ROME, Sept. 1s.-The situation at
Fiume yesterday was unchanged. ac-
cording to semi-ofiicial advices re-
ceived to-day. Gabrielle d'Annunzios
force still was holding the town. and
Gen. Badoglio, Deputy Chief of STAFF
of the Italian army. has issued a
proclamation reminding the troops
that the time limit for their return to
the armistice zone would expire to-day.
ROME, Sept. IS.-Gen. Badoglio, who
has been invested by royal decree with
he powery Of military plenipotentiary
o deal with the situation at Fiume, is
In Triest.
Accounts of his meeting with
D'Annunzio in Fiume are inventions.
..s also are stories circulated of a dra-
ratio interview Of the poet-patriot
with Gen. Pittaluga, commanding Ital-
ian troops in Fiume.
1t is officially announced that a num-
i'er OF men in the Calabria brigade
now realize their mistake and have re-
turned to their proper duty. Regard
ing the probable course of events in
Fiume, the controlling factor of the
situation seems to be that the city is

fuence D'Annunzio's attitude toward
Radoglio, but of what, If anything, that
passed between them there is as yet
no reliable news.
There is significance in a report of
the posting in Fiume Of an announce
ment of the resignation of the Nitti
Ministry. The Premier himself ex-
plicitly limited a connection between
the Fiume raid and the political oppo-
sltion to him ever since he assumed
power. and the campaign still is car
lied on in the idea Ndsiondle, and with
special virulence in the Giornale.
The particular accusation is that
Premier Nitti is dragging down the
prestige of Italy by his subservience
to the Allies and his accentuation Of
her economic and financial dependence
upon them.
Even the Tribune criticises mildly
on the ground that It is inconceivablc
that America should starve Italy for
political ends. But Premier Nittis
policy ever since he assumed power
has been to tell the whole truth. how
ever unpalatable. and he may be pre-
sumed to have the best information to
Judge the situation.
Premier Nitti and Gen. Diaz are In
caily conference with the King.

PRICES DROP
IN 12STATES
Department of Justice Tells of
Retail Foodstuff Cost
Reduction.
NO DECREASE IN CLOTHING
Recession From High Point Is
Expected to Be Felt Through
out the Country.
Special DespatcA TO TIE Sun.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-The cost OF
living has been reduced from 10 per
cent. to Is per cent. in twelve States
according to reports received and
made public by the Department OF
Justice to-day. The identity of the
twelve States was not made known In
the official announcement. but some OF
them, 1t is said, are in the East.
The 10 to Is per cent. reduction
was in retail prices of foodstuffs. Re-
ports received from four States ndi-
cate a reduction in wholesale food
prices of from per cent. to 5 per
cent.
In other States and other communi-
ties the cost of living is being held
stationary. and there have been no
appreoiable advances. II is declared
since the Government inaugurated Its
campaign against high prices. 2
One significant feature of ,ne official
announcement to-day is, however. that
there has been no reduction reported in
the prices of clothing or other necessi-
ties of life except in a few small com
munities. This would indicate that COM
modify prices with the exception Of food
are holding UP despite the efforts Of the
Department of Justice and other Gov
ernment organizations.
In some cities, here for instance, fair
price committees have not got their
work under way. Publication of the
fair price list. in Washington has been
frequently delayed first from one cause
and then from another. The reductions
reported to the department are from
fair price committees where organiza-
tion has been in full swing for some
time.
Government efforts at price reduc-
tion are not to be halted. On the other
hand new pressure is to be brought to
bear from every possible quarter. The
Federal Trade Commission has brought
action against Chicago mail order
grocery concerns and against a Pitts
burg bakery concern. Other actions
are likely to follow.
The Department Of Justice Is also ex-
pected to bring further antitrust ac-
tions.

EMMA GOLDMAN
TO BE DEPORTED

and Stay Out Forever,

BOTH ARE SERVING TERMS
Pair Can Carry Red Oratory,
Off Which They Lived,
Back to Russia.

Emma Goldman and Alexander
kerkman, who have been partners in
the business of trouble making for
thirty years, soon will journey back
ito their native Russia together, leav-
ing behind them permanent barriers
against their reentry into the United
states. The Bureau of Immigration
at Washington announced yesterday it
had issued warrants of deportation for
them as alien anarchists.
Both are in the custody of the Gov
ernment after conviction of conspiring
t. violate the draft law, and there is
unlikely to be difficulty In carrying out
the deportation warrant, though a
fsbeas corpus writ or two may op-
Crate to postpone the departures, Miss
Goldman is in the Federal woman's
prison nt Jefferson City, Mo-. and
Eerkman is at the Atlanta peniten-
tiary.
Deportation Warrants Signed.
The deportation warrants have been
sent to the prison wardens. Both prison.
ers will be held on the expiration of
| their sentences next week to await de-
portation hearings
So far as Berkman Is concerned there
Is no question but that he Is an alien
and professed anarchist He shot
Henry c. Frick after the Homestead
riots in 1892 and since has been an ac-
tive proponent of violence. In the case
OF Miss Goldman there is some doubt as
to her status. She has made claim to
being an American citizen through her
father. who, she asserts. was naturalized
as citizen while she was minor. The
father is dead.
Miss Goldman and Berkman were con-
victed in the Federal District Court here
after they had made violent anti-Gov-
ernment speeches in the early months of
the war. Judge Julius NJ. Mayer SEN
fenced them to serve two years each.
In passing sentence Judge Mayer
recommended that the defendants be de-
ported at the expiration Of their sem
tences.
Harry weinberger. counsel for the
two. was said at his office yesterday to
be In washington. II was said that he
has started a movement to raise SIS, 900
as a fund with which to hght the de-
portation process.
Miss Goldman and Berkman have been
associated since the days, thirty years
ago, when they began as young immi-
grant radicals to set things right In
America They were newly in the coun-
try and did not speak its language, but
that did not interfere with their ac-
tivities as leaders of the anarchists Of
the East Side.
They were recognized as leaders
among the obscure agitators with whom
they associated and in the unions Of
the garment trades until. in 1892. Berk-
man shot Frick. He became notorious
and Miss Goldman got much Publicity
as his sweetheart.

BERLIN SWINDLER

Copyright. 1919. all rights reserved.


BERLIN. Sept. 1S.-The latest Berlin
swindle, reported to-day. is said to be
unprecedented in criminal annals. A
man about 30 years old, calling him
self a legal assessor and representing
himself as instructed by sthe police
president, visited a young woman in
Schoeneberg, a Berlin suburb, stating
that he was obliged to search her house
for meat. After doing so he made her
produce her ready money, amounting to
l.10O marks, Of which he confiscated
100 marks.
He then declared he must submit
specimens Of blood Of every member Of
the family to a public analyst whose
duty It was to ascertain by analysis
whether more meat had been eaten than
was legally allowed each person. The
woman declared her readiness to allow
the specimen of blood TO be taken from
her arm. The assessor. however. de-
clared II must be taken from the upper
part OF the thigh. The woman even all
lowed this done. since the assessor as
serted he positively must insist upon II
under all circumstances.
So far the swindler has not been
arrested.

PITTsRURo, Sept 1s.-Tfe following
letter was sent by the steel workers
tonight to President Wilson in reply
tc the request made by the President
for a postponement of the steel strike
until after the labor conference
scheduled to be held in Washington
on October 6:
Answering your request through
Samuel Gompers, president of the

the date of the strike in the steel in
dustry Of this country be postponed
from September 22 next, the date here
tofore fixed. until after a conference
cslled by you to meet in Washington
on October 8 next we respectfully
make the following report:
For years there has been great un-
rest among the steel workers of our
country because of the unusual. un-
American and despotic industrial con-
ditions. Finding no redress in indi-
vidual efforts the men naturally
sought, by the example of other work.
ers through their organizations, to
associate themselves for collective de-
fence. Oppression growing beyond en-
durance, the call for assistance to re-
dress grievances came from every
quarter Of the industry to the st. Paul
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, held in June, 1918. A
committee consisting of representa-
tives of the crafts engaged in this in
dustry were ordered to and did make
investigation. They found the field
overripe for organization. The enrol
ment of membership grew by leaps
and bounds. Relief from their oppres-
sion was imminent, and yet out of
patriotic consideration to our cause
they endu ed the continued suffering
without cessation of their labors to
the end that despotlsm abroad might
not gain thereby aid and comfort.
Men Demanded Action.
Immediately after the armistice was
declared, the men insisted upon having
their wrongs righted. They were per-
suaded, however, to wait until the
Atlantic City convention Of the American
Federal on Of Labor, held in June, 1919
Following a report made to that conven-
tion, Mr.. Gompers sought a conference
with Mr.. Gary. chairman OF the finance
committee of the United States Steel
Corporation, on that subject in the hope
OF avoiding a grave Industrial conflict.
Mr.. Gompers, whose constructive
patriotism is beyond any question was
denied even the courtesy OF a reply.
Then the man insisted upon action, and
following authorization for taking a vote
upon strike, beginning with July 20
and ending August 20 this year, 9S
per cent OF the men voted for strike.
Following the vote taken a committee
representing the crafts involved went to

strike. Mr. Gary refused to see the
