MEASURES
OF a CommuniStiC Nature Are
Introduced by Italy to Solve
Labor Problems.

ROME, Italy, June 3O.-In order
to solve problems of farm labor and
farm production. Italy has intro
duced set Of communistic measures
that are stated to be more compre-
hensIvc than any Of those yet devised
by the various countries Of Europe at
war.
by decree Of the minister OF agri-
culture. the entire farming system
OF the country has been recognized
on mutual basis By which land own
ers are forced to aid their tenants
bp which projects Of departfents are
required to oversee the relations of
both owner and tenant, By which the
government Itself Is compelled to buy
and loan machinery. and, finally, by
which tenants must help each other
and loan both machinery and labor
Tho decree provides for the ex-
emptlon from military service OF the
farmer. II he be the only male left to
till the soil. II also encourages the
employment OF women labor on the
farm. giving them proper pay and
permitting them to make contracts
oil the character customarily made in
peace times with men laborcrs.
Laborers are granted a scventy-fve
per cent reduction in railway fares,
Just as II on military service. so that
they may be shifted chcaply from one
district TO another according to labor
demands and the rotation OF crops.
Special courts to settle disputes be-
tween laborers Or farmers have been
provided for each farming district.
When tenant is forced to employ
extra help. the land owner is required
TO pay One-half Of the wages of such
help. Special commissions are also
being established in each department
to regulate the distribution OF labor.
OF machinery, and of horses. mules.
and oxen, no matter who the owner.
so that the most pressing crops and
harVests may be attended to in time
These commissions are also cmpow-
cred to transfer such labor. machin-
cry. and animals from one province
TO another.
