By Asseeiatsd Press

London, September 26.-The govern
 ment tonight was mnrshaling all the
 facilities at it's dispoaal with the
 nvevved intention of fighting to . bit- ter finish a country-wide strike of l railwaymen which was due to begin at midnisht as result of the refusal of the national union of railvva ymen to accent the governmenfs propos.ls regarding the fixing of . permanent rate of wages basis for further negotiations. e
 From an authoritative source it was learled tonight that the government intends to use it's every resource, even to the employment of armed forces if necessary, to combat what was char acter:zed as "heinous offense' and a 'stIike against the life of the com munity.e
 Already preparations have been made to continue the transport of ne- cessities by motor cars; the war of- flee has suspended all leaves of ab- sence and further consolidation of the military forces and the food min- ister has revived virtually all the war measures regarding he rationing Of food The decision of the national union of railwaymen to strike came at the
 
 final conference this morning between the union leaders and the cabinet. which had resulted in deadlock. The only official pronouncement since then has been a brief statement that the negotiations had failed and that the strike would take place.
 J. H. Thomas. on behalf of tAe rail- way men. issued short statement expressing regret over the outcome and declared that disorders and the destruction of property would not be countenanced by the union. Late today the cabinet met to coE- sider the strike. and it is significa nt of the gravity of tne situation that Field Marshal Haig and General Fifid- ing, military commander of fhe Lon don district. were summoned for a consultation

 The President does not insist, according to the press, upon pebiscite in the buff fer state at the end of 15 years. as at first proposed, and he consents to the rectification of the eastern frontier of lstria in favor of Italy, in the district of Albona.
 Foreign Minister Tittoni is expected to make declaration before the cham ber of deputies tomorrow of the govern ment's policy regarding the occupation of Fiume by Gabrielle Dannunzio ana his irregular troops
 Two resolutions have been introduced In the chamber, one providing for the annexation of Plume without awaiting the decision of the peace conference and the other affirming the right of Italy to guarantee Italian nationality in Fiume
 The Messaggero says that if the cham Der gives Premier Nitti a vote of confi- dence the chamber of deputies will be dissolved and elections held in Novem- ber
 Tt would be difficult to find a graver period than this in the whole history of modern Italy" says Foreign Minister Tittoni today in alluding to the situation here.
 
 As matter of fact, alarrnist reports of all sorts are in free circulation One report has it that King Victor Emmanuel may abdicate, and another that civil war is imminent betweerh the nationalist and militarist factions. on the one side, and the forces controlled by the official so- cialists on the other.
 In these reports the nationalistic ad- herents are represented as having de- cided to push to the utmost limits the aspirations of Italy, while their oppo- nents arc declared to be determined to oppose by all means even by revolution, another foreign war.

ORAToRICAL FLOOD STARTS

Senator Williams, democrat of Miss issippi, coming late into the chamber, asked permission to put into the record certain documents sent to shim from California concerning Senator John sons fight against the league of na- tions. Senator Williams had just re- marked that Senator Johnson was re- turning to California to continue his attack on the President and to look after his political fences, when the latter walked down the aisle, with fire in his eye.
 That spread the flood gates of ora tory, and the Senate never got down to it's reading. Vice President Marshall announced however, that the business before the Senate was the Fall amend ments. which would come up automa- tically every day at ? o'clock or earlier. and while he did not expect the debate to deal solely with this matter, the amendments would remain the order of business until disposed of finally.
 Senator Johnson. who started tonight for California, pleaded for adoption of his amendment to the league covenant which would give the United states the same voting power as Great Britain.

 Flows Unchecked
 in Senate
sy Assselat.d Prs.

Washington, September 2e.-The Ger man peace treaty got nearly six hours of speeding up in the Senate today, but without reaching the Fall amend ment which had been made the special order of business by a strict party vote earlier in the week.
 Chairman Lodge of the foreign re- lations committee called up the paot two hours ahead of the regular sched- ule, and from that time until adjourn ment it was discussed continuously, with a big crowd looking on from the galleries and afraid to cheer because of warnings from guards with orders to eject those who made noise with hands or feet.
 Just before the discussion started with an address by Senator Cummins, republican of Iowa, attacking the league of nations covenant, republicans and democrats alike had heard reports that the President. on his way home from his western speaking trip would be- advised Monday perhaps. by some democratic leaders that there was no hope of ratifying the treaty without reservation
 There was no reference however. in in the long debate. to the Presidents cancellation of the rest of his speak ing programme.
 After a colloquoy between Senator Hitchcock. of Nebraska in charge of the administration forces, and Senator Lodge concerning method of procedure relating to the Fall amendments, which would exempt the United States from representation on foreign commissions created under the treaty, reading of that part of the printed text taking in the last of the 42 amendments was ordered.
 But the reading never started. Sena- tor Hitchcock had contended that the agreement was to vote on amendments today, but calling for the record Sena- or>>Lodge and others showed only con- sideration was to begin today and in order to save time 1t vas further agreed to get through with the reading be- fore opening the debate.
