today as girls from this city be-
gan to picket the Berkliffe Under

Several girls left Waterbury yester-
day afternoon to strengthen pick
cts of the international Ladies

to enter the plant or allow others
to do so. until a settlement salts

union has been reached.
May Have Influence
! It is expected that the attitude
taken in having girls from Water
bury on the picket line in New
York will help to influence the en-
ployes of the Madison Avenue
shop TO rise in protest against the
acceptance of goods from the Wa
tertown company for finishing
while fellow employees are striking
against the wage cuts termed un-
fair and working condition in the
local plant in general. Local lead
ers said today that they plan to do
likewise in other cities in the event
it is found that local garments
have been. delivered to be finished
or materials for any of the requir-
ed operations.
The pickets here continue their
"a hour Z assignments and will
continue to hold a line at all time
until a settlement can be reached.
Many were at the Mill street fac
tory during the heavy rain of last
night. Some were content to re-
main at the gate with umbrellas
while other sought shelter on near
by porches. They were relieved at
s o'clock this morning.

storm troopers, who invaded res-
taurants and halted pedestrians

Rioters were given the approval

Semitic campaign has been known
to be imminent for weeks.

inspired by the months-long anti
Jewish campaign of Julius Strei-

But Berlin has been free of them

partly to the fact that for months
Jews were not seen prominently

MUSSOLINI WILL

Will Be on Scene to Send
His Legions Into

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
7 Rome, July 16.-fUP)-Benito
Mussoiini may go to East Africa to
start his fascist legions against
Abyssinia, it was understood to-
day.
1t was predicted in many quar-
ters that handsome Crown Prince
Humbert, 30-year old heir to the
throne and a general OF division in
the army, also will go to Africa
and assume an active command at
the front.
The kings son would join there
two sons of Mussolini, whom II
Duce has sent to do their part with
his army, the deadliest in point of
modernity ever assembled.

If Mussolini went to East Africa,
Il was understood, it would be in
experimentation the war against
Abyssinia, if there is to be war,
will start at the end of the rainy
season which makes morasses of
low lying regions.
So far it has been merely sug-
gested that II Duce should go to
the front. But the possibility that
the dictator may go to Africa even
for brief inspiring visit, and
that Crown Prince Humbert may
join the expeditionary force were
indications of a war-like spirit that
is sweeping Italy.
