ITALIANS

CITIZENS IN MANY ITALIAN
CITIES ARE IN OPEN REVOLT
AGAINST THE INCREASED HIGH
COST OF FOOD AND RENTS.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1Rn.l

Rome, Feb. 9.-Clashes with troops
in half dozen cities of Italy oc-
Cured today as the result of mass
meetings to protest against the exor-
bitant prices of food and high rents.
The general opinion is that wide out
breaks are inevitable.
The people take the position that
the government is to blame for the
high cost of living, partly through the
heavy taxes levied on all food pro-
ducts and partly for its allowing the
formation of several oppressive
trusts. AS a result of all these
causes, thousands of the poorer
classes are on the verge of starvation.
