Trying to Settle.
Rome, Sept. 9-Efforts continue
to bring about a solution of the sit
uation which has arisen throughout
Italy a result of the movement
among metal workers to occupy
plants in many of the most import
ant Industrial centers. The govern
ment has been called upon to inter
vene but so far has been neutral.
Reports indicate that quiet prevails
at all affected centers and that en-
gineers, foremen and clerical staffs
employed at occupied plants still re-
fuse to join the workers.
1t is declared the majority of the
metal workers are controlled by ex-
treme Socialists who are desirous of
giving the movement a political char
acter, but responsible leaders of the
party are said to discourage such a
policy. At many places the workers
have announced they are ready to
convert themselves into cooperative
societies which will undertake the
direct management of works that
have been occupied, pay rent which
would be fixed by arbitration, and
depositing of the necessary. guaran-
tees.
In many plants a serious situa-
| tion has arisen because of the fact
| that the workers have armed them
| selves. At one plant, however, the
| supposed machine guns turned out to
| be wooden weapons which had been
| camouf1aged.

Lutheran Drive.

At the present time nationwide
financial campaign is carried on among
Lutherans in America. The purpose of
this drive is to relieve the physical and
spiritual misery in Europe, especially
among those of our own faith. Con-
corning this DR.. III. G. Stub, president
of our church, says: Terrible beyond
description are the conditions in Euro
pean countries affected by the war.
The reports of our own commissioners
agree with those of all reliable investi-
cations. Thousands, yea, millions are
diseased or starving. Neutral countries
have done their best in spite of pro-
hibitive costs. Thousands of children
have been sent to Scandinavia where
they have been fed and clothed. Luth-
eran institutions in Germany and Aus
tria would have been forced to. close
and the children turned into the streets
if it had not been for aid from the Ma
tional Lutheran council"
1t is hoped that within few days
every family belonging to our congre-
cation will be given an opportunity to
contribute to this cause.
