Italian Situation Used

Paris, Sept 30-The inflamed con-
djtions in the Adriatic region anG
the dissolution of the Italian parla.
ment for the holding of a general
election on November l6, as Rome
dispatches announced yesterday, is
giving the supreme council much
concern, in view of the possibility Of
all the Balkans becoming involved
in the turmoil.
In peace conference circles the APP
preaching Italian elections are re
garded as struggle between the war
and peace parties, or rather between
the forces on the military side and
those of socialistic and pacific ten
denotes. While it appears that
d AnnunZio and Fiume will be chief
ly the issue, the feeling is growing
in Paris that as D'Annunzio has in
dieated that his aspirations include
far more than Fiume. The Italian
situation is daily becoming more of
an international question. In view of
the conditions the opinion is express
ed here that the agitation might
flame into war any day if, for in,
stance a Jugo-Slav should happen to
be killed by Italian troops.

COUNCIL To ACT
ON LABOR CASES
BEING PL. AIMED
Such Body VIII BE Subject Be-
fore Wilson'S Economic
Conference.

Washington, Sept 30-Proposals
for the establishment of council for
settlement of industrial disputes, re-
placing the recently dissolved war la
Dor board probably will be one Of
the first subjects brought up for dis
cussion at the labor and industrial
conference called by President Will
son to meet here Monday, it was
learned today from department of la
Dor officials.
Secretary Wilson has drawn up
tentative program for the conference
but the question of whether the meet
ing will be open to representatives of
the press has not been decidd. 1t was
said today by those making arrange
ments for the meeting the question
of publicity probably would be left
to decision of the conference A sug-
9estion has been made that newspaper
ence room but that such parts Of the
to make public be given to the press
as the conference proceeds. This
plan would be similar to the recent
White House conference between the
president and the senate foreign rela-
President Wilson is unable to open
the conference as planned, it is not
known by officials here who the pre-
siding officer will be, although it
was considered likely that the presi-
dent would designate some one to act
for him. Secretary Wilson, to whom
the president left the detailed ar
rangements for the meeting when he
left on his speaking trip, it was said
today, prefers not to act as presid-
ing officer but rather to take part in
the discussions as member of the
conference.
Secretary Wilson, it was said by
several officials, may submit a pro-
posal for arbitration boards, as he
is known to look with favor on plan
providing for district boards of ar
bitration, the awards Of which would
be put in force by the issue of an
injunction by the federal court of the
district restraining employees who are
parties to the dispute in question
from paying wages other than pro-
vided for in the award.
This plan would preserve the right
of the men to strike, but is expected
to take away the incentive to strike,
as employers would be restrained by
a court decree from paying higher
wages than the sum fixed as just
! by the district boards.
Some means of removing causes of
dispute and of comforting larger de-
gree of participation by labor in the
management of industry along the
lines of the Whitley councils in Eng
land, probably will be discussed, it
was said. Whitley councils, SO called
after the Scotch manufacturer and a
member of British ministry of re-
construction committee who pro-
posed them, have been established ir

dustries. There is a separate joint
standing industrial council, as they
are officially named, for each in

ton to the national council, distric
and local boards are created to handle
problems arising within their juris-
diction. A

Desha Negro, Sent j
TO Chair, Receives
21-Year Sentence

Little Rock, Sept. 3O.-Governor
Brough yesterday committed the SEN
tence of Oliver Hervey, a negro con-
victed of murder in first degree in the
September term 1919, Of the Desha
Circuit court, and sentenced to be
electrocuted, to 81 years in the state
penitentiary. The foreman and every
member of the trial jury, save one,
who could not be seen, and a number
of representative citizens of Desha
county represented to the governor
that the sentence was entirely too
severe, in as much as Robert McFad-
den, the negro who Hervey killed had
shot and attempted to kill Hervey
about two weeks prior to the time
Hervey killed him, and had made
numerous threats against Hervey's
life Hervey is 60 years old and the
governor believed that it was an act
of justice as well as mercy to COM
mute this sentence to 81 years.

VOTE ON FALL.
Amendment MAY
COME ANY T|M|E:
New Mexico Senator Flags Gov
enant; Edge Asks That Ac-
ton Be Hastened.

Washington, Sept. Bottle Ger
man peace treaty got a three hour
speeding up in the senate today, all
but 80 minutes of which was an ad-
dress by Senator Fall, republican. Of
New Mexico, attacking the league of
nations covenant and pleading for
adoption of his SO amendments which
would keep the United States free
from representation or FOREIGN COM
missions, created by the pact
The rest of the treaty program was
an address by Senator Edge, repub-
lican, Of New Jersey in which he
urged republicans ID democrats
alike to hasten it's consideration so
that congress might devote its time
and attention to pressing problems at
home.
Earlier in the session the treaty
and covenant came in for considerable
discussion, however, while the senate
was debating a resolution requesting
President Wilson to transmit a report
of the landing of American sailors at
Trau, after Italian forces had taken
possession of the fort. While not OPP
posing the resolution, Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, leading the ad-
ministration's fight for ratification
Of the treaty, charged that it is mere
ly a part of an attempt by repub-
licans to filibuster, which Republican
Leader Lodge denied.
But throughout the whole Dalma-
tian debate, the treaty bobbed up con-
tinually, bringing later from Senator
Fall, the prediction that Italy would
not dare approve "the Wilson settle
ment of Fiume" in the face Of certain
revolution.
There was flutter of excitement
today with the suggestion from high
republican sources that the vote on
the Fall amendments might be taken
during the afternoon. But there was
little hope Of so early decision,
judging by the small attendance on
the floor. so small, indeed, when Sen
ator Fall began speaking, that pro-
,ceedlngs were halted by demand for
quorum call.
The report as to a vote, however,
indicated the rather uncertain situa-
ton affecting the treaty from day to
day. Although number Of senator's
will make set speeches this week, none
on the list has announced that ne
would discuss the Fall amendments:
and after the exhaustive address OF
the senator from New Mexico 1T
would not be surprising to see de-
mand for a vote on them at any time
1t is the plan to vote on all OF them
at one time and democratic leaders
declared tonight there was absolutely
no chance of their adoption.

Senate Wants Report.

Washington. Sept. 30.-After fur
Their sharp criticism by republicans of
the senate and house today of the
landing American sailors at Trau, af-
ter Italian forces had taken possess
ion of the port, the senate adopted
a resolution by Senator New. repub-
lican, Indiana, requesting President
Wilson to transmit report of the in
cident to the senate.
Although not opposed by the demo-
Gratis, the resolution caused a lively
row in which Senator Hitchcock,
democrat, Nebraska, charged the re-
publicans with "heckline" President
Wilson and also with deliberately fill
clustering to delay action on the
peace treaty.
Republican Leader Lodge denied
there had been S,nv filibustering on
the treaty, and Slid there would be
none.
The landing of the Americans at
Trau was discussed in the house by
Representative Campbell, republican,
Kansas, who said the people chad a
right at this time to have word of
explanation from the president as to
the use of arms for interference ir
an allied country"
"There is no objection to the resolu-
tion," said Mr.. Hitchcock, "but it is
rather discreditable to the senate to
be forever prodding and annoying the
administration while it is doing the
best it can under Serious circum-
stances.
Senators New of Indiana, and Knox
republican, Pennsylvania, insisted
that the senate and the American
neople were entitled to know the
facts regarding the use of Ameri-
can forces in Dalmatia.
Senator Hitchcock reiterated that
the American troops were landed
under orders of the sunreme council
at Paris to prevent "lawless out
