LONDON, Jan. 22--Industrial unrest is
spreading to such degree in Great Brit
ain that 1t Is possible a few days will see
widespread closing down OF factories,
railroads. workshops and mines.
Tho trouble began In the machine
shops and shipyards, where a forty-seven
hour week was granted TO the employees
early this month at the same wages
paid heretofore for fifty-three hours.
The concession was granted readily by
the employers. who put IL into force im-
mediately without consulting the unions
with reference to new shop conditions
entailed. with the result that n Number
OF unauthorized strikes occurred in the
northeastern district over piece rates,
meal times. &C. Negotiations were
opened and the men returned to work
The strike has spread now to the Lon
don district, where the employers have
given way on twelve out of fourteen
demands, but they refuse TO allow 1--WE
minutes grace on time OF checking in
and two ten minute intervals during
working hours for refreshments
Negotiations in the London district
have been broken off. but they continue
in the country REGIONS.
Twenty trade unions are considering
the calling out of their members In a
general strike which is likely to AFFECT
100 900 in London alone. Nearly ibo.-
goo miners in Yorkshire threaten to
quit work on Thursday II the pit top
workers, who were locked out on their
demand for 20 minutes meal time, are
not rcinstated. The granting of this
meal time would impede coal lifting and
cause a decrease in production amount
ing to thousands OF tons . year.
The railway men are dissatisfied with
the progress of the arrangements to
give them an eight hour day on Feb
ruary 1 and now are declaring that
their national programme also must be
conceded. otherwise they threaten to call
a national strike for February 9.
The Scottish trade unions have de-
cided TO call a general strike January
q unless the demand for forty hour
week is conceded to all workers in
Scotland. They declare that reduc-
ton to the forty hour week Is neces-
sary In order to reabsoro the demob'lized
workers into the industries.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.--Diplomatic
advices reaching mere indicate that the
complicated Adriatic problem, which is
regarded as test case for the full sue
cess or partial failure of the Peace Con-
ference. seems likely of an early solu-
ton. President Wilson and the French
and British leaders have received as
surances from the Italian representa-
tives which are described as presenting
the whole question in a new and de-
cidedly hopeful light.
In general way II Is learned here

mands which the Jugo-Slavs are now so
agitated about and that the Italian rep
resentatives are not pressing for Fiume.

I'll the opportune time arrives for OBJ
tanning mutual concessions. Pressure Is
being brought to bear on the Jugo-Slavs
and other nationalities involved to cease
agitation and await the verdict OF the
Peace Conference.
The following facts have been estap-
lshed in connection with developments
which have so far taken place In the
disputed territory:
The Italians in taking military pos
session have followed along exact lines
agreed upon by the United states, Great
Britain and France, as we'll as Italy
Officials here state that there is no rec
ord of Italian troops having gone be-
yond these limits.
The complaints of the Jugo-SlaVs
against the military aggressveness" OF
the Italians in occupied territory are re
garded in some instances as justified
and the Italian military commanders
have been warned.
Agents of the Jugo-Slavs have been
admonished against continuing their
campaigns to arouse public opinion
against Italy and have been informed

H'uN data have been presented to the
Peace Conference with respect TO the
disputed territory which is situated in
the former Austrian provinces OF Gorilla,
Gradisca. Trieste, Istria and Dalmatia.
Agreement on GoriEia.
Agreement has been reached with re-
spect to Gorilla that Italy should re-
ccive not only the right bank Of the
lsonzo. but enough OF the left bank to
give a safe and satisfactory frontier
line. II is understood that ltaly's claims
In this respect are regarded as not open
TO discussion. Likewise with regard to
Trieste, where 81 per cent. OF the popu-
lation is Italian, there Is no question.
But the turning over OF Trieste to italy
probably will be followed by the proc
lamation of Trieste az free interna-
tional port under the Italian flag

case OF 1stria. Jugo-Siavia has laid
claim to the inland Districts where the
Slavonic population usually dominates.
but the western portion of 1stria prob
ably will be assigned TO Italy.
The question OF permitting the Ital-
ians to retain one of the Dalmatian
coast towns is complicated by the Serbo-
Croats' fear that Italy might make this

less opposition TO the retention % spe-
