AUSTRIA s OFFER
Of PEACE TURNED
DOWN BY |TAL |ANS
Premier Orlando Announces
That 0vertures Made About
a Fortnight Ago to Italy
Were Promptly Rejected,

nv hpHNihd JOURNAL SPECIAL leased WlRHl
Washington. June Harmonious
enthusiasm marking Saturdays ses-
sion of the Italian chamber of depu-
ties, at which the socialist leader Tur-
att declared all political lines must be
obliterated until victory was achieved
at the front, was the subject of an Of
ficial radiogram today from Rome.
Points of Premier Orlando's com
munication were outlined in the dis
patch as follows:
THAT Italy's solidarity with the ob-
pressed nationalitics of Austria was
evidenced by the Czecho Slave battal-
ions now fighting side by side with
the Italian soldiers. Also by the IT,
gent appeal to the Jugo- -Slavs of
Rumania to be allowed to join Italy
IN fighting the common enemy.
Second, that the enemys order of
the day to the Austrian officers, which
has fallen into the hands of the ltal-
ian command says,
EncmY'S Order to His OFFICERS.
"All Of the forces ana resources of
the Austrian monarch are now for
the first time being employed entirely
against one enemy; the Italian front is
to be attacked. In France the war has
developed into n movement which will
lead to the occupation Of a country
rich in food and resources For our
part. therefore, let us advance to
Verona"
In the course of his statement Pre-
mier Orlando referred to the announ-
cement which was made by him about
a fortnight ago that the central pow
ers had made overtures to Italy for a
separate peace. The premier's com
ment that this proposal had been
promptly rejected by the Italian gov
ernment was greeted by an enthusas-
tic demonstration.
AdViCes received here do not indi-
cate the nature of the temptations
held out to italy, hut reports current
here at the time first news was given
of this attempt to break the solidarity
of the entente alliance, Indicated that
Emperor Charles was the prime
mover in the attempt at peace negoti-
ations and that he had held out a
promise of extension Of the Italian
border northward i'm recognition Of
Italy's predominating Influence over
the eastern shore of the Adriatic, be-
sides some minor concessions relating
to the status of Ita:ar subjects in
Austria.

or Newcomb Carlton, president OF the
western Union Telegraph company
in the controversy with telegraph OPP
orators employed by the company
were adopted tonight at the conveh-
ton of the American Federation Of
Labor
Action was deferred on resolution
asking that steps be taken 10 prohibit
expectation of news print paper TO
other than allied countries. The pa
per shortage is due, primarily, ac-
cording to the resolution, to low
wages, strikes and lockouts. Officers
Of paper manufacturing unions placed
the blame for the shortage on manu-
facturers and publishers and sounded
a warning that continued discrimina-
ton against union members would
result in further curtalment. The
resolution finally was re-committed
to a committee.
Free Movement of Workers.
The free movement of workers from
one union to another again was the
object of lengthy discussion. AS pre-
sented to the convention the resolu
ton called upon the federation to use
its good offices for the purpose of re-
moving all barriers standing in the
way of transfers of workers. Because
of the large number of technical
unionists who have gone into ship
yard and other governmental work, it
was asserted the question was of
great importance to organized labor,
The resolution was defeated when it
was pointed out that the federation
had no right to interfere with au-
tonomous rights of affiliated unions.
Earlier in the day it was erroneous
~ reported that the resolution would
be held in abeyance pending a con-
ference of all interested parties. In
stead, it was recommitted to the COM
mittee on organization which again
brought it before the convention.
According to the resolution, Presl-
dent Cartons action in calling con-
vention of Western Union employees
to be held in Chicago July 10 is for the
purpose of perfecting "companS-
controlled association" and is con-
tinuance of his denial to workers Of
the right to belong to a legitimate
trade union.

PARRAL TAKEN BY

Juarez, Mex, June 17.--Rumors
that Villa followers captured Parral,
in circulation here yesterday and to-
day. were partially confirmed tonight
by a report from Chihuahua City
saying Villa and his men entered Par
raj Friday, looted the town and were
driven out by federal troops. Train
service south of Chihuahua City was
suspended over Sunday and number
of troops from that garrison were sent
south today.
A woman arrived here today from
Nal Paso, west of chihuahua City
with the first news of the looting OF
that town by Villa followers. Her
husband was among the residents
who were shot down in the streets,
she said. She escaped with her small
baby. The looting occurred June 9.
Five of Epifanio Holguin's band of
Villa followers were captured last
night at Zaragosa, twenty-five miles
east of here, and were brought here
for trial as traitors. If convicted, they
will be executed

Amsterdam, June l1.-Emper-
or William is pictured by Karl
Rosner, the correspondent of the
Lokal Anzeiger, who is attached
TO the emperor's suite. as acting
as good samaritan toward the
British soldiers on May 2S. While
descending Monte Hiver his ma
jesty stopped alongside two
wounded BRUSH soldiers. He
called a medical attendant to ad-
minister brandy to the men, to
stay and bandage their wounds
and to arrange for their transfer
to the hospital.
After supper, the emperor's
thoughts turned to the British
lads, and Rosner reports the
monarch as saying:
when the enemy is beaten we
must care for him with all the
power and means given to us. A
beaten enemy is no longer an en-
emy for u.s."
If those over yonder think and
act otherwise that is their affair.
We Germans will preserve our
conception of Christian duty to-
ward the ill and wounded.
While waging this war we will
also treat those wounded in bat
tie so that when this terrible bus
mess is over ana men again ex-
tend their hand to one another

morse every day and every act of

WORKING FORCES ASKED
TO LEND THEIR SUPPORT

l"v "os""e 'ouS,'., e,se,A, ,s.ssO w,s.p


Washington, June ~, Employers
engaged in war work are urged in a
statement by President tonight TO re-
frain after August | from recruiting
unskllled labor in any manner except
through the United States employ
ment service recently organized by
the department Of labor.
The labor forces were called upon
ny the president to resoond loyally
aS heretofore to any calls issued by
this agency for voluntary enlistment
in essential industry"
FOR more than a year" said the
presidents statement, 1T has been
our PRIDE that not our armies and
navieS only, but our whole people is
engaged in righteous war. We have
said repeatedly that industry PLAYS as
essential and honorable a role N
this great struggle as do our military
armaments. We all recognize the
truth of this but we must also see its
necessary application-namely that
industry, doing vital task for the
nation, must receive the support and
assistance of the nation. We must
recognize that it is a natural demand
almost a right of any one serving
his country, whether employer or en-
nloye, to know that h's service is be
ing used in the most effective man
ner possible. In the case of labor
this wholesome desire has been not a
little thwarted owing to the changed
conditions which war has created in
the labor market,
Much Confusion Has Resulted.
There has been much confusion as
to essential products. There has been
ignorance of conditions-men have
gone hundreds of miles in search of
a job and wages which they might
have found at their doors. Employers
holding government contracts of the
highest importance have competed for
workers with holders of similar cont
tracts, and even with the government
itself and have conducted expensive
campaigns for recruiting labor in sec
tions where the supply of labor was
alreadv exhausted. California draws
it's unskilled labor from as far east as
Buffalo, and New York from as far
west as the Mississippi. Thus labor
has been induced to move fruitlessly
from one place to another, congesting
the railways and losing both time and
money.
such a condition is unfair alike to
employer and employe but most of
all of the nation itself 1t is obvious
that this situation can be clarified and
equalzcd by a central agency--the
United states employment service OF
the department of labor, with the
counsel Of Nle war labor policies board
as the voice of all the industrial
agencies of the government.
Agency Must Have Full Sway.
Such a central agency must have
sole direction of all recruiting of
civilian workers in war work; and, in

for by charging them with diet of
