Rome, Sept. 9.-The coup by
which the Iockedsout metal workers
seized the factories throughout Italy,
giving rise in many quarters. to a
fear Of IL Bolsheyiki revolution, ap-
pears to be disintegrating. Reports
from many Industrial centers de-
clared the workmcn were DESERVING
the factories, where production has
almost entirely ceased, owing to the
refusal of the technical and clerical
staffs to join with the laborcrs.
1T is said by some that the modcr-
ate labor and socialist element are
also seeking dignified way out Of
the present situation, fearing tho
extremist might cause worse trouble
If they are not clrbed. High of-'

upn tho internal situation with 'sTt-
most confidence" and that the ''goV-
crnmcnt is amply capable Of crush
ing the present movement any tiInc
it desires.

that only the c0mplacent
good nature Of reporters who ''cov-

it from public humiliation.
Between Secretary Colby and the
newspapers there is i gcntlcmcn's
agreement that no reporter shall
print any questions or answers
which come up at the daily ''intcr-
view" with the press men. With
this rule in force, the public can
know nothing about our foreign af-
fairs except what the department
tells from time to time in its de-
natured statements. M~.
1t is Il notorious fact, for example,
that Poland has torn up the ccie-
brated Colby note and cast it to
the winds. In that note President
Wilson informed the world that
while America would guarantee the
independence of cthnographical Po-
land, this country would not tolcr-
ate the dismcmberment of Russia.
In pursuance of this idea, Prcsi-

Nilsson on Eight Hours.

On the occasion OF his seventy
third birthday. Thomas A. Edison.
consented" to take a halliday of
from work to permit his friends to
celebrate the anniversary. On the
subject OF work and the eight hour
day he said
II am not against the eight hour
day or any other thing that protects
labor from the exploitation at the
hands OF ruthless employers, but 1t
makes me sad to see young Americas
shackle their abilities by blindly
conforming with rules which force
the industrious man TO keep in step
with the shirker, | have always
felt that one OF the principal reasons
for American progress in the past
has been that every man had a
chance to become whatever he want
ed to be. 1t used to be fashionable
to be ambitious. The employe
planned to become an employer; the
unskiaed man sought to become
skillful. A young man was not well
thought of il he were not striving
for higher place in life.
To-day am wondering what
would have happened to me by now
IL fifty years ago some fluent talker
had. converted me to the theory OF
the eight hour day and convinced
me that it was not fair to my fellow
workers to put forth my best eff
forts in my work I am glad that
the eight hour day had not been in
vented when | was a young man.
II my life had been made up OF
eight hour days I do not believe l
would have accomplished a great
deal. This country would not
amount to as much as 1t does II the
young men of fifty years ago had
been afraid they might earn more
than they were paid"

About the Runom Primary.

county chairman but says he VIII
not serve again in that capacity
He states furthermore that the law
proyides that when there is to be
second or runoff primary to decide
between candidates for county OIL
flee that primary shall ba held on
the second saturday in August and
that he has resigned the chairman
ship and will not make provision
for. the election.
IL is understood that Mr.. Howell
and Miss Squyres expect to submit
themselves to runoff primary, and
somebody should see to holding the
election. 1t has been supposed that
this race would come on the 2Sth
along with the others and the matter
will be simplifled IL these names are
placed on the ticket for that cleo
ton. Even If not technically legal
the people can vote on the 2Sth and
IL will certainly be satisfactory to
all concerned. For sure, Scurry
county should not fail to hold the
second primary on August 2S.

The Methodist people of Snyder

hiding out around Snyder and not

and help to save the young people
