ER|TREAN TROOPS
DRIVE TO MAKALE
Two Ethiopian Towns Are
Reported Taken by Ma
tive Forces.
BY the Associated Press.

oy tAlc hooOSAdlC0 EICoS.
ROME, October 26.-Italy thrust her
military forces farther into Northern
Ethiopia today. Italian correspondents
with the invaders reported tonight. as
native Eritrean troops captured two
towns m determined drive south
ward toward Makale.
The dispatches received here said
the Italian-trained natives occupied
Debra Sion and Tecla -Aimanot mot
shown on maps. The first Eritrean
advance column began its drive from
Edaga Hamus, about so miles north
of Makale, and filtered into enemy
territory along mule trails leading to
MakaAe.
(Edaga Hamus is village Is miles
southeast of Adigrat, one of the first
Ethiopian towns occupied by the Ital-
ian Northern ArmyD
Other indigenous troops filed into
the enemy territory along mule trails
converging on Makale.
Reported Hailed as "Liberators."
The troops were reportedly received
as "liberators" by the Ethiopians, and
the correspondents said mot a shot"
was fired during the advance.
The dispatches did not confirm re-
ports circulating here that the COM
bined Italian forces in northern
Ethiopia were participating in the
march on Makale.
Makale, only 60 miles southeast of
Aduwa, is the next goal of Italys
northern army. An almost impossible
region of high mountains and ravines,
however, has slowed up the Italian
operations.
The Eritrean troops under Italian
officers advanced to occupy the Faras
Mai River region.
Italian flyers, modern day scouts,
discovered no massed enemy in recon-
naissance flights over the Aussa re-
gion. A government communique said.
meanwhile, there is nothing to re-
port" on the southern or Somaliland
front.
Drive on MogalO.
Forces under Gen. Rudolfo Graziani
in the south are driving forward to
Mogalo, halfway to Adds Ababa, and
to SaSa Baneh, halfway to Harar.
Harar has been designated as the
point of the northern and
southern armies.
Success in this objective would link
Italy's colonies of Eritrea and Som
aliland.
The communique said "chiefs and
residents" in the region of
the FaraS Mai River have Submitted
and affirm that the population awaits
our occupation with anxiety"

night to bolster her own navy.
A government decree authorized

an extra appropriation for new
construction and Transformation of

Another decree set up high naval
command" in Italy's Dodecanese
Islands in the Aegean Sea.
The money will be spent as follows:

Already the naval budget for this
year was an enormous one. totalling

Well-informed sources interpreted
the decree to indicate that work on

she is authorized to build under the

Libya he supposed Britain would re-
ply by withdrawing some warships.
London had regarded the Libyan con-
centration as threat to Egypt.
Golden Opportunity Muffed.
Thus pessimism replaced the opti-
mism here of two days ago with the
Italian claim that Britain had muffed
golden opportunity to bolster
European peace.
An official source said what is
needed is some practical manifesto

They tell us they are not un-
friendly" he asserted. They tell us
they recognize our needs for expansion.
They tell US they have no interest in
Ethiopia. But what practical steps
have they taken to assure us their
protestations are sincere?"
At the same time Italy was cheered
by belief that there will be a delay
in the enforcement of sanctions
against her and that some British
opinion is veering away from rigid
sanctions.

additional transients simply can
not find employment in Florida. If

TEXTILE STRIKE
TOTAL
At Record Since General
Walkout Last Year

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Strikes
in the textile industry have been ris-
ing in number during recent weeks
and recently reached total of 20,
the largest number since the general
strike of September, 1884. The strik-
ers are mainly small and the num-
bers involved are not very large, said
Francis J. German, first vice presi-
dent of the United Textile Workers
Of America Nine strikes in the cot
ton industry, four in woolen and
worsted, eight in silk mills, seven in
hosiery and knitting mills, and one in
jute, made up the total
Seven of the list We're in Southern
States, including one hosiery plant
and one silk mill. The remainder
were ineastern and New England
areas.
President Thomas Mcmahon, of the
u T. w A., stated that there is
shortly to be drive on in the silk
industry, against the tendency among
these mills to discriminate against
union members, and to extend working
hours while cutting wage rates. The
campaign has begun already, he said,
at Burlington, n. c., and will shortly
be carried into New England under
the direction of Vice President Riviere,
| while in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
| it will be under the immediate super
vision of President Mcmahon himself.
The largest strike is at Mooresville,
IN G., where 19 union members were
arrested, and the u. 7. w. A. sound
truck operator jailed on three charges
in an effort to tie up the very effective
work Of the sound truck itself One of
the charges was that of operating a
sound truck without an amusement
license. The local authorities are di-
vided the city council favoring the
union, while the sheriff, mayor and
chief Of police are helping the mill
management III every way possible.
The matter has been taken up with
Governor Ehringhouse, with the def
mite anticipation that the state Off
Gals will be told to lay off of the
textile union members, who contribut-
ed about 10000 votes at the last
| election

FOOD SALES
Indicate Lowering of Canad-
ian Living Standards

Ottawa (ILNS) That living stand
ards in Canada are still shrinking
seems to be indicated by the govern
ment indexes of the sales of restau-
rants. Value sales for the first seven
months Of this year were Z per cent
below the like period last year; and
there was little or no change in prices
if anything it was upward
Home-cooling evidently did not
take up the slack. Indexes of the sales
Of groceries and meat shops during
the first seven months Of this yeal
indicate a Slight decline in the guam
tity of foodstuffs sold, as compared
with the like period last year.
Restaurant value sales for July last
We're 65 per cent below July, 1929
while the decline in retail food prices
averaged 35 per cent. And since
July, 1929, the population of Canada
has increased by 100000.
The decline in the value sales Of
meat shops and groceries from July
1929, to July last was 35 per cent
just equal to the decline in the re.
tail price of foodstuffs. But again the
100000 increase in population has t
be considered.

PRINTING TRADES
Unions Form Ohio State
Council

Columbus, Ohio (ILNSl-A large
of members of the five in
ternational printing trades unions
met here and formed the Ohio State
Allied Printing Trades Council, rep
resenting approximately 25,000 organ
lied members of the printing crafts.
D. Oakley Davies, of Columbus, past
president of the Columbus Typograph
ical Union No. 5, and president of the
Columbus Allied Printing Trades
Council, was elected president, and
Don Courtney, secretary of the local
allied council and legislative agent
of the printing crafts, was named
secretary-treasurer. The new organi
zation was sponsored by the Columbus
Allied Printing Trades Council
The executive board, representative
of the five international unions We're:
Curtis L. Hill, Dayton, Photo-En
gravers; Charles L. Mamelnne, Akron,
Stereotypers and Electrotypers
Union, and secretary of the Akron
Allied Printing Trades Council;
George w Larimore, Dayton, Print
ing Pressmen and Assistants Union;
Miss Ann Woodland, Columbus, In
ternational Brotherhood of Bookbind
ers, and Roy L. Miller, Dayton, In
ternational Typographical Union.
The purpose of the organization is
to improve and strengthen unions in
all branches of the trades, to form
unions in towns where none exist, to
demand the allied label on all state
printing, to protect the printing trade
in the state legislature and to embark
upon a campaign of education.
Resolutions condemning the Sher-
rill report as it pertains to state
printing; announcement Of the veto
of Gov. Martin l.. Davey in abolish
ing the state bindery and advocating
the office of public printer were in
troduced and passed unanimously.
Facts and figures were produced TO
show that printing done in the peni-
tentiary would cost more through the
purchase of machinery, depreciation,
spoilage, breakage and incompetence
than the state now pays for printing.
The state bindery veto was assailed
because of the number Of people it
would throw out of work, many Of
them deaf mutes who would become
wards Of the state, and because the
work can be done more economically in
centrally located plant.

REFUSES
To Make Apology For At
tack on Mussolini

Toronto (ILNS)-Mayor James
Simpson who, when speaking to a res
olution of the Trades and Labor Con-
gress Of Canada invoking League of
Nations sanctions against Italian ag
gression in ETHIOPIA, referred to Mus
soluini as mad dog, has replied to a
protest of Chevalier G. Limeri, Italian
vice-consul in Canada, that he saw no
reason to make an apology.
He was, he said, kindly disposed to
the Italian people and especially to
the fine types of Italians he had met
in Canada; but he had mo sympathy
with the policy of Fascism which is
now evidencing itself in threat to
the peace of the world"
Mayor Simpson, speaking as a
union printer delegate at the recent
Trades and Labor Congress in Hall
fax, said:
"This man (Il Duce) cannot be ex-
pected to live in harmony with other
people and is menace to the people
of the world. If he is determined to
act as a mad dog, he must be dealt
with as mad dog"

Pay For Cotton Picking
Rises Following Strike

New Orleans (ILNs)-Though it
is reported that fewer than 1000 cot
ton pickers have joined strike to
win wage Of 81 for picking 100
pounds Of cotton in the Memphis and
Arkansas area, a tendency toward
material increase in pay to cotton
pickers is already evident. Reports
from scattered counties in Arkansas
say that prices have been raised from
so to rs cents per 100 pounds. Okla
homa growers are said to have raised
the wage generally to 81 prior to the
strike.

WPA Cuts Week
To Forty Hours

Washington, D. c. ILNS)-H Harry
L. Hopkins, head Of the works prog
ress administration, has signed an
order permitting state administra-
tors to reduce hours at their riscre-
ton. The maximum hours are 40 per
week.
Since cutting hours with no change
in weekly payments means higher
wages per hour, it is probable that
building trades wages per hour on
PWA will not be far from the prevail
ing union scale, for which labor has
been contending.
Hopkins declared in a statement to
the press that he believed this change
would eliminate all trouble and con-
fict." He also said that $4,000 per-
sons are now employed on work relief
projects, something over one-third Of
them by the WPA.

Fort Wayne, Ind. (ILNS)--In out
right violation of a signed agreement
with its employees, the Wayne Knit
ting Mills is fighting to prevent the
National Labor Relations Board from
holding an election in the plant here.
After stalling for weeks, and after
inventing a puppet union which inter
vened to further delay matters, the
firm finally refused to furnish its pay
roll to the Labor Relations Board in
order to force the matter into the
courts, thus delaying the election in
definitely.
The striking employees at the Wayne
Mills returned to work on July 26
when the firm signed an agreement
that it would cooperate with the labor
board in holding an election for rep
resentatives after the board had laid
down rules and regulations for the
conduct Of such an election.
When the National Labor Board did
frame its rules, Regional Director K.
Cowdrill was sent to Fort Wayne to
arrange to take the polls at the con-
yenience of the union and the em-
ployer. An agreement was reached
that the election would be held on
September 20. The rules for the con-
duct Of the election were agreed to
by the firm as outlined by Director
Cowdrill. A few days later CoWdrlll
was called at his office in Indianapolis
and was informed that an Association
Of Employees for Representation OF
Employees Only had been formed IN
the plant and would demand place
on the ballot. The firm had previously
told Cowdrin that there no longer was
company union in the mill.
President Emil Rieve, of the Amer
lean Federation Of Hosiery Workers
then came into the picture. Rieve with
Representative Truman met with the
company union committee and the la
Dor board officials to work out an
agreement whereby the election coulo
be held with the company union on the
ballot.
One point at issue had been the
right of non-productive employees tc
vote in the election. The union repre-
sentatives insisted that only those
workers eligible for membership II
the American Federation of Hosiery
Workers were entitled to vote on
ballot which involved the American
Federation of Hosiery Workers.
An agreement was reached even or
this point, and the company union rep
resentative signed memorandum de.
failing the understandings. 1t was ther
that the company was forced into
corner and was obliged to show its
opposition openly. Brazenly going
