Prices Forcib|y
 Reduced in Italy
Result of Recent Riots in Gen. tral Italy, Chambers of Labor" Are Active.

Rome. Friday, July 4.-(By The A. p Riots against the high cost of liv- ing in central Italy have resulted in forcibly reducing prices. according to reports received here from the many places where disorders have occurred.
 In nearly all the cities affected the mobs have become organizations rec ognized in a measure by the authori- ties with whom they have often work ed in accord in the common struggle against speculators. These specula- tors have been called by the crowds "starvers of people"
 Representatives of these organiza- tions, termed chambers of labor" may be seen hurrying along the straight, flat, dusty. Emilia road which runs from Ancona to Bologna through the affected Romagna district. These representatives are distinguishable by the red or black ties and red or black arm bands, according to whether they are republicans or socialists. They rush from town to town and from village to village bearing orders and giving instructions for carriages, carts and automobiles to be used for the transportation of food and other goods.
 Many of those wi}o attempted to. re- sist their orders have been badly treated. Through these energetic measures, the chambers of labor" have succeeded in gaining control of much of the region.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
 RIOTS RENEWED IN ITALY

Florence, Italy, Saturday. July , (By the A. Po-One person was killed and seven were injured la today in a re- newa1 of yesterdays rioting over the high cost of living. There has been much firing by the caribineers detailed to keep order. Mobs again have be- come violent and the ransacking of shops has been resumed. All workers are idle under a general strike order. During the day goods of all kind have been distributed to people under the supervision of the mayor and the military command. The distribution was conducted at each store separate ly. Large crowds congregated at each place so as to be sure to receive the benefits of the new prices decreed at 10 o'clock this morning by the mayor All commodities have been reduced from 30 to 70 per cent.
 Lack of organization in opening the various shops where goods were requi- sitioned resulted in crowds gathering at many points in tho city where there seemed to be chance to obtain food. The plan followed was for the may ors commission to open the store, sell everything in it at the new prices, then close it and open another store. The crowds following from store to store caused great confusion. k During these municipality conducted sales. however there was no violence. .Scores of soldiers were needed to avoid too great confusion by the eager peo- pie. There were no hostile demon : strations during. the early part of the day as there were yesterday.
 The new scale of prices put wine, which is considered a necessity of life in Italy. at 15 cents quart and bread at six cents a pound. Butter, sugar. meat and oil prices were reduced one- half by the mayors decree. Other commodities, considered as necessaries, were ordered sold at TO per cent. re- duction beginning this afternoon.
 The most active buying was in the historic Medici Chapel quarter. where the new market house is located.

the support of The League of Nations came to me in the mail this morning In order that you may appreciate my position as a humble citizen of the United States. I want to tell you that ever since the campaign for such 8 league was originated some five or six years ago I have done all in my power to oppose it. An experience gained by a residence of three years in Europe from 1897 to 1900, makes it psychologically and morally im- possible for me to support such an organization. Since the matter came up for debate in the United States senate, have given all the moral support in my power 10 Senators Knox, Brandegee, and Borah, begging them to preserve for me and every citizen of the United States the only country on the face of the earth fit for me to live in and die in. I want no supercountry and I want no al- liance between the United States and any other country in the world, be it France, England. Ireland. Germany, Italy, Greece, Russia, Poland, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey. China or Japan.
 You ask me to sign a letter to the effect that the soldiers and sailors re- turned from the world war, support sailor whom you can find in the state of Connecticut ready to subscribe to such a league, I am willing to go out and beg or borrow a dollar for a fund
 
 error that would induce them to de- liver themselves and their country to the slavery of European intrigue, which is now more insidious and mora persistent in it's selfish designs to swallow the United States than at any time in history. You are asking me to deprive my country of the place of honor which she has attained as model and arbiter in the disputes of other nations and manacle her to vicious circle of political eXpediencieS, after she has acquired glory and in- dependence by her unswerving adher- ence to principle.
 As a clergyman of my church I am not permitted to publicly voice my personal views on any topic primarily political. This matter. however, has assumed for me he character of a deeply ethical problem concerning 11o,000,0oo of my fellow citizens and were it possible. I -should-consecrate myself to the task of speaking on every street corner from Portland, Maine, to Los Aneles. Cal, to pro- claim my convictions as to the dan- gers of such a league. You are the way expressed himself as favorable to such a league, and I am at a loss to know what ground you can find for considering the question of the republican party IS partisan. I con slider the opposition American as oD- posed to a new spirit of international alism. Please read the message of President Wilson to his fellow citi- zens on Memorial Day and on other occasions an dtell me whether you ''America" or American" Can you find sentiment or a principle that is American in anything that he has said or done since he went into office (continued on Page Two, Col FiVo)
