National Grange Against
Federal Rail Ownership
New York Tribune
Washington, Bureau

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Opposition
to government ownership of railroads
and to the extension of control of the
carriers by the government was voiced
to-day by the National Grange in a
letter sent to President Wilson by
7. c. Atkeson, Washington representa-
tive of the organization.
persons who have sought recently
to give currency to the statement that
organized farmers favor government
ownership are not farmers themselves"
Mr.. Atkeson's letter asserted "Neither
do they represent any considerable
proportion of the men or women
actually engaged in farming. In this
belief, I am strengthened by the fact
that the agricultural press, with few
and inconspicuous exceptions, oppose
government ownership of the railroads
and any extension Of government ope-
ration, and the leaders Of the great
agricultural organizations other than
the grange are nearly unanimous in
opposition to government ownership"

Italy to Announce Policy
Ministers Decide on Attitude
Regarding Soviet Russia

ROME, Dec. 20-The session of coun-
Gil Of ministers lasted three hours to-
day. According to the "Tribuna," the
minister's approved statement to be
made by Signor Scioloia, Foreign Min
lister, in the Chamber on foreign policy
This consists of two parts. The first
will deal with Italy's foreign policy in
general, setting forth the attitude Italy
will take regarding the Russian Soviet
and the other states which have arisen
through the collapse of the Russian
Empire.
The second will discuss the Italian
questions still unsolved by the Paris
conference, especially the Fiume prob
lem
'These questions,' the "Tribuna"
adds, "have not made any progress be-
cause of the irreducible attitude Of
President Wilson, while England and
France are more eager to please Presi-
dent Wilson than to favor Italy"

Rich Man, Poor Man, Indian Chief May Be
Drafted Into Service if Blizzard Arrives, as
50 Cents Hour Offer Tempts Few

Portly citizens, who need regular ex-
ercise for the sake of their circumfcr
ences. will be forced to substitute the
snow shovel for the mashie, in the not
unlikely event Of heavy snowstorm
Par for the average city block should
be about twenty-five with profess
sional size shovel; If one is reduced
to using Willie's little tin club fifty
would be DOGGY.
Street Cleaning Commissioner Mac
Stay is cheerful in the face of ad-
versity. Admitting that he will need
about $4,000 extra helpers if the biz
zard duly arrives, he admits also that
his chances Of getting them through
regular channels are about as GOOD as
Alexander Berkman's chances to be
elected President of the United States:
but he declares he expects his prepared
ness campaign, begun yesterday, to
bring him almost as many volunteers
as he will need.
Shortage of labor has led Commits
sloner MacStay to take unusual methods.
Ordinarily the arrival of even a few
mililgrammes of winters Wilderness
would result in the outpouring of
hundreds of unemployed huskies upon
the Department of Street Cleaning,
each one eager to seize shovel and
pusher and 60 forth to battle with
the accumulated drifts at 40 cents an
hour; But not this year. The winter
which sees a bread line of one lone
waif and only two casuals in the
shelter of the Bowery Mission will

removal of matted snowfakes.
The department is equipped better
now than ever before with mechanical
devices to aid in snow removal. "If

ians of India who died in the war is

denominations can worship together
One arm would be assigned to each Of
the four church divisions recognized by
the government in the war, namely,
Church of England, Roman Catholic,
Presbyterian and united board, includ-
ing Methodist, Congregational and Bap-
fist, while the terminal wall of eac

help to support great central dome.
The four divisions could be decorated
and used according to the customs of
the respective denominations.

"Wilson has discreditcd us national

within month after the signing of the

department will be able to clear the
streets better than in years past"
That the eff" in the case is Of COM
manding proportions the Commission
er admits, and he has prepared an
elaborate campaign of propaganda to
Offset the effects. The first feature is
the boosting of the ante for capable
snow shovelers. In years past this
work has been paid for at the rate Of
handle this years deposits will get 80
cents an hour.
The department is also making an
effort to bring home the attractive
features. Of snow shoveling as a win
ter pastime to citizens who may not
need the money. A number of lantern
slides showing beautiful ten-foot
drifts and exciting billiards., with
ruddy- checked shovelers having the
time of their lives loading forty-pound
snowballs in& the wagons of the de-
partmcnt, will be distributed broad
cast among the movie houses. The
slides will carry attractive and patri-
otto titles, for which "Why Go to
Switzerland for Winter Sport?" is
favored suggestion.
1t has been suggested, also, that
volunteers might be called from the
high schools and colleges of the city.
In order to avoid confusion and over
tapping by too enthusiastic amateurs
the city has been divided into zones,
the zones partitioned into districts
and the districts sub divided into sec
tions, all operating under the direction
Of a central bureau at the Municipal
Building. The workers in the various
districts will operate from district
headquarters, which are located at the
department stables and sweepers'
headquarters.

the matter of bus accidents, it was
said, the city authorities have stated
publicly that the municipality would
assume all the obligations which would

sponsibiity.

ROME, Dec. 20.-Predictions concern
ing the vote Of confidence which 1t is
expected will be asked for in the Cham
Der of Deputies on Sunday are print
ed ny the "Tribuna" and other news
papers. The prevailing opinion seems
to be that the Cabinet will have a
maj ority of from 30 to so votes.
If Premier Nitt receives a small
majority it is believed he probably will
change several members of his Cab-
net to strengthen his position. If he
is defeated, it is thought he will again
be intrusted with the task of forming
a new Cabinet, as there is no leader in
the entire opposition.
