BEDINI INCIDENT
 BLOT ON HISTORY
U. s. Diplomatic Events Blurred By 1864 Hap-
 pening Says Prof

Washington, D. O., Jan g. There is no doubt that the Bedini incident is blot on the diplomatic history of the United States" writes Dr Peter Guilday, Professor of Church History at The Catholic University of American, Washing ton, D. C., in an article on Gaetano Bedini published recently in His torical Records and Studies, pub lfshed by the United States Cath ollie Historical Society. 'f Gaetano Bedini, who died as Cardinal-Bishop of Viterbo Tos- canella in 1864, was instructed to visit the United States for the pur- pose of Investigating several dis turbing domestic church problems which had been made known to the Holy See. He was likewise commissioned to present a letter from the Pope to President Pierce as an act of courtesy to the United States Government which at that time had an official minister at the Vatican.
 Distinguished visitors were nearer in the fif'ies than in our day; and when one came as the of- ficial envoy of a sovereign. the atoOTneSS or the American GoVerH- ment and its evident unwillingness to protect the Unico from popular outrage and attempted violence, 1t did not pass unnoticed even in the nom Catholic press. AS the distin- guished Catholic University profess sor puts 1t, "Bedini's visit can never he eliminated from the his- tory of American anti-Catholicism
 Not ali> Catholic leaders and editors at tho time accepted with out questioning tho consensus of opinion us to the 'Bedini Out
 rages", namely, that they were ca used almost wholly by foreigners
 who seemed determined, as one editor put it. "to turn the Republic into n battle-ground for European fouds and struggles" This explana- ton satisfied many.

A Sinister Nazi Trick

THE mark OF deliberate trickery is written all over
the report issued from Berlin that our Comrade
Torgler, leader of the German Communist Party had
suddenly suffered conversion" to Nazisrn.
This contemplate lie not only met with indignant
denial by those closest to Torgler but the report was
ridiculous that the Nazi lawyer, Sack who in ode
Tending" Torger, heaped praise upon Hitler and the
Nazis also had to issue denial of the Nazi press
release.
But crude SANDER, 50 obviously piece of
poisonous propaganda issuing directly from the Fascist
publicity machine, is perfectly acceptable to the $50
ciaist editors of the Jewish Daily Forward who with
conceaed goating rushed into print with the false
NaSi report
The fake news of TOrgler's Conversion is not
journalistic mistake" 1t is deliberate and sinister
1t is grim evidence that the Nazi beast has not by
any recOnciled itself to reinquishing it's prey
the heroicS Dimitroh, Torgler and their comrades.
The spreading of lies about Torglers Conversion" to
Fascsm is deliberate attempt to demoralize, and
confuse the world fight of the workers to free him. 1t
is attempt to faint with doubt the present mighty
loyalty and devotion which the masses of the world
feel for the four Comrades who were marked by the
Fascist rulers for the execution block.
And despite the openess, the crudity Of the
scheme. it is signal to to the Of the world
who forced the Nazfs to halt in their plans to murder
Comrades, that hated enemies are ytill
scheming to carry out their original murder plans.
in the world campaign for the safe release of Dimtro
Torgler Popof and Tanef!
Comrades this is playing into the hands of the
Fascist enemy! This lui is exactly what they are
counting for the further execution of their plans to
destroy our Comrades by sudden, swift blow
Not for a single moment can We relax our vigilance
The unceasing campaign for the freedom of Dimitro
Torgler, Popof and Taneff must go on must grow in
influence and power!
The latest reports" from Berlin are grave warn
ing to us as to what will happen if slacken in
guard imprisoned Comrades!
The everyday practical work in the Anti Fascist
campaign must be extended More committees for the
freedom of Dinitro Torgler Popof and Tanef should
be organized in the shops factories the trade unions
A. F. of L. locals Socialist Party branches neighbor-
hoods, etc.
Real efforts to forge United Front Committees which
will Immediately take up tasks of organizing protest
meetings, sending kilograms and resolutions to the
German Ambassador at Washington should be made
1t is the broadest United Front with our working class
comrades of all creeds and politics that can be the
powerful weapon to force the Fascsts to grant safe
release to our heroic Comrades
Let us not FORGET, fer one moment they are still in
the hands of the Nazi torturers and murderers.

Tampa AFL Leaders
Agree To No Strikes
For Three Years
IN HARRY CANNES


GAMUEL GOMPERS, predecessor of
y William Green, died wheeling;
Long live our American institutions,
thereby endorsing in advance the
MIRA.
With such figure to live up, to,
we can well understand why the Of
ficials of Cigarmakers International
Union Of America in Tampa, Florida,
pledged themselves in advance to
break all strikes in their union for
three years under the MIRA. Com
.pers rose, we recall on the backs of
the cigarn1akers.
While it is true the N.R.A. is sup
posed to be law for only two, the
Cigarmakers international Union of
America officials give their solemn
pledge they will Guido the N.R.A. by
one year.
There have been many strike
breaking agreements made under the
MIRA. (for example the coal code)
but none ever reached the level of
the agreement made in Tampa,
Florida by A. F. of L. officials.
In the coal code, where the workers
are forbidden in dozen different
ways from striking, there is, at least,
a pretense made at offering higher
wage scale. The formalities of bour-
geois ethics in contract making is
lived up to. Is is true the coal opera
tors get their pound of flesh, but the
miners are offered at least the formal
"one dollar in hand paid for good
and valuable consideration"
Not even this formality is lived fup
to in the Tampa cigarmakers agree
ment engineered by Mr.. Thomas
Finn of the MIRA.
Approve Wage Cut Beforehand
Wores still. Beforehand, the A. F.
of L. leaders in the cigarmakers union
guarantee the bosses that whatever
wage scale may be fixed by the MIA.

Hamburg Dockyards
Idle AS Crisis
Deepens

BERLIN, Jan. l. = An organized
Nazi jubilation for the New Year cele-
bratlons failed completely to mate
rialize last night, with the crowds in
the streets considerably smaller than
in former years and lacking any SEM
blance whatever of gaiety.
Traffic up and down the Friedrich
strasse. the favorite playground of
outdoor jewellers in past years, scarce
" exceeded the volume of the daily
rush for suburban trains. The crowds
were likewise small at TIE popular
priced theatres Only few scattered
shouts of Hell Hitler" were heard as
the midnight hour struck, and these
from members Of Hitler's Brown Shirt
army.
The Nazi regime faces the new
year with rapid deepening of the
crisis, growing disillusionment among
the petty bourgeois masses and peas
antry, its chief mass base in the past,
and rising struggles of the working
class under the leadership of the I'M
conQuerabie German Communist
Party. The economic situation in
Hamburg, for instance, is described as
follows by the Frankfurter zeitung of
Dec. 10.
Anyone making round of the
docks observes their gaping emptiness.
The extensive dock equipment in
tended for business with Russia, and
busily engaged till only recently, is
now scarcely in use =. Tonnage has
greatly increased, but business has
shrunk. Docks once echoing with the
sound of the rivetting hammer now
lie in depressed silence"
In tbs connection, German exports
had declined by 100000 marks by
Dec. Is, or Ills per cent as compared
to the preceding month. At the same
time, imports of raw material for the
metal manufacturing industry greatly
increased, rejecting the vast war
preparations Of Nazi Germany.
In connection with the disillusion-
ment Of the masses, and of many Sec
lions of the Brown Shirts, the Nazi
regional leader In Halle, Jordan re-
