing is not
the fault OF Worcester and Section

Stop War
"The Rank and File Committee
says to Green that he cannot in
cite us into another war, neither
can he incite us towards fascism,
nor to fall for those big -bellied
politicians who are living on the
sweat and blood of the entire
working population. And we hope
that in this fight we will get the

based on an industrial democracy
that is real :. instead of class COL
liberation.
Harry Bridges
Workers in Chicago, Cleveland,
New York, have asked me to
shake hands with that fellow
Bridges loud cheers and ap-
plausel. This is what the workers
think of Bridges and the rank and
file leaders who come from below,
from small local organizations, who
do not live in expensive houses,
who do not travel in airplanss, but
who come from the workers them
selves, who know organized labor
and will not betray it.
For three years the Rank and
File Committee has fought for I'M
employment insurance, and now VIC
want action and we propose to the
rank and file to call a 24-hou- gen.
eral strike for the establishment of
the Unemployment Insurance Bill.
They have promised unempley-
ment insurance, but no unemploy-
ment insurance has been estab-
lished yet, and people are starving,
Unemployment is growing. Organ
lied labor will join hand-in-hsna
with the millions of unorgani5ed
workers to go out and force the
establishment Of unemployment in
surance."

Workers Bill
Drive Pushed
On West Coast
Seven AFL Locals Back
Initiative Four
in Washington

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 17.-Seven
locals of the American Federation
of Labor have joined in the drive
to put Initiative Four, the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill, be-
fore the State Legislature when it
convenes on Jan. Is.
The seven locals are: Longshore-
men Local 1912, Electrical Workers
Union n, Painters Union 300, Saw
mill Workers Union 1855, Machin-
lists 10, Boilermakers 1o4, and Flour
and Cereal Workers Union. They
have officially endorsed the Work
ers Unemployment Insurance Bill
and have aided in the drive for
State enactment by cash donations.
Under the State initiative laws,
any bill may be brought up before
the State Legislature if accompanied
by $4,000 signatures. The bill then
comes up before the State Legis-
lature for first consideration. 1t
may propose a substitute measure,
but should it not vote the bill favor
ably. the bill then goes on the bal
lot at the next general elections.
There are now enough petitions
circulating outside Seattle to bring
in $4,000 signatures, according to
William Murray, county driv e
chairman. However, $4,000 bona
fide signatures must be obtained
to place the Workers Bill before the
State Legislature.
The Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill under Initiative Four is
the same as the Federal Workers
Bill, initiated by the Communist
Party and included in the Com
munist election platform, with the
inclusion of paragraph stating that
the State bill will be effective until
the Workers Bill is enacted on a
national scale.
The Unemployed Citizens League
(afiliated with the National Unem-
ployment Councils) in its instruc-
tons on obtaining signatures to the
petitions urged that precinct num-
bers and correct addresses be OBJ
tanned, and that the names of
signers living in incorporated towns
be kept on separate sheets from
signers living in county precincts.

Concluding his travel talks for this
season. Burton Holmes yesterday
transported his audience at the Ma
tional Theater, pictorially, verbally
and musically. to THE New Italy OF
Benito Mussolini." Mr.. Holmes art
fully displayed the economic progress
of today's Italy, backgrounded against
the scenic wonder and glory of old
Italy.
After q few glimpses Of life aboard
the ship, the bay of Naples, enhanced
by the many harbor Improvements.
next greeted the eye. followed by some
intriguing views of Neapolitan life.
Then, without the attendant anxiety
one might feel upon actually peering
into slumbering volcano, the audi
ence was given an excellent view OF
the crater Of VeSuvius.
From restored Pompeii q visit was
made to romantic Amalfi and Capri;
thence to Rome, across what were once
the fever-ridden Pontine marshes, but
which have now been reclaimed to
such an extent that farming fiourishes,
and malaria is thing of the past.
AS the lecturer took bis listeners along
tllC llCW VIC hPPid w 4eoAhC' Aio" oh
excellent automobile highway, he
showed the old Via Appia, the road
of the Caesars. This grass-grown,
cobblestoned roadway, which once
knew the tread of Roman legions,
seems to conjure up images of GEN.
turies past.
A large part Of this travelogue was
given over to some very interesting
close-ups of Mussolini and his young
Fascist followers. together with the
public demonstrations which greet his
every appearance. The triumphant
return of Balboa and his armada from
his flight to Chicago was shown in
some detail. likewise some unusual
pictures of the Pope.
There are those who love Italy also
for its glorious and impressive archi-
lecture. and the pictures of st. Peters
Cathedral in Rome, St. Marks in
Venice, as well as the beautiful Milan
Cathedral we're a delight to the eye.
Following brief glance at the Ital-
ianized Austrian Tyrol, and a fleeting
glimpse of Genoa, the liner returned

ance. Second to be presented, the
play did much to brighten up the
audience, making them eager not only
regarding the Eligible Mr.. Bangs" but
to see the plays which were to follow.
Mildred Roberts made a fine partner
for Payne, who portrayed the role Of

arms of his co-player. For this pleas
ing climax Parker Risler and Mildred
