Great Britain, almost tied up by the
great railway strike, saw chance for
peaceful settlement toward the end
the transport workers and other trades
went into conference with Premier
Lloyd George. None Of the railroad
men were in the deputation. The allied
unions were seeking compromise as
an alternative to going on a sympa-
thetic strike. So far the government
had been firm in its refusal to yield
anything to the strikers, and many
trains were being operated under
armed guard. The use Of soldiers in
this way aroused the bitter protests
OF organized labor generally. AS a con-
sequence Of the strike the United
States shipping board stopped the
clearance of vessels for England.
Labor in England has thought up
something that 1t seems to have over
looked in this country. Union com
positors on some papers asserted the
right to censor the news they set up
so it would not be unfavorable to the
strikers. and in at least one instance
they compelled the withdrawal Of an
advertisement for men to take the
places of those who had quit.
Before this appears in type DAN
nunzio's Italians and the Jugo-Slavs
may be openly at war. The rebel
leader has said he considers such q
state exists, and he and his followers
apparently will welcome the outbreak
of hostilities. At Spalato there already
has been fighting, in which it was re-
ported some 200 men were killed. Two
| American cruisers hurried there to re
store order. D'Annunzio's army In
creases daily with the arrival Of de
serters from the regulars and he dis
played his defiant spirit by refusin:
to treat with the government as Ions
as Nitti remains at it's head. He wal
planning juncture of Italian trOop
at cara and SebeHicO and there wer
persistent rumors that unless the gov
eminent yielded and supported hin
he would proclaim new republic. TIL
situation of the italian government
would be ridiculous If it were not S
nearly tragic. Except for the Socia
lists. the people certainly are in syn
patty with D'Annunzio's assertio
that Fiume must belong to Italy, an
the demand is general that the $,
preme council Of the allies ignore Pre-
ident Wilson and carry out that claus
, of the treaty of London. France an
Great Britain have been only LUX,
: warm in their support of Mr.. WilsO
and probably would comply with tt
! demand of the Italians il they cou
$ do so gracefully. However, the 81
e preme council holds the position tina
: all else aside, it cannot afford to ha,
