tion, an organization that everyone|
in Barre may be a member Of. II was|
incorporated by Barre merchants andI
other business men who are Interested

complished than by athletic teams OF
all kinds. By purchasing a single share

wheel Of progress for both the city and
the Young athletes of the town.
The six teams halted this noon Just
long enough for lunch and were back
on the job this afternoon coveringI
their specified districts. They hope 60

WORKDlEN IN ITALY
THREATEN SEIZURE
Would Take Over Industrial Plants in
Some Industrial Centers--Gov-
eminent Thus Far Has Not
Interfered.

Rome, Sept. 9.-Efforts continue to
bring about a solution of the situa
tion which has arisen throughout italy
as result of the movement among
metal workers to occupy plants in
many of the most important industrial
centers The government has been
called upon TO intervene but so far has
been neutral.
Reports received here indicate that
quiet prevails at all affected centers,
and that engineers, foremen and cleri-
cal stats employed at occupied plants
still refuse to join the workers. The
fact that delegates from workmen's
and employers organizations are in
communication with each other is
looked upon as being favorable to an
adjustment of the situation.
II is declared the majority OF the
metal workers are controlled by ex-
treme socialists, who are desirous of
giving the movement a. political char
scter, but responsible leaders of the
party are said to discourage such pol
icy. AT many places the workers have
announced they are ready to convert
themselves into cooperative societies
which would undertake the direct man
agement of works that have been occu.
pied. pay rent which would be fixed by
arbitration and deposit the necessary
guarantees.
When he returned from his confer
ence with Premier LLOYD George at Lu-
eerne, Premier Giolitti issued a state
ment referring to recent agreemnts
between European socialists and Niko-
lai Lenine, Russia bolshevik premier"
and forecast those agreements might
be forerunners of active revolutionary
attempts which would soon occur in
Italy, There is every indication the
present movement was prepared delib-
erately and Systematically, and that
efforts were made to involve other
trades besides metal workers. The
typical caution of the Italian peasants.
however, made ii difficult to set any
extended revolt in motion, il is as
serted.
In one plant, which has been taken
over. workers have come into posses
sion of $500 quintals of grain and de.
clared they would supply themselves
with bread in the event that bakers re-
fused to supply them. In many plants
a serious situation has arisen because
of the fact that the workers have
armed themselves. At Sesto Giovanni.
however, the supposed machine guns
mounted at plant turned out to be
wooden weapons.

county officers and congressman in
Maine on Monday next. when the two
great parties win have their first test

waged on national issues. and to the
league Of nations in reference 10 which
the candidates have adopted positions
similar TO that taken by their ma

Mean Partial Abandonment of

On board Sen. Harding's special
train, Sept. 9.-On his way home from
his first campaign trip, Ssn. Harding,

declared himself highly pleased to day
with his reception by the people of
Minneapolis, who cheered his speech at
the state fair yesterday on agricultural
issues and greeted him in tumultuous
fashion when he rode through the
streets of Minneapolis and st. Paul
What the result might be on the flu
ture plans of the nominee is not re-
vealed, but speculation as to the posi-
bility of more extensive departures
from the front porch was enlivened by
expressions of satisfaction from two
Of the principal figures in management

AUTO KING" GOES AFoOT
Because Italian Populace Attack Him
Every Time He Tries to Ride.

Milan, Italy, Sept. 9.---One hundred
labor chambers and 50 federations of
trades, representing 2,500.000 workmen,
will be presented at the meeting of the
general conferation of labor, which will
convene here on Friday 10 decide on
the policy to be pursued by the confed-
Grafton relative to the labor situation
in Italy.
The railwsymen's union. the fedora
tion of seamen, the federation of port
laborers, the federation OF postal and
telegrsphic employees and associations
of civil servants, also will be repre-
sented.
Many strange incidents have oc-
CURED here since the inception of the
movement by workmen to Occupy fac
tories. Signor Agnepi, known as the
king of automobile makers" has been
compelled to go about the city on foot,
as workers have attacked his motor,
whenever il has appeared. Signor Bsu-
tieri, who owns one Of the largest fac
tories in this city, found on leaving his
Office that two Of his workmen were oc-
cupying his automobile.
"Shall we take you homei" they in
quired politely.
NO thanks, replied Signor Bautieri,
dofing his hat II am waiting for
street car, and have motored so long
that il is quite right you should take
turn"
The Milanese section Of the reform
ist socialist party, while deploring the
consequences to the economics condi-
tion Of the nation, puts the blame for
the metallurgie conflict on "the state
Of mind produced by the scandalous
spectacle Of the immoral and tragic ex-
travsgsnces Of the war and the ine1or-
able and continuous greed of specu-
lators."
After referring TO disastrous condi-
tions in communist Russia, a state.
ment issued by party leaders concludes
by expressing disbelief in state owned
industries, but<ssys there is hope the
present revolutionary movement Of
metal workers will result in victory
over the -egotistic and exploiting spir-
i and q proportional division Of bus
iness between capital and labor.
