O'clock. Although pronounced out of
danger by his physicians, further at

The sudden illness OF Nr. Walden

STRIKE CALLED
IN EFFORT TO
SAVE ITALIANS
Syndicalists in Italy Take Up
Cause of Countrymen in
Lawrence Prison.

ROME, Sept. 7.--As a means OF fore
ing King victors government to make
representations at Washington in be-
half of the two Italians, Ettor and Gio-
vannitti. imprisoned in Lawrence,
Mass. on a murder charge growing out
OF the recent la Dor troubles thre, syn
dicalists throughout Italy are organized
for a monster strike, paralyzing indus
try all over the country.
The Ettor and Giovannitti case has
been causing the most intense feeling
iH Italy for some time In parliament
Deputies Chiasa, a Republican; Todrec-
ca and Carine,. Socialists; Media, a
Clerical, and Avonti, a Socialist-D
ocrat. recently demanded that the Rome
government make the matter an inter-
national issue. Though no action was
taken, there is no question that the
demand was supported by an over
whelming majority of the people.
Newspaper Comment.
The newspapers have published col
umns of accounts of the case, radical
and conservative journals alike, declar-
blg substantially as La Tribuna Illus
trata put it. that Ettor and Giovanni
ii ARE the victims of the capitalists
who provoked the strike at Lawrence,
Mass, by terrible conditions"
Another newspaper, L'Interna ztionale,
appeals to syndicalists throughout Eu-
rope to make the case their own. The
Corriere Della Sera, the Corriere Italia
and the Secolo are among other news
papers which have expressed them
selves similarly.
Enormous posters have been scattered
broadcast calling on workingmen to
join In the movement in their country
mems behalf. Many labor leaders are
urging demonstrations before the vari.
ous American consulates in Italy, pro.
testing against the treatment of Ettor
and Giovannitti by the Massachusetts
authorities. News has been received
from Brussels that similar agitation
has been started there.
In the Italian governments attitude
there has apparently been no change
since Under Secretary of Foreign Az.
fairs Prince Discalca stated in parlia.
ment that the foreign office had con.
fined itself to instructing the Italiar
consul in Boston to see that Ettor ant
Giovannitti were provided with abl,
counsel and that they received fail
