Abraham Lincoln, 10th president OF
the u. S., was born near Hodgens-
vile, KY, Feb. IL, 126 years ago,
descendant of Samuel Lincoln, an
emigrant from Norwich, Eng, to
Mass. about 1888. His father, Thorn
as, was carpenter, and his mother,
Nancy Hanks, was the niece of a
carpenter.
In his youth Abraham Lincoln
worked on a fiat-boat trading to New
Orleans, and the contact he then
made with slave conditions fixed his
intention to rectify them if possible.
When his family removed to near
Decatur, ILL.,, he helped in creating a
prairie farm and building cabin
thereon. Subsequently he kept a gen.
eral store at New Salem, ILL.,, where
he became postmaster and a deputy
surveyor. s
BY the election Of 1884 he VAS sent

ID ia n tss he moved to
springfield where he engaged in the
Ipractice 81 laM, and largely through
his efforts the state capitol was NOV
ed there from Vandaila.
In 1848 he married Mary Todd,
daughter of Robert S. Todd of Louis
vile, KY, who bore him four sons.
He was elected to Congress in 1886,
but did not seek reelection.
In 1864 the great slavery agitation
began with the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise, and Lincoln entered
upon public discussions with an earn
estness and force that secured him
leadership of the opposition in Illi-
nois. He met Stephen A. Douglas,
the author Of the repeal measure, in
public debates which excited the clos
est attention in every part Of the
Union.
He was elected 70 the presidency

Thomas BOYD.
Novelist, C. p.
Candidate,Dies

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. %
Thomas Boyd, widely-known novel;
ist, world war veteran who held the
Croix de Guerre as the result of
service in st. Mihiel, Scissor and
Belleau Wood, and Communist can
didate for Governor of Vermont in
the last state election, died on Sun
day afternoon of cerebral
haemorrhage in the home of a
friend. He was thirty-six years old.
Boyd, whose health was shattered
during the war, who wrote the war
novel, Through the Wheat" which
was universally acclaimed by critics
and readers as an important con-
tribution to the literature of the
World War, joined the Communist
Party after long years of critical
observation of the society in which
he lived. His observation and ex-
perience brought him, during the
current economic crisis, to the con-
viction that only the Communist
program offered the key for the re-
organization of society.
Boyd wrote several biographies
Of American historical figures and
was planning at the time of his
death, to write history of Amer
lean revolt.
Michael Gold, discussing Boyd's
literary work and his activity in
the Communist Party, in Change
the World" on Dec. 3, said:
Boyd is first rate talent, crea-
tive, vital and productive. Such
writing as Boyd's is an integral part
Of the revolutionary movement"

place west Of the city Of Donau,
where a state of civil war reigned
and where the advance troops of
the revolutionary armies met the
counter revolution
Those who were at that time ex-
ecuted as spies of the counter
revolutionary forces have now be-
come the basis of the Indictment"
against Rakosi, although the court
today admitted that the ones de
gally' responsible for the execu-
tions had long been sentenced and
punished.
Witness Verifies Testimony
Rakosi made very clear that by
the laws of the Red Army itself none
but the Armys leadership was en-
trusted with the right of execution.
Throughout the period of the Hun
garian Soviets his chief office had
been Commissar for Trade. In the
brief interval in which he acted as
political commissar for an army
division he had been besieged with
his troops out of all touch with the
general staff. The witness Herczeg
completely verified this testimony.
Rakosi suddenly asked Herczeg
what part the Italian army mission
had played in the counter-r -revolu-
tlon. The witness was about to
answer when the presiding judge
ordered him to shut up.
Weren't the Red soldiers bribed
with Russian gold?" the Judge
inquired.
1--WE needed no hired mercen-
aries" Rakosi answered meaning
fully.
The judges color rose. Gold
would never have made our soldiers
so heroic" the defendant added
Even the prisoners we took freely
contributed to the fighting fund of
the Socialist and Communist
Parties"

of the Grand Lodge until he became
a Supreme Court Judge, and still
active in it. Mr.. Pope also has had
considerable to do with forcing the
Grand Lodge with it's 100000 mem
bers to publicly repent its previous
anti-Fascist stand.
Judge Eugenio Alessandro, a
Philadelphia Judge, regularly, for
four or five years, has been going
to Rome annually to report to Mus
solini on the progress of Fascist
propaganda and activities among
the 100000 italian Americans. He
goes with Giovanni di Silvestro
head Of the Sons of Italy.
Tresca Not Called
The McCormack-D k-D1ckestein Com
mittee never bothered to call Tresca
though he has been in the news
Of the capitalist press repeatedly IN
connection with -Mussolini ac-
tiyities, and through his imprison-
ment by American authorities for
distributing birth-control informa =
ton illegally" was fought with much
publicity by the Civil Liberties
Union, which contended it was a
frame-up backed by Mussolini.
From other sources the Daily
Worker has information that Fascist
propaganda is being carried on in
language classes subsidized by the
Italian government through the
agency of the local New York con-
sulate, the Casa Italiana, or both,
at the Lower West Side Center OF
the Children's Aid Society.
The Children's Aid Society is a
public social service agency partly
subsidized by the City of New York.
The Daily Worker has direct in
formation that the language class
conducted in its Center at 219 Sui
Ivan Street is subsidized in full by
the Italian government.
Distribute Fascist Hymn
Mrs. belinda NIennillo, director Of
the Center, had printed, at the ex-
pense of the Center, several thou
sand copies of the Fascist hymn,
"Giovinezza. These were distri-
buted to adult workers in the
neighborhood who participate in &C
tivities at the center. The head Of
the Agmar Press, 55 King Street,
has confirmed that the order was
printed there at the expense of the
Children's Aid Society.
The Daily Worker is informed
that workers in these classes have
protested against the singing of the
Fascist song in the singing class
connected with the language course,
and that these protest met insulting
rebuffs. One, James Brotto, 154

recently by President Tighe rep
resent nothing more than an at
tempt to force the old guard resc-
tionary policies of the unions pres
ent officialdom down the throats of
the members.
"Tighe's so-called 'outlswing' of
the conference is such move, in
which he tries to establish that the
international executive board, and
not the rank and file, the member
ship-are the union.
There is nothing Illegal about
the conference. 1t is called on
the decision of an earlier joint dis
trict meeting held in the West End,
Pittsburgh, on Dec. 80, which was
attended by 1870 elected delegates
from the sub-lodges of five dis
trictS. Every member of the inter
national executive board was pres
ent at the time except Tighe, and
they said no word against the con-
ference. The same resolution pro-
vided for inviting representatives of
the local unions of the United Mine
Workers and the Aluminium Work
ers Union.
THE rank and file, the member
ship, is in revolt against Tighe's do
nothing policies and against the de-
lays of the Steel Labor Board,
which allow the companies time to
build their dummy unions. But
our purpose is not to build diff
ferent union, as Tighe charges, but
to make of the A. A. a democratic
union representing the interests OF
it's members.
Our demands were drawn up at
the seth convention last year: 81 an
hour minimum wage; the 1ix-hour
day, five-day week; abolition of the
company unions; recognition of our
union; equal rights for Negro work
ers: enactment of the Workers Un-
employment and Social Insurance
Act Oh. r. Bill 282D by Congress
Because we are determined tc
fight for these demands if necessary
Tighe tries to raise the outworr
red scare -howling Communists
and Reds at the militants. He does
this only to split our ranks. 1t Ii
the same maneuver to which the
companies resort when they desire tt
split us.

are going to fight for them just the
same, and no splitting mSneuver'
will turn us from our course.

On Side of Big Business
Herbert Banjamin, Executive Sec
retary of the National Action Com
mittee for Genuine Social Insur-
ance, now in the Capitol waiting
to appear before the Senate Fin
ance Committee and the House
Ways and Means Committee to urge
a favorable report on the Workers
Bill (H. r. 282O, attacked Green's
statement as IAN effort to support
the attempt of big business to block
enactment of genuine unemploy-
ment and social insurance"
Benjamin declared: "This is to
be seen from the fact that Green
merely offers a few mild amend
ments to a measure which is fun
damentally opposed to the principle
of real unemployment and social
insurance. The position of the
workers on unemployment and so
cial insurance will be presented not
by Mr.. Green, but by their OWN
Representatives when they appear
this week.
II call upon workers everywhere
to renew and intensity their oppo-
sition to the Wagner-Lewis Bill and
to repudiate the position of Green
by sending more kilograms and
resolutions to the members of the
House Labor Committee, the House
Ways and Means Committee and
the Senate Finance Committee.
Green's Proposals
Green advised federal law which
would make it necessary for the
States to adopt minimum" stand
ards to be eligible for government
financial assistance in the admin
istration of State unemployment
insurance" laws.
Green recommended"
l. Minimum payments up to at
least SIS week" This is in sub
stantial agreement with the Wag-
ner-Lewis maximum" of SIS a
week in view of the experience of
workers, under the N. R. A. in find
ing out that the so-called minimum
is in reality the maximum.
2. Instead of the Wagner bill
proposal for a 8 per cent tax on
payrolls a 5 per cent tax, under
which, he said, "the benefit period
could be extended to not less than
26 weeks in any one year" The
Wagner bill proposes a 15-week
benefit period. Neither suggests
satisfactorily what the worker is tc
live on the rest of the year.
3. "a waiting period not to ex.
ceed one week." instead of the four
weeks period provided for in the
Wagner bill.
The daily worker., 1935-01-29

4. No employee contributions,
which the Wagner bill allows the
States to collect.
Old Age Scheme
Green's recommendations for "old
age assistance" outlined:
l. Total monthly pensions" of
mot less than $50 month :"
instead of the possible $50 a month
proposed by the Roosevelt admin
payrollS, 5 per cent tax, under
give the aged the same as the un-
employed--a minimum of $40
week, plus So for each dependent.
2. The reduction of the age limit
to so. Under the Wagner-Lewis bill
the age limit is 10, and 65 after
Jan. l, 1910.
In speaking on the Wagner-Lewis
BILL Green admitted that the bill
will become operative in two years
time" that the proposed social in
surance board includes no labor
representative, that the bill places
the primary responsibility on the
States, and that the bill fails, in
fact, to establish any standards
whatever for State laws He added:
1T does not prohibit compulsory
employee contributions: it does not
fix the length of the waiting period;
1t does not establish the amount of
benefits to be paid nor the time
during which the payment of bene-
fits shall continue. .
Cooperating with the Roosevelt
administration in not opposing its
determination to prevent the enact
ment of real unemployment insur-
ance, Green offered the subsidy
plan as "the most satisfactory basis
for a permanent, national unem-
ployment insurance program" de-
spite his earlier admission, in his
statement, that "our employment
problem is not a state problem"

Corriere D'America, is maintained
by the Fascist Government through
a well-known Fascist, Vinzo Comiti,
formerly an organizer for the de-
funCt Fascist League of North
America, now one OF Pope's private
secretaries. He is there to watch
the activities of the newspaper, just
as government agents do through
out Italy.
For this, Pope receives the Off
cial Italian Fascist news agency
kilograms free of charge, and, more
important, the support OF the Cath
olic Church, which promotes the
Pope papers, and the advertising Of
the American Steamship companies,
Italian-American banks, and num-
erous American importers Of Italian
goods.
MussOFini Censorship
"Of course, Mussolini exerts a
censorship here, forcing papers to
sponsor fascist theology as well as
the Rome Government.
Then Tresca made a statement
which explains the document re-
produced here. He said:
italian COnsuls, upon hearing
that an Italian-American has
manifested any anti-Fascist SEN
timent, send these citizens form
letters saying that they are in
vited' to come to our office. This
is calculated to frighten the anti
Fascist. When he arrives at the
Consulate, the Consul questions
him about his political opinions,
asking why he has gone to an
anti-Fascist meeting and inform
ing him he had better stop so
that your family in Italy may live
in peace"
Officials Get Tasks
Mr., Tresca told me that in July,
1880, Mussolini called to Rome Ed
ward Corsi, now LaGuardia
Fusion official; AlInarendo Porta-
foglio, rich Italian clothing manu-
facturer and former president of
the Gianniti Bank of Sicily, and
Judge Salvatore Cotillo of the New
York State Supreme Court.
These three were given specific
tasks to carry out for Mussolini in
the United States on behalf of Fas-
cism," continued Tresca. They
must liquidate a controversy be-
tween Fascists and -Fascists in
the italian Hospital They
must bring the Grand Lodge
New York; of the Sons of Italy
back into the fold of the National,
Fascist leadership"
The Grand Lodge of New York
State withdrew from the Sons of
Italy at a convention several years
ago, declaring itself autonomous
and opposed to the Fascist national
leadership.
But the Grand Lodge has been
brought back into the fold" Tresca
declared, "and this, largely through
the efforts of certain prominent
Italian-American politicians, espe-
cially Judge Cotillo, Grand Master
