could not have approved. But the
of it as an utterance on
the very threshold of the Ohio SEN
ator's home, and its resemblance to
statements made by Gov. Cox, the
democratic nominee, is simply that

ton taken by either of the candidates

the same goal for the simple reason
that each would be confronted by the
same set of facts and circumstance
Il earnestly favor the league of ma
tions." says Mr.. Wickersham. without
referring indefinitely to "a league of
nations. Il recognize the imperfec
tons of the Paris covenant. Yet I
should have been satisfied to see it
ratified as written, believing that the
power Of amendment was ample to
enable it to be nodded as national
interests might make necessary. Sen
ator Harding does not wholly and fin
ally reject the league. He recognizes
that 1t may have become so entwined
and interviewer in the peace of Eu-
rope that it's good work and it's I'M
Objectionable provisions must be pre-
served in order to stabilize the peace

Mr. WickerSham represents Senator
Harding as unQuestionably inclined
to adopt the" league of nations when
he is elected. even though it may have
to be modified to remove all just
doubts as to it's undue affect upon
American rights and interests"
which, in nutshell, is the Taft posi-
ton, the Hoover position, and now
the posi- ton, too, of Gov. Cox.
Somebody will have analysed Mr.
Harding's views incorrectly by the
time election time has come, and this
correspondent predicts that Senator
johnson will find his Interpretation
of the treaty and league different
from that held by Senator Harding.

ing most uncomfortable time in this
campaign, and friends of both are won
dering which shall have proved accurate
in Analysing the mind of Senator Hard
ing. or President Harding. as the
case may be after next November.
Hiram johnson is the one and Herbert
Hoover is the other. Mr.. johnson is op-
posed to the league of nations, and is
convinced by a reading of the Harding
speeches that the Ohio senator, il elect
ed. will reject the whole league bust
ness, while Mr.. Hoover is satisfied that
Mr.. Harding will approximate the posi-
ton which republicans like Taft, Hughes
and Wickersham have expressed as their
understanding of Senator Harding's in
nermost thoughts.

William Jennings Bryan. is going to

Meanwhile. the friends of Johnson
were elated by Senator Harding's
speech of August %, and now they
are correspondingly dismayed by the
statement issued at Marion by George

That statement was read and ap-
proved by Senator Harding before
being issued through the stenographic
corps of Harding headquarters; if not

sued from the front porch that has

But the tendency at Marion has
been to win the friends of the treaty
and league, and the writer pointed out
at the time Charles Evans Hughes
went to see Senator Harding that the
republican nominee was leaning to-
ward the Taft-Hughes- Wickersham-
Hoover wing of the party, and more
and more away from Johnson, whose
cause he had espoused in earlier
speeches.
Moreover, Mr.. Wickersham confirms
clearly view of Senator Harding
position on the treaty which this cor
respondent found on his own visit to
Marion in July. namely. as Mr.. Wick

ROME. September (Havas).-The
employers in metal factories which
have been seized by workmen in the
present contest over conditions in this
industry have been given five days
in which to comply with the working
LUTON adopted by the socialist MEM
bers of the General Confederation of
Labor.
Should the employers fail to yield
rapid movement toward general
naturalization is threatened. So far
the manufacturers are perSisting in
their decision not to enter into direct
negotiations with the workers before
the latter evacuate the factories.
Government officials will open nego-
tiations with the general industrial
conference at Milan on Thursday with
a view to solving the problem pre-
scented by the seizure by workers of
metal factories throughout Italy. The
socialist group in the Italian parlia-
ment will hold a meeting with the
governing committee of the General
workers Confederation on Friday,
and it is expected that at this gath
ering policy will be adopted by the
workers relative to the present anom-
alous condition of Italian industry.
1t is estimated that 400 of the
largest metal works in Italy have been
occupied by mechanics and workers.
and the movement is still expanding,
threatening to extend to the extreme
southern end of the peninsula. Elab-
crate steps have been taken by the
government to preserve order during
the period when a general offensive
against all industries is threatened
Employers Cannot Stand Increase.
Manufacturers declare that the wage
increase demanded by the 5000 met
al workers employed by them would
add at least a billion lire to their
pay roll. and that this burden could
not be sustained. They point out that
Italy pays eighteen times the pre-
war price for coal, while England
pays only three times America only
three and half. France six, and even
Germany only eleven. As result. for
eign production is replacing Italian.
Wrought steel manufactured in
France is selling in this country at
a lower price than the Italian prod

The members of the ministry will
go to Milan. and it is hoped the gen.
eral industrial conference will take
early action on their suggestions. II
this action should be favorable il

be unfavorable it is impossible to
