STRIKE OF ITALIAN FARM WORKERS

ROME, May 22. A 16-yeßr-old farm worker was seriously wounded when masked men i with Automatic rifles opened fire on six peasants working on a farm near Cremona. The shooting occurred after the peasants had refused to obey the , masked men’s order to join the nation-wide farm workers’ strike. After it had been reported that striking farm workers were intimidating farm hands who wanted to continue working, the Minister of the Interior (Mr Mario Scelba) said that the Government would take steps to guarantee “freedom to work.” The secretary of the Communistdominated General Confederation of Labour said that the strike, which was caused by “the landowners’ stubbornness” about a national wages agreement, must continue, although cftrA would still be taken of stock and dairy animals.
