soviet rule IN the lQQuSIr1al region
Of northern Italy came rather sudden
ly, but it was not unexpected by those
who were watching developments
there. The experiment of the workers
is of great interest, but the indications
are that it will be a failure.
Employers in the big metallurgical
works Of that part of the country un-
dertook to head off a threatened gen.
eral strike for increased wages by put
ting lockout into effect. The imme-
diate 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 ad-
ministrative staffs unanimously re-
fused to join in with the others, and
consequently the latter are having
hard time in making good. They have
no one capable of directing their eff
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 it.
| 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-
ber 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 sthe
100000 metal workers employed by
them would add at least 1000, 100000
lire to their pay roll, and that this
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 German!
only II. AS a result foreign produc
ton is replacing Italian.

Moses, who is one Of the "irreconcil-
ables," was renominated by the Re-
publicans, having a majority Of $4,000
over H. L. Spaulding in a total vote

Of Russians who were forced across
the East Prussian border have been
fulfilled. Several times lately large
bodies Of these reds have recrossed
the frontier and attacked Polish pO-
sitions. They were captured or re-
pulsed, but Poland naturally is peeved.
She has sent notes to the allied pow
ers. demanding that Germany be COM
pelled to follow the rules Of warfare
and keep these bolshevik forces in re-
straint. The Poles allege that the en-
tire Third bolshevik cavalry corps in
East Prussia has been neither dis
armed nor interned and their horses
have not been taken away from them.
They say these troops are in posi-
ton to charge across the frontier
whenever they wish. The Germans
reply that they have insufficient reichs-
wehr troops to guard so many reds.

the Russian soviet chiefs have failed
to show that they can establish social

At this writing Terence MacSwiney,
lord mayor Of Cork. was still alive. but
very weak, and there was no prospect
of his relief save by death. This may
be delayed a considerable time as he
is fed during his periods Of uncon-
sciousness. Sir Hamar Greenwood.
chief secretary for Ireland, on return
ing from a visit with Lloyd George in
Switzerland, announced: "The deci-
sion of the government is final and ir-
revocable. Neither the lord mayor Of
Cork nor any other Irish hunger strik-
er will be released. 1t would be
monstrous thing if any prisoner, po-
litical or otherwise, could secure his
release at will by refusing food"
The British government has made
it clear that the Irish need expect lit
tie leniency as long as they continue
their campaign of assassination against
the constabulary and military in Ire
land. 1t was reported from Rome that
the pope had interceded in behalf of
MacSwiney, and the mayors of num-
Der of American cities sent cable
grams asking his release. Dispatches
from London said Archbishop Mannix
of Australia might be permitted to go
to Ireland within a few days, having
convinced the authorities that he is op-
posed to extremist measures and seeks
to act as peacemaker.

Reports from southern Russia dur
ing the week were contradictory. One
day there would be a story Of the de-
feat of Baron WrangePs forces, and
the next day dispatches telling Of VIC
tories over the reds. At this time the
latest report is that Wrangels troops
had surrounded the bolsheviki at Kach-
ovka and that fierce battle was in
progress with the bridge over the
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 a joint offensive against the
reds in combination with Wrangel,
pointing out that peace negotiations
at Riga are imminent and that the al
lied attitude prevents the renewing Of
the campaign unless the soviet gov
ernment refuses equitable terms.
