NittiCabinet Quits
After Adverse Vote
Resignation Result OF Bal
lot in Which Popular
Party Aids Socialists

ROME, May II (By The Associated
Press s).-The Ministry, of which Pre-
mier Nitti was the head, has resigned
Its action was in consequence of an
adverse vote taken in the Chamber of
Deputies to-day.
The decision to resign came when the
chamber adopted by vote of 1913 to
112 a motion by the Socialists regard
ing posts and telegraphs. Sgnor Nitti
called for rejection of the motion
and demanded that the balloting be
considered a vote Of confidence in the
Ministry. The popular party voted with
the Socialists.
The Italian Cabinet, of which Fran
cesco Nitti was Premier and Minister
of Interior. was formed March 10, 1920.
Signor Nitti however, was head Ct the
Cabinet from June, 1919 succeeding
Vittorio Orlando.
Premier Nitt has been the object of
innumerable bitter attacks in the past
year and on the eve of the reopening
of the Chamber of Deputies early in
May there were animated discussions
among the Deputies of all groups as to
the attitude to be taken toward the
Ministry. The Catholics rese nted the
policy Of the government toward the
Socialists, as Excessively mild" but it
was recognized generally that Signor
Nitti and his ministers faced an excep-
tional period Of unrest, particularly on
the part of labor.
