s,eech at Crewe of Mr.. Thomas, Labour
Mp. for Derby and organizing Secretary of

wants. He declared be had received within q
week one hundred resolutions favourlng a
General strike, the leaders, he said, do not
aoree to accept the findings OF the Conmls-
sion and the men would accept nothing less

not prepared to announce the leaders IN
~tentions except that the present conditions
must be altered; the majority favour extreme
action. He asked the pablo to consider the
consequences OF a strike before Christmas,

are fanaticallv brave, charging right up to
the rapid-fre guns repeatedly, and over five
hundred Italians have been killed in a
week end engagement, their enemies falling
by hundreds.
According to reports received in Constan-
tinople via Tunis, the Italians are falling
back mon their first line of defences, and
the Turks are occupying the abandoned
positions.
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
TELEGRAPH saws the censorship conceals the
truth, and the. Italian position is critical.
