Rome Labor Day
*
Marked by Huge
' Fascisti Ovation
National Militia Troops Re
viewed by Premier Musso
lini — 20,000 Syndicate
Workers in Parade.
W
Rome, Apr!! 21.—Labor day, in
past years marked by rioting and
bloodshed, today was the occasion of
an enthusiastic ovation to the fascls
tl government and its accomplish
ments.
IVenty thousand fascistl of tho
national militia wefe reviewed by
Premier Mussolfni In Rome and took
the oath of allegiance while 100,000
more went through a similar cere,
ninny in other leading cities of the
country. Mussolini, in the uniform
of a fascistl corporal rode a spirit
ed sorrel horse and was accompan
ied on his right by general Armando .
Uiag. minister of war, and on his left j
by Bignnr De Bono, director general :
of police.
As the review was taking place
friends of the premier remarked that
the composition of the fascist! mili
tia is the most tangible proof of the
psychological change Mussolini has
wrought in the minds of tho people j
In that the majority of the militia- j
men are peasants whom even Gari
baldi's influence did not aucceed in 1
arousing.
After Mussolini,- the most cheers
went to the war chapain, Carlettl,
whose breast was covered with med
als awarded for,his exploits at the
front. One of the decorations was In 1
recognition of his bravery in taking
command of a detachment of men, j
all of whose officers had been killed
and leading them in a virtoriotffi
charge.
One of the features of the day was
the parading of the fascistl syndi
cates. 20,000 workers taking part In
the demonstration and cheering for
Mussolini and faaclamo.
