ROME, March 29.-The first SERIOUS
reaction to the attempts to oommun-
ixe industry in Naples occurred on
the cath, when, under tho orders OF
.Gen. Angelic. another general and
700 police and soldiers stormed the
naval repair establishment OF Miami
6 sllvestri. which tho workers had
tried to appropriate.
Conditions are steadily becoming
more disturbed. Street car men con-
slider that the lines are run for their
exclusive benefit and preferential
treatment is given workingmen over
other passengers. Not less than
twenty street car strikes have oc-
CURED in single year. Protest
strikes are of almost daily occurrence.
Cooks and walters are particularly
comrades. On Thursday Naples was
completely tied up. All the laborers
struck in protest against the employ
ment of troops.
Demanded 100 Per Cent Increase.
Judgment of the events depends
upon ones personal bias. The facts
are these: The workers in the naval
establishment, in answer to the dis
missal of injured comrades. who, how
ever. had been indemnif1ed by the
company to the extent of 10000 lire
normally S2.000). presented them
selves at the office of the plant on
w Wednesday morning and demanded
an increase of 100 per cent in wages
and a gift of 20 lire ($14 each to the
CT c Cn6 dnC oil of ytrhn -a
to be reinstated.
The manager replied that he had no
authority to grant their demands, but
that he would put the case before the
owners. AS he left the building he
was struck on the head and seriously
injured by one of many pieces of iron
thrown by the strikers.
Then the strikers announced their
intention of running the shops for
their own profit. Their first act was
to pillage the small stores Of maca-
roni and tomatoes. on which they had
feast in a warehouse within the
gates of the plant. The feasting was
interrupted by the arrival Of troops.
who ordered many Of them to leave.
They refused. barricaded the doors
stones on the unfortunate soldiers,
who waited patiently for three hours.
Mnrksmen Open Fire.
Finally the general commanding
ordered mark smen forward. and these
opened fire on the strikers. A few. Of
these. possessing revolvers, returned
the fire, while others continued to
throw various missiles.
A regular siege ensued. until finally
several of the defenders who had
been wounded suddenly hoisted a
white flag. opened the gates and,
carrying wounded workers on a
stretcher. came out and asked for a
truce. The soldiers refused to recog-
nize this as legitimate type Of war
fare, rushed inside. regained posses
sion of the shops and made hundreds
Of arrests. In the meantime seven
wounded men had been taken to hos
pitals.
The workers Immediately declared
protest strike of twenty-four hours,
but in the course of the night one of
the wounded died. and hence the
strike was proclaimed another day
Little ragged. chilren were seen on
the streets wearing red cloths or

EXPRESS LIKE FREIGHT
IN SPEED, SAY D. C. MEN
Merchants and Manufacturers to
Wage Intensive Campaign
for Improvement.

Deploring the alleged slow delivery
or express matter to local merchants,
the Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation will wage an intensive cam
according to an announcement made
today by Secretary Charles j. Columbus
The situation is almost intolera-
ble.' said Mr.. A'lumbus Merchants
report that i lakes anywhere from
three to ten days to get matter by
ton. 1t should not take but one day.
If we are to have express companies
let them live up to their name. We
have been told by many merchants in
the city that matter sent by freight
reaches them as soon as does express
Mr.. Columbus stated a thorough
canvass of all the express houses in
the District would be made to ascer-
tain Just what trouble each had ex-
perienced. After all complaints have
been made a brief will be filed with
speedy action on the matter.
Announcement was made today by
the American Railway Express Com
pany that new efforts to improve the
standards of the express service
throughout the country are contem-
plated. The company. with the return
to private ownership, states it will
continue the handling of the busi-
ness as a single unit. for the time
being at least.
The statement of the company
urges shippers to be patient and to
lend their cooperation in lettering
the express service. 1t is said the
company is introducing great many
changes in methods, which it is ex-
pected will. within a reasonable time,
show results very satisfactory to
shippers.
I'VE have consolidated the routing
Of freight so that it is now on a ma
tional basis, giving shippers the most
direct railroad routes available for
the handling of their business" the
statement continues. The centralized
management has made possible the
introduction of standardized and i'm
proved methods of express operation
throughout the country. We believe
that shippers appreciate the advan-
tages of Capitalization of the ex-
press business.
"The situation with the express
business is different from that Of the
railroads, in that the government has
simply guaranteed the present com
pany against an operating def1cit for
the next six months. instead OF guar .
anteeing the profits for period Of
three years, as has been done with
the case Of the railroads.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild
but sure laxative, and their effect

These little olive-colored tablets are
the result of DIR. Edwards deter

The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after-effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or

trouble and quickly correct II. Why

IT'S TIE WAY YOU GO AFTER
THINGS
BY Georae Matthew Adams

One man goes ahead, does his work
and takes his prize. The other fellow
looks him over as he passes by and
says, Just an accident, that's ALL
But there are few accidents of tine
or of destiny.
Life is made up of angles-and it's
the angle you see it from that makes
you happy or unhappy, rich or poor.
recently read beautiful story that
Ellis Parker Butler tells. Two little
girls were playing in garden. One
said: II do not like this garden; I do
not want to stay here. Let us 60
home. There are too many thOrns on
the rose bushes" The other little
girl replied: why, this is a beautiful
garden. l like this garden. 1t is so
full of sunshine and there are so many
roses on the thorn bushes
It's the way you go after things
that determines what you are going
to get
And i is so much better to strive
for the things you love and want
and fail to get them-than to get the
things you do not strive for-and DO
rot want.
Failure is not to see-not to do
not to live!
To take days and hours with facility
is real heroism.
Yes the task that is given to each
man no other can do;
SO your work is awaiting: 1t has
awaited through ages for you.
And now you appear; and the flushed
Ones are turning their gaze
TO see what you do with your chance
in the chamber of days"
This is the inspiring thought that
Edwin Markham has penned. We are

may we'll be assured that if you sc
after things rightly, you will not dine

Good Evening
BY Roy X. Moulton
THEY'RE GOING OUT OF STYLE.

THEY'RE GOING OUT OF STYLE.
Old Effendi Ali Pasha Gazam used
to be the harem-scarem of Turkey, or
maybe it was Persia or Egypt or some
other benighted country that has not
yet learned to stand for two hours
in telephone booth without getting
an answer or to enjoy any of the
other great blessings Of civilization.
There were thousands of old Eaendi
who believed in harems, but they are
going out of style.
They are losing their taste for har-
ems just as some Americans are find
ing out that even a slight case of
bigamy is too much of a drain on the
pocketbook.
Before the war old Effendi used to
squat on an expensive rug with large
glass pipe full of genuine Pride OF
the Gravel Train tobacco in front Of
him, and fifteen or twenty yards of
rubber tubing leading to his mouth.
He would be surrounded by a bevy OF
good looking wives. He couldn't have
done that in New York, even before
the war, when prices were much lower
than they are now.
He wore a large ruby on the index
finger of his right hand, blew beautiful
smoke rings, ate stuffed mangoes with
his pocket-knife and was quite killer
with the ladies. All his wives looked
UP to him, and what he said went
If it didn't the wife went
He had trapdoor in the floor of
the throne room through which a
medium sized wife could be dropped
into the river with a minimum of
trouble and with almost no scandal.
The coming woman had not arrived
and she was, in fact, quite a long way
off. If one of them had asked him
for a new record for the victrola, ne
could compromise the matter with her
by having her carried out, sewed up
in a sack and set adrift nine miles at
sea, allowing her the privilege Of
swimming back in the sack.
Thus there was always harmony in
the home. Those were gala days for
the sterner sex in those parts.
But now the war has changed ell
| that, the same as it has changed a
great many other things. Effendi and
all his friends were considerably COS

He had lost his country. his ruby ring,

plain sewing and general housework.
While thus engaged, they picked up
number if ideas about women.
| They grew Indifferent to Effendl's
home; left the dishes standing in the
sink; refused to take care of the

MaWkish Sentimentality

At Brazil, Indiana, Homer S. Cummings, who
delivered a Democratic address in Richmond
Tuesday night, declared the Republican party is
driving President Wilson to an early grave by its
persistence in the fight against the League of
Nations.
This is about the smallest political argument
that has been advanced SO far during the cam
paign. If honest opposition to Wilson's scheme
to Europeanize the United States is responsible
for his paralysis, then Democrats will have to
share with Republicans the blame. Loyal and
patriotic senators from the Democatic side joined
with equally loyal and patriotic Republicans to
defeat an unparalleled threat against the liberty
and destiny of our republic.
