TALK OF WAR IN NEW YORK
Italians Say Thousands Would
Cross Sea to Fight.

In Italian circles of the city yesterday the
main subject of discussion was the posi-
billty Of war between Italy and Turkey.
Italians were of the opinion that If war
should come the tremendous superiority OF
the Italian navy over that Of Turkey would
be a decisive factor. They pointed out that
Il would be hard for Turkey. practically
without navy, TO cross the sea to lripoli,
and that It would be absurd TO imagine
that Turkish troops would be permitted to
go through Egypt
Frank Panciatichi, an editor of I'll Pro
gresso Italo-Americano, said
Italy. like most old country powers, needs
extension and expansion Tripol Is her
opportunity. Turkey knows It, ana IurkeS
miro The danger and the difficulty Is That
Turkey, according to her historic precedeht,
may try TO destroy the immensely valuable
commerce between ner ports ana those OF
Italy. not to speak Of anything Ike a
massacre Of Italians in Turkey.
don't think the Italian government
would call upon Italians mere 10 return 70

are a patriotic race. as history shows. ana

sands OF Italians here who would cross the

Gin the event OF war with Turkey there
are about eighty thousand Italians, all men
of military experience, who would jump

BRITAIN AGAINST ITALY
Press Denounces Ultimatum in
Bitter Terms.

London. Sept 2S.-The British press de-
nounces Italy's action In unmeasured
terms. asserting that Italy's ultimatum
cots forth no sufficient reason for the step,
which Turkey can regard only as an act
Of war The general view expressed IS
that Italy evidently is bent on ior-ibly
seizing the Tripoli coast and has ruled
diplomacy out Of court by her action,
which gives Turkey no chance TO negotiate
terms.
The Standard" declares that the Barbary
corsairs had a similar conception OF ethlcs
and international rights. The papers also
Charge the Italian government with cynical
recltlessness because her action may have
dcplorable consequences, affecting all the
rcwers having Moslcm subjects i'm Africa
and Asia, besides the probability OF re-
cpening the Balkan complication.
II is understood that war between Italy
and Turkey might be followed by the Mos
Isms preaching a holy var against the
Christians. and possibly by Turkey Selling
Thessaly, which might entail European
war with consequences as serious for Italy
herself as for the other powers.

kept here at the disposal Of the italian
consul.
The Turkish authorities are doing their
utmost to maintain order but there is
ar under current of grave alarm. Turk
ish pickets are patrolling the town day
and night. The most threatening dan
ger is that the Arabs may rise against
the Italians who are still here. The
departure o. many Europeans has inten-
sified the feeling of the Arabs against
Italians.
Trading vessels lie in the roadstead,
their cargoes undischarged. No native
or foreign labor can be obtained, so
threatening IS the native population.

laws PROMOTE
WORKERS SAFETY
LIABILITY LEGISLA
TIoN HELD BENEFICIAL TO
EMPLOYER AND MEN.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-The passage ol
workmen's compensation or accident
insurance laws in ten states last year
did more to promote the safety OF
working men than had been accom-
plished in the previous score of years
according to speakers at the fifth an
nual convention Of the American asso
citation for Labor Legislation which
opened here today.
Henry Seager, vice chairman Of the
New York employers liability com
mission as presiding officer for the op
ening session, described the accom-.
plishments during the life of the or
ganization. The point Of view Of even
those manufacturers who first looked
with alarm at the cost Of the instafla.
ton of safety appliances has com
pletely changed according to Mr..
Seager who said that during the year
hundreds of factory owners had come
to realize that their own prosperity
lay in assuring their workmen every
degree Of safety.
The chief purpose Of the present ses-
sion Is to draft bill intended to OBJ
tain uniform accident reports in all
states. A round table conference OF
state labor commissioners will be held
tomorrow morning.
At another round table conference
officers of the labor legislation will
draft plans to carry on the educational
and legislative program against pois-
onous phosphorus in the manufacture
of leads; the investigation Of occupa-
tional diseases and the enforcement
of labor laws.
Labor Commissioner Charles P. Neil
will preside at tonight's session and
John R. Commons, member Of the
Wisconsin Industrial commission, will
have charge tomorrow.
