COMMISSION ID

 IN WEST PROPOSED

Washington, August 27.-Creation of la special federal commission to investi- gate disorders, such as those resulting
 from the I. w. w activities in the west, was recommended to President Wilson today by the council of national de- fense.
 The proposed commission would have
 the authority and support of the Presi- dent to investigate and report on agita- tions and labor disturbances. Creation of the commission was originally recommended by Samuel Gompers
 Tt is felt" said defense council statement. that the suggested com rnssion, going from one state to an- | other representing the national gov ernment perhaps meeting in each in stance the governors of the states with the view to lending sympathetic
 counsel 10 the state governments and dealing both with employers and em- ployes in a conciliatory spirit, would Igo far toward discovering the real causes of this particlar manifestation of social discomfort and assist further in the adjustment of the whole indus trial situation"

Somewhat slowly, but nev- ertheless surely, the Italians are breaking down the re- sistance of the Austrians in the region around Monte Sano, north of Gorizia, and making their way eastward toward the border of upper Carniola.
 In their endeavor to hold back the Italians the Aus trians have brought to this sector large numbers of fresh men, and at last re- ports the fighting was most intense, but with the Italians having overcome the resist ance of the Austrians at va rious points.
 Virtually nothing is being vouch- safed in the Italian official communi- cations which even approximately rec ords the advances General Cadorna's men have made since they began their offensive from the region of Tolmino to the sea, the Italian war office prob ably desiring to conceal from the en- emy the exact objectives it has in view.

WILSON WILL REPLY ID NOTE OF POPE AT AN EARLY DATE

Washington, August 27.-Signs were President Wilson's reply to the peace proposals of Pope Benedict at an early date. Officials freely conceded the probability of the early completion of the communication, indicating that the President and Secretary Lansing at least have agreed upon the basic fca- lures of the reply, that what re- mains to be done is to put these ideas into diplomatic language. It is un- derstood that rough drafts of some of the important points already have been prepared.
 So far no authorized statement has been forthcoming as to the nature of the reply Officials even depreciate speculation concerning i t and there has been formal denial of published re- port that Secretary Lansing had in- formed some of the entente diplomats that Pope Benedict's proposals would be rejected.
 No official opinion exists that the proposals will be accepted, but in diplomatic practice there Is a wide field for discussion between the two extremes of rejection and acceptance. The fact that Pope Benedict, as was pointed out bY statement from the vatican, in some of the most important features of his communication adopt ed principles enunciated by President Wilson is regarded in some quarters as insuring the peace proposals against an unqualified rejection, eveH. in the most polite and diplomatic lan- guage.
 On the other hand. the failure of the pope's plan to meet some of the essential demands of President Wilson as a condition of peace is regarded as making it certain that there can be no acceptance.
 Much of the uncertainty here sur rounding the preparation of the Amer jean reply has arisen from the fact that the major part of the negotia tion upon this subject Vas been con ducted in foreign capitals through resident American ambassadors. In the early stages some attempts were made by the entente diplomats iii Washington to ascertain the probable nature of the American reply. But these were genarlly unsuccessful, not the officials of the state department to deny their confidence to the foreign representatives but for the reason that until he had developed the views of the entente chancelleries President Wilson was maintaining an open mind on the subject.

Washington, August 27. Tension in the Senate's struggle over the war tax bill mounted so today, with the opening of the third week of debate, that the leaders began paving the way for applying the cloture rule to curtail discussion and negotiations were set afoot with the hope of com promising the varying opin- ions over higher taxation of war profits and incomes.
 The Senate spent the day in talk, without action, on the pending postage sections of the bill, while leaders earn estly conferred toward compromising disputes and hastening the measure's passage. They hoped to dispose of the 1-cent letter postage increase and the publishers tax provisions tomor- row, but tAere was no certainly that it could be accomplished and the war profits section reached Wednesday.

 WILSON PLEASED
 Secretary Wilson was delighted last night that peace had been restored. For six days he labored in an effort to com the operators obdurate, and the miners insstent that if they could, not secure recognition of their union, they be given wage concessions
 It was from the beginning almost a desperate undertaking. At no time were indications for peace apparent. Satur- day the secretary formulated his first formal proposal It provided, it is un- derstood, for the appointment of com mission representing the miners, the op- orators and the department of labor, for the purpose of adjudicating the wage question.
 This proposal was rejected by the op- orators. At the same time the operators permitted it to become known that they would agree to nothing unless the min CTS retired from their very vital or inn portant demand.
 SEEMED HOPELESS
 Following that action of the operators, the miners became obdurate. Sunday the secretary found it impossible to in- duce the officials of the union to re- cede from their stated positions.
 A strike appeared unavoidable. The sec- retary prepared to leave for Washington Monday morning. And then the miners intimated that rather than precipitate a reign of terror in the Birmingham dis trict, and embarrass the government in
