Persuasion, it is said here, is useless
without agreeing to Capt. DAnnunzio's
conditions-the annexation Of the port OF
Fiume and the hinterland to Italy proper.
It is asserted that If the Italian gov
ernment should accept such conditions
she would have against her not only her
allies, but erstwhile enemies, headed by
Jugoslavia, which perhaps would already
have acted but for internal troubles and
the lack of a responsible man in power.

Discussion of Wages for Minors De

Postponement until October 8 at 10
o'clock of a public hearing on the
wages of minors in the mercantile
industry has been announced by the
minimum wage board.
The hearing was granted by the
board at the request Of merchants,
whose contention was that. the rates
for minors would disorganize indus

passed a resolution upholding the
rates set by the board and calling at
tention to alleged evils which would
follow a lowering OF these rates.
Another protest against a change

organization felt that it would "be
a serious mistake" to lower rates or
conditions.
