OTHER PLANTS CLOSE

The plant of the Republic steel COM
pany which is nearer the Youngstown
center than the plant of the Sheet ard
Tube company and which spreads over
about mile has in its employ ten
thousand hands There are all out,
although part of them undoubtedly
have been compelled to quit because
they have no material to work with.
The Union Carnegie company which is
east of Youngstown employees thirty
five hundred men and the neighboring
Ohio Carnegie company employees five
thousand None of these employees are
now working. The Briar Hill plant
employees seventyfive hundred men.
And the Sharon plant south of Youngs-
town which is a United States Steel
corporation subsidiary has employed
about four thousand men.
All of these are closed. So far as
Youngstown is concerned the strike is
temporarily at least a success. North
erly at Warren and at Niles the strikers
have prevailed and so onsup to Cleve-
land. If upon a map the district COM
pletely dominated by the strike be in
Dictated by black lines then the Youngs-
town district stretching northerly to
the Warren and Niles plants, would
represent a substantially tie-up. Cleve-
land should also be included although
there the tie-up is not complete. So
also in Chicago the strikers for the
time being are predominant.
HOW LONG WILL 1T LAST?
With conditions what they are in
eastern Ohio, district which reaches
over into Pennsylvania, and also at
Pittsburg the presumption is strong
that the strike will be maintained for
some weeks. On the other hand it is
the belief commonly held that the rail-
road irrisistable force of public opinion
will at last cause this disturbance to
be brought to an end. Reports which
come to New York seem to justify the
belief that the great majority of the
skilled artisans and expert employees
are not acting voluntarily with the
strikes although many of them have
been compelled to quit work because
they are unable to obtain the material
with which to carry on their work.

ITALY REJECTS
TWO PROPOSALS
Made With View of Settling
Controversy Over
Fiume.
.ELEMENT OF CoMPLExITY
Injected Into Situation by Re-
quest Of Italy for Another
Loan From U. s.

Paris, April 25.-UN.S.)-A new
element of complexity entered the
Italian situation today when 1t be-
came known that Italy, within the
past few days. had appealed to the
United States for another loan of
$50.000.000. The presidents advisers
say that even IL italy actually left the
peace conference. the United States
would probably continue to give aid
in food and money in the name of
humanity.
The Italians charge that President
Wilson interrupted the negotiations
at time when they promised a So
luton of the Fiume problem, was de-
MED in official French circles. I. was
pointed out that the proposals which
the Italians presented to Premier
Clemenceau before they withdrew
from the negotiations were far from
President Wilson's view.
Two counter suggestions for the
disposition of Fiume were made:
1--Internationaliza OF Fiume
under the league of nations.
2--Make the FIVE big powers the
trustees of the port. ss ys .sa
~ Both were turned down cold by the
Italians. who insisted on the outright
ownership of the city and port.
President Wilson did not invite the
Italians to confer with him on
Thursday afternon. On the contrary
he went about his usual business.
considering the Italian situation
closed.
1t is now pointed out in official
French circles that If the Italians Of
ficially quit the conference the ques-
tiop would come up whether Italy had
not violated the pact of London by
insisting upon the ownership of FL
ume, thus releasing the French and
British. Furthermore. attention was
called to the fact that the allies. in
accepting President Wilson's fourteen
principles, made reservation only for
freedom of the seas and reparation.
Thus France and Great Britain might
claim their release from the pact OF
London on that. score.
IT. is learned in British circles that
an official statement was about to ne
issued supporting the president, but
was withheld on the ground that a
solution of the Italian question might
be reached by the big four on Thurs
day afternoon. The compromise pro-
posed at this meeting Is understood
to have followed these lines.
The hinterland between Fiume and
Dalmatia would be administered by
the league of nations, Italy getting
the islands in the Adriattc.

ITALIAN DOMINATION
IN DALMATIA FEARED

London, April 25.-(Copy-
right, n. Y. World.)-"T have
been travelling in Dalmatia to
learn the racial character of
the population and the desires
of the people for the future"
So wires Rothsay Reynolds
from Spalato to the Daily
News, and goes on:
Il can state that a vast ma
joTity of the people of this
beautiful land are Slav. The
Dalmatians desire to be united
with the Serbs, Croats and Slo-
venes in one united Jugo- -Slav
state. At the present moment
a large part of Dalmatia, in
cluding the cities of lara and
Sebenico, and many OF the
islands are occupied by ltal-
ians, in accordance with the
terms of the armistice made
with the central powers by the
allies. But the Italians appear
to regard their occupation as
permanent and not temporary,
and are behaving accordingly.
81 wish to state with the
greatest emphasis that what 1

yiction that If the free nations

DECISION AS TO DANzIG
SATISFACTORY TO POLES
PORT TO BE CREATED "A
FREE CITY"
League of Nations to Guaran-
tee independence of Auton-
omous Republic.

Paris, April 25.-(A. PD-Recon-
sideration of Polish aspirations and
claims relative to Danzig has re-
suited in a decision concerning the
. future status of that city, which
goes considerably further toward sat
isfying Polish demands than was
contemplated some time ago.
The "free city of Danzig" will be
created, not as a neutralized state
but virtually as an autonomous re-
public within the Polish state, con-
tanned within the Polish customs
union and represented in interna-
tional relations by Polish diplomats.
Its citizens will be entitled to diplo-
matte privileges held by the citizens
of Poland, and Poland will be guar
anteed free use of the Danzig
wharves and docks and other trans
portation facilities. Poland will be
given control and administration of
the vistula water route and freedom
to cross, not only through the Polish
corridor, but also through German
territory if necessary.
Polish control, however, will not
extend to the internal affairs of the
city, over which the residence will
enjoy complete local autonomy. The
independence of Danzig under these
conditions will be guaranteed by the
league of nations. which will appoint
a high commissioner to arrange the
necessary treaties with Germany and
Poland and assist the municipal rep
resentatives in drafting a constitu-
tion. Germany will be guaranteed
freedom of passage across the Polish
corridor to East Prussia.

BACKING SLAVS CLAIMS
British Shipping Interest Finance
Jugo- Slav Propaganda.

Chicago. April 25.-British ship
ping interests are financing the Jugo-
Slav propaganda and backing the
Slavs' claim to Fiume, according to
Oscar Durante, editor of L'Italia, q
leading Italian publication of the
midwest.
Mr.. Durante bases his statement on
information reaching me direct from
Rome recently"
''Vicent Morello, famous newspaper
writer of Italy, who contributes to
the Rome Tribuna under the nom de
plume of 'Rastignac.' has stated over
his name recently that the Cunard
ship people are backing the Jugo-
Slavs in the present controversy"
said Mr.. Durante.
1.-THE Tribuna of Rome has repeat
edly stated in Morello's column that
the Cunard people are to be given
big concessions at Fiume If the Jugo-
Slavs retain that city and port under
the peace treaty. AS it is represented
to the Italians in this country, nearly
all the money that is being spent in
the United States for Jugo- -Slav
propaganda isscoming from British
shipping interests.

ment is cognizant of this, but it sure
ly must open its eyes before it is too
