Italian Reds Claim
Florence Is in Grip
OF General Strike
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Jan. 23.-The General
Confederation of Labor said to-
day the city of Florence is tied
up by a general strike, called by
the Communicated Chamber Of
Labor there.
Communist leaders said the strike
Is spreading throughout Florence
province, an area embracing some
1886. 1000 people.
The strike, which followed a clash
between unemployed demonstrators
and police, in which 16 were re-
ported injured, resulted in the cut
ting of telephone and telegraph
communications outside the province
and affected all business establish
ments and stores.
City Reported Calm.
Ansa, Italian news agency, said
the city was calm, that bread and
milk shops were open and train
service functioning.
The labor confederation in Rome
said the only way to communicate
with Florence was through the
Chamber of Labor. The telephone
company refused to accept a call
from outside the chamber building
The confederation said the walk
out was called because police in
Jeeps intercepted a column of DEM
onstrators, threw a bomb and at
tackled "the unemployed with clubs. y
Renato Bitossi, Communist secre-
tary general of the confederation,
left for Florence last night after
comforting with Minister OF the In
terror Maria Scelba.
Other Parties Oppose Strike.
Rome newspapers said Christian
Democrat, Liberal and Labor Social
list parties in Florence published a
manifesto just before the strike,
urging the population not to partici-
pate because it had been ordered
for obviously political purposes"
Meanwhile, the Socialist Party, in
its last national convention before
the April parliamentary election
was to vote today on whether to
continue its year-old alliance with
the Communists in opposition to the
government,
The Communist Party, claiming
some 2.250,000 members. is depend
ing on Socialist support for help
in defeating Premier Alcide de Gas
peris Christian Democrats and their
allies in the election.
"Rump Congress"
Socialist delegates who object to
cooperation with the Communists
held a "rump Congress in a hotel
room yesterday to prepare for to-
days vote. AS they returned to the
convention hall, Pietro Adinolfi,
leader of their meeting, said the
delegates who attended represented
100000 of perhaps 100000 party
members in Italy.
Counting those who did not hear
about this meeting, that's enough
to win," said Adinolfl, head of the
Naples delegation.

|CI0 Splits Politically
las Executive Board
Bans Wallace Support

The Clio split politically toda,
over Henry Wallace's third part,
bid for the presidency. -
The Executive Board of the labor
organization which gave solid sup
port to help elect President Roose-
welt to fourth term in 1914 voted
SO to II to reject Mr.. Wallace's
entry into the ls4S campaign as
politically unwise."
And the dissident group-repre-
senting about 1,250,o00 of the Or
ganization's claimed 100000 mem
bership-gave every indication of
plugging for Mr.. Wallace anyway.
Harry Bridges, president of the
international Longshoremen's Union
and leader Of the so-called left
wing element which opposed the
anti-Wallace resolution, told report
ers the Democrats won't stand the
chance of SNOWFALL In hell" of
electing President Truman IN No
vember.
Firm as Labor Unit.
The Go chiefs did agree on one
thing after their bitter word battle
wound up yesterday in the rejection
of a resolution condemning the
Wallace presidential movement.
This is that all will stick together
as a labor organization regardless
of their political differences. .
However, Mr.. Bridges, along with
Hugh Bryson, president of the Ma
tional Union of Marine Cooks and
Stewards, and Albert Fitzgerald,
president of the big Electrical Work
ers' Union, promptly announced
their unions won't be bound by the
Executive Boards opposition to Mr..
Wallace.
Mr.. Fitzgerald's electrical workers
are the third largest CLIO union.
claiming 100000 members. Only
CLIO President Philip, Murrays steel
workers and Walter Reuthers auto
workers are larger. 10
Mr.. Murray CONCEDED that: the
board action is not binding on cIO
unions. 80
Wallace Not Named.
The anti Wallace resolution did
not mention the former cabinet
by name. but declared that
"a third party would only serve. to
split and divide the forces of prog
ress at the very moment when unity
is our greatest need" 81
Saying that at this time the Clio
Is in no way committed to any
aspirant," the resolu-
ton added:
"We do not agree with the argyll
ment that q third party presiden-
tial campaign would mean larger
vote and a greater possibility of
electing progressive Senators and
Representatives. We believe that
our support of a third party would
weaken the possibility of electing
Congress"
However. Mr.. Bridges contended
that with "the inspiration of Roose-
welt missing" Mr.. Wallace Is the
best bet to bring out the voters.
There was no immediate comment
from Mr.. Wallace.

objections known officially. If the
Senate, which is scheduled to take
the bill up today, substitutes it for
the House passed measure, there will
be no chance for the commission to
propose changes.
But If Senator Taft fails in his
move to substitute his bill for the
Stevenson passed bill in the House,
the measure must be sent to the
House as a brand-new piece of
legislation. In that case, House

approval again would be needed, and
that is where the commission would

man Tobey of the committee on the
Senate floor the other day to take
up that $4,000 bill of mine for

I'VE cannot take up anything so
small as $4,000" quipped Senator
Tobey. I'VE deal only in millions!"
WAGE HEARINGS-Senate Civil
Service Committee hearings on
Federal pay raise legislation are
scheduled to be resumed tomorrow.
Chairman LANCER hopes to speed
up as much as possible the hearings
on the postal phase of the hearings
and then get started on general
Government pay legislation.
Senator LANCER plans. to seek
committee, approval of pay legisla-
ton as soon as possible, but he also
wants the hearings to be. complete
in every detail. In this way, he
believes he and the other sponsors
of the legislation will be well pre-
pared with essential facts to defend
