NO CLASS STRUGGLE.

A speaker, Peter W. Collins. recent
ly made the statement in Columbia
that there was no class struggle. Now,
the United States Commission on In
dustrial Relations has been sitting the
last few days in Chicago This COM
mission has heard the testimony OF
men from the two restless, warning in
terests of capital and labor.
A capitalist comes to the stand He
speaks as one having authority. His
words ring with certainty. The man
talks with the belief that it is ordained
that through his superior efficiency
and intelligence such men as he shall
take and have and keep. 1t is the
voice of a human being who believes
he is good" to other human beings
who are weak and don't know how to
be good" to themselves. In his pa
ternalism he accuses labor of envy.
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, takes
the stand. He speaks eagerly. In the
voices of these leaders of those who
want is exasperation barely controlled.
They tell of the hiring of thugs and
gunmen to intimidate strikers. They
tell of the Illinois coal field in which
there are $4,000 more men than need
ed to mine the coal, where workmen
average 10 days work year, and
$500 for the years pay. They tell of
subtle ways of fighting the workman.
"In Chicago, we have an Associa-
ton of Commerce" says Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick, which has never come out open
ly against the unions. Its efforts are
given to better housing, slfeet tfaiiie'
more parks and the city beautiful. But
when the big strikes are on. you find
delegations and committees organized
nv this association going to the mayor
and other officials to protest against
injury to business.
Julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roe
buck and Company, James Simpson OF
Marshall Field and Company, w. c.
Thorne of Montgomery-Ward and
Company sign protests and act on
committees. Their action is nothing
more nor less than serving notice on

Friction in Evidence.
Although Italy declared war on Aus
tria May "a and hostilities between the
two powers began Immediately. there
has never been any declaration of war
between Italy and Germany. the ally of
Austria, while until now Italy and
Turkey, the ally of the central powers,
nominalIy have been at peace. Friction
between Turkey and Italy, however.
has been in evidence since shortly after
the latter's entry into the war.
Early in June there were reports that
Italian consuls were gradually leaving
Turkey and that American officials
were taking over the task of looking
out for Italian interests. Later charges
were made that the Ottoman govern
ment was preventing these consuls
from leaving and that similar coercion
was being eXerted over Italian civil
ians who wished to quit Turkish soil.
Asks Aid of United States.
July 20 advices came from Rome
that the Italian government had ad-
dressed a note to the United States
asking it to use its influence to pro-
tect Italian subjects in the Ottoman do
mains The complaint that they were
being prevented from leaving was re-
iterated.
Two days later the Italian cabinet
met for the supposed purpose of dis
cussing the situation as regarded Tur-
key, and almost coincidsntly the 1tal-
ian government began to gather evil
dence intended to show that Turkey
had violated the treaty of Lausanne, an
undertaking according to the terms Of
which she pledged herself to withdraw
all Turkish troops and officers from
the Cyrenaica district in Tripoh and
help bring about the submission OF the
Senussi tribesmen in this locality. In
stead of doing this, it was alleged.
Enver Pasha, the Turkish minister of
war, last March sent his brother, Nuri
Bey, to Cyrenaica to foment rebellion.

more acute daily.

refusal to withdraw her troops from

of procrastination.
Hostilities Felt Near.
In official circles in Rome, the feel
ing was held that hostilities on the
part of Italy might begin at any mo-
ment, as her last note to Turkey was
,, almost in the character of an ulti-

ported that declaration of war by
Italy against Turkey would be stimuli
taneous with the sending of about
10000 men to the aid of the Franco
British force on the Gallipoli penin-
sula.
1t was announced August 1s that a
strong squadron of fast Italian cruisers
