the Italian Labor Mission. Resolu-

of the so-called Labor Mission cannot

More trouble developed shortly, and
this time not even the united efforts

The problem was solved by the quick
wit and, rare tact OF the chairman Of

tor the Liberdtor.
Giovannitti had Just introduced
Prof. Scott Nearing when a square
jawed. stocky built man rushed to the
front OF the room and began talking.

told him to have a. seat, but he per-
sisted. An excitable man on the plat

deavored to lead him aside so that
Nearing could start spellbinding. He
was showed toward the rear of the
platform, but came back strong and
started speaking in voice which un-
der normal circumstances would have

Then 1t was that the diplomacy OF
Giovannitti flashed out. Turning from
Mening he wrcnched off his coat and
threw 1t on the floor. Then he seized
the huge white pitcher full OF ice
water in his right hand and held II
