In the absence of a peace treaty, conditions are going from bad to worse. Through shortages of coal and raw materials, heavy engineering is at a standstill, and many industries are practically shut. -Until February, employers were compelled to carry excess workers on their payrolls but the CGI (General Confederation of Lhabor) agreed that this could not be continued indefinitely and ac- ceded to the gradual dismissal of about 20 percent of the work- ers in northern Italy. In Lom- bardy, unemployment already ex- ceeds 1,500,000. While children are starving for lack of milk and tuberculosis is spreading alarmingly, whipped eream is still available. A rich aristocracy, protected by the Al- lied Control from the purge which resistance forces demanded, lives luxuriously. By contrast, the ay- erage Italian fortunate enough to have a job earns at most 8000 lire a month. To buy food alone—to say nothing of clothing—monthly income of 13,000 lire is essential.

Strike ed this action and claimed dis- erimination, and urged the man- agement to retain the services of these men, pending settlement of the dispute. The management refused, with the result that on the following morning, employees picketed the plant. -The management then intim- ated they were going to bring in seab labor, with the result that the pieket line was greatly strengthened. : The following day, the man- agement was again contacted by W. LL. White and C. W. Caron, te try and effect a settlement, in which they pointed out to the management . that regardless, whether the strike was legal or illegal, the strike would continue, as the union was prepared to fight to the last ditch against all eases of discrimination, with the result that the management fin- ally agreed to return all workers to their jobs without prejudice. It is interesting to note that the employees of the Armco Drainage and Metal Products en- joy the highest scale of wages of any plant on the Island, 17 cents being the low wage being paid in that plant. At the present time another strike has been in progress eight days, at the Active Trading Com- pany Limited. This involves dis- erimination against the union, where a shop steward of the plant was assaulted and fired by the Manager, Mr. Berman. Fol- lowing this provocative action, the employees immediately struck, and despite the question- able tactics of the management in trying to move their products at three o’clock in the morning, they have successfully maintain- ed the picket line, and prevented the removal of stocks. The Na- tional Union of Operating Engin- eers have also refused to handle any of the stocks of the Com- pany, after an investigation had been conducted by Herb Filesher and Charlie Wren, officials of that organization.
