As m addition to the uncer- tainty prevailing with regard to whether Germany will sign the peace treaty, has come a crisis in the Italian government to perplex the peace conference.
 Failing to secure vote of con- fidence in the chamber of deputies in Rome on a demand by Premier Orlando that the chaIeber in secret session listen to the governments explanations of it's foreign policy, the Italian cabinet followed prece- dent in parliamentary affairs and forthwith resigned.
 This action may possibly still further compiicate the work of the peace conference, especially in strafghtening out the tangle that long has existed as regards Italy's claim to Plume and the Dalma- tian costal region.
 The vote of lack of confidence in the government was m over- whelming one. being 259 to a. Prior to the vote the premier. in a statement to the chamber. had an- nounced that the various economic and financial questions concerning Italy had been solved or were about to be solved.

Furry of Party Feeling Results When Williams Charges Repubs With
 Stacking" Committee
 Against the League
By Associated Press

Washington, June 19.-De- bate on the league of nations shifted to political ground again today in the Senate with a resulting furry of party feel ing which ended in an admoni- ton by the chair that Senate rules must be observed.
 The flare-up started when Senator Williams of Mississippi. democratic tee, charged that the republicans had stacked the committee against the league. Senator Moses of New Hamp- shire, a republican member, made spirited denial and Senator Mccormick. republican of illinois, declared the Paris peace mission had been stacked with democrats
 Other senators quickly got into the dis cussion and still others were asking recognition when Vice President Marshall called a halt ruling that the discus sion, which had interrupted a speech by Senator Thomas, democrat, of Colorado, was out of order. The Colorado senator then resumed his address. directed against the Knox resolution by which the Senate would ask an opportunity to accept the peace treaty without the league of nations covenant incorporated, Senator Williams charge followed one by Senator Thomas that the republicans first had put the league into politics by the celebrated round robin of the last session and now was condemning demo- cratic support of the league as partisan. Mr. Thomas is one of the democratic supporters who have no definite stand regarding the league, but in his speech today he read many extracts from his torical workers to show that in the past beneficial proposals had met the same arguments as now confront the league covenant
 OvERSTEPS POWER The Knox resolution he opposed as i'm proper, in that it would overstep thu power of the Senate in treaty making and would be interpreted as presump. | tive effort to dictate to the peace con ference In entering the plea that poo. ple should have more time to consider the league proposals, he asserted thers already had been wide discussion of the subject for several years.

as to acceptance.
 The Chamber of Deputies had, by n vote of 2o3 to 7s, rejected Premier Orlandos motion in favor of discuss ing the question of confidence, which related to the foreign policy of the government, in secret session.
 Prior to the vote, Premier Orlando, in addressing the Chamber, said;
 aItaly's peace with Germany and Austria has been solved in n manner with which, on the whole, feel satis- fled"
 session, the premier declared that the government needed greater confidence and would treat his motion for n secret session n question of confi- dence.
 The socialists immediately opposed this.
 Signor Orlando, in his address, said Itaiy's position had been considerably aggrevated by international events during the second fortnight of April. He referred to President Wilson's mcs- sage regarding the Adriatic question.
 POLICY AT CONFERENCE
 The Italian delegation at the peace conference, the premier added. had followed this policys
 "First: Maintain with firmncss
 all the essential points of the
 Italian claims, without which Italy
 is convinced peace will be neither
 just adequate to the immense
 sacrifices suffered.
 "Second: Remain faithful in
 your duties toward the allies.
 tsThird, Avoid any blind form
 of obstinate intransigeanee. In-
 deed, facilitate conciliatory sug-
 gestions capable of producing ac-
 cord in the conference over the
 problems concerning Italian from
 tiers."
 Signor Orlando urged Parliament to separate the discussion of foreign af- fairs from the internal policy of the country, the latter being virtually ab- sorbed in the grave question of the high cost of living Past history showed he said, that internal pei turbations were transitory and that equilibrium soon would be regained.
 The government, the premier mani tained, was bound to protect consunl- CTS against the cNr idity of speculation, whick had assumed almost the form of folly
 The government intended to sup press to the utmost possible the ma- chinations of the middleman and aid in bringing about cooperation amons. consumers Having complete control of bread, fice cereals, sugar and petroleum. he added, the government would sell them at low fixed prices. Meat would be imported. he said, and distributed at cost without profit and without tax. In summing up the sitd- ation, Signor Orlando said
 "The deep unrest throughout ths world leads to pessimism such as was never experienced during the war. Immediately after the armistice was signed the peoples in general, Italy in particular, never went through such dark days as now. This is the most acute phase of the immense crisis arising from the war Nevertheless. I am not discouraged, believing, as I do, that the situation gradually will ameliorate."

BROAD PROGRAMME ADOPTED AS [AbORS RECONSTRUCTION
 RECOMMENDATION
Both Radicals and Conserv. atives Unite in Approving Y sNew Declaration of In-
 dependence" for Work
 CTS of America
sy a...s,.r.s rrs..

Atlantic City, June 19--A comprehensive reconstruction program, designed to "bring to all people greater hope for a better day, a greater life, great CT liberty and a larger degree of happiness was adopted by the American Federation of Labor at today's session of it's annual convention.
 Radicals and conservatives united in approving . report embodying reconstruc- tive recommendations devised by the fed eration's executive council. The report tonight was termed by labor leaders "a new declaration of independence for the workers of America
 Developments in our social, industrial and political relations, by reason of the necessities of war, have been as varied in nature as they have been grave in char acter." said the report.
 "One of the most pronounced and far reaching results in the realization of workers rights, duties and responsibili- ties in the structure of society, industry and government.
 Conscious as never heretofore of it's power, labor no longer will rest content under system which treats workers as a commodity or article of commerce. Workers have reached the status and have come to that determination which demands treatment of equality with all other men and women in modern society. They now insist on full value and full for services rendered on basis that will enable all to enjoy the higher things in life, rather than merely exist near the line beyond which we find human misery, which spells human bankruptcy.
 The great value of the report on recon struction, which received the unanimous approval of the executive council lies in it's compilation in consecutive order ot the fundamentally important and urgent subjects and relations to which organized labor must apply itself diligently and unswervingiy if the workers are to make permanent progress and gain in the strug- gle between democracy and autocracy in industrial life
 PRINCIPAL RECOMMENDATION
 '"rhe reconstruction programme in brief recommends remedies against unemploy- ment: demands adequate vases: declares labor's right to fix it's own working hours: demands protection of women and children in industry; favors cooperative institutes of farmers and producing agencies; fayors curbing the power of the courts to make and unmake laws: favors full participation of labor in politics. but disapproval of partisan politics; favors public extension of waterways and public ownership and development of water power; urges a minimum of land tenan-
