Signor Bonomi, who was due to leave
for Geneva as Italian delegate to the
League of Nations, has postponed his de-
parture in view of the gravity of the
situation created by the conflict with
D'Annunzio. The war minister is doing
everything possible to avoid an encounter
between the regular Italian troops OF
General Cavaglia and D'Annunzio's sol
diers, and still hopes a blockade isolat-
ing E'iume and preventing expeditions by
D'Annunzio volunteers may obyiate fur
ther trouble.
Commenting on the situation, which it
says it creating great anxiety, the Glor-
male dItalia expresses fears that the
situation may resolve itself into a trag-
edy". 1t points out that D'Annunzio
persists in opposing the treaty of Rapallo
believing that pact made too many sac
rifices of Italian interests in the Adria-
tic, and that he is determined to prevent
the treaty being applied. hoping Serbia +
national assembly viii not ratify it, in
which case D'Annunzio thinks Italy
would again acquire complete liberty oi
action.
The Italian government, however, the
paper points out, considers the treaty
as already having been ratified by Ser
hia through the approval OF the nrlnce
regent ana that isis ONLY awaiting Fati-
f.eation of the italian senate before being
put into force. Therefore General Cav.
ig1ia has been ordered TO occupy the
islands of Veglia and Arbe, which the
treaty assigned to Jugo Slavia.
These orders, the newspaper fears
may lead to the first real armed conflict
between Italian regular troops and fol-
lowers of d'Annunzio.

Working Hours Cut
In Steel Mills to
Employ More Hands

Pittsburgh, Pa. Dec. 2.-Workmen en-
ployed in q number of the smaller inde-
pendent steel plants in the Pittsburgh
district are beginning to feel the effects
of the readjustment in steel prices, an
nounced last week. The rate of wages is
not being cut, but working time is, thus
affecting the income of the worker.
With the time cut, all laborers will re-
ceive pay for eight hours work at 46
cents an hour, which means a reduction
Of income for the il hour men of AZ per
cent and for the ten hour men of II per
cent. This class of labor constitutes
about 40 per cent of the men employed
in the average steel mill.
Lahorers are not being discharged or
suspended, the plan in operation being to
distribute the work for all by cutting
working hours.

Representative Campbell of Kansas

Mr.. Meyer told the joint committee
that the act creating the War Finance
corporation was passed four months af-
ter the armistice and intended by con-
grcss to bridge over the situation by fin
ancing exports until normal economic con-

Edge Opposes Plan.
Opposition to the revamping of war
time government agencies for peacetime
operation was expressed in a statement
by Senator Edge, Republican, of New
Jersey He was anxious, he said, to help
the farmers and other classes equally,
but added that consumers were tired of
high prices.
''The only durable and infallible barom-
eter of business is the law of supply and
demand" Senator Edge said, 'and to set
up an artificial, uneconomic and false
structure for the maintenance of prices,

fering, is only postponing the evil day

strain trade and they were sent to
Jail.
Both under non-union shop condi-
tions.
A few years ago, Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison were tried and SEN
fenced for precisely the same offense;
they did not go to Jail.
In the first instance of the tailors
and New York workers, the organiza-
tions of labor had not become active.
Hence tailors of Baltimore and
workers of New York under non-union
shop conditions were deprived of
their liberty and even the pursuit of
happiness.
In the latter case of Gompers, Nit
chell and Morrison the activities of
the labor movement guaranteed to
these men liberty and pursuit of hap
piness and protected them in these
rights when assailed.
The Declaration of Independence
means just what it says; all men are
entitled to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness-yes, free-born.
Meaning no masters shall rule in
the flesh nor through and by the
golden calf.
The trainers of that Declaration
were wise, patriotic, God-fearing,
liberty-loving men; they made pro-
visions to carry out the intent and
purpose of that document. They had
experience with the monied class in
the old country, and knew that unless
provisions were made for the masses
of the people to protect themselves,
this country would be inhabited by
two classes
The controlling class and the con-
trolled-and would cease to be a free
country. 1t was but short time
after the signing of this document
when labor unions made their ap-
pearance.
Loyal, patriotic men saw what was
meant in that document and set them.
selves about to gain liberty and hap.
piness for those who toll.
The labor movement is the only
agency by which the masses are able
to obtain and secure happiness.
Labor organizations are the only
means by which labor can secure in
dustrial or political liberty - all
history confirms this statement.

Mr.. Wood Predicts

Lawrence, Mass.-Wm. M. Wood,
president of the American Woolen
company, predicts drop in the price
of mems clothing. He wants it un-
derstood that he means clothing" ,"
and not "cloth." His concern manu-
factures cloth and the price of this
commodity will not be lowered. He
says the company's mills have been
closed because of lack of orders, and
he can not say when they will be
opened.
There was nothing in the interview
to indicate that the workers are not
producing enough, and that this is
the cause for high prices. Now he
blames the dealer. The dealer, Of
course, will blame the woolen trust.
New York-The New York World
makes this editorial comment on the
statement by President Wood of the
American Woolen company that the
price of clothing will be reduced, but
that the price of cloth will not be re-
duced
"Thick-headed consumers have sup
posed that the price of clothing bore
some relation to the price of cloth.
If they are not now convinced of their
delusion it is not the fault of the
president of the wool trust"

ORGANIZATION Means Civilization
Arthur Brisbane Tells of the Many Benefits Which
Result From Trades Unions

Mr.. Brisbane, Mr.. Hearst's leading
editorial writer, made mention few
days ago of $50O,000 subscribed by
certain men to destroy labor organ
izations, and advised said persons
that the money so subscribed could
be applied for more laudable pur-
pose and its use would be the means
of accomplishing more profitable re-
suits to all if otherwise directed.
The work of the American Labor
Movement has been in line with the
best and highest ideals of American
citizenship. All it's efforts have been
in keeping with the progress of civil
ization.
If civilization means anything it
surely means that the masses shall
have an opportunity to develop, and
continue to develop until they reach
standard of intelligence and moral
understanding compatible with the
age in which we live.
The declaration of independence
AYERS that every person has right
to life, liberty and pursuit of happi-
ness. The only one of these three
he is possessed on coming into this
world is life.
Liberty has been dearly bought and
ho Of
SO long as the destiny of the worker
was wholly in the hands of the en-
ploying class the masses of the peo-
pie were little more than serfs.
Life we have when we enter the
world; liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, if it comes, arrives later; but
how are the masses to possess either
or both?
Thirty years after the Declaration
of independence was written, signed
and delivered, the town constable OF
New York passed on and fixed the
wage rate of the workers of New
York City, and the employee that
sought higher wage or shorter
hours was punished-the penalty the
whipping post.
AS late as 1910 the tailors of Balti-
more sought the privilege Of working
shorter hours and formed an organi-
zation for that purpose. When they
attempted to put this measure in
operation the masters sought the
power of the law, charging these
journeymen were attempting to re-

Will Defeat Allen

Wichita, Kansas-The candidate in
the republican primaries that trade
unionists and farmers voted for
against Governor Allen received co.
900 votes. Aliens friends predicted
that but 10000 votes would be re-
corded.
The Plain Dealer, published in this
city, declares that the big opposition
vote against Allen and the non-par-
tisan activity of the workers mean
the defeat of the governor next No
vember.
"The papers of the state" says the
Plain Dealer, "have found it conven-
lent not to report the result of the
primary, as they have done in recent
years, in order to keep from the pub
lie the full knowledge of the drub.
bing received by the administration.
at goes without saying that the
labor-farmer non-partisan forces have
established themselves as a factor to
be recknOned with, and the proper
and concerted action in November
will finish the job started when the
governor attempted to ride into the
presidency on the back of the labor
movement"

Peonage Advocates
Checked in Kansas

Topeka, Kan.-The supreme court
has been asked to set aside decision
by District Court Judge Mechanism of
Wyandotte county in which he de-
clared unconstitutional provision Of
the cant strike" law making liable
to arrest any person who would in
fiuence others to strike.
Judge McCamish's reason was tech
nical and held that this provision of
the "can't-strike" law violates the
state constitution because the provi-
sion is not clearly expressed in the
title of the peonage act.
The court said that the legality of
the "can't- strike" law as whole was
not before it, but the court intimated
his sympathy with the act by this
statement
"There is not and cannot be any
doubt that the state of Kansas,
through it's legislature, had the right
and power to deal with and settle in
dustrial disputes and that its power
is ample to accomplish the object and
purpose sought to be accomplished
by the enactment of the law known
as the industrial court.
"The only thing for serious con-
sideration by this court is as to
whether in the effort made by the
Legislature it has kept within con-
stitutional bounds"
Regardless of Judge McCamish's
reasoning, the fact remains that if
the decision is upheld it will be a hard
blow to the state industrial court,
which will be checked in its attempt
to silence strike agitation in this
state.
