Manufacturers Protest
Governments POLICY
of Mon-lnterference

MILAN. Italy. September 11.-Pro-
test against the action Of Italian
workmen in occupying industrial
plants IN this country was voiced in
of employers here. The manifesto
said employers wished it to be clearly
understood they had not 'fmproyfsed
fortunes by traf11cking in the ante
rooms OF ministries during the war"
put had created arms for Italy, and
Denented by the means Of hard work,
talent, fortitude and thrift"
The masses Of the workers today"
the manifesto continued, "maddened
by handful of professional poll
tlcians. have made impossible de-
manos. They had from US what they
tnem-welfare and manly dignity.
we gave as long as we could be-
cause the workers were our CO.
laborers and companions. They have
demanded wage increases amounting
to 1,500,OO0.000 lire per annum, when
than 3,000.OO0,00O lire
Our refusal of this demand result
ed in the men driving us from our
factories, sequestering those dear to
us and threatening our families. For
US law has been abolished, and the

every infamy is committed to iniure

Cancellation Is Urged
by Capitalist After
Meeting With Premier

MILAN. Italy. September 11.-Sig-
nor Agnelli, one of the richest and
most powerful Industrial magnates
in italy. has been in conference with
Premier Giolitti at Bardonecchia,
where the latter has been spending
the summer. 1t is known Signor Ag-
nelli was invited to Bardonecchia to
discuss the situation, but nobody
knows the substance of the CONVEX
sation which passed between him
and the premier. The result has been.
however, that Signor Agnelli after
leaving Signor Giolitti has urged
owners of industrial plants to meet
the men in a conciliatory manner.
The premier, who absolutely refused
TO permit the government to enter
into the situation arising from the
occupation of industrial works by
metal workers. has not ceased to fol-
low the movement with the closest
attention: and it has been surmised
he would be ready to intervene at
the right moment Many who know
OF his interview with Signor Agnelli
believe that that moment has ar
rived.
