Make Minor Changes.
The commission, however. made
two minor changes in the tariffs
asked by the company, modifying
several proposed message rate
charges. The new rates will be
effective until January 81, 1921.
The increases are as follows:
Unlimited telephone service. now IS

Two-party line residence phones.

Two-party-line business phones,
now $3.50 month, to So.

are increased to 81. ..
Tax Hotel Guests.
The company is permitted to charge
rs cents a month to list in the tele-
phone directory permanent guests
using hotel or apartment house pri-
vate branch exchange systems. This
is a new tax.
Other changes in cost of switch
board service and equipment are al
lowed by the commission.
1T Is of the opinion of the commits
sion that the distribution of the in
creased charges as proposed by the
company in it's suggested schedule OF
rates Is fair. just and equitable, the
rate order states.
The larger increase ia made upon
the class OF service which is employed
for business purposes, and which is
presumably directly profitable to the
user.
The proposed rate schedule, there
fore. in general will be approved.
with the exception that in the case
of measured service, including both
the individual lines and the private
branch exchange systems, where the
company proposes that the first fifty
local messages per month in excess
OF the initial rate charge shall be at
the rate of 5h cents each, the com
mission will establish the rate at s
cents per message for the first 100
local messages in excess of the initial
monthly charge"

Soviet rule in the industrial region
OF northern Italy came rather sudden
ly, but it was not unexpected by those
VINO were watching developments
there. The experiment of the workers
Is of great interest, but the indications
are that it will be failure.
Employers in the big metallurgical
works of that part of the country I'M

eral strike for increased wages by put
ting lockout into effect The imme-
date result was the seizure of the
plants by the workers, who put them
under the management of the soviets,
and are trying to operate them on COM
munistic principles. The owners did
not resist, but the technical and adj
ministrative STATS unanimously re-
fused to join in with the others, and
consequently the latter are having a
hard time in making good. They have
no one capable of directing their ef-
forts, and thousands of them are drift
ing away and refusing to work at all.
In the plants that are running the
waste is said to be appalling.
So far the communists have gener-
ally refrained from violence-indeed,
there has been no occasion for 1t.
Therefore the government has declined
to interfere, trusting that the employ
ers and men will finally adjust their
differences. The government Of Italy
is in a more precarious position than
any other of the great powers and
cannot afford to antagonize the labor
ties and communists. If the soviet
movement spreads to other industries
and interferes with the public services
and the provisioning of the people,
Premier GiOlitti may be forced to in
tervene. In order to meet that event
uality, it is said, the employees OF the
communized automobile factories at
Turin are building armored cars and
tanks, and the airplane makers at
Brescia are mounting on planes num-
Der of machine guns that were secret
ly removed from the arsenal at Ven-
Ice. The situation may be cleared up
by two conferences that opened near
the close of the week.
Italian manufacturers declare that
the wage increase demanded by the
500. 600 metal workers employed by
them would add at least 1,OOOUO,ooo
lire to their pay roll, and that TINS
burden could not be sustained. They
point out that Italy pays Is times the
pre-war price for coal. while England
pays only three times, America only
3.5, France six, and even Germany
only IL. AS a result foreign produc-
ton is replacing Italian.

day there would be story OF the de-

the next day dispatches telling Of vic

had surrounded the bolsheviki at Kach-

progress with the bridge over thu
Dnieper river as the immediate prize.
The town Is of great strategic value.
The Russians are using most Of their
reserves in combating Wrangel. The
Polish general staff has declined to
undertake joint offensive against the
reds in combination with Wrangel,
pointing out that peace negotiations
at Riga are imminent and that the al

the campaign unless the soviet gov
