ROME, September Recommending
on the publication in Berlin of
charges by Nikolai Lenin. premier of
bolshevik Russia. that leaders of Ital-
proletariat," the Giornaie d'Itaiia
says:
German reactionaries who wish to
restore the monarchy in Germany and
obtain revenge over their recent enc
mics by disintegrating countries Of
western Europe through revolution.
The highest positions in the bolshevik
army and the soviet administration
are in the hands of Germans, who
| camouhaged as communists, try to
sow the poison of hatred and internal
| dissolution in western countries. This
! is the reason why Lenin is particu-
| lafly ferOeieus against these Italian
| socialist leaders, who were unwilling
J to drag their country to ruin, as
| was planned by Lenin's inspirers in
| Berlin"
Conditions in Italy uncertain.
Social and industrial conditions in
| Italy might be compared to those found
mors continue for considerable time
! The great shock Of the metal work
ers' movement is passed, but the set
| Element will require days, and perhaps
| be necessary. and employers and
| workmen must reach a series of com.
| promises which will render possible
! the satisfactory cooperation of the
two elements under a new system,
! which is at present still in it's theo-
retic stages.
No one can predict how the new
plan will work in practice, and doubts
will not be dispelled for some time, as
1t will not be introduced Immediately
in it's entirety, but must be delayed
until joint committees Of employees
and workmen have studied the, prob |
lem. Their conclusions will be pre-
scented to the government, which, in !
turn. will submit them to the SUI
p peri. &c, council Of labor. After this
the subject, the government will pro-
coed to embody the new system in a bill |
which the chamber of deputies prob |
ably will discuss in conjunction with
drafted by Catholics and socialists i

principle of participation by work

May Halt U. s. Coal.
LEGHORN. Italy, September 29-t
Alarm is felt here over the prospect |
that American shipments of coal to /
italy will be stopped. Newspapers /
Of this city publish telegram receiv- /
ed by an agent of an American firm |!
which says: Owing to the revoIu- /
tionary movement in Italy, we have |
ceased sending coal and are caneeling 4
former orders, the stability of Italian !:
money being uncertain"
Commenting on the subject the i
Tempo of Rome says this is "a mere |!
episode in the campaign of systemat- 4
ic defamation of Italy which is ec-
curing abroad" It recalls Premier
Giolittrs ADVICE to Italian diplomats i
in foreign countries, urging them to 1
enlighten public opinion on the true H
political situation in Italy and the II
real meaning of recent economic con- Il
flicts. So
Newspaper dispatches state the
capture of several steamers by the
Federation of Seamen has had>as dfsas-
trous consequence, as Italian export 4
ers have decided not to trust their
cargoes to Italian ships. Switzer-
land, which formerly used Genoa in Il
its commerce with America, has can
celed contracts amounting to 1,cn0 900
francs. and is sending it's go0us to Il
the United States by the way of Mar
