 Rome, Aug. 3.-Policeman Guglielmo Caracciolo is today $200 richer for having slapped the face of Deputy Dugoni, a so- cialist member of parliament. Caracciolo also will receive a medal, as soon as it can be suit ably designed and coined.
 During the recent socialist strike in Italy, Deputy Dugoni found himself at the head of a body of demonstrators. In ev- cry conflict with the police or military Dugoni managed to es- cape physical mussing up, as- serting his immunity as mem- Der of parliament, and defying anyone to touch him.
 Dugoni's bluff remained effec- tive until he met Policeman Car acciolo. The latter decided that while the deputy's body might be inviolable, he would take chance that his face wasn't, and slapped it twice, inviting the fu- rious deputy later to take said face back to parliament and show it to his colleagues.
 Deputy Altobelli, a fellow so- cialist member of parliament, but belonging to a faction op- posed to the strike, took up a subscription of one-franc contri- buttons. He found 1,500 people glad to contribute towards the purse and the medal.

.CLOTH|ERS WILL
 START A STRIKE
Agreement Made Last Year Is To Be Broken-Workers Demand
 Higher Pay.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The cloth ing workers of this city threaten to go on strike for higher wages. The workers insist that they cannot live on the amount of pay received from the manufacturers.
 The announcement of the strike comes as a surprise to the Manufac- turers Association because of the agreement made last year for a schedule of wages to last for three years and the agreement that the manufacturers would employ none but union men and women. The un- ion was recognized as the Employees Association and all workers were au- tomatically taken into the union and the dues subtracted from their pay. It was hoped that this arrangement would do away with all strikes and that the Manufacturers Association and the clothing workers would be able to settle any differences that might come up between the two.
 The strike if called will effect 7O,- 900 people.

SHIP PURCHASE
 BILL REPORTED Wilson Measure for Government Owned Steamship Line Is Re.
 ported FavorabIy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The Senate Commerce Committee today recommended the administration bill to appropriate $50,000,000 with which to purchase steamships and operate a transatlantic service. The bill will be vigorously fought by anti government ownership men and by the senators opposed to entering a business which may result in the gov. ernment becoming involved in the Flu. ropean war.
 The opponents of the Wilson bill insist that hundreds of ships are idle in the United States and will not take the chances of running the blockades and mine fields of the Flu. ropean waters. These ships are fly ing neutral flags. The government boats should not take chances which private owners refuse to risk, is the opinion of many.
 The law passed at the last session allowing the transfer of ships from other flags to American register has resulted in many ships owned Dy Americans but heretofore operated under German or British flags be- cause of the stringent rules of the American government, being trans ferred to change to American regis ter.
