Today -100: July 23, 1921: Of Italian violence, spinsters, and Jewish cities


More Fascist-Communist-carabineer violence, in Sarzana, Italy. Something over 25 people are killed, but as some of the bodies were tossed into the sea, an accurate count is not possible.

The Sheppard Maternity Bill passes the House of Representatives 63-7. James Reed (D-Missouri)’s amendment to change the title of the bill to “A Bill to organize a board of spinsters to teach mothers how to raise babies” was rejected by voice vote.

Max Schallman, who may or not be a trade agent for Russia, as he claimed he was while negotiating contracts, especially for shoes, was just arrested in Chicago. He planned to build a city of 20,000 Jews near Niles, Michigan.
